Deland McCullough - RB Coach (2022-2024)

[irish4ever]

Regardless of the outcome of the playoffs, the ND assistant coaches need to be rewarded with some nice monetary compensation!!!

This is a bad gig but I get him wanting to move on.

If he really wants to be a head coach, it’s probably now or never.

 

[IrishSpartan]

I think they go with the OC there

Yikes just hope we don’t lose anyone because of it

Right. He's never been a coordinator to this point and he's not getting that opportunity at ND either.

Saw he's making $725k a year at ND so it would not be a money thing. Deland has to get his career moving now if that's what he wants.

These guys average a tenure of about 3-4 years. This is year three for Deland at Notre Dame.

He's 52 years old and has never been an offensive coordinator. He might not be content just being an RB coach, and that's fine because that's ultimately what you would want from a guy on your staff. Personal goals, ambition.

Wouldn't want to be the program that wants to stifle assistant coaches and never let them leave. That's generally not what the profession is about and as both a head coach and program you don't want that to be the administrative motto. It's not the Mafia.

Frank Wilson is getting 1 million a year and is the highest paid RB coach give him a raise or pay bump 1.2 million.

That probably puts him behind only Denbrock and Golden on the staff in terms of salary. Wilson is from New Orleans and is on his second stint at LSU. He's never left the south. Is this realistic or are we assuming that everyone out there is going to make a lateral move for $200k?

They could double James Montgomery's salary that he's making at Boise State and be coming out way ahead, not to mention JM was coaching Jeanty the last two years and coached Jordan Mims at Fresno State prior to that. He was also recruiting coordinator at Sacramento State and they subsequently won conference championships in 2019, 2021 and 2022.

Or Freeman just takes Fickell's guy at Wisconsin because...why not. Seems to be a pattern.

IMO the Head Coach is absolutely indispensable, assistants are not.

Some assistants are better than others, but it is the price of running a successful program.

Having assistants move on to head coaching gigs is a good thing. It means you are doing something right, and creating a coaching tree, which all the great ones have.

No matter the outcome, we shall never forget the OG root in the MF coaching tree, Colonel Gerald Porker.

How many "good" gigs is a position coach going to get tho?

Agree 100% - and with the success the Irish have had and the core group that's here now, it shouldn't be hard to find a another RB coach WANTING to go to ND and take over... it would suck to see him go but.......

 

[JamIrish]

I thought Ohio already hired their coordinator as HC, the guy that was interim for their bowl game

Yes, they did.

 

[Islandboi]

Yes, they did.

Ok. I know I wasn't going crazy. Lol

SIAP: Seems like Deland's son Deland McCullough II is on the ND football staff

Deland McCullough II, a football analyst with a focus on high school relations, will also be on the trail this week. He is going to hit the Detroit area.

Ref: Focused on the Orange Bowl, Notre Dame staff continues to be all-in when it comes to recruiting

Welp

 

[irishff1014]

Welp

Good for him. Sucks for us

 

[Irishdawg]

Good for him. Sucks for us

Yep, well deserved and will be missed. Next coach up

 

[Dale]

Damn. Honestly every year after Year 1 felt like icing on the cake, was overqualified as a CFB RBs Coach. NDs RB room is literally better than Las Vegas’ currently.

 

[CANONIZEFATHERSORIN]

Shit

 

[NDFAN2008]

Yikes

 

[IrishSpartan]

Feel like I have been waiting for this for years

 

[NDFAN2008]

Do we reach out to Alford

 

[Old Man Mike]

this can't be good .............

 

[Dale]

Unironically, Mike Hart is available

 

[NDpendent]

We knew it was only a matter of time on this promotion, but damn would have thought he would have held out for a better backfield
