🏈 The Coaching Carousel : UT promotes Kelsey Pope to WR coach

[64Tide]

Leaking roof defense for OU. Roof will be paid DC as but Veneables will be de facto DC.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Seems like an odd hire, but a bit of a blow to Kirby depending on what he does. Promote Muschamp or Schumann? Maybe try and grab Tosh out of Napier's lap (he wants back in CFB and there will be a bidding war for him)?

Lanning has a lot of potential, but man that's a big job for a young 1st time HC. Dude must have a shit ton of self-confidence.

That one surprises me a little on first thought due to assuming Oregon would cash out the bank to hire a big name. Given UGAs defense success the first 12 games this year, he needs to strike while the iron is hot. And… another head coach from
The CNS tree!

Then there’s this..

This whole Dan Lanning (UGA DC) to Oregon as head coach really is odd. Not only in how it was broadcast as a done deal then everyone said not so fast, but just in how he would be hired this quickly. Oregon is not much from going back to being the team with the flashy uniforms who goes 6-6 to 8-4 most of the time.

Yeah I don’t really get it. They are behind the 8 ball a little because so many big names have been taken off the board, but still. Not sure how excited I'd be if I was a Duck fan, but maybe it'll work out. He'll definitely put in the work, should recruit really well, and at least has seen how to run a championship program in 2 different spots.

At face value that looks like a good hire. Then you have to consider he's taking over for an offensive minded coach and he'll have to recruit to his advantage/expertise. It's Duke which makes me think this will be short lived.

Looks like Thad is headed to Norman.

[rick4bama]

So is Kelly heading back to Oregon?

So is Kelly heading back to Oregon?

Doubtful. More than likely it's still gonna be Dan Lanning.

So I guess USC controls the PAC now for sure.

Have a feeling USC is going to become the Miami Hurricanes of the late 80's and early 90's, but without the national titles.

I can see that. Winning the PAC every year, making the playoffs because of it, and never getting past the first round.

Yep. And I do think a program like Utah can be a thorn in their side at least.

What the heck. Has Saban broken College Football? Seeing people leave dream jobs where successful coaches stayed until retirement is very odd to this old timer.
