Elko hired Jay Bateman — a guy he’s known for years. Could still be someone else. I’ve gotten used to curve balls in our hiring processes. Key is on vacation

They improved this season, fwiw We’re the top line in this comparison (worse) https://collegefootballdata.com/sp/trends @L41k18 the numbers are interesting—but references and knowing people is more important. Relying on Key to know who is a good coach. Looks like we’re in the market...

Four man front. Looks primarily like a 4-2-5, like us. Manny hired Patke from Texas State as DC three days ago. Boy, the tea leaves look like Santucci today. https://www.dukechronicle.com/article/2023/04/duke-football-defensive-coordinator-tyler-santucci-mike-elko-kevin-johns-spring-practice

Then we’d have announced him as a DC hire instead of as an assistant hire

This was so Miami (Incomplete pass, so the loss didn’t matter) NC State, how did you lose?

Manny is a defensive coach, and Santucci isn’t going to A&M, so that looks like a good bet. I’d think it’s someone who knows Simpson.

Paywall $$ , but worth a read if you are a subscriber https://theathletic.com/5165372/2023/12/29/conference-usa-g5-realignment-survival/

That seems like the most likely option.

You missed the joke

There are still players in the portal—some went in yesterday. That doesn’t mean that there are matches for GT right now. It’s late in the cycle

I don’t think Buster is an exception to the rule. I think all the offensive coaches were put together at the same time, and there were differences in paperwork and other factors leading to different start dates There’s an official hire date and then there’s the date that you agree to take the...

You don’t usually hire assistants before you hire a coordinator. That would be a disincentive for a DC. They want some say in their assistants. It’s more of a sign that the defensive coaching staff has been figured out. It’s possible that it’s the way you described it, but it would be really...

Buffalo is not a strong team but I think he’ll do well

Just my interpretation of the article Key sees his team every day. He hasn’t been shy about making a move. We interviewed a lot of outside candidates before landing on Key. Maybe we do the same with Sherrer. This has been really quiet. 🤐 There’s nothing in the local paper about interviews...

I think players get until either January 3rd or a week(?) after their bowl game. I don’t think we’ll get a lot of NY6 players, though

There was an article in the AJC after Sherrer took over. He talked about how his responsibilities and workload changed, and how hard it was on his family. It made me wonder if he wants to be a full time DC.

Slightly more than Coleman and Tillman. Maybe the same. He wasn’t in charge until he took over DC duties. Even though he had an inflated title, there’s no reason to inflate the authority he had to begin the season. Whether or not Sherrer is the DC next year, it’s clear the defense is getting...

Guess he’ll take them independent, and the fans will regret it for decades

What do you think a Co-DC does?
