2021 Coaching Carousel picking up riders…

[DoctorWho85]

-> Connecticut - Athletic director David Benedict has been busy vetting candidates since parting ways with Randy Edsall in early September. This week should indicate whether Benedict attempts to hire someone who can arrive soon and build for a few weeks toward the early Signing Day or waits toward the end of the season. Names to watch: Holy Cross HC Bob Chesney, Minnesota co-DC Joe Harasymiak, Oregon OC Joe Moorhead and Dolphins assistant Anthony Campanile. <-

This is the news I've been waiting for. Moorhead should be the top choice. He would already have the players to install his offense immediately and it would be light and day difference (see Mazzone's offense the 2 weeks he was here). Of the rest I think Harasymiak and Chesney are on the same footing and both would be a good hire. Don't know how I feel about Campanile. If we were going that route why not try to get Bill O'Brien. That dude knows qb's and made Penn State respectable again.

 

[Yup!]

Moorhead is a name to watch out for… hmmm this writer must be delusional because UConn is small time

Not like Moorhead has a history at UConn or having success at three separate schools in the northeast, one of which he was HC at.

I like the proven head coaches and I think that’s the way Dave will lean here. Campanile seems risky.

 

[freescooter]

We have sucked since we kicked Jesus out of the huddle

If he can run and pass, we’ll take him.

 

[noeynox]

I prefer if he could block and tackle.

Very.... unless we're trying to assemble a staff to go along with the HC...

I know I know, HC makes the call on who's on his staff, but conventional wisdom hasn't worked out too well for us lately...

BTW, how's Terry Richardson been doing these past few years? Would live to have him back leading our RB room...

 

[huskymedic]

So much for yesterday’s list…

 

[ktuck911]

And that's a lot better than the Chesney chants going on on this board. Thank God

Let’s pray we got some pens to paper over the last few days. Would think they would shoot higher, he’s an alumni though.

Yeah this makes me nervous but if we make it through this and he stays then we are good. Potential manny Diaz stuff could happen.

Mora’s buyout is $8.5m if he leaves for another job before Dec. 31, 2022. Pay it forward

Yup. I don’t see him jumping tho. I also don’t see Washington wanting him

Washington wouldn’t be willing to pay both lake and moras buyout.. for Jim mora

Much rejoicing on Montlake! Too bad some of the bums on the staff have to finish out the season as interim coaches.

$$$ being tossed around for Defensive Cooridinator:

That's P5$. I have to figure we will be 500k to 650k, for coordinators or am i too high?

Rhett Lashlee?

Anyway...after what Davis said....the only way you take that job is with a written commitment from the school to support the program. We thought UConn had budget concerns...they are using 9 year old uniforms! No amount of recruiting advantage can make up for a broke school.

They seem to be heading the opposite way of UConn and wanting a hot shot young coach. I’m expecting Chesney to be the hire

FIU will be lucky to land Bishop Sycamore’s coach.

And they are now in the worst conference in the history of FBS.
