With each passing (or unfortunately canceled) bowl game, potential targets go unannounced, giving the seemingly clear indication that our prospective coaches have been occupied in preparation for higher profile events (Major Bowls and NFL games). The biggest indicator is the tweet here

While the Rittenberg tweets biggest takeaway is the Chud blurb, the secret in plain site is the confirmation of when Mario’s staff will be finalized.

After January 1st.

While the biggest game with coaching ramifications has passed with Oregons bowl game complete, netting Joe Salae’va at DL, Alex Mirabal at OL, Bryan McClendon at WR coach, Joe Maestro at RB and Rod Chance at CB, Canes fans should look to New Years Eve and Day for the following games to find out remaining coaches

Ole Miss/Baylor - Chris Partridge

While the less mentioned Partridge, Chris is the one Mario has mentioned as being his least favorite coach to recruit against. Partridge is also an excellent LB coach, recruiting and developing first round pick Devon Bush from Flanagan High.
Partridge would put an elite recruiter and developer at a position of dire need at Miami.

Penn State/Arkansas - Kendal Briles

The polarizing coach has been mentioned early and often in this offseason coaching carousel and has led, along with Lane Kiffin, another top offense, something he has done at multiple stops, all while learning from amazing minds as his fathers, Art, Major Applewhite and Willie Taggart. Briles is a strong QB developer and recruits well.

Georgia/Michigan - Glenn Schumann

It’s been widely speculated that the remaining half of UGAs DC duo, Glenn Schumann, who was in Alabama as GA and Dir of Player Dev during all of of Mario’s tenure there, could be the choice for DC at UM.

A loss to the other U of M could loose this gem from its post in Athens.

Iowa/Kentucky

A wild card of sorts is John Settle at Kentucky. While only spending one year with former Cane Mark Stoops, Settle had wild success at the most recent running back factory in Wisconsin, grooming the likes of Jonathan Taylor and Melvin Gordon. The other big Canes connection? Settle coached as RB coach during Chudzinski’s lone season in Cleveland and with him in Carolina for 2 years when Chud was OC there. Keep an eye on this one if Maestro is not the name to know.

Others to watch - Rutgers - Sean Gleeson -OC
Buffalo Bills - Ken Dorsey - OC - with Chud on board, and NFL coaches already on the move, this has wheels

Imagine bringing Butch as an analyst. Yes I said it....that would be God like. I doubt it happens though
I have been expecting this for months.

This also lets the Elite and non-Elite players know that there is someone on the staff with an excellent track record of discovering hidden gems rated as three and two stars.
