Message: [QUOTE="swish7, post: 4809727, member: 486"] Looking at it another way, here is someone's ranking of the [URL='https://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/articles/ranking_the_new_college_football_coaching_hires_for_2023_090223/s1__38284554#slide_15']top 20 hires from 2022[/URL], and the teams records this year and last. Its interesting to read through the comments the writer made about each hire, and now look at the team's w/l records. There are some patterns to the good hires. 1 - [B]Matt Rhule[/B], Nebraska: 2023 (5-3), 2022 (4-8) 2 - [B]Luke Fickell[/B], Wisconsin: 2023 (5-3), 2022 (7-6) 3 - [B]Deion Sanders[/B], Colorado: 2023 (4-4), 2022 (1-11) 4 - Hugh Freeze, Auburn: 2023 (4-4), 2022 (5-7) 5 - [B]Jeff Brohm[/B], Louisville: 2023 (7-1), 2022 (7-5) 6 - [B]Jamey Chadwell[/B], Liberty: 2023 (8-0), 2022 (8-2) 7 - Tom Herman, Florida Atlantic: 2023 (4-4), 2022 (5-7) 8 - Brent Key, Georgia Tech: 2023 (4-4), 2022 (5-7) 9 - Kevin Wilson, [U]Tulsa[/U]: 2023 (3-5), 2022 (5-7) 10 - Biran Newberry, Navy: 2023 (3-4), 2022 (4-8) 11 - Kenni Burns, [U]Kent State[/U]: 2023 (1-7), 2022 (5-7) 12 - [B]GJ Kinne[/B], Texas State: 2023 (5-3), 2022 (4-8) 13 - Kenny Dilingham, ASU: 2023 (2-6), 2022 (3-9) 14 - Ryan Walters, [U]Purdue[/U]: 2023 (2-6), 2022 (8-6) 15 - [B]Alex Golesh[/B], South Florida: 2023 (4-4), 2022 (1-11) 16 - Lance Taylor, Western Michigan: 2023 (3-6), 2022 (5-7) 17 - Eric Morris, [U]North Texas[/U]: 2023 (3-5), 2022 (7-7) 18 - [B]Tim Beck[/B], Coastal Carolina: 2023 (5-3), 2022 (9-4) 19 - Scott Satterfield, [U]Cincy[/U]: 2023 (2-6), 2022 (9-3) 20 - Troy Taylor, [U]Stanford[/U]: 2023 (2-6), 2022 (3-10) In bold face are some teams that made some [B]good hires[/B]. And there are more that made good hires. A bunch of good ones there, but I'll pick South Florida. This is what they had to say about that hire. [LIST] [*]Golesh has gained attention for orchestrating Tennessee's offense this season, and it netted him the South Florida head coaching gig. In his three seasons as Josh Heupel's offensive coordinator (one season at UCF; two at Tennessee), he has overseen electric offenses that have given fits to defenses. While the talent at South Florida won't be what he had in Knoxville or Orlando, USF is still capable of getting guys who can play in Golesh's offenses. He is a stand-up coach who has an outstanding work ethic and demands the same of everyone around him. This has the be the potential to be a home-run hire. [/LIST] Some made some potentially [U]bad hires[/U]. Purdue jumps out to me. Here are the comments they made about this hrie: [LIST] [*]This is a very interesting hire. For one, it follows trends of going young (Walter is 36 years old) and hiring a defensive-minded coach. That second point is very interesting since Purdue is known for their high-flying passing attacks, and this hire isn't what they normally do. Walters isn't just a defensive coach, but one who keeps things close to the vest and plans on being the guy making all the defensive calls. So what will that mean for the Boilermakers' offense? Well, Walters is saying all the right things -- he used words like "explosive" and "creative" to describe how the offense will continue to run. [/LIST] If this all goes down and we are on the market soon, where do we want to be a year from now, record wise? What [I][U][B]type[/B][/U][/I] of hire do we want to make? [/QUOTE]
