Coaching Carousel

[Huntr]

Sacrificial lamb. Their QB got injured and they were doomed because of it.

Their defense has been horrid, as well. Can't get off the field on 3rd down, got torched by USC and Oregon.

Too bad, lol

When you play USC and somehow USC is the more physical team ..... you got problems.

Jake Dickert agrees to new Wake Forest contract, rebuffing coaching carousel interest

The new long-term deal boosts staff and roster salary pools while shutting down outside interest from open jobs like Florida State as the No. 13 Demon Deacons push for an ACC title

This is such a dumb trend.

Yeah I'm sure that'll go well.

This all seems very unserious.

Baylor is an unserious program. Everything about it is janky and 2nd rate. And their RG3 hero worship is nauseating.

It seems ridiculous considering some of the good football minds from Texas who are out there coaching in the G5 that would probably look at Baylor.

I'm coupling this with NC State hiring Phillip Rivers. Every P4 job that opens is going to hire a former QB? At least Maryland gets Frank Reich I guess.

 

[MeanGreenBeans]

Yeah it's a weird situation at Baylor. They're somehow condescending and arrogant yet have a serious inferiority/little brother complex.

Is hiring a former QB to be your coach/GM the new wildcat offense?

Rivers official at NC St

I assume it's at least somewhat about creating buzz and raising money. And yes I'm sure Rivers and RGIII know something about football. But it's pretty insulting to the actual coaches who've been grinding their way up the ranks and learning the craft of coaching, which is not the same as playing.

Anyway can't wait til we hire Brady Quinn to be our next coach...

100% agreed on both counts.

I think the Deion Sanders-Colorado proved it. Generate some hype and dollars, get people locked in for the short term, results are optional. That's the direction this is all headed. CU, NC State, Baylor have little to lose at this point. They're not serious programs. The blue bloods can't afford to do things like this.

There are guys out there who have worked hard and lived very meager lives while doing so at the start who will be denied these opportunities. It's a shame, but these universities sign off of this stuff. The Freemans, Cignettis and Chesneys are out there.

At least rivers has actually coached somewhere before. What has RG3 done?

Credit to him for taking $3.25 as a salary

The first experiment in just put it all in NIL proactively. Most HCs only do the salary/NIL thing when as a final straw before firing

It also makes it easier for them to fire him if it doesn't work out in a year or two. No big buyout.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Is there any significance to the choice of $3.25?

Well, he has something like 10 kids. So maybe he wants 32 1/2. Or maybe 325 Solomon style or Genghis Khan.
