All hat no cattle. Can recruit and that's about it. Hope the hire him for sure

GT’s younger options and news on 6 other coaching changes

Good stuff in here. In his podcast yesterday, Godfrey hinted that Addazio might not be a sure thing to return next year. He seems to change his tune in this article but things are definitely on shaky ground.

He is the best recruiter in the country. The calculus would seem to be that whatever other issues he may have will be overcome by the talent he brings in. If he gets the MD job, it will be far tougher getting kids out of the DMV.

How'd that workout elevating Kood Kid to OC because he could recruit.

Sounds like he received some other phone calls...

I wonder if Coach Houston signed off, "Respect my Decision!"

Where did I say it would work out for them? I can understand it. It's the James Franklin plan but with more holes. The only thing I know for sure is that this hire won't help us in getting talent out of that area.

Id hire this guy to run an offense any day of the week. Straight out of Mattydale in the early 80's. I bet he has 3 pairs of roller skates and listens to nothing but George Tgood and Ted Nugent

And a surf board

Locksley is probably the best Maryland can hope for right now.

He is a worse option than their current HC.

Perhaps true, but, we also weren't getting those 5 star kids out of the DMV anyway, apologies to Ed Hendrix. All I know is the guy was a disaster at New Mexico and not just in the wins and losses department. Not sure he will be able to make MD a winner in the B10 east, regardless of talent. Does having Tua and Bama's OL make you an amazing offensive guru? Not sure. Seems that a lot of coaches have been successful working alongside Saban. Is he that good of a teacher, because Locksley has struggled a ton when not simply working as a recruiter.

I love how he conveys it as deserving a coach who is 100% committed to them. Their pay is probably not substantially more than JMU and Charlotte is never getting a coach that is 100% committed to that job. lol

I wouldn't have burned the bridge if I was them. Houston could have come back around in the next week if other (better) offers didn't work out

It will probably hurt PSU and SEC schools who like to recruit there worse than us. If he retains Beatty, then VT and UVA will suffer some.

You're both right. No reason to argue about it further.

Why wouldn’t he return though? Boston College gonna start firing coaches after 7-5 seasons? Lol. It’s Boston College. Historically, 7-5 is close to their ceiling.

What am I missing here? When Addazio took over, BC was a mess. They’re now in back to back bowls. Wtfare they expecting?

Love this quote from the article:

"Currently, Addazio sits with a perfect .500 record at BC at 38-38 overall, and 18-30 in ACC play."

I hope he maintains a perfect .500 record for perpetuity.

Brown will be a junior and if Dillon stays healthy, they could have a good year. A couple of years ago I didnt think they were going to stay D1 in football or basketball.

 

[Xanadu]

I think the one coach we cannot afford to lose is Nick Monroe. He is killing it on the recruiting trail. If Dino left my hope would be that he would be given an interview for the head coach position.

Head coach? With no coordinator experience? PASS

Someone like Dillion who is going to get the ball 30 times a game needs a strong OL to run behind. They graduated a ton of multi year starters, plus lose a ton of the defensive side of the ball. BC should take a pretty big step back. Between them and Louisville to start the preseason in the atlantic basement

I have no clue about Monroe's coaching chops, but this guy's been ok.

What he pays his coordinators probably helps.

I was thinking that since he has been there for 6 years, he had established a good lineman development program on both sides of the ball. Plus they did lose their OC, could be Dazz's last year unless he coaches he butt off.

Swinney was the Assistant HC two years prior and then OC for half the season before taking over. I’m all for giving opportunities to young, unproven coaches but career positional coach with zero origanizational leadership experience is a bit of a stretch.

 

[TheCusian]

They wish Addazzio would just outright suck. His mediocrity makes it hard to fire him
