Apparently there is a buyout of $200 grand for the Baer contract. I imagine there is a waiver in place.

No way Larussa takes that job if he was in good position with HCMM. Just can't see it. But if HCMM was prepared to "softly" push those 2 out, I can not see how he doesn't give Neinas the boot as well. And you have to believe that Jeffcoat's role is in danger either directly via HCMM or later with the new DC who will surely want his own staff.
Orgeron would be AWESOME even if we could only keep him a few years.

He's going from a position coach to a coordinator, seems like a step up in the title of his job at least. I can't see him leaving unless
1. He was fired
2. He is taking on more responsibilities at a new school, albeit a smaller school

If you say so, I don't really know much beyond HC, OC, DC and assistant position coaches. Coordinator and Special teams doesn't exactly shout to me D1 coordinator.

LaRussa may have been a decent recruiter but his DB's sucked.

I won't even get greedy and hope for both Jeffcoat and Neinas. Either one works for me!
I'm very interested to see who MM goes after. Would love to see a splash hire surprise like Gary Anderson and Oregon State albeit coordinator level of course.

He was kinda marginalized on the staff too. He shared DB's with Clark the first year, then Mac moved him to DE's in his 2nd. He wasn't really given much ownership of a position.

beware the habu
I don't imagine the runnin' reb fans are jumping for joy.
Actually seems like a decent staff for them.
LaRussa didn't coach the secondary this year, he was the DE coach. Our corners didn't suck, but our safeties did when Tedric went down

My bad. He's still listed as the DB coach on the cubuffs.com website. (Figures)
Whoever coached the DB's this year should be fired. Twice.
MacIntyre should be fired?
You can only ask the corners to stay in coverage for so long, at some point the line needs to put pressure on the QB. We were obliterated by injuries at the safety position to, that hurt. A lot.
Exactly. Our front 7 didn't help in this area.
I am pretty sure Mac has been looking for replacements for a while now. At least for Baer. Maybe LaRussa was a surprise, but I bet Mac either has his DC already squared away, or pretty close to it. You don't wait till you know for sure the other guy has a job to start looking.

I thought the safeties played well, particularly when they were healthy. The cornerbacks were atrocious. If MacIntyre coached the cornerbacks this year, he needs to hire a real coach for that position for 2015. Would not complain if Clark was the only defensive coach that was back in 2015.
This might be the strangest assesment of our d I've read. I see it the opposite. Our corners are the only pac-12 worthy unit on the D. They covered up a lot of ****tyness in the front end of the D.
The corners had zero help from the line. There are very, very few secondaries who can be good in coverage when they have no pass rush. You can have the greatest coverage in the world but if a QB gets 5 seconds every play something is going to break down in the secondary.
Did Gary Anderson take his DC to OSU? They had the #4 ranked Defense in the country at Wisconsin (albeit playing against the offensively challenged Big 10 every week [minus Ohio State]). Could be a decent hire if he wasn't taken to Oregon State.
His DC is staying in Madison.
The OC at Utah State took over as head coach when Anderson left and he hired Todd Orlando (former UCONN) who has done a really good job there in '13 and '14. That's a guy I'd look at.
But there's a long list and finding a guy with perhaps more experience in our recruiting footprint would be ideal.

Just noticed that former Buff Cedric Cormier is the UNLV WR coach.
Dislike that he´s bringing up Hagan as a possible replacement for LaRussa
