What type of bag did McNulty secure for 11 months on the job? Wouldn’t be surprised if he just retired or did the analyst gig either.

He probably was as shocked as anyone he was offered a OC job, had to take it

I would not be surprised to see him back on the staff next year. Too many connections. Rees apparently liked him, he coached Stuckey one year with the Cardinals, and he played with Golden at Penn State. Plus, the NCAA may allow analysts to coach during practices next year. If that's the case, he's pretty useful given he has coached QBs, WRs, and TEs.

Something funny I noticed looking these guys up. Golden played TE, but ended up coaching defense. McNulty played Safety, but ended up coaching offense. I know that's not uncommon, but I find it funny that former teammates could be back on the same team, but both switching sides.

Tommy just sent him there to fuck with Phil for a season.

So Bobby Petrino as OC and DJ Durkin as DC for TAMU.

Zero shame whatsoever. I truly hope that Notre Dame NEVER becomes like this for as long as I draw breath on this Earth.

You mean Second Chances? Yes a good Catholic University should only hire based on prima-facial moral and upstanding resumes.

People forget he spent ten years coaching in the League as an assistant before he went to Stanford. Then while at Stanford, his name came up every so often in the NFL coaching carousel rumor mill each year. His father coached in the League for 20+ years with multiple teams.

NFL teams could do, and have done, a lot worse than David Shaw. His Stanford program started to fall off before Covid and he's getting out now while it is going to be even harder for Stanford to win in college football. An NFL job seems like the next logical step. I think he wouldn't have a great deal of trouble earning the respect of a locker room. He can't do any worse than Urban Meyer did.

The only thing that ever bothered me about David Shaw was Stanford beating ND five times in seven years, which was purely competitive more than it was emotional. ND fans used to really go after the guy on Twitter and it was above and beyond sour grapes and sore loser stuff. Stanford is one of the few ND rivals I can actually respect since the 40 year decision and academic excellence message has been drilled into my head for four decades as an ND Fan.

It is completely logical why NFL teams would have an interest in interviewing him.

Shaw seems like his floor is Lovie Smith, who was respected enough to be given a third chance just last year. He’d command the respect of an NFL locker room, but I’m not certain his offenses would be all that great.

Depends who he hires. I assume it would be Pep Hamilton, who was just Lovie's OC with the Texans. LOL

Lovie and Cully before him were only hired because the Texans were intent on tanking, both overachieved and both were fired after 1 season each. Tokenism by the NFL at its finest

Interesting takes.

Cully's only season landed the third pick. Lovie's only season got the second pick, and to his credit, he knew he was getting fired and coached his ass off to win that last game which is nothing if not hilarious. Maybe they did overachieve due to the incompetence of the front office.

Is there any chance that Texans GM Nick Caserio is just an ass clown? He was the Director of Player Personnel for the Patriots for years in name only because Belichick ultimately had the final say on the roster. Very possible this is just another apple to fall off of the New England tree that isn't going to amount to having success outside of that organization upon leaving.

He's officially on the hot seat now. Can't mess around forever. He's got the DeShaun Watson picks on top of back to back Top 3 picks too. He could prove to be a complete chooch, and I bet he does.

From Vanderbilt to Harsin to Mike Gundy. Can't blame the guy. I'd want some alone down time too. Jesus.

Watch him join Harbaugh's staff in the NFL. LOL. Embrace the torture.

Owner, GM and their former pastor guy they have running things are all dipshits. Its the worst run team in the league.

The Commanders may have something to say about that, but HOU is up there.

I'd say ineptitude over "tokenism". Cully had been a coach in the NFL for over 20 years. He finally gets a head coaching gig and gets fired after a year. Caserio said Cully was let go because of "philosophical differences over the long-term direction and vision for our program moving forward."

That probably gets vetted during the hiring process one year before right?

So he promotes Lovie Smith, who Cully hired as his DC, and fires him after one year.

I would say Cully was worthy of a hire, Lovie was on his third NFL HC gig and they probably could have done better, but they're showing some serious signs of not knowing what they're doing. This next hire should be very interesting.

His brother’s brisket tells me that is a family that has separated themselves from God. So I doubt he’s baptized

Well Lilcoln was rumored to be an adulterer so maybe Dabo will have to send little bro to Bible camp or something before he can coach just to make sure

Mississippi State is expected to hire Appalachian State offensive coordinator Kevin Barbay as play-caller, a source tells 247Sports.
This one is worth keeping tabs on.

Rumors of Pete Golding going to Ole Miss as DC is picking up steam. I had heard last week that this may be a possibility but then it died down a bit. If so, I wish Pete well. I do think his time at Bama as DC has come and gone.
