2023-24 Coaching Carousel

I hope former UB DC Robert Wright is not considered a candidate for the UB job. That would be unfortunate for us. Great for him though……

It’s got to be a huge kick in the balls to have your HC leave for an assistant job. If I were a recruit deciding between a power conference team and a G5 team I would always pick the power conference team. Greater likelihood your head coach will stick around.

Is that actually true?

 

[Frozen]

Is that actually true?

I don’t have stats for it. But I feel like a power conference HC is more likely to stay where he is, as opposed to a G5 coach who is successful. The G5 coach is more likely looking for a bigger job. But the worst is, as a South Alabama or Buffalo player, when your HC leaves to become a coordinator or an assistant elsewhere.

That is true, but I think you need to also factor in who is more likely to be fired. I would think there is a bit more pressure to succeed and maybe a shorter leash at a P5 job than a G5 job.

Any relation to Hedley?

If you're a P5 school, and you're looking to hire a HC, are your boosters going to be happier with a G5 HC as the pick, or a P5 OC/DC as the pick. It's pretty obvious what the choice is.

We'll probably see more of this as the gap grows.

Harrumph!!

Deboer with two insane hires so far.

If by insane you mean terrible then yes.

Linguist is absolutely terrible. UB finished in the top 25 for the first time ever before he was hired. Then he quickly sunk the program back into the 100s. Even when he was a DBs coach at other places he never had great secondaries.

UB dodged a bullet having them take him off their hands. Only problem for them is Mark Alnutt might be the worst AD in the nation and will probably make another awful HC hire.

That's Hedy! Yes, I get the Blazing Saddles reference.

That's Hedley!

He'll always be best known as Syracuse QB coach in my mind.

I know he had a bit of a scandal earlier on, but I thought this guy was going to be to Texas as Nick Saban was to Alabama. Never happened for him for some reason.

Scott Frost to Nebraska syndrome too.

Sometimes it's the guy. Sometimes it's the job.

No. This is Hedy.

 

[Moontan]

The Syracuse connection continues...

We'll see if he eventually makes it to the P4.

Their stadium is only half of The Dome.

I don't think it was radar; I think it was a frequency-jumping algorithm or something for torpedoes that became important for cellular phone service. I think.

Jeff came to Syracuse with Dino. Never made it as a full time assistant though.

Congrats to him!
