2018 Coaching Changes thread

[Drew4UTk]

there was beyond doubt a MOU/MOA signed today... but... there is rumor there was a CONTRACT demonstrating intent in open terms offered by Haslam and signed by GS as much as two weeks ago- locking down intent... in contract.. 

i don't know how these things work... but that, if true, was a contract, not just an agreement.  that is the one in real question. 

there is also reporting right now that Currie has been fired.

FWIW, CFN, the old Mothership, recommends these 5 guys for Arizona State's consideration.

Kevin Sumlin: He didn’t fit at Texas A&M, but ASU might be the right spot for a great guy, high-octane offensive coach.

Charlie Strong: Maybe, the idea is to defense to combat the rest of the Pac-12 offenses – and what’s coming at UCLA.

Mike Norvell: The Memphis head man is going to be part of the coaching carousel, and he certainly knows ASU as the former offensive coordinator.

Jeff Tedford: What he did in one year at Fresno State is nothing short of amazing. He certainly knows the Pac-12, and he proved he certainly knows how to coach.

Jim Bob Cooter: If AD Ray Anderson really likes the NFL style, the guy who’s making the Detroit offense go is soon going to be a big name.

Heard from a few other people they've also heard rumblings about this behind the scenes. Eh, I don't think Pep is ready to be a head cfb coach of a P5 team.

I'd be absolutely shocked if Hamilton was seriously considered. I'd actually be for it, because I want Jedd Fisch back as full-time OC to be honest. He's on his way out at UCLA with Kelly being hired. I'd gladly dump Hamilton and Drevno in exchange for Jedd Fisch.

I am NOT buying the holier than thou crap UT a-holes are selling in regards to not wanting Schiano. They don't want him because he's not a big-time name. They ain't getting a big-time name. He was 100% the best they could've DREAMED of doing. They will get nothing now. Who wants to coach that mess?

Schiano is a good coach. He knows defense and he's committed to running the football and he knows how to build a program. What he did at Rutgers wasn't easy. He built that program from scratch and put that program on the map. Without him they don't ever dream of joining the B1G.

I'm actually glad that he's not going to Tennessee. I don't think Chris Ash can coach. Like at all. And I don't think he's going to be there much longer. I really think Schiano goes back to Rutgers in the next 2-3 years.

NO!Clay Travis fanned the flames that Schiano was involved in the scandel.Schiano left Penn St 5-6 yrs before Mike McCreary stepped on campus.Where does Greg Schiano go to restore his rep?Clay Travis is a slime ball in a sea of pus.That asshole might have to start looking over his shoulder

Clay Travis might be the biggest f'n idiot in sports media...and that's saying something because that field is 98% populated with air heads and morons. That hillbilly know nothing makes Skip Bayless look like a genius.

good read. the hit job the Tennessee morons put on Schiano was despicable.

Jim Bob Cooter has a great name, perfect for an Appalachian school like Tennessee. For that reason alone, I hope it's him. 

[Riffraft]

Our athletic director is stupid. Firing TG was beyond stupid. I'm not happy about this at all.

Most of the fans here in Phoenix that I know are not happy about it either. 

[Drew4UTk]

if you had said "talking head looking for attention in his miserable existence" taking a hit out on Schiano that would have been one thing.... but you blame the UT base for being incited by someone who ought to have kept his damn mouth shut, which is altogether different.  

again and for the last time:  it was handled amateurishly.  this is why PR's 'leak', strategically... to avoid matters like this.  the entire thing has been botched, and blown up to the point it can't be contained.  it is beyond ridiculous.   meanwhile, some dumb shit who spotted an opportunity and fanned the flames is basking in what he sought- attention.  and a bunch of people who've been misinformed that GS had anything to do with PSU's terrible circumstance whatsoever feel justified and self-righteous in their behavior.

In our business,  we have what are called LOIs (letter of intent), at times we use a memo of understanding.   In our world, they do have financial consequences when a party walks away before core services begin.   I will be interested to learn about this situation.   We might see something like party A owes party B  X% of expected value,  or some fixed sum, based on expected costs of undertaking the services at the outset.  In the high dollar world of college coaching, I wouldn't be surprised if UT owes Schiano a year's pay.

[Mdot21]

Iowa State's Matt Campbell turned Tennessee's overtures towards him down per Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.

Yeah, they are going to have a tough time finding a coach I think.

[Drew4UTk]

if there was no contract, and just a LoI or MoA/MoU, he'll have to prove damages to get a penny... add to that there is a three day right to rescind in tennessee... it all hinges on if there was in fact a contract offered by haslam two weeks ago.    

[OrangeAfroMan]

What did the AD think was going to happen?  

He plays it close to the vest, teasing things like 'the fans will be happy', going to the Bahamas, making everyone think it's a done deal, trip to Tampa with no news of the outcome, etc....stringing you guys along.

Then it's Greg Schiano.  No offense to him, but when you're pretending to have Gruden in your pocket, yes, Schiano is going to upset people.  Really upset them.  And if it wasn't some BS about Penn State and it wasn't Schiano, it'd be some BS about something else about whatever other non-Gruden coach it'd be.

Sad.

In our industry we use Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU).  It is signed by both parties, and it is absolutely a binding agreement.  I'm curious where this goes with Schiano.
