All i can say is that he has been on the wrong end of some of the heated conversations with BK. To me that is a very bad sign.

He's very young. This is his first year as a true coach. I expect significant improvement next year and moving forward.

You're not going to get many head coaching jobs, at least somewhat good ones, if you aren't a coordinator so someone like Alford who seems to aspire to be a head coach may want to help his resume. Elliot is pretty old and has been around so I don't think he is going to get many offers as a head coach and why wouldn't you want to help one of your friends as he is starting out/get a promotion.

What do you define as a small school? Diaco won't go to a small school he would probably only leave to go to a middle of the pack one like Cincinati or Louisville if they came open. Those aren't small schools by any means. They both consistently compete for Big East titles. As was said earlier you're not going to get a BCS competitor at the beginning

I don't think that makes sense to anybody

Most of those conversations have came after an injury and we have not correctly filled that players position on special teams forcing us to take a pointless time out or penalty.

We all know Kelly is a stickler on the details. Booker well get with it and make Kelly happy in the off season.
