Re: Season over, how many P5 teams are knocking our doors for Coordinators this year?

End of season, we used to worry about which coach was taking interviews, getting offers, going to NFL, going to be the next HC somewhere, etc. Now we could only wish that some of our staff was being chased or being offered opportunities.

I think there is a problem with your staff when you don't have schools chasing them at end of season. Dabo and Eason are probably the only 2 coaches that could demand equal opportunities at other P5 schools.

If you don't even have G5 schools looking for your staff and they could maybe get D2 jobs for half or third of the money then there is an issue! They probably shouldn't be on the staff of an emerging or close to a Blue Blood school staff. If we had one or 2 on the staff that could be expected but when the entire staff is made up of D2 caliber coaches, how can we expect to compete at top level?

Well, nobody is knocking down any doors for our coordinators but to be honest the most recent ones to depart have fallen flat on their face. J Scott fired. Elliot has the #123 offense in the country (beyond pathetic) and won 3 games. He will be terminated in 1-2 more years. Which brings us to coach V. Won't debate that he was likely better than Wes this year but his OU team was absolutely gashed in a 48-0 record setting loss to Texas and then Fla State lit him up for another 590 yards. And this comes on the heels of the #8 recruiting class in the country.
Just saying it really helps to be in the right place at the right time. Top talent and an ACC schedule makes for some great results. Put everyone on a level playing field and things can change. BV will get one more year and if it's 6-7 again he will be canned as well.
Morris seemed to be an impact coach who turned it around both at CU and then followed it at Houston. Rich Rod was the best turnaround artist that I have seen and he did it at Tulane, Clemson, and WVU before the wheels came off. Wish we had some cutting edge thinkers like these guys along the lines of a Hugh Freeze, Mike Leach, Steve Sark, and Lane Kiffin. And I mean as coordinators when they were on the rise prior to HC gigs. Have not given up on Wes but we need some new ideas on offense.
