Babers to Arizona OC/QB Coach

[HeaterCuse22]

I'm guessing that's why we gave Nunzio the Assistant Head Coach title this year. I think there were more schools after him than just Buffalo.

Must have been that awesome showing in the bowl game. Honestly some dudes are meant for support roles

Does UB HC get more than $350K?

About double that... 685k in 2022. I'd imagine UB's coach is getting the same or more at Alabama to be a position coach.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Kotelnicki leave his new job at PSU to go back to Buffalo.

he would be the guy I would be chasing

 

[TheHaze315]

Anthony just got a DC job in the NFL, no way he leaves that to coach a MAC program.

That’s the 2021 list.

 

[Chip]

I think that's the wrong Campanile. This was the list from 2021.

I bet Cignetti wishes he had a flux capacitor!

Curt Fitzpatrick is the guy they need. Could be another Lance Liepold from D3 coaching ranks.

Yup was just talking about this last night.

 

[GoSU96]

Dino is getting paid not to work. A lot.

He is going to be hanging with his grand kids.

What a shot in the arm that would be for Upstate football. In any other state this would be completely a no brainer, in New York , who knows.

I doubt we are paying that type of money.

Agree. It wouldnt be used as a stepping stone job. Someone who truly embraces NYS football and will want to do it right.

I have a buddy that's a huge Buffalo booster (they exists) - his preference is the coach at Cortland. I don't know if that means anything beyond just his preference, but that could be where they look.

Buffalo News article specially mentioned our Campinale and his interest in 2021. Could be their mistake…?

 

[DoctorBombay]

Good luck , hope you get it coach Babers , and it goes well . I have no bad feelings towards Coach .

Hard not to like a guy like Dino. Some folks insist on picking at the wound about his time here, but nobody's perfect.
Everything happens for a reason, and if HCFB is the HR hire we all hope he is, then it's all good.

I was told that Curt is not crazy about the D1 coaching ranks. But money often changes people's perspective. He's a heck of a coach.

 

[justgold315]

I'm really surprised he hasn't ended up on a College Football talk show somewhere. He was always a great personality on TV.

I'm guessing he's catching up on some movies to freshen up his material

All I know is that In 2021 Nunzio was only in his third year as a position coach at the college level...at Rutgers.

Maybe, but at 62 in good health, after getting up a couple of weeks with no work to report to people tend to think differently, I speak from personal experience. ( Though my NYS teachers pension was a tad short of 3.5 to 4 million )

 

[All4SU]

Cunning move by Linguist to take the Bama job.

I’m surprised Linguist would want to go so far south. They speak a different language .

Agree wholeheartedly with this. Hard not to be pumped about the direction Syracuse is in. I also want to see the former members of our staff all succeed... as long as they don't end up in a game against SU.

If UB hires Babers or Nunzio (not my personal preference because let's see him and McCord light it up next year), I'll absolutely be rooting for them on Tuesday and Wednesday night MACtion.

Do we know what he's getting paid? Would going to UB be a pay cut?

 

[Cusefan95]

He's been remarkably ghost silent. Lots of people have said he would likely retire, but I don't necessarily see that. He's a career coach who is only 62. I absolutely could see him wanting to get one more chance to end his career on a high note, even if it is at a G5 type opportunity.

I’ve told my family if I hit 62 and you don’t see me actively preparing to retire imminently - please sit me down and have an intervention.

Hopefully Dino has a family that will do the same, with the money he’s made he’d be insane to take another job.

 

[djorange1989]

I hope he ends up either doing TV work or just retires and hangs with his family. I am not trying to slam the guy, but I don’t know, he just didn’t seem to be so motivated once he was extended, maybe he shouldn’t be a head coach, but that’s his call obviously

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Brian Polian was awful at Nevada.

A little younger and Dino probably could kill it at UB. While he might be too old the MAC retread coaches like Solich tend to do well.

 

[rrlbees]

I don’t know what Dino will do, and maybe nothing for a year, but he has received much interest from schools including P5. Not necessarily HC positions.

Depends how long you live...
