[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 965343, member: 282"] How much would Tech have to pay Thacker not to coach? [B]That’s not it. Even at $650k salary per year, that’s not it. [/B] Not firing Thacker was it somewhat of a face saving thing for Key or Batt since Thacker was retained? [B]Key has fired people. Demoting Thacker doesn’t save any face for Key or Batt compared to firing Thacker. Keeping Thacker on means “he’s a great coach with a lot of potential, but it’s too early for him to be a P5 DC”. [/B] Is it smart to retain someone on the staff who has been demoted? [B]Even with the right attitude, I think getting demoted will grind at almost anyone. For some people, it’s a bad move—even for most people. I think this means “we believe in him as a coach, and he’ll do a better job than someone that we pull in from outside at this late stage”[/B] Does having Thacker coaching the safeties really help? [B]Probably. Our corners and nickels are getting blocked and having trouble in run defense. It might help for Tillman to give them extra attention, and Thacker played safety—he knows the position. [/B] Was the problem really with Thacker or a group of defensive players who really aren't capable of playing at this level? [B]Likely “BOTH”, plus other factors, too. [/B] Does the new guy get a pay raise? [B]Sherrer isn’t new, but this is a change in role. Probably, but he was being paid as a co-DC, so it’s probably not as big a bump as you might think[/B] I think we will see some defensive coaches moving on after this season. [B]Unless there’s a massive turnaround on defense over the next 7 games, you’ll see something. There are defensive coaches that Key has been a fan of. [/B] [/QUOTE]
