It's that time of year again. Les Miles has been hired at Kansas, Texas Tech, Louisville, Colorado and Maryland all have openings and Mack Brown is going back to UNC? Duke's got to make a move and hire Larry Coker or someone now.

laughing when I heard UNC was bring Mack Brown back. Dude looked like the living embodiment of "I'm too old for this shit", 8 years ago. Strangely...he's the same age as Saban. I guess winning gives you that glow.

the spin on IC right now is that Fedora burned all our bridges with NC high schools so Mack is supposed to get us back in their good graces and set us up for the next coach.
12. "USC OC Tee Martin fired" In response to Reply # 0
not surprising since he was demoted midseason. he went from a longshot Tennessee HC candidate to out of favor pretty quickly...now he won't even get a look as Tennessee's offensive coordinator due to his ties to USC (former OC Tyson Helton was the QB coach with Martin at USC in 2017 and then led a bad UT offense in 2018).
13. "Paul Johnson retirement appears imminent" In response to Reply # 0
he was our best coach since Bobby Dodd, and did things with nobodies that Gailey and O'Leary couldnt do with blue chippers
i keep seeing Ken Whisenhunt's name and it makes me real uneasy. Monken and Nieumatololo HAVE to be the first calls, but KN may not want to be Butch Jones to PJ's Brian Kelly. there are talented option QBs on the roster, but nothing else. i suppose a spread n shred could work, but a "modern" offense leads us to 0-12 next year at worst, or perpetual 8-4 at best.

3 Coastal titles, 1 ACC chip, 2 Orange Bowls (1 win), beat UGA 3 times after Gailey never did, 5-7 record vs Dabo which has to be #1 in the conference by a mile

But yo! JB about to lock down this top 25 class and adding to it! I just want two more years, not being greedy.
He's also getting a top 10/15 CFB salary now and I'm totally good with it. Mitch Daniels (only Republican I like) and our AD have not been playing around.
25. "Who I guess didn't even get an interview for UNC?" In response to Reply # 24
I don't know, a successful young coach who is already in my state and has a current relationship with local high schools would seem to be a no-brainer, but when you've got a chance to hire a guy who hasn't coached in five years . . .

38. "Did you like the coordinators in the SEC championship game?" In response to Reply # 0
Colorado to hire UGA DC Mel Tucker Maryland very strongly looking at Bama OC Mike Locksley.
Locksley was a trainwreck at UNM, but that was years ago and he's got Saban's blessing and developed their first genuine stud QB. He could make the Terps a consistent bowl team at least.

I like that he's won championships at nearly all of his stops. Plenty of head coaching experience, which was important since his predecessor at ECU had none. Born in North Carolina and been a HS and college coach there for years, which is huge when it comes to in-state recruiting.

**************** TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
50. "And Locksley to Maryland is official" In response to Reply # 0
I'll admit I'm a LITTLE surprised that they're officially replacing the coach that got a player killed with the guy who punched one of his assistants, if only for the optics. But he's got that Saban shine on him now and it was long enough ago. If Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian could keep getting jobs, no reason he shouldn't, plus he's more familiar with the area than most.

57. "Hopefully he has grown from the time at New Mexico" In response to Reply # 50
I guess they wanted someone people knew and who had connections and personal ties to the DMV. It sure wasn't much of a "search", they grabbed him quickly.
he was our recruiting coordinator when we signed our best class of the last 15-20 years (the Josh Nesbitt, Jonathan Dwyer, Morgan Burnett, Derrick Morgan group) and he knows Tech.
But his actual teams have not blown me away. We shredded his Miss St defense in the Orange Bowl 4 years ago, and then the Rudock-led Michigan team in 2015 shredded his UF defense in that Citrus Bowl.
So...i dunno. We are pretty niche-built roster wise on offense but hes already talking "NFL style" offense. I love his attitude and approach, but im not sure about the method.

Jay Glazer seems to think so
https://twitter.com/JayGlazer/status/1082368963663736833 I’m hearing Kliff Kingsbury is interviewing with NFL teams, which likely means he has resigned as USC offensive coordinator. USC was blocking him from interviewing foe NFL head coaching openings @NFLonFOX

81. "OU gave Grinch 1.5 million" In response to Reply # 0
kinda interesting given that Grinch accomplished nothing as a coach and as a recruiter at OSU and his position unit (safeties) was absolutely wretched along with some horrible personnel decisions.
I guess Schiano takes the blame for everything here?
86. "he seemed to have done a good job at Wazzu" In response to Reply # 81
he's also used to coordinating a defense that has to deal with a quick-possession offense, which he'll deal with in Norman.
we'll find out if he was a symptom of Ohio State's 2018 defense or just stuck in a bad situation.
>I guess Schiano takes the blame for everything here?
more or less. but either way Schiano was only at Ohio State because of Meyer, so had the Buckeyes been good on defense this season he'd still probably be out.
>>. but either way Schiano was only at Ohio State >>because of Meyer, so had the Buckeyes been good on defense >>this season he'd still probably be out.

90. "Schiano definitely was only at Ohio State because of Meyer" In response to Reply # 89
like...that was openly admitted by both of them. Schiano kept his name warm at a high profile program and Meyer got an associate HC to CEO his defense.
now that Meyer is gone, the deal doesn't make sense for Ohio State, Day or Schiano. regardless of the on-field results, Day has no connection to Schiano and isn't going to let his one (only) big HC shot go up in flames or undermined by a gruff veteran who has been a NFL HC.
likewise, Schiano has bigger aspirations than caddying a 39-year-old's college defense and isn't going to wait around and get blamed a la Mike Stoops and Lincoln Riley.
91. "do you have a quote on this?" In response to Reply # 90
>like...that was openly admitted by both of them. Schiano kept >his name warm at a high profile program and Meyer got an >associate HC to CEO his defense.
I've never once heard the suggestion that meyer was doing schiano a fire by hiring him a la zach smith or billy davis.
and his defenses were very productive up until this year. its not like he wasn't carrying his weight up until this year.
if the defense didnt require a full house cleaning i see no reason why he couldn't have stayed.
92. "did not equate him to Smith or imply it was a "favor"" In response to Reply # 91
it was a mutually beneficially agreement. but almost entirely based on the relationship between Meyer and Schiano. I mean shit, at the time Fickell was still the DC and Schiano took a co-coordinator role.
2015: "I had been a head coach for 13 years and then after the NFL had done some TV work with ESPN and with NFL Network," said Schiano. "Truthfully, as an assistant, it really would only have been with very few people. And Coach Meyer being at the head of the list."
"I have a history with Coach Meyer that goes back pretty far and we’re both closely aligned in our beliefs." Schiano said. "So, I think it’s going to be a great situation."
2017: "(Schiano) was offered two head coaching jobs -- two significant head coaching jobs -- and he made a decision to come back," Meyer said. "I've known Greg for a long time -- and he's a head coach. He will be a head coach (again)."
"I'm going to keep him as long as I can," Meyer said. "I thought he was one of the best I've ever been around. He's a little better than that. That's how good of a coach he is."
95. "Ok i guess i misinterpreted your initial statement" In response to Reply # 92
and while neither of us can prove this i think Schiano (and Grinch) for that matter could've and would've been retained had things gone well this past season. instead it was a clusterfuck and I'm not sure who is responsible for what. I will say that whoever started Jahsen Wint (#23) at safety should've been fired on the spot and barred from campus.
>I mean >shit, at the time Fickell was still the DC and Schiano took a >co-coordinator role.
Nah, Fickell was co-DC in name only. That was Chris Ash's defense.
99. "Tennessee to bring back OC Jim Chaney" In response to Reply # 0
I'm neutral to the move, although I thought he did a solid job back in his first stint with Dooley.
Georgia's passing offense wasn't as good as the talent these past two seasons, however. and Tennessee will not have the personnel to overwhelm teams like Georgia has.

Hopefully Pruitt doesn't handcuff him too much. This does give me flashbacks to the worst UT defense I've ever seen under Sunseri. Chaney would put up like 35 points a game and still lose.
