20 hours ago20 hr Moderator No. Seems like expectations are that Chris Hampton gets promoted, and a new position coach is then needed. That seems to keep things tidy. We will see if any underlings are prompted to follow.
19 hours ago19 hr No. Theoretically, the DC is Dan Lanning, so I’m not too worried about this.I’ll definitely miss his recruiting prowess.
18 hours ago18 hr Moderator No. Guess Hampton becomes the new DC. He's done a great job with the DB group so it's the next logical step.Now DL needs a dynamite defensive line coach to come in.
17 hours ago17 hr Moderator No. Hats off to Tosh, By Gosh!Will went close to his alma mater home; Tosh is back at his alma mater in Berkeley.Danno worked for Saint Nick. No coach went through more assistant-to-head-coach hires than Nick Saban.I believe in Danno and his hiring prowess.

Dan Mullen, Brian Kelly, and Boise State's Spencer Danielson.He may have been Little Game James when it came to defeating ranked opponents, but Franklin won many football games.I think PSU AD Pat Kraft is on thin ice, even though Penn State has a very good ice hockey team. 😁

This search is starting to resemble the 2017 Tennessee debacle, without the whole protest that got a job taken away. Oddly enough that protest of Schiano was connected to his time at Penn State. Tennessee ended up hiring the worst head coach in their history, Jeremy Pruitt.

There seems to be the possibility they have 0 early signings tomorrow. Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by AnotherOD

Brian Hartline is the new head coach at USF.The whole DeBoer thing just doesn't make sense to me. I know Alabama fans are absolutely insane, but DeBoer is doing about as well as anyone can , especially when following a legend. They've been spoiled, but I can tell you that no program is immune to having bad stretches. Texas, Michigan, Notre Dame, USC, LSU, Miami, Tennessee, and even Georgia have gone through decade plus long stretches of not being title contenders. Florida is in the midst of fifteen years.DeBoer is a great coach. If Alabama doesn't lock him down, or the spoiled fans drive him out. I'll laugh so loud, I might get a noise complaint. FSU has already given me an early Christmas gift, by keeping Norvell.What other big play can they get? Take Dabo from Clemson. I think Clemson might welcome that. They aren't getting Ryan Day or Kirby Smart. Both Texas programs just signed their coaches to long term contracts. Cignetti just got a huge extension. Both the Tulane, and North Texas coaches are already hired at new places, same for James Madison. That leaves Virginia, and five loss Duke. There isn't much left. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by GatOrlando
