he isn’t leaving Johnathan Smith at this stage of his career. He turned down opportunities while at Oregon St. to go to other programs.
The coaching profession in pretty much every sport is hilarious with these kinds of stories about guys just free falling upwards into gigs like this.
I'm very intrigued by Bama's strategy of replacing the greatest coach in the history of CFB by trying to recreate 2019-20 Indiana football magic.
He's still coaching? He was old when he was coaching for Tedford at Cal. I recall asking him whose fault it was that Longshore kept throwing to empty field spaces during the 2007 USC game (two wrong routes run by WRs, two missed hand checks at the line)
I think at this point I trust Bryne enough to think there’s a good chance it works out, definitely the best option of what was available
I actually sort of appreciate the bandaid approach they're taking. Why suffer through a steady decline when you can start rebuilding right away?
There's no rhyme or reason to why any of this works or doesn't in a lot of ways. I just think it's funny.
Former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald is seeking a December trial date for his wrongful termination case and will not coach until its concluded. https://www.espn.com/college-footba...tzgerald-attorney-seeking-december-trial-date Despite coaching NW for 17 seasons (110-101), he’s only 49 years old. He took NW to 10 bowl games in 17 seasons, and finished ranked 5 times, including 10 in 2020, Prior to Fitzgerald, NW had 6 bowls ever and finished ranked twice since 1948.
Brian Jean-Mary is allegedly the target for UM as the LB coach. Sam Webb is killing everyone with info on all these coaching searches, but the Jean-Mary stuff is some of the weirdest coverage I've ever seen.
there is a hire that can really help Michigan, a veteran coach with both NFL and college experience, who has been a DC and a HC at the college level. He also has strong ties to a fertile recruiting ground. Spoiler
Seems like a replacement for Trovon Reed getting an on field job. I remember his reputation at Grayson, but what did people say about his time at Tech?
Lot of hype when he came on board, can’t really point to anything he actually did though. No one is really concerned he’s leaving, which is probably all you need to know
Was making 750k and the previous TE coach at South Carolina was making 400k. Don't think this one is monetary related. Apparently he never actually moved to Atlanta (primary residence is still in Columbia).
Just won 7 games and has done a fairly good job there. Wonder if he just wanted to be back at SC because that move makes absolutely no sense otherwise.
Hated Atlanta. Never moved his family. Would go home all the time. Or atleast that is what twitter told me
He probably looked at South Carolinas schedule and though an interim HC tag could be on the table again.
