2022 Coaching Carousel Begins…

Losing to Army had a little silver lining. If he ran the table with 5 out of 6, there would have been even more eyes following. Losing to a 1 FBS win program took a little wind out of his sails and dashed COY talk.

Not that I enjoy the outcome since the loss was disappointing but I agree with you.

Mora got fired for going 6 and 6 last job I believe.
Here at UConn goes 6 and 6 and some chatter about being considered for COTY.
INTERESTING STUFF.
Most coaches fired know FB and how to coach. Allot has to do with $$$$, Booster involvement, 4 and 5 star athletes recruited,
and fan involvement.
There are other factors but, being a head coach today is allot like balancing on the head of a pin.
Coach Mora knows how to pull all the strings.
Go Huskies!
 
Need to keep an eye out for DC candidates from these firings that Mora may have a coaching history with. It is pretty clear that Spanos is not coming back as Mora scrapped the Spanos system. The DC is hopefully the only coaching spot that UConn will have to fill in the off season.

Are any of the current D-staff worth the promotion?

Hedgie may not hurt with Charlotte's CUSA > AAC move. Observing a successful bought-recruits high school coach with zero college HC or OC/DC experience may be interesting.

Even the nicknamed Biff's Michigan role as "Jim Harbaugh's right-hand man" appears to have been as a mentor, GM-of-sorts while occasionally filling-in running practices in Harbaugh's absence. Might work well with quality OC, DC, and other assistant hires, or potentially not. Time will tell ...

No idea what UConn's total coaching budget is, but there's no Spartacus way CLT's should be more (if it is).

I would think Mora acting as DC limited his ability to be engaged on offense and special teams. And...defense was definitely the best performing of the three units.

Hopefully he hires a DC who he can trust to make the calls so he can spend more time helping the other units.

So irked by the hiring of Jeff Saturday by the Indianapolis Colts, Gus Bradley turns his back on the NFL and returns to his college coaching roots when he becomes the new defensive coordinator at UConn for his friend Jim Mora.

Would love us to hire Gus Bradley as a DC. We already know Bradley isn’t an nfl HC we don’t know that about Jeff Saturday, an unconventional hire vs hiring a recycled HC why not.

Lane hasn’t left anywhere in good standing. Anywhere.

Made a career of promising big things and then leaving before fulfilling it .

Very selfish coach.

That's true when he left Tennessee. But he has been different since. He was fired from USC. Did well as Alabama OC and was hired at FAU....and left them on good terms for Ole Miss.

I think Kiffin has grown up a bit...and I don't see him leaving Ole Miss for Auburn. I think he is waiting for Saban to retire.

Arizona State​

Watch for Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham to get a good look. ASU may fall into one of the best hires of the cycle. The talented Dillingham seems to be the leader in the clubhouse, but you never know with an administration that got rid of Herm Edwards then retained the AD who hired him (Ray Anderson). Dillingham, 32, is a proven commodity despite his relative youth. His quarterback, Bo Nix, may get a Heisman Trophy invite. Dillingham would be given all kinds of resources to turn around the Sun Devils. In the new Pac-12 (without USC and UCLA , why can't ASU compete for a playoff spot every year?

Los Angeles Rams running backs coach Thomas Brown is said to be interested. Jackson State's Deion Sanders has already taken his name out of the running saying he'd never go "West." <-

Colorado​

Northwestern defensive coordinator Ryan Walters is largely considered the favorite. Walters played safety for the Buffaloes from 2004-08. If he somehow doesn't get the job, there is a long line of worthy contenders. Departed Auburn coach Bryan Harsin is interested, as is former Texas coach Tom Herman, former Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall and Sacramento State coach Troy Taylor. Texas analyst and former TCU coach Gary Patterson is also interested in getting back in somewhere. <-

Good God! cbssports can't even get who Ryan Walters' current employer is! Not even getting basic facts accurate kinda undermines one's credibility

Confirmed...

-> Hill says Poggi accepted the job without asking about salary, and the coach is putting his money where his mouth is regarding what the program needs—Poggi says he will donate around $500,000 of his own money to the football program to help with staff pools and bridge the fundraising gap. (Poggi also did this at the high school level.) <-
