Coaching Changes Daily: Does USC have HR available? Staff changes could come at WV, UConn has DeRuyter on radar

>>4. One of the coaches on UConn's radar is Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter, who might not be in the mix for the USC job but should garner plenty of interest in the next few weeks.

USC is casting a wide net in its search led by Parker Executive. I'm told the Huskies are willing to spend, too -- maybe not USC money, but the $1.8 to $2 million range.<<

Obvious typo w/ first USC mention.

For the "who" crowd:

Not convinced it's not an agent float but...

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

That's not a bad name.

Honestly I'm hoping this is over in 2 weeks.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Just based on the names we've heard:

Happy with: Lembo, Narduzzi, Herman (my personal #1 choice), Clawson, DeRuyter, Hudspeth

Content with: Ambrose, Campbell

Pitchforks to Warde's office: Weist, Don Brown, Mangini, Mazzone, and everyone else we've heard.

If I had to wager, the hire doesn't come from this list. I left off the nonsense ones like Gruden, Nutt, Mullen, etc. who have no chance of happening.

 

[Lewconn]

Jimmy, I couldn’t agree more. I basically have the same list for the Happy & Content, except it might be too early to write off Mullen yet… let’s see how that one plays out…

 

[tduconn]

I don't think DeYurter's success on the west coast can be a plus for UConn. He may be the most intelligent football mind around, but he is also surrounded by a wealth of talent from which to choose after PAC, BIG, and Big 12 make there preferences known.

The talent pool in NE isn't nearly as good, and after BIG and ACC make their preferences known it is even less. Add that to being an unknown to HS coaches in this region.

May be a great FB mind........for the west coast institutions. The fact that USC may not even give him an interview is a little concerning.

 

[metsfan2323]

I think DeRuyter surpasses every name we have heard to date. The guy has dominated the Mountain West which is considered our level.

This would generate a ton of BUZZ for UCONN.

We are not in the same market for a coach as USC. The next coach there is probably going to come from Peterson, Franklin, and Del Rio.

 

[huskymedic]

Why so? - There are dozens and dozens of quality coaches who won't get an interview @ USC. It's not like he's been a coach there before. USC is shooting higher.

Scratch Petersen...

Boise State's Chris Petersen has withdrawn from USC coaching search after mutual interest.

I wonder if Franklin is the guy and this is more like a KC Keeler type of withdrawal?

 

[huskymedic]

Franklin is strong - I also wonder about Steve Sarksian.

Package deal

USC is prepared to make Orgeron the highest paid assistant and an associate head coach. He knew he lost the head job when he lost to UCLA.

ArashMarkaziDec 01, 10:10pm via Web
Orgeron is one of the best DL coaches and recruiting coordinators in the country and knows USC and L.A. He's not being "forced" on a coach.

As far as I know, Ed Orgeron and Steve Sarkisian share the same LA-based agent.

 

[B1GEast]

honestly, I really don't care, cause I believe that Warde will not make the same mistake that Hathaway made.

 

[ZooCougar]

This is why they call it a "national" search. Good to hear a fresh name.

Agree with all of this.

 

[huskymedic]

That he knows of...

JFowlerCBS12:36pm via Web
There's been no contact between UConn and Bowling Green's Dave Clawson, which sort of surprised me. Thought they might kick tires there

I agree with everything you said, minus maybe Ambrose belonging in the pitchfork column. It's amazing how many people here forget how many people wanted him out of here.

 

[Fishy]

Absolutely.

Ambrose is solidly on my pitchfork column.

Don't want him anywhere near this job.

 

[noeynox]

The UConn rivals site is reporting that a source close to Lembo, says that while he would listen to UConn, Lembo believes has done enough to jump right into B1g. Fwiw.

I think it would be a great hire.

Source, A previously unscheduled 2pm meeting has been called for the Washington football team.

Sark to USC.

edit add:
schadjoe2:07pm via Twitter for iPhone
Steve Sarkisian has accepted the USC head coaching position

schadjoe2:08pm via Twitter for iPhone
Don't be surprised if Chris Petersen and Washington share mutual interest

 

[junglehusky]

Different sport... but Ollie being an LA guy hasn't hurt us. If we go after a west coast guy for FB, he can hire assistants with backgrounds in the Northeast / Southeast / Ohio valley areas.

 

[Nostical]

If Sarkasian gets USC job it will point Warde in a different direction for UConn job.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Lembo does nothing for me, I think his record is rather pedestrian. Former HC at Elon - give me a break.

 

[ktuck911]

If Sarkasian gets USC job it will point Warde in a different direction for UConn job.

How so?

Names I'm hearing #Washington will consider to replace Sark: Tim DeRuyter; DC Justin Wilcox and Jim Mora.

DeRuyter will have better offers then UConn
