Official D coordinator search thread (DJ Eliot hired?)
- Thread starter slider
- Start date
So Cal Minny Wake and CU are left?
I'm impressed at how locked down the search is. I mean, not even a peep.
Still wish they had sent a list to Adam.
Conclusion: They are going poaching.

Per FootballScoop:
Wake Forest: Multiple sources tell FootballScoop Arkansas defensive coordinator Robb Smith is expected to become the new defensive coordinator at Wake Forest although we have not heard that the deal is complete at this time. Smith has served as defensive coordinator at Arkansas the past three seasons. He spent the 2013 season with the Tampa Bay Bucs and Greg Schiano and was at Rutgers from 2009-2012.

Why would a DC leave a contender in the SEC for a doormat in the ACC unless he was being pushed out the door?
I am assuming he is a fall guy for some bad second half collapses to close out the season... but "contender in the SEC?"
I'd think this was a gentle pushout, ala Kent Baer in 2014. Arkansas' D was horrrrrrible this year.

I mean, it's the greatest conference evar - everyone's a contender. By the way, Duff, should we have any interest in that 3rd string Auburn RB who is transferring?
Not really, way too injury-prone.
Point taken, I went back and looked, they did not do as well as I had thought. My bad.

So the Wake job is off the board, but Arky is now on.
FWIW, I think Bielema was forced to do some housecleaning after completely collapsing against Mizzou and Va Tech. I would guess he enters 2017 very much on the hot seat, so that job may not be that desirable.
The VT meltdown was pretty epic. If #80 could hold on to the ball though.....

Adkins 2.0? What are we waiting for?!
And Wisconsin plays in a NY's 6 game. I wonder if he has any regrets?
I would think he would.

He could challenge for most talented guy to not get on the field!!
A big part of what's going on here is that Bielema, a former DC, has decided to switch to a 3-4. Very similar to when MacIntyre did it, had Baer move on, and brought Leavitt in.
Arkansas is now a direct competitor to CU for a 3-4 DC.

Yup. The AD was locked down with mfjl hire. Impressive and a little annoying
AFCA Convention is Sunday thru Wednesday.
It's a safe assumption that CU will be having meetings and has interview set up in Nashville this week.

Next week starts recruiting visits again. We can certainly put Chidera, Baer and Toyoma on the road to cover the gaps, but it would be much better to get one of the full-time guys on board immediately. At the least, we want any OVs coming in on the 13th to be able to meet the new coach(es).

Diaco and Bielema spent time on the same staff at Iowa for a year. Will be interesting, I'm sure they're in contact at the very least.
They may just end up promoting Paul Rhoads tho.

Arguably it locked down after the foodcart disaster.
Makes sense why they were after Javier Edwards....
Pages 20-24; what the **** did I just read?
