Until Dabo is gone, I can't see BC finished better than 2nd in their division depending on how well Norvell does at FSU
 
Good lord, Mark Blaudschun's coverage is all over the place. He's also able to take one tidbit of info and write a full article about nothing.

ACC still plays an 8 conference game schedule, so it’s manageable to get BC bowl eligible on a consistent basis which is what Addazio did. The ACC Atlantic is not an easy division, but BC could not break through the past few years with FSU down.

BC is taking a big risk hiring Hafley. He has a reputation as a great recruiter, but he has no head coaching experience and he is co-defensive coordinator in name only so he really has no coordinator experience.

The goal of the new BC coach is to have an 8 or9 win season, maybe pull an upset, and move on to a better job.
 
Besides new HCs and their staffs, there are always changes to the assistant coaching positions. When does that merry-go-round generally start? After the dust has settled for the HC vacancies?

Disagree on Hafley. I think he is about as good of a hire as they could hope to make. It shows me there is still a little cachet attached to the position. If he hires well on the offensive side of the ball he’ll do alright. He will clean up the 3* talent in the NJ private and Catholic Programs. He’ll give his old mentor fits on the recruiting trail.

Hafley could be a good recruiter, but the Joisey native, Siena alum had not coached college ball before 2019 since 2011 and bounced around every season or so in the NFL and college alike. Yup, bcu’s AD, an ex-OHSU asst AD, may be rolling ‘em at a far more challenging school to recruit than Columbus. Time will tell ...

As I said, great recruiter, no experience as a head coach or coordinator. It could be a great hire, but it’s a high risk hire. He has not been an offensive coach and he has never hired an offensive coordinator or any other coach.

What this hire tells me is BC decided to hire on the cheap so they could not attract a proven head coach. People may fault Rutgers for hiring Schiano, but even if he doesn’t work out, he has helped fix two of Rutgers problems: low spending on coaches and facilities.
 
Although we’ll never get details because BC is private, rumor is Hafley got $3MM/yr. I wouldn’t call that hiring on the cheap
 
UAlbany is a birthplace of many Northeastern coaches. Bob Ford was there for 35 years and touched a lot of guys. So ... while they say NJ guy, Hafley actually has college experience at several northeast D1 (Pitt & RU). And Thamel ... Dion Lewis is from Albany. Albany Academy = same as Andre Jackson of our next hoop team.
 
Clemson hired Dabo, who had no head coach or coordinator experience. He was a wide receivers coach. He went from "bad hire" to "hot seat" to an iconic coach.

Someone (Phillips) believed in him...
 
If a coach can out recruit his competition, is not a complete xxxooo idiot, he will succeed.

Find future NFL quarterbacks and sign them...and build from there. Tall order but Dabo did that.

In today’s world, that is hiring on the cheap for a P5 school. And, that would not have been a raise for Luke Fickell or Mike Norvell of the G5 AAC, not to mention well below Holgerson at Houston. And, it puts Hafley near the bottom of ACC head coaching pay.

Schiano got $4 million and a huge bump in assistant coach pay to ~$7.7 million per year. I doubt BC will step up on assistant pay.

Swinney is a bad comp for Hafley. Swinney had been at Clemson for 6 years before he was hired as full time head coach. And he was given a trial as interim head coach for 7 games before he was hired as head coach. Plus, Clemson is a much easier place to recruit than BC.
 
Every coaching hire is a crap shoot. There are very few sure fire hires. Look at the flame outs/plateauing for a lot of coaches. Schiano 2.0 is going to be no better than Edsall 2.0. Fickell is probbaly the only existing head G5 coach that has value but he has as much risk as a coordinator from a top 5 team.

BC at least hired a coach that fans of the former school are sorry to see leave.

Fickell has 4 years of head coaching experience, although one was the temporary coach for Ohio St. And, he has won and rebuilt a program and he has 10 years of experience as a coordinator. He was listed as a potential coach for BC, but he is currently paid what Hafley is rumored to be getting, so that wasn't happening. I think he is holding out for a top Midwestern job, either Michigan St. or Notre Dame.

As for Schiano, the rebuild at Rutgers 2.0 is much harder than 1.0 due to the competition in the Big 10 East. I'm not sure anyone could make Rutgers more than a mid tier team in the Big 10 East, but they have a shot with Schiano. That said, he will recruit well his first two years.
