2019 Coaching Carousel -> Picking up speed.

[Exit 4]

Interesting that Thamel's story has not one, but two former UConn assistants in jeopardy in their current jobs.

Defensive coordinator Todd Orlando’s work with Herman at Houston played a pivotal role in Herman getting the Texas job. But the results have diminished to the point where strong consideration has to be given for an upgrade. With Texas struggling to meet expectations, changes are expected. How significant they’ll be is the major question, especially – but not exclusively – on the defensive side of the ball.

4. What’s going to happen at Mississippi State?
Could there be another coach fired after just his second season? That’s an increasing possibility as the Bulldogs have sputtered this season and Joe Moorhead’s offensive acumen hasn’t translated without Saquon Barkley in the backfield.

Welcome back to the Dog Pound, Todd and Joe!!!

 

[Hoophound]

Would you take Orlando as HC here? I probably wouldn’t.

Moorhead for sure, but he’ll have great P5 offers if fired.

 

[uconNYC]

I'll take Moorhead in a heartbeat

>>Two names have emerged as potential backup targets for Rutgers athletics director Patrick Hobbs if Schiano is not the hire, several individuals with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media: Michigan linebackers coach Anthony Campanile and Los Angeles Rams assistant coordinator for offense Jedd Fisch, both New Jersey natives.<<

>> As for Schiano, several individuals close to him believe he would have interest and could emerge as a serious candidate at Boston College if that job opens. The Eagles are 5-6 this season after a blowout loss at No. 15 Notre Dame on Saturday. The Eagles will need to win at Pittsburgh next weekend to finish .500 and qualify for a bowl game, and a loss to the Panthers could spell the end for Steve Addazio, according to Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel. Addazio is 43-44 in seven seasons at BC; he has never won more than seven games with the Eagles and has just one victory over a team ranked in the Associated Press Top 25.

Schiano is a devout Catholic and has ties to the area and school. Boston College athletics director Martin Jarmond was an administrator at Ohio State during Schiano’s first year as the Buckeyes’ defensive coordinator, and Belichick is close friends with New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, briefly joining the team’s coaching staff earlier this year. Schiano also has two sons playing football at Amherst College, a Division-3 school about two hours away from Boston College’s Chestnut Hill campus. <<

The BC fan base would erupt if they fired Addazio and replaced him with Schiano. Not happening.

Yeah but I would love it! "Two great tastes that taste great together" let them both burn!

I look forward to @HartfordHank and the BCmoran crying about this one. Could be fun.

I agree, but hopefully Rutgers falls for that nonsense and hires Schiano quickly. Schiano trying to negotiate a bigger deal is laughable, nobody else is calling.

 

[huskymedic]

>>Although they went deep into discussions this week, Schiano wasn’t going to accept job parameters that he felt wouldn’t give him a realistic chance to win in the conference. The sides couldn’t come to an agreement over multiple facets of the negotiation. While Rutgers was willing to increase support significantly from its current levels, it wasn’t to the threshold that Schiano saw as the minimum to be competitive in the Big Ten East.

A source with direct knowledge of the negotiations said that Schiano’s salary was not one of the hold-ups. He was slated to be paid among the bottom three head coaches in the Big Ten. The source added that Schiano made concessions from many of his initial asks. <<

I've contended for awhile that BC makes a lot of sense as a landing spot for Schiano. BC heavily recruits the NJ Catholic Schools, and Schiano would serve that aim very well. I believe his blue collar approach would play very well in Boston. The ACC is desperate for anybody to step up and provide some opposition for Clemson. In a normal world that would be FSU and Miami, however both programs are currently dumpster fires. Schiano could make BC an 8 or 9 win program in the weak ACC. What is he going to accomplish trying to compete with OSU, PSU, UM, and MSU in his own division? Rutgers will never have the institutional support to compete with 3 of the 10 winningest programs of all time. There's a reason they say you can't go go home again in sports as history shows it rarely works.

Disagree. The BC fan base would view Schiano as a slightly better version of Addazio. And, there is no way that BC would offer Schiano $4 million per year.

Unfortunately for Rutgers, they are in the Big 10 East and they are, by far, the worst program in that division. I just can't see how Rutgers will ever be consistently competitive in that division. I think Schiano knows that as well.

 

[huskymedic]

So there!

 

[Exit 4]

why turn this down unless you are headed to a different northeast school? BC nuclear clock just moved closer to midnight.

Nothing to cry about, it ain't going to happen. First they need to fire Addazio and I am not confident that is going to happen. I hope it does.

The state of college football finances is off the rails. But here's the funny thing: the jet and the 25 million? Dumb.

But the 4 million salary and guaranteed 7 million for the 10 assistants? Absolutely, based on the competition they play against and the money they get from the conference contract. There's no other way to compete against those other schools in the B1G than to invest big...

 

[huskymedic]

>>Schiano did not make over-the-top demands. He didn’t set the market for a Big Ten head coach. That eight-year, $32-million salary that’s giving everyone sticker shock would have landed him in the bottom quarter of conference salaries. That $7.5 million pool for assistant coaches and football-office staff is still a full $5 million less than Ohio State and Penn State. He was taking things off the table over the past two weeks, two sources confirmed, not making additional demands.<<

Yup.

And now extrapolate that to UConn where, although we are playing against folks with smaller bank rolls, we are fighting to get qualified assistants 100k extra to stick around.

You can't win without the investment...

Imagine if we had that kind of money to spend on assistants. We'd actually have an OC and DC that could get the job done immediately

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Schiano would have been a decent hire for them....but he isn’t worth breaking the bank. I still think Butch Jones is the better option. But I think he withdrew his name.
