Staff Changes - 1/2 AM Update

[Jedi Master Cane]

Good points. I’d be willing to wait for a guy like Fedora, but if we’re just going to get a ******* guy like Coley, then it’s all moot.

Well it can't be someone like Coley. I rebuke that notion.

Would be an epic failure if that's who he settles for THE most important coach on the staff

 

[blackvern]

No thanks on Applewhite, there are better options out there

LIke?

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

LIke?

Graham Harrell or Yost just off the top of my head.

 

[kalinis]

Any reason why the host on the WQAM morning show said both Simpson and Rumph were let go? Can anyone confirm this?

that's not true diaz today in his presser said all d coaches coming back but it also sounds like he is hiring a dc or co/dc with play calling responsibility

 

[blackvern]

I'm hearing Ponce is out as QB coach talked to some coaches and he is not well liked by some major coaches down here.. and Manny doesnt wanna ruffle feathers

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

LIke?

Canada

 

[mackjones]

Can’t afford to wait longer than that. We’re already behind the 8 ball with recruiting.

That's why Diaz has to make the quick and right hires on offense!

 

[bobbydigius]

Lulz at people rationalizing Coley as an OC here. If he is the OC, it’s a wrap on the program.

 

[avicenna75]

The more time passes, I'm less optimisic that it will be Fedora.

 

[PSU Cane]

Seeing some chatter that David Cooney will be bumped up to WR coach.

He probably started that chatter.

I think this is a good thing.

Separate to being a UM homer...why isn't Kenny an option? He did an excellent job with Cam Newton (who has regressed since he left) and a QB coach role here could be perfect.

At this point recruiting is irrelevant. Most of the major fish have made their decisions and only splash hires would likely cause a flip anyways.

So at this point, hold out for the "splash" hire, which in theory should be the best hire, as long as needed. We cannot whiff on the OC hire.

I still think there is too much smoke for it to not be Fedora, but Manny did say something about timing of the announcement being complicated by when coaches are available to be hired, or something to that effect. I would think if it was Fedora (or Applewhite for that matter) that wouldn't be an issue, but I'm probably over-thinking it.

I've heard that Manny is seriously considering Coley.

 

[blackvern]

Graham Harrell or Yost just off the top of my head.

Graham Harell? WHy would you put him over Applewhite? He has minimal experience

 

[MIATL]

Give me

OC - Fedora
OL - Whoever Fedora wants
RB - Seider
QB - Coley
WR - TBD
TE - TBD

The OC will coach a position group. Diaz already said he’s making another hire on D.

 

[hiphopanimal]

If he hires Coley, Manny is a ****** idiot.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

As an OC? His tenure would be over before it begins

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

I like guys on an upward trajectory.

Applewhite's already been fired once as an OC....and had to carry the "CO" title at his next stint. I just don't see anything special in Applewhite

Agree. Just can’t see him thinking this would be a dynamic hire. Coley doesn’t seem like a Manny kind of guy.
