Two years is a pretty short leash. Or is it?
Perhaps someone with knowledge about typical contracts can comment.

Typical for coordinators. Most other assistants are on one year deals.

Thanks. I thought they all had longer deals. Almost like gambling to leave a good place to go somewhere with problems and a new Head Coach. Takes confidence but without it they wouldn't succeed anywhere!

So, what type of defense and what kind of blocking are we going to see?

I am also interested in tackling vs chasing.

LOL. The defensive equivalent of blocking versus yelling "look out!"

Can’t post all of them but looks like he was beloved at Pitt

Love the endorsements from these guys. It tells me we made him a solid offer and are committed to following through on that with the new staff.

Maybe he brings a few guys with him.

Pryce Tracy (Passing Game/Quarterbacks) is going with Mora to CSU.

Also going to CSU...Dalton Hilliard, Kenny McClendon, Jackson Michell, Trey Mora, Jagger Pagano, Rante Jones, Christian Pace and probably Siriki Diabate but Candle trying to keep him at UConn..

Special Teams Coordinator Doug Schearer just got hired for same position at VA TECH.

Colorado State/Mora announcing staff additions (UConn related Offense):

[Bandito2025]

I wouldn’t be shocked is Hilliard is part of the CSU crowd

 

[Kolumbo]

It seems like Coach Candle is taking care of business with his hires

I hope the PAC 12 is dominated by programs outside the Centennial state

Colorado State/Mora announcing staff additions (UConn related Offense):

These bios remind me of Rutgers taking ownership of all our NBA players through their coaches having coached them.

Can someone update this thread so it is easier to find?

For some reason, this thread is not refreshing to the top when someone posts. I didn’t think we had a thread going for assistant coaches.

I found it interesting too. Maybe he will get shifted.
