2015 College Football Coach Hiring Thread - Page 4

bhlloy · 12-16-2015, 10:14 PM

Pretty incredible fall from grace for Sumlin, given all the major jobs he's supposedly been one of the frontrunners for over the last few years

Part of his offer was, no triple option and we will bring in your OC.

Looks like it should be Kalani Sitake, which will make me ecstatic to see one of my best friends from High School coaching in the D1 ranks and I am moving up to HS LB coach next year for one of the local high schools here.

There are some BYU fans that are hoping that Kyle Whittingham is so tired of Utah's AD that he is going to jump over. I do not see that happening.

Yeah, Word on the street is Whitt told the players to not do anything and it wasn't adhered too.

Whitt is alumni as well, but I don't see him coming and taking a pay cut.

Given that he's ended up a rather obvious "second choice" with how all this has played out, I'm not sure I completely grasp how someone would ever feel content or wanted.

No slight to him intended, I'm just saying that I don't know if I'd be willing to take the job at this point.

So the way it plays out with BYU...you have to be active, you have to be temple worthy and you have to go through an interview with one of the church general authorities.

Word has it Kalani has been our AD's #1 but he was forced by the BoT and the GAs to move Ken to the #1 spot, he fit a more mission of the church / Bronco Mendenhall mold.

Tom looks at Kalani as that passionate recruiter that is solid at his X's and O's that will take us to where we need by getting the talent we need to get there.

Kalani knows how it has played out. My last message to him was, can't wait for the welcome home BBQ and his response was me too!

That's cool, I know there's additional steps/dynamics to the process there. But I'm looking at it from the outside thinking "okay, so as long as the AD is here then I'm in good shape ... but if the BoT ever takes a hand again then ... "

MacroGuru · 12-20-2015, 10:53 AM

And it was announced yesterday prior to the bowl, that Kalani Sitake is the new head coach of BYU.

I know I keep harping here, but it's been 11 years since HC changes at BYU.

Looks like Kalani has convinced someone to finally coach in College. Get him away from the ranch and his comfortable lifestyle.

Ty Detmer is going to be the OC at BYU.

Brown, 29, was making $275,000 at Georgia, but a co-coordinator role could mean a big boost in salary as well as responsibility.

Good for him.

Yeah. Not a surprise, as it has been rumored from the beginning that he was leaving. Seems he and Kirby have some animosity from the recruiting trail. Thomas Brown was a surprise, though. He had already committed to stay. That co-coordinator title did it. More money, and chance for Richt to train him as an OC was too big to pass up (plus the money bump from the title).

I imagine he will be successful.

Just wait till the NFL coaching hiring/firing gets into full swing. Any bets on how many job openings Mora's agent floats his name for?

MrBug708 · 12-24-2015, 10:57 PM

Miami already floated his. I think if he's offered, he's gone

LSU got a good one in Dave Aranda.

Eaglesfan27 · 01-06-2016, 07:49 AM

Although, I really wasn't happy with Clay Helton being fired, he has done a good job hiring his staff. In the last few days, he has hired:

OL Coach Neil Callaway from WKU who used to coach at Alabama back at the day and learned under Bear Bryant. WKU was among the nation's leaders in allowing fewest negative plays.

Passing Game Coordinator (and either RB or QB coach) Tyson Helton who helped develop WKU's QB into a top producer this year.

DC Clancy Pendergrast who produced top Pac-12 Defenses despite playing with very limited numbers (and no DB coach because Kiffin wanted his drinking buddy on staff and insisted on 2 OL coaches.)

Excited about these hires.

MrBug708 · 01-06-2016, 08:24 AM

Where does it say Clancy was hired?

Logan · 01-06-2016, 09:41 AM

Seems FootballScoop is reporting that Oregon is looking at Pendergast at DC too.

He reportedly has signed a contract with USC and it will be officially announced today. Oregon might end up getting Wilcox.

Sumlin "steals" Noel Mazzone from UCLA

HomerSimpson98 · 01-07-2016, 10:11 AM

yeah UCLA fans give me your honest opinion on this guy. The dickweeds on our message boards arent too pleased. But Im getting to the point where I cant even login to that shit anymore. No one talks real football

MrBug708 · 01-07-2016, 12:19 PM

Solid coach but stubborn to no end with some of his play calling. Needs a dual threat QB to be effective. Terrible recruiter and talent evaluator. A few plays into a game you know whether or not you have good Mazzone or bad Mazzone.

HomerSimpson98 · 01-07-2016, 01:32 PM

WHolly shit. We just fired his younger brother then.

What about tempo? Does he play basketball on grass? Or does he pick and choose?

Give me something to be excited about.

In 2014 at least UCLA was operating pretty quickly, ranking 23rd in the country in pace of play (a few spots above the Aggies).

As far as being excited, I dunno. I'm not sure there's many offensive coordinators out there that don't have critics. I watched probably ~4-5 UCLA games per season, and while I wasn't blown away by their offense under Mazzone, they were pretty effective overall. Here's how they ranked in his time there:

2012 - PPG: 31st, FEI: 33rd, S&P: 42nd
2013 - PPG: 20th, FEI: 11th, S&P: 20th
2014 - PPG: 36th, FEI: 23rd, S&P: 8th
2015 - PPG: 45th, FEI: 39th, S&P: 23rd

He had Brett Hundley at QB for the first three seasons and true frosh Josh Rosen this past season. How impressive you find those numbers probably depends on how highly you rated their talent.

MrBug708 · 01-07-2016, 04:24 PM

It wasn't the statistical performance that was a problem, it was inserting a square peg into a round hole. The ASU game was a good example this year. They are a heavy blitz defense. So maybe some quick throws like slants would be helpful. Nope, zone read with a QB who doesn't keep the ball and we lost because everything was rushed. There were also the endless run, run, pass series that we went three and out.rush fir 4 yards. Rush for -1 yards, swing pass for 3. Punt.

No adjustments no matter the opponent
No mixing it up depending on the opponent

JonInMiddleGA · 01-07-2016, 05:16 PM

Reports say UGA will name current Bama DB coach Mel Tucker as their DC.

That would be the former Bears & Jaguars DC, for those keeping score at home. The guy whose last 3 NFL squads ranked 30th in yards allowed.

JonInMiddleGA · 01-08-2016, 03:11 PM

I guess this was actually from Wednesday but to be honest I only just saw it today.

Vols and defensive coordinator John Jancek part ways | Times Free Press

Logan · 01-09-2016, 08:37 PM

Replacing him with Shoop from PSU was a great move.

Atocep · 01-13-2016, 10:59 AM

Looks like Casteel is going to UTEP to be the DC.

Jake Spavital is looking to either get closer to home or for a OC position with full control and won't end up at WVU.

Joe Wickline is likely headed to WVU to be Holgorsen's OC. Matt Caponi is leaving Arizona to coach safeties at WVU as well.

The Wickline hire is interesting. He won't be calling plays at WVU. He's very likely brought in to help with line play/running game and to give Holgorsen eyes in the box to relay info to him on the field. Something that would have been useful this past season.

Eaglesfan27 · 02-05-2016, 12:35 PM

Pat Haden announced he is retiring effective at the end of June. He will stay on as a consultant for a year to guide coliseum renovation project.
