Official 2017 Coaching Carousel Thread - Zona hires Sumlin

[SerenityBuff]

Can we add to this that it is Wazzu and Mizzou. However, it is not Wazzou.

If Van Malone (SMU defensive coordinator) does not follow Morris to Arky, that would be a nice addition to CU as that 10th assistant coach.

Knowing MacIntyre.......its probably going to be Nate Taye

How did they pass up jeffcoat?

Can't you let a man dream...?

Good call. UTEP wouldn't need to pay the moving fees with Jeffcoat.

Nope......sorry

He'd lock down hometown recruiting.

This is going to be a train wreck of epic proportions.......

I’m actually intrigued if the NFL approach (owner, GM, coach, DPP etc) can work at the college level.

That cements Tennessee as a second-class SEC program.

Another dumpster fire in the making........Pruitt is a goofball

 

[b3buffs]

Are we the fools here? Should we be having Ralphie spend some quality time with our new hires to see if she has an affinity for them?

I would need to see the angles the pictures are taken from in order to answer this.

 

[HotRack]

How soon until we see the rock re-painted? Can't imagine that the kangaroo court down there is happy about Pruitt.

 

[Jeric]

Surprised at the comments about Pruitt, I think Tennessee fans are generally happy about the possibility. Their expectations have been lowering though.

Yeah he seems like a good coach and a good recruiter with experience under some really good head coaches. Always have to worry about coaches that leave saban but they usually perform well and use what they learn from him.

Decent hire, but I fully believe Tennessee fans like this hire because they are talking themselves into liking the hire. Their expectations still wildly outpace reality.

Dana Dimel is going to need a defensive coordinator....

This is Fulmer trying to be the Tennessee Barry Alvarez

 

[Dark Bohner]

The irony is Schiano > Pruitt, and possibly by a lot.

 

[BuffWarHogFrog]

Walk in their shoes and you’ll figure it out.

Personally, I could wear a pair of $2M shoes for a few years...

Just watched Willie Taggart's presser at FSU. You could tell he was very conflicted and sad about leaving Oregon, but in the end Florida is home for him. Sounds like he grew up a FSU fan and his family is in the Tampa area. Also, I can see why he recruits so damn well. He just that "it" factor. He is going to crush it at FSU.

I hate when good people take jobs at ****ty schools.

I think people are overstating Leavitt's chances at HC. I'm sure he wants it and I'm sure UO has thought about it but look at their culture and history. If you think about it their whole football team is an example of great marketing. Explosive, innovative offense, great facilities, and awesome uniforms - that is what Oregon football is. Phil Knight is a marketing genius and I just don't see them hiring a defensive coach to run the program. They aren't looking for the next great coach at UO, they are looking for the next great offensive mind. I actually think if Taggert had left earlier they would have gone all-in on Scott Frost just because of this.

BTW - I find it ironic that Scott Frost is such a genious offensive innovator in that he played quarterback for Nebraska in 1997 under Osborne.

Aren't you sure you are not mistaking Crouch for Jammal Lord under Frank Solich? Husker fans were complaining that their own kids could predict what was coming next.

LOLLLLL.... sure.

They also go to South Carolina after the Bama game. Brutal first five games.

Their fans are going to be calling for his head less than halfway through the season. That’s a terrible schedule, yikes.
