Official D coordinator search thread (DJ Eliot hired?)

CSU is playing CU, Alabama and Oregon State next year? Either they're masochists or just stupid. Nothing like heading into conference play at 0-3.
Actually a good way to go about it. They will go 1-3 in the non conference and then all they have to do is win 5 games at the minimum in that garbage division to go to a bowl game.
 
CSU could beat Oregon State next year. 1st game in the new stadium

Signs point to the Beavs improving.

I'm very high on CSU for next season, though. Them beating both OSU and CU to go 3-1 in the non-conference isn't out of the question.

Oregon State is going to be better than most of us think. They remind me a lot of CU in 2015. They are getting their sh!t together. They will beat some teams they shouldn't next year. We could be one of them.

They really want to sell out that stadium for the first game. I'm surprised they didn't kill the Mile High deal just to get CU at the new Hughes to guarantee a sellout.
 
I'm not so sure. Going on nothing but a gut feeling here, but I don't think we'll see an internal promotion.

I suppose the bowl results will have an impact on the final decision, OSU has been known for their offense under Gundy.
 
Does Tumpkin expect to get the position?

Do you think he will stay if he doesn't get it?

Don't know and don't know. But as someone said on here, "you don't play your backup QB because you're afraid he'll transfer if you don't."
 
Here's a write-up on DeRuyter as one of the names in the Ole Miss DC search:

Tim DeRuyter

Former head coach at Fresno State

DeRuyter’s time as a head coach in Fresno was inconsistent—he won two Mountain West titles but went a combined 30-30 overall. His track record as a defensive coordinator, however, is impressive. Before taking over Fresno State in 2012, he was the defensive coordinator at Ohio, Nevada, Air Force and Texas A&M, showing the ability to turn a defense around quickly at all of those stops.
When DeRuyter took over at Ohio in 2002, he jumped them from 99th in total defense to 22nd. He then moved to Nevada, where he orchestrated a jump from 78th in total defense to 48th in just two years. He then took Air Force from 78th to 10th in scoring defense and from 78th to 11th in total defense. In 2010, he jumped A&M from 104th in scoring defense to 21st in one year.

Is there a assistant coaching position in sports that has so many quick turnarounds as D Coordinator?

DeRuyter is only one example, but I feel like there are numerous people who have been discussed with a history of turning D around in one year by more than 90+ spots in total defense. Might just be my filtering bias (those results are what it takes to be considered for the jump from G5 to P5) or Total D being an poor metric.

There can be a lot that plays into that. Maybe the offensive system changed to more ball control. Talent changes a lot (and can mature a lot) from year to year. So, yeah, there are likely a lot of big jumps. But with DeRuyter we have 4 examples. Maybe he's the luckiest guy in coaching with the situations he has walked into, but I think there's enough there to rule out coincidental favorable circumstances as the reason for his success. Dude's a damn good college DC.
