If Butch promotes Larry Scott to OC I will be completely underwhelmed. He's fighting for his drat job, go out and get the best freaking guy available. I don't get it.

In a weird twist of events Mississippi State and Louisville traded defensive coordinators with Todd Grantham going to State and Peter Sirmon going to Louisville. Both fanbases appear happy to be rid of their DC's. Sirmon also has a nephew in Washington that is a 5 star quarterback recruit in the 2018 class and his son is a three star linebacker recruit also in the 2018 class.

MourningView posted:I don't think he really pushed him, other than helping him get a crappy scouting gig with Belichick after he got hurt and washed out as a player. From there Brian has genuinely done a really good job. He turned his gift admin job into a legit coaching role with the Pats and impressed everyone there. He was in the running to take over for O'Brien as OC before McDaniels went back and O'Brien tried like hell to get him as oline coach with the Texans. Everyone around the Pats was talking about him as a future head coach within like a year. And at Iowa he completely turned around the running game and got a ton out of a banged up offensive line starting multiple walk ons. He's been the best coach on staff outside of Phil Parker. I didn't say anything about assuming he was bad. I was merely pointing out that nepotism is a hell of a thing in football, but if he really wanted to prove himself he'd try to do it on a team that's not Daddy's rather than have some mild success on the Pats and then leap to Daddy's team to move up the ranks. It's definitely a flaw of mine but I can't respect those people at all.

Looks like they're letting Brian completlely overhaul the offensive staff, which is good. Kennedy was trash and hired at the recommendation of Davis, so no surprise there. White is a little surprising because his position has been doing fine, but it's also running backs coach so this is probably motivated mostly by a desire to improve recruiting.

It's definitely a flaw of mine but I can't respect those people at all. He could be an NFL OL coach right now if he wanted to be. O'Brien tried to hire him and he nearly took it. Working for your dad in the town you grew up in and getting to coach at the school you played for is probably pretty cool!

Mark Banker is out as Nebraska DC; DBs coach Brian Stewart took the DC gig at Rice, and Director of Player Personnel Ryan Gunderson is supposedly taking a coaching gig somewhere, too. The Banker thing is a surprise; not only because of the timing (folks have posited Riley is going for an NFL guy) but we've long heard from those familiar with Oregon State — hell, I remember some people here saying as such — that one of Riley's downsides has been being loyal to Banker to a fault. Guess he's not loving around.

CBS reports Rhett Lashlee leaving Auburn for OC job at UConn. I got no idea what to think of this. There was talk he would be considered for their HC job, the AD came from Auburn. This looks on paper like a Nussmier style "you're not 'fired' but you should probably find another job now" but that doesn't make a ton of sense given his relationship with Malzahn and the way the offense actually took off this season when he got playcalling authority. Could be the inverse of that -- Lashlee got tired of never getting a HC job cause nobody knows how he'll do outside of Gus's shadow. Maybe some personal poo poo went down, who knows.

Dango Bango posted:Dammit Gover you always beat me to posting Nebraska news In hindsight it's not super surprising. It's one thing to be loyal to your guys when you're at a middling program like Oregon State, it's another thing to do it when you have one of the highest profile jobs in college football. Next year is the year that Riley's leash gets a lot shorter and he knows it.

Yeah, Bruce Read had been with him forever, too, and was shown the door (we had little to no return game and Lighbourn certainly wasn't great, though I can't imagine how difficult it was for him to take that gig after Foltz died). I heard names like Bob Diaco and Tim DeRuyter thrown out there by people who looked at a list of "recently fired HCs who have defensive experience" but nobody has any idea who Riley is gunning for here.

There was talk he would be considered for their HC job, the AD came from Auburn. I think he probably thinks he needs to show he can be fully in charge of an offense before he can get a head coaching job. I also read he's taking a huge pay cut going to UConn, so who knows. I'm really worried about who the new OC will be. In my fantasy they hire Chip Kelly, but it's probably going to be someone already at the program (Herb Hand) or a Briles (please no).

I could see Chip doing OC in the NFL, but I just couldn't see him doing it in college again. Maybe he joins some team as an analyst position like Lane or Sark (though they were already tapped to be the OC anyway) and just uses that to keep himself in the game without doing any damage to himself until a position opens he wants.

Yeah if he wants to work this year he'd take Cal HC. Even if he would I can see some downsides -- possible clash of ideas, both he and the recruits know he won't be around next year and he hates recruiting anyway so you probably fall off there at least a little bit. Chip Lindsey is a name getting tossed around, was a film guy at Auburn before going to Arizona State.

Do alright for a couple of years, beat a P5 or four, get poached. If his offense works well up there his floor should be third in the AAC East. His closest competition in a two year stay should be USF until they show otherwise and UCF until Nebraska poaches Scott Frost. dirty shrimp money fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Jan 12, 2017 |

It's an interesting turn, given that Edsall was a pretty straight pro-style type guy, same with almost every Northeast program. Lashlee opens up the door to use The American's wide geographic profile to UConn's advantage for the first time. Of course, almost all this will have to be done by assistant coaches, since Randy don't recruit.

What the hell is going on? First, Rhett Lashlee leaves his job as OC at Auburn, where he had seemingly proven himself after being given expanded duties, to accept the same position at UConn? For much less money? Only way that makes sense to me is if he was pseudo-fired and told to find another job (in which case, why?), or he had a falling out with Malzahn, or I guess if he felt like he would never be able to parlay his Auburn gig into a head coach job because everyone would credit Malzahn with the offensive success. Then Meachem leaves his gig as the co-OC with playcalling duties at TCU, to take over the offense at... Kansas? That's just... what? Does he have some personal reason that he needs to live in Kansas or something? Finally, it turns out Casey Horny, the unfortunately named QC guy we hired from Baylor, was a somewhat outspoken defender of Briles on twitter. So, yeah, fuuuuuuuck that guy. How good could a loving QC guy possibly be that it would justify bringing in someone who is tainted like that, a member of Briles' staff who continued to align himself with Briles after the report? Exceptionally questionable judgment from Tom Herman on this one.
