Minnesota hiring Nick Monroe

[GoSU96]

Between Long and Babers they will find a solid replacement as position coach. The recruiting element needs to be considered.

Been buried in budgets all day and first thing I see is this.

Yuck

Two openings

Get one who can hammer NJ and Philly, and one who can hammer Florida / Georgia

Shamarko?

Man I wish Drum had any interest in coaching. He’s great with athletes and hs kids.

Diabate?

 

[Trueblue25]

Diabate?

There ya go.

I'm not a recruiting wonk but I don't understand the "rock star" comments about his recruiting. Being a rock star recruiter for our program is sort of like being the best soldier in -Troop. Finding diamonds and coaching them up huge loss, recruiting svengali ...dont see it.

Underrated line. Well played, sir.

 

[OrangePA]

The B1G is the devil.

Hope this is not final and we are able to retain Nick.

I don't see any signs that Nick worked with Joe, went to college with him, etc. Maybe they stayed at the same hotel on vacation once...

He's gone.

It is home.

He could not say no.

It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

It’s home, a promotion and probably more immediate-term security.

Sorry to see the Swag leave. Sounds like a great opportunity.
However, by no means is the sky falling. Good recruiter yup. Good secondary coach, yup. I was disappointed a few of his better secondary guys ended up in the portal at the end of the season, though, but maybe for a different reason.
We lost our two coordinators the same day, and many thought the world was imploding. Arguably we faired just as good if not better. Losing a position coach and recruiter is tough, but it provides an opportunity for the program to get some fresh energy and to get better. No position coach should be viewed as indespensbile.
Clemson also lost both coordinators at the same time in 2021. Hell they even lost their AD that same week too. They lost a few commits along the way. Last I checked they won the ACC title again winning 11 games this year.
We’ll be fine. Good luck coach.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

He wanted the DC job and didn’t get it.

I mean we made a good hire so it’s ok but he’s still a loss.

 

[PhatOrange]

Agree. If I had to guess, we are looking for a coach with strong ties to Florida, who has been coaching safeties for a while.

Someone like this.

Derrick Gibson - Football Coach - Florida Atlantic University Athletics

Meet Coach Gibson At Florida Atlantic Joined the Owls in February of 2022 Worked with an a seasoned group, with a nice blend of game experience Following

If we are going to hire an alum, I would think about Rodney Wells. He has been doing a hell of a job at Dr Phillips in Orlando. No experience as a college coach but he has a ton of contacts in Florida.

We have to hire someone the HS coaches in Florida know and respect.

I would LOVE a hire like Gibson.

 

[UBSU]

It will be interesting to see what defense Swag and his Minny co-defensive coordinator decide on. May be hard to cherry-pick our defense when we have been playing a 3-3-5 for several years now.

 

[Bulldog04]

He could have been named DC and enrolled in the "Jelly of the Month" Club, and Minnesota would still have outbid us.

You had a beer with him last night and he told you that? Dude you have connections!

How can we get Syracuse in the Big Ten

I remember when the Rutgers rumors were going on that they were headed to the Big Ten, Mike Francesa of WFAN always said his sources were telling him the Big Ten wanted Syracuse instead. So that was a long time ago but was real interesting at the time. I always thought that culturally and geographically we were a better fit for the Big Ten rather than the southern-based ACC. But academically we didn’t have some kind of accreditation or designation that Big Ten schools must have. Someone in education or academia will know what that accreditation or designation is. I think it has something to do with research done at the schools.

Any chance they kick Rutgers out and take us instead?

You serious Clark?

 

[Entropic]

By the way, one of the weirdest nicknames ever.

Thats why i always stuck with Swag. Its the daddy part that makes it uncomfortable.

AAU. SU had AAU membership and I believe Nancy let it lapse

 

[Dinkyspond]

Haha. Trust me, I had some ranting and raving and my wife had no idea what was happening as she was heading out to grab a coffee.

my wife always knows that when I'm down in the dumps, 80% of the time it has something to do with Syracuse. 10% job related, 10% family related. I'll be bitching and moaning about something inconsequential and she'll say "Syracuse lost today I'm assuming?"

Syracuse University pulls out of research consortium because new criteria doesn't match school's strengths

The Chronicle of Higher Education reported Monday that SU pulled out of the AAU before it was kicked out.

Yeah, saying “good job daddy” is a bit weird……
