Official 2017 Coaching Carousel Thread - Zona hires Sumlin

As co-co-(co)-Coordinator?
OK. So here is my question. Why has the Jeffcoat departure, if actually true, not been announced yet. AC carousel is churning.
Why does it matter? It’s not like mac is sitting around waiting for it to be announced to look at others. This is always the dumbest conversation of the off season.

Who’s better CSU or Boise…
Do you know how to read?
I think the time it has taken to make some hires is a good conversation to have. Hopefully we see some announcements next week.
Yes but this has nothing to do with announcing jeffcoat has been fired, but people constantly bring it up like it matters. If Mac announced jeffcoat was fired a month ago he would still be on the same timeline right now.
Sure, but it plays into a larger issue of everything being so hush hush at Dal Ward though. If they do not hire someone next week, doesn't it start to become a question if change is actually happening?

I agree somewhat, but why does MM and RG make everything so secretive? To save coaches from embarrassment?

Why does everything have to be open to the public? Why do we have to know everything?
How about a balance? Announcing a coach is not coming back is some sort of state secret which needs to be closely guarded?
So if Mac didn’t let any of that info about jeffcoat leak and then announced a new coach in 3 weeks that would be better? I guess I just don’t understand why people think they should be more open. They handle things very professionally and don’t let stupid rumors leak that could mess things up.
Not everything. But staff changes are a big deal, we're talking about professional coaches rather than students whose privacy needs to be better protected, and it's important to be engaged with your fan base if you want us to pay attention.
Really?
You don’t see that it matters to recruiting, to the culture of the football administration, to his ability to recruit, replace and redeploy assistants?
OK.
I guess.
There is a pretty small group of CU fans that really care about the timing though. If he announces a coach being fired a month after it actually happens what is the real difference? Especially with the early signing period now.

You mean like players getting into trouble? No problem with putting that front and center...
Because it matters to the way the business is run, how you operate, how you execute.
What are you even talking about? If you think I am defending jeffcoat being on staff you are completely wrong.
Like I said, if things get announced next week, all is well. But to just ignore information which has already been leaked is not "professional" just because they choose to confirm it a few weeks later.
They are hush hush about most of the player issues too, Falo’s suspension was never disclosed, Irwin’s and Frazier’s were never known to the public. The only ones they go public with are the arrests.
I guess I’m just confused what you are looking for? You just want a confirmation from the school so you are sure he will be gone? Seems like a pretty small thing to get worked up about.
I want the full coaching staff ready to hit the road after the dead period. How it happens does not really matter.
I think the school treats the firing of a coach as a much bigger deal than it needs to be. Announcing a coach will not be back is not some sort of breach of professionalism.
Of course and I completely agree with you and have complained about mac taking too long to get people hired before. I feel like we are arguing to different points.
I know what we are arguing, just saying a quick release on a coach not coming back is hardly unprofessional, especially if the news has been leaked. Announce it and move on.

Has it been leaked?
And there is also nothing wrong with a coach waiting to announce it either but people get worked up about it. I would guess he doesn’t like the way some head coaches deflect blame to other coaches by firing them immediately after the season.
Adam talked about it on 1340 this morning
