other than Clemson and a couple outliers like foster, it appears the going acc rate for coordinators is between $500k - $650k.

Agreed. I noted that later on.

The only other person in the world to attempt this migration was Bud Poliquin. Let's hope a second try is the charm.

Dino grew up in San Diego rooting for Don Coryell's SDS teams.

This would be a tremendous hire.

Was Dino and Long together at UCLA?

The whole source thing I take it is Long's agent? Nobody in San Diego even knew or reported on it until after the Thamel tweet.

Dino was at Arizona, coaching WRs and RBs when Bingo Long was DC at UCLA.

Hopefully this comes about and we have ourselves one hell of a catch for DC.

I wonder if Long just wants to enjoy his last days coaching with his goomba Dino and will teach the way of D to an assistant on the hill so when he retires the wreaking ball D continues!

No, I don't think you understand this scheme at all.

A major tenant of the defense is that it is easier to recruit speed than size. The defense is built on speed. You don't need 300 pound freaks who run 4.8 40s and bench press 600 pounds to run it.

It is far easier to find athletic, undersized but relatively fast DL than traditional ones. If we can find a Chris Slayton, we would definitely take him. But you don't need those types of players to be successful running this scheme.

Exactly.

WVU's Johnny Dingle and Scooter Berry made their 3-3-5 work very well.

Ah, just a fact-finding tour.
Nothing to see here.
Right.

Booooooo!!

So what are the chances this even happens? I mean some of our insiders even suggested a while back we had a DC in the bag, and just were waiting on the appropriate time to announce things.

So is there smoke to this fire?

He could sell his modest 2,200 square foot house in San Diego for $1.7M, buy a 6,000 square foot house in CNY and still have money to spare.

I've actually considered buying a place in Syracuse as a rental property even though I live in the mountain time zone because it looks like you can get a pretty good place at a good value.

So all of this was a big nothing burger

Open that checkbook and pay the man.

 

[qdawgg]

I’m going to feel really used if this was just a way for old Rocky to get a bigger pay day or leverage his position. Especially after refreshing this page every 5 seconds for half the day.

 

[rrlbees]

Open that checkbook and pay the man.

might have to talk to the orange club.

Several stories on the web say he is making $2M.

Here's one:

Clemson football assistant coaches Jeff Scott, Tony Elliott to make $1 million in 2019

Clemson's Board of Trustees approved raises for the football assistants Friday morning.
