2020 Coaching Carousel

Under the circumstances, Herb Hand would have to be considered a home run, no ?

I'd say so...I like Scott Fuchs too. Either should be a positive.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Hand has been very successful, but he bounces around a lot. I think his longest stay was six years at West Virginia.

I’d prefer Fuchs or someone with a track record of developing good OL players from mid level 3 stars. Lot different when given high 3 and 4 star kids to work with which will not happen at su.

Hands bio. I like that he's worked for some good coaches. Todd Graham, Gus Malzahn (split duties at Tulsa with Malzhan and then hired by Malzahn at Auburn), Tony Franklin (retained at Vandy and brought with to Penn State) and Tom Herman (3 years at Texas.)

Bounced around a bit but these all look like carrot chasing promotions. I haven't really drilled into his track record but I believe a bunch of his lineman at Texas were all-conference.

2001–2006	West Virginia (TE/RC)
2007–2008	Tulsa (co-OC/OL)
2009	Tulsa (AHC/OC/OL)
2010–2012	Vanderbilt (OL)
2013	Vanderbilt (RGC/OL)
2014–2015	Penn State (RGC/OL)
2016–2017	Auburn (OL)
2018–2020	Texas (co-OC/OL)
2021–present	Charlotte (OL)

Elliott signed a 3-year deal. Clemson now has 2 of the 3 top paid assistant coaches.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Seems like a lateral move. Also seems like Maryland is starting to fall apart.

Nah, Mike "Michael" Locksley runs a tight ship.

 

[Whitey23]

Dino give him a call!

I don’t quite understand how a “style of play” suddenly makes an OL coach - particularly one who has demonstrated competence - suddenly incapable of adjusting.

Offensive coordinators bringing in a new scheme like to bring coaches who know it intimately. There are going to be a lot of new plays, new nomenclature for plays, different approaches and expectations in a new scheme.

I think it is helpful if you don’t have to teach all the coaches and all the players.

Do you feel that mattock will be the pick because of his familiarity with the system?

I expect he is the first choice for Dino and Sterlin. Now Mattox is a Texas guy, coaching in Texas. He is doing well for an up and coming program. I am sure we can offer more money but he and his family might want to stay there.

Yup good points.

 

[Grbac]

Do we have anyone coaching Special Teams yet? I figured that would get put on an existing coach.

Probably going to have to wait until a replacement for Cavanaugh is announced. Then they will probably announce who is coaching which units this year.

Hopefully we will hear something from Syracuse this week on the hire. Regular signing day has passed, it has been implied that the change at oline was very well accommodated by Dino which to me suggests there was lead time for Cav here. Gotta believe either a coach has been selected or final discussions are taking place at this point. Though it's possible that a guy like Western Kentucky's Goff coming free might have added one last call before making a decision. Either way I am really looking forward to who they are bringing in to coach. As critical as a decision Dino may make this year.

Would nice to get some word but there is no rush. Spring ball will probably not start until April. Recruiting for 2022 just started. Any portal guys will probably be May or later. DB can take is time to make the pick. It needs to be a home run hire. His last few coaching picks have been good hoping the trend continues.

Last year, spring ball started March 8. With no spring break, and the late return,, ts possible they push it out 1 week. My guess is March 7, or 14th.

I figure with not starting until the 8th that’s three weeks later than normal. Coaches are going to not want to cut short s&c training. DB may also want to see how many potential players could get vaccinated if they choose and the shots are available.

 

[BANYC]

Is there any news on potential O line coaching candidates?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

I guess Minnesota was too cold for Glasscock?

A name that brings a whole other layer to the idea of male fragility.
