This is one of the hazards of the early signing period. It should be understandable to let a position coach go immediately after the season, but clearly JM should have made it clear to potential recruits that something could happen. If it isn't, I think this is truly one of those rather rare situations where I think the recruit has justification for being granted a transfer no holds barred. I understand the reasons for not blasting the news out, but IMO no effort should be made to force a commit into staying if this information was withheld......for any reason.....justifiable or not.
Coaching Carousel 2020
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
Sounds like the big money donors wanted someone from the current staff as head coach - but the media and popular opinion were dead set against that idea - so it flamed out. Meanwhile Venebles and few other candidates had already figured out they were 2nd choice to the guy on staff the money people wanted. A search committee was then put in place - and pretty much everyone qualified told Auburn to suck it. So they had to hire someone - hence the Boise St. guy. A screwed up search - because they AD and boosters thought they would get "their guy" and were foiled by everyone else........could make a movie about this stuff.
But but but ESPN said for three hours during their bowl game, they didnt have any players
Penn State replaces offensive coordinator after one season
Penn State has hired Mike Yurcich as offensive coordinator, replacing Kirk Ciarrocca after one year with the former Texas and Ohio State assistant.
Yurcich was offensive coordinator at Texas last season, but found himself out after the school fired coach Tom Herman last week.

Have to get there first.
Lets rebuild the program first, fill holesin rosters.
Then win some games.
Then get some attention from those types of teams, then lets do it
In essence, Alabama has 12 additional coaches. All these guys are seasoned pros. 12 more sets of eyes examining film. 12 more sets of eyes watching practice. 12 more well contacted men helping recruit. 12 more men offering expert analysis on how to scheme a game. This is money well spent.
The ST analysis Frost hired was responsible for bringing in the only all conference player NU has had in years. He is also responsible for bringing in a punter who before injury was highly hyped.
Anyone who doesn't think these people have value is not thinking clearly.

If you build something before the paints dried on the first parts that were built, you have to be perfect not to make a mess.
It took Saban years to convince and create this.
But create it he did.
Yet they still get beat
They don't get beat very often and play for the NC nearly every year for a reason. They know that it costs big buck to be the big dog and are willing to bite the bullet.
For years at NU we have seen the results of football on the cheap. Hiring second rate and unproven coaches with the "diamond in the rough" approach. Too much of this and too much of the good old boy home grown hero approach.
The fact that there is a big debate over having one analysis shows this administration is not ready for big time football. Alabama went out and hired a proven coach giving him a fat paycheck. They allowed him to hire a dozen analysis. They allow him to hire assistants who also get fat paychecks. It is not by coincidence that former pro HCs are coming to Alabama as assistants. They make a good pay check and are given all the resources they want. They will hang around Alabama for a couple of years helping build and maintain a premier program then someone will say this guy knows what it takes and give him another chance at HC.
We have all seen how unprepared Frost's teams have been in some games. We have all watched as proper adjustments were not made. We have seen a team where we were schooled in the second half time and time again. It doesn't take a genius to see that some of these coaches are in over their heads. To me you have three choices. 1. Replace them. 2. Continue with the status quo and hope they improve. 3. Hire a seasoned analysis to assist them. The question is are we ready for the big time or do we just want to talk big.
My point is, we have to walk before we run.
The STs thing needs action now,not then, cant, or tomorrow, too late, but now.
All these other things need to wait
The things being built and aged into the program take time.
You can ruin a thing overnight that took decades to build.
Did I just say decades?
Im just glad we have someone who knows what it looks like thats in charge.
The refinements come later.
My point is you can walk better if you have help. Just naming someone a ST coach or any other position coach for that matter does not make them a ST coach or position coach. They need knowledge and experience. Why not bring in a proven analysis to aid them?
