2025 End Of Season Coaching Changes

[sufan59]

yeah, every time we returned a kick from inside the 5 instead of calling a fair catch and not taking it at the 25.


Brutal.


Also not knowing how to handle punt returns.

The blocked kicks, almost blocked punts etc.

I honestly thought the returning of kicks instead of the fair catches especially at the end was to see if we could generate any explosive plays due to the anemic offense.

First hire should be Steve Addazio as the OL coach and Assistant Head Coach.

Seems like Fran is blaming the ST coach for his own failures. Not a good look.

We’re gonna see Fran blaming a lot of people for his own failures this week. Let’s hope he gets a lot more right this time.

Offensive Line was a liability for sure. A change was needed there and our friends from Purdue tried to warn us.

He was good at Purdue! Had great seasons! Look at Purdue’s records since he and the previous staffs have left last 4 years! Williams will be fine. Williams not the problem!

Yes. Bring in the Dazzler. Always had good line play on his teams.

 

[OrangeFreek]

ERob is not going anywhere.. get used to it!

 

[CuseBlood44]

Were special teams a fireable offense this season?

Punt blocking was terrible towards end of season. Stonehouse was getting drilled

 

[MadNY3]

Nepotism ? or maybe E. Rob takes a demotion ? in my opinion he should have been the 1st one to go and #2 Dale Williams.. both have failed miserably.

I have a feeling we are going to be pumped by additions on the defensive coaching staff. And super curious who comes in at OL and whether that person has a connection to Brown, Nixon or our most recent WR coach…

Although the unit was bad, Robert wright seemed like a good dude and guy I’d want to play for. Wishing him the best

Why let the STC go when that was by far our best unit this year? And it was light years better than 2024.

 

[rangers1994]

I would assume Don Brown will be brought on full time now.

 

[cusefan88]

Making moves fast. Looking forward to seeing who they get.

Best of luck to these assistants. Hope they find new gigs quickly.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

He was part of the disaster not sure if that helps much.

The two onsides alone should save the STC.

I guess in the aftermath of the Notre Dame game they were?

I also agree with whomever posted that we had a LOT of really stooopid returns,
where a fair catch was the far better option.

OL was the most glaring to me - far too often we had dudes blocking air, while defenders crashed into the backfield unimpeded.

And of course - DC.

Now, maybe he can keep ERob - IF he demotes him to either co-DC (but NOT playcalling),
or simply just DL or DE's or whatever.

Technically, Lustig is available.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

Good start. Need to get rid of or demote at least a couple more.

Do u think more is coming? I feel like this is it sadly

He took responsibility the whole season? Didn’t put the blame on anyone else but himself. So yea he’s obviously going to
Fire who he needs to.

My gut tells me yes.

 

[batfactory]

just give it time

Fran said a lot of things over the past 2 months. I think most people have stopped paying attention to what the says. Firing nearly half his staff, which is where we’re gonna end up I suspect, is letting his actions tells the world that a lot of the failure were on them.

I think Erob will stay, but he won’t be calling plays on defense. Hopefully the offensive line improves now that Dale is gone. The DBs relied too much on grabbing this year, so that coaching needs to get better. I’m also hoping for more staff changes—especially on the defensive line and maybe adding more defensive coaches overall. I want better tight end play next season too. It feels like they just stopped using their biggest and most reliable guy in the middle of the field.

 

[Blanko97]

Erob will get fired after singing day

So you want to keep the bad coaches, then? Yes or no? He’s taken the blame for the whole season, and now he’s fixing it by bringing in the right coaches. I don’t really know what to tell you, man.
