2018 Coaching Changes thread

Well, this is probably just as much (OK, maybe not quite...) as a pipe dream as Gruden to Tennessee, but I'll go.

Sack Drevno and Jay. You make Frey OC/TE and bring Les in as AHC/OL/Run game coordinator and get a real RB coach.

Anyway..

I'm thinking Les could end up at Tennessee if they can't get Brohm, or at Purdue if Tennessee can get Brohm. I'd love to have Les in the B1G.

insider over at Rivals/MgoBlog who has been pretty much right on with everything says Drevno is very likely to take another job this off-season. He had another job lined up last year and it fell through so Harbaugh kept him. Very high probability Drev is gone.

We all know he's never going to fire his son. Maybe his son gets an NFL job with his uncle though? Jay is a top recruiter, not much older than all the kids he recruits. Seemed to do a decent job with TE's before they switched him to RB's. Don't really think there is anything you can "coach" a RB on. Running the ball is mostly instinct and talent. Think really the only thing you can teach RB's is pass protection. Funny how once he goes to RB coach none of them know how to block at all. Worst collection of pass pro RB's I think I've ever seen in my lfie.

My dream scenario for RB coach would be Mike Hart. I think that guy would KILL it on the recruiting trail and at finding RB's and coaching them up. One of the all-time great RB's I have ever seen at Michigan in pass pro btw- he was just great at it.

I don't want Les at Purdue. Purdue doesn't have the talent to run a Les Miles system. 
I could see him at Tennessee though.

He did pretty well at Okie State with lesser talent.

Les' scheme on offense stinks. I think for him to have a really successful program, he needs to be at a helmet or a "new-helmet" (FSU/LSU). He's a bad fit as a HC anywhere else, especially considering his age, in my opinion.

yeah, 16 years ago when he was 48. He's 64. He'll be 65 when next season starts.

He was 4-7, 8-5, 9-4, 7-5 at Okie State. He also had Gundy as his OC/QB's coach.

Schemes change, evolve. Game is way different now, more spread open. Les never evolved or caught up with the times. He's a stubborn ole' Bo guy that thinks the QB and pass game is just an accessory and you better run run run run the ball.

Tennessee meeting with Dave Doeren from NC State.....

That would be a decent Plan K

Lots of NC State fans are hoping, from what I gather.

he keeps holding them hostage for more money, and I think they are getting sick of it. Also read he's only 15-25 in conference.

The Brohm deal breakdown with Tenn (based on A RUMOR, as we all know now, there was no signed Schiano 'Memo' with Tenn) is that Tenn refused to cover the $4m buyout.  If that is true, then Tennessee truly is in a twilight zone of their own creation.

I didn't know Les had an offensive scheme?   Maybe a risky scheme, or eating grass, and hoping the clock doesn't hit 00:00.

i think there is a coup d'etat taking place in Kville...personally, that is... 
there is a group of boosters that don't want to see Currie succeed- and intent to see him fired.  i don't know what they think they can do better, well... other than HIRE A FIRM.... but... 
twilight of their own making?  without doubt...

According to Clay Travis [so give this about 4% credibility], Currie made Brohm an offer and he accepted, but the chancellor wouldn't sign it. So they went back to Brohm with a lower offer that he declined.

I've never gotten that Clay Travis is anything more than the UT version of Gregg Henson, he knows a couple people, but is usually wrong, and is largely an asshat, but is loud enough about the few times he has a credible source, that people still pay attention?
