The Coaching Change thread

[fenikz]

ASU ran a offense very similar to the Run N' Shoot last year so maybe that gives him a little insight into the system

Luckily USC went to somewhat of a "spread stopping" defense this year. They sacrificed a lot of size and strength at some key positions and got smaller and much faster so that they could deal with Oregon.

Looks like it was a good move with the amount of spread backgrounds coming in.

for the same position which is.. weird but whatever. i think the defense at auburn needed someone new to come in just because. roofs wasnt working.

Hannah Storm makes 1.2 million from ESPN so I know Herstreit makes a lot more from ESPN.



I know this is kind of old but I was watching the Dan Patrick show and the author of the ESPN book said Hannah Storm is making 1.2 million.

Not at all actually. They interviewed Kirby Smart the other day and I'm hearing it's down between Smart and Sumlin

BEARSFAN KNOWS ALL!!! HOW DARE YOU QUESTION HIS AUTHORITAH!

I still contend that Herbie is close to $5M per year.

I said I'd be stunned, doesn't mean it's not possible.

If crappy nondescript Hannah Storm makes $1.2M, then Herbie is making a lot more scratch than she is.

Why? Alabama doesn't have an offense...

[ElectricEye]

If I'm A&M, I'm going with Smart I think. The more I think about it, the less I like Sumlin. He's a good coach obviously, but I really think he got a lot of credit for basically maintaining the groundwork that Art Briles set into motion. The floor you get with Smart might be lower because of his lack of experience, but he's more than likely going to get a job somewhere else and just end up at a big school in a few year. He's got experience in the SEC, something that could well pay dividend right away while A&M transitions) and has a reputation for being a big time recruiter.

And a defensive minded coach, something that seems to be the trend in the SEC.

I disagree, that would be a great hire for Memphis. Of all of the Conference USA teams, Memphis might be the least appealing, and getting a coordinator with the pedigree of McElwain is a pretty nice coup. Their offense is down this year, but his overall resume at Alabama certainly merits an opportunity at a school like Memphis.

[diabsoule]

Randy Shannon will be the new defensive coordinator at Arkansas

[diabsoule]

Memphis TV outlet reporting McElwain accepted job last nite and the backed out later. TCU's Justin Fuente on radar.

[bearsfan_51]

Fuente would be a good hire as well.

Diab, any more word on if any of the Mack Brown retiring/resigning is true?
