Mel Tucker is Available for DC

[RUTGERS95]

I wish Greg would hire me for it. I'd come cheaper but I run my defense, not his and he doesn't get any say on me choosing who, what, when to run

^^^^^is what any competent DC would think and say, therein lies the problem with the anticipated response

 

[RUTGERS95]

Wish you were right but this is not a do or die season for The Grifter and he knows it. Not one ounce of humility or accountability. “Keep Choppin” is pathetic mantra that died almost 20 years ago. The AD’s hands are tied.

And just as worrisome, she’s saying we have a revenue problem, not a costs problem. They are one in the same and she’s spinning bc she knows Grifter football is a spending black hole she is powerless to fix.

you catch a lot of flak but you are correct here for the most part
Greg isn't as secure as the board is being led to believe.

AD Zinn isn’t powerless to fix football. She has full backing from the President. She has the power.

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Zinn is in a position where she has to provide resources for someone who has a low ceiling for success. The last 2 seasons have graphically illustrated that a lack of resources is not really the issue.

Damm shame they finally got an AD who knows what they’re doing but she’s not allowed to properly do her job.

Sure she can. But there is a big price to pay.
Also, some of the biggest donors are huge supporters of the current HC, and that is a conundrum.

Not week 1 I hope

That would be epic. Could you imagine what this board would be like?

Greg is gone without a bowl next year IMO. Granted I'm not paying it, but I don't see the buyout as being prohibitive at that point. New prez/AD is not a combo that leads to a lot of coaching job security unless you're killing it, and Greg ain't at the moment.

Now on the one hand, sure, that's not a great situation for a potential DC from the outside looking in. The flip side: if you do well (and as pointed out elsewhere in this thread, "well" is a low bar given where the defense is at the moment), you've got a pretty good shot at one of: 1) saving GS's, and by extension your, job; 2) being retained by the next HC, or 3) possibly even being that next HC. Of course, GS won't sell it that way, but could help make the job more appealing to the right candidate.

Think they should offer Corey Hetherman 10 billion dollars for the DC/HC in waiting job. It would be worth it.

Jim Schwartz not returning to Browns. Perhaps that is what GS was waiting for...

Ola Adams reposted this- he ain't going anywhere:

There is a much better chance of bringing Jim Schwartz in to be the Head Coach, and Schiano dropping down to be the DC . . .

Look, it's not a sexy option but Robb Smith is still out there

He will probably be picked up by someone before we have a DC . . .

For $10,000,000,000 we can get somebody better.

Really?
