Assistant Coaches...

[engie]

As it stands, it looks like the NCAA will add a 10th assistant coach effective pretty soon.

So,
RB - Knox
OL - Hev
WR - Gonzo
TE - Sallach

DL - Baker
CB - Buckley
DC and ilb/olb/or lb? Grantham

We currently have 7 announced assistant coaches. Looks like we need to add at least two, possibly three, and 4 could be a possibility as well if we reverse roles for Peterson and Sallach. I suspect we will be hearing something very soon on this front but don't know where we are headed. It's amazing we closed as well as we did with essentially half of a staff.

LSU just fired Dameyune Craig. Would love to add him somewhere just for his recruiting.

 

[engie]

Agreed. Especially with how the pipeline sets up next year with deep WR/DB classes in LA and AL.

Will be interested to see what happens with Sallach. He's a non-factor in recruiting, and the TE's have not been a position of strength recently.

He was QB coach at Florida State and brought in Jameis Winston. I'd hire him as QB coach here. Everyone knows who the real QB coach is on this team.

Isn't the Jags coach the front runner for our S spot?

 

[tired]

Why do we still have Sallach? Yes man?

Wait! LSU signs 3 WRs, 2 of which we heavily recruited, and the very next day, fires their WR coach?

Stephen Guidry WR 6'4", 190 Hinds CC
Racey McMath WR 6'3", 215 Edna Karr
Mannie Netherly WR 6'2", 183 Crosby, TX

I'd rather have Jabbar Juluke, the NOLA connected RB coach LSU fired. Craig wouldn't be a good fit at MSU. Juluke would have secured McMath, CEH......

 

[CochiseCowbell]

How do you pronounce that? Wait, like Damian?

We just hired Ron English to coach safeties. Good hire.

What's the story with all the firings at LSU. Those coaches can def recruit.

They need coaches who can coach... since they hired a head coach whose only strengths are recruiting and single handedly keeping Red Bull in business.

They hired a new OC and he is bringing in his guys, I'm sure.

On Craig -- according to coachingsearch's data -- we are the only open QB coaching job in FBS right now. But Bama and others have WR openings. Does he want to be a WR coach or a QB coach? That is the question IMO. I know ultimately he wants to be an OC but I'm not sure that door is open at the moment. I know it's kinda foregone that we are hiring Brett Elliot -- but it seems like if that was a done deal or our first option -- we would have no reason to continue to delay the announcement.
