The 2021-2022 Coaching Carousel

[Big Jim]

Brilliant hire for the Ducks. Guy can recruit, coach, lead, and will likely hire a great staff. He is one of the hottest risers in college football, not a 2nd or 3rd level retread like Kelly or Wilcox.

The Pac-12 is stepping up it’s game this offseason. Kliakoff has got to wearing a big grin.

Very good hire.

Very good hire.

Yep,

Dammit.

Very good hire.

I’m very jealous. It seems like forever ago that CU hired the UGA DC and had energy and recruiting chops. Forever ago.

Nice counterpunch to USC bringing in a great offensive coach as well.

Some risk Lanning sees it as a stepping stone like the last 2 head coaches from the Southeast.
But probably worth that risk.

That’s not a risk.

Defensive Coordinators are seeing their day in the sun finally.

Lanning to UO
Venables to OU
Freeman to ND
Elko to Duke

Four of the elite college DC’s are now all of the sudden Head Coaches. The next gen will have to elevate up.

At least we’ve got Karl Dorrell!

Their last two coaches had short stints and didn’t really elevate them. If Lanning were to do the same, that doesn’t move them forward. But on top of that , Lanning isn’t a proven head coach, who’s head coach was also a DC.

I have never even heard Lanning speak so maybe he’s a no brainer. But on paper I like Wilcox better for all 3 reasons. Former Duck, track record as a Head Coach, and didn’t have Kirby backing him up.

Lanning seems like a future star. And I am sure Oregon has learned their lesson and will give him a monster buy out

Cristobal didn’t elevate Oregon.

Kirby had Saban backing him up…

He absolutely did on the recruiting side. He showed them what a national recruiting effort could yield them.

Sir. I was laughing heartily at the comment to which I was responding.

Twitter says Bama 2015 staff had Lane, Kirby, Tucker, Cristobol, Napier and Lanning.

Lupoi on that staff as well. Hard to imagine a better staff for college football

Sauphia?

Sophia is sooooooo last week.

Very few coaches could hold that together. The egos in those coaching meetings.

Pretty amazing job that Nick Saban has done at Bama.

Yes. I did not say that was a disqualification, just a slight risk. Mel Tucker was the same.
Lots of the best head coaches have succeeded in that same scenario, some though are exposed.

And that's why I'm a big time bama fan now
