Football Assistant Roles?

[Alum1620]

I think he will probably take a lot of Toledo guys with him and especially I would think it would be a lot of support staff members. That staff has been around each other for a long time and when Candle became head coach the former coach Matt Campbell took a lot of guys with him from basically every level of their staff

GM posting is back up and closes tomorrow

 

[Chin Diesel]

Two new postings:

• Director of recruiting
• special assistant to the head coach

Heard there is a staffer at Michigan who may be available for that position.

There are rumors linking Gasser with a GM job at Michigan state

I wonder who Candle hires as the replacement as the job posting came back yesterday as the rumors grew and ended today

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Was any paperwork signed between him and UConn?

Jeezus jumped up Christmas...having coaching staff leave after 4 years to avoid a rebuild is one thing, but having new staff leave after 1 week during the rebuild reeks of a vicious smack to the face that even Krampusschlap would say is brutal. I was hoping the news of this from earlier this week was wrong.

He left for a B10 offer and all of the assistant known to not follow him have P4 jobs so it is tough but it was something that was tough to stop and I doubt Candle feels betrayed

This is the way college football (and basketball) works. Coaches move constantly and he probably got a substantial raise to move.

Just bad timing, this is a year with massive staff turnover across the country so transitions are going to be choppy and less straightforward. You have to also avoid P4 landmines who are also building their staff as well while taking advantage of instability.

We had this under Mora too where people left to NFL or P4 roles before they even started here but in the end it is going to be hard to stop it when these guys have connections to the new coaches at these jobs. At least if people are leaving they are going to places that are above us in the college football landscape and he took the same position at a B10 school there was no chance we would be able to compete at this time and place

 

[Alum1620]

Toledo has announced some assistant hires like o-line and QB coach (the roles both of Candle’s co-OC’s did) among other so it might give you a good idea of who might be following

The assistant coach and football assistant/analyst position coach posting now end the day of Toledo’s bowl game

 

[LBird33]

I’m sitting on an offer “ not to come near the football facility “. But have to wait to accept after the Toledo game.
