TE coach Reno Ferri fired / hired by Akron

[MSOrange]

If Lynch is still on staff it's a joke.

I thought we had a running back that did pretty well this year.

I thought we had a running back that did pretty well this year.

That really had nothing to do with Lynch, Tucker had the talent, Adams got buried, and so did Howard, and Lutz who was 2nd team shouldn't have played at all.

 

[qdawgg]

Does this mean we can hire a 3rd WR coach?

 

[cali315phan]

I would have kept Ferri and fired Lynch. But what do I know, I've never buried a football program underneath a dumpster.

 

[climberdan]

I knew Coach Ferri as he was my sons recruiting contact. Stand up guy and I hope he lands in a better place. Sad day --- learned the news on the way home from Syracuse.

Tucker to Akron in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

 

[cusefan88]

Moorhead is building a good staff.

 

[orangenauburn]

So that didn't take him long

 

[MSOrange]

If you aren't going to get a Power 5 job, not a bad place to land with a new but experienced coach in Moorhead. Should at least get Ferri a couple years of security.

More likely Benson to Akron.

What is an "ASSOSCIATE HEAD COACH"?

I do not remember 9 TD by our TE in 2020.

A quick look shows Hackett with 2 and Benson with 2.

A little tidbit on Reno. He never saw the firing coming and he was offered 15 minutes later by Moorehead.

Makes me wonder how far back Dino knew he was going to be bringing in the UVA tandem. He had to pick some coaches to drop on the O side to make room, and (1) Lynch appears to be welded to DFB; (2) Schmidt is too valuable to lose. Someone had to go, and it was Ferri and Samuel.

Think this makes sense. At least with Ferri, who had a good reputation as a recruiter, was respected by his players and did a pretty good job developing his players.

I think Samuel was going to get replaced regardless. The WR unit was a disaster from the start of the season. Taj quitting early just threw gas on a fire.

Gilbert's idea to implement flexible routes for the receivers was a complete disaster that made a bad situation even worse.

I'm thinking about $50-75K.

What? Wrong.

So, Samuel replaced for performance, Ferri dropped to make room for an "extra" coach on the O side, and Reynolds dropped to make room for a full time ST coordinator. Tough choices, perhaps, but what we needed IMO. The last dream/wish is that the new WR coach have serious recruiting chops. If so, home freaking run.

 

[PAcuse]

What? Wrong.

Should be 2019 Hackett had 6 and Benson had 3
