Utah's already made an offer with a "significant raise". So it may have to be more than that.
That joke was made a page back....
50's is the new 40's.
A. I don't trust the source of that
B. I doubt HCMM would ever allow that to slip out, not his style to be that loose lipped
C. But it would seem likely that he'd be looking for someone young and energetic.
Then it was a good ****ing joke

A few have mentioned Pendergrast. I think this is a really solid option and he is obviously waiting for his next shot:

Not sure what his recruiting chops are although the DC is less involved in that anyway, but he has had real success as a DC in the Pac, has connections in Texas, AZ, Cali and NFL pedigree too (as a coach not a player).

This in part may come down to how much RG can afford to pay our new DC. Pendigrast is obviously on the market and would be, at least on paper, an example of a sweet hire for us, like a major upgrade over Baer. Baer was already in the Pac and saw his market value drop over time as his Defenses before going to SJSU were not very good.
Pendigrast is seen as a bit of a hot commodity supposedly in the coaching ranks-I presume he turned down some roles last year. His last and only defense at USC was awesome especially in light of where they were before he got there and after just 1 year on the job (and with the scholarship restrictions on top of it...)
But he made $900,000 at USC.

Now someone like him after spending a year out of coaching and possibly having a preference for the Pac may be willing to make less than that, but still that is a healthy salary increase over what Baer was making. Based on everything we have seen from RG, and even the administration when they stepped up the salary to hire RG as well, something tells me if RG and HCMM wanted a guy like that, they would find the money for him.

I have to believe it is going to be used for the new DC especially if they want a big dog or young high flier. I am sure lindgren would be keen to get it but his place seems secure given the vast improvement in our Offense in 2014

I'm sold.
Doubt any of the offensive coaches leave. Walters and Bernardi seem like our two best position coaches. I could see them bringing in a running back coach though. Honestly two coaches is probably a good amount of change when one of them is a D coordinator.
Could see any of the remaining D staff being on notice. Just depends on who the DC is and if they want their own staff. Maybe we do see some change in responsibilities throughout the staff though
I would be surprised if we don´t lose anyone else, especially on the D side of the ball. Even if HCMM has final say, a new DC is going to assert plenty of influence on that side. I would think Jeffcoat has to be on the chopping block as his unit did not fare very well and he has not been very helpful in recruiting.
Of course many of us are hoping that Neinas is gone and replaced by a RB position coach and someone else filling in for Neinas on ST. The other thing that might be interesting on D, is what is the position focus of the DC. Pendergrast for example doesn´t appear to have a strong LB focus in his background. Perhaps we will need a dedicated LB position coach too. This could influence what HCMM does regarding which unit he supports as well.

Can I interest you in a Native American themed white buffalo painting?
Barry Odom is out... looks like he is the new DC at Mizzou
Interesting. Houston had a good D last year, and the one thing we have to offer is being in a P5 conference. I imagine he has Texas ties in recruiting too.
