2018 Coaching Changes thread

Take a peek at the UW thread...

oh... no..... 
I was making light of your post on the husker thread.  Had no idea was being targeted.   Aggies will spend.  Barry, historically, has not.   that's not good for the BIG

Yep. The only thing UW has with this one is the fact that he grew up in Tony, WI, was a Badger fan at birth, walked-on to UW and made All-American. That and he moved his family to Madison before he took the DB coach job PC offered to him. So, he wants to be in Madison.

But that kind of money.. he can afford another house somewhere else for 3 months or whatever.

Haven't kept up, but is there talk of Hamilton and Drevno on their way out?

Edit: Never mind. See it in the Michigan thread.

Aranda staying in the Bayou.

Rumor is Don Brown is target #2

Brown turned them down. Just like he'll turn anyone down. He's up there in age. Think he's retiring at Michigan.
Sounds like aTm has struck a deal with ND Dc Mike Elko.

Yep, Jimmy said "no" too. This thing moved quickly. Now it's ND's turn to make a move.

Diaco..

Maryland adds Chuck Heater to coach safeties.

I saw on he top of our site that some dude named Grinch got a co-DC job with OSU today. I clicked on the article and it said that while he was the DC at Wazzu, his defenses never finished below #74 in the nation.

That's so awesome.

hey, living in the PAC, that's quite an accomplishment

I still think it's hilarious though. Never finished below 74... LMAO.

never is a big word

how many seasons is never?

5 or 6?

Mario Cristobal made his first outside staff hire as Oregon's coach with the addition of assistant Donte Williams on Thursday.

Williams, who spent last season coaching cornerbacks for Mike Riley at Nebraska and held the same position at Arizona in 2016, will coach outside linebackers with the Ducks.

Maryland hiring CHuck Heater for Safeties - A+: He did an outstanding job under Meyer at Florida in piecing together solid defensive backfields during the 2006 & 2007 seasons.

Oregon hiring Donte Williams - A: Williams is a lights-out recruiter with ties deep into southern Cal, good pickup. Never saw him staying at Nebraska. 

Dave Aranda making how much? Good grief I never expected to see an assistant making that much. For that price I think LSU wishes they'd given the HC job to Aranda rather than Ed O.

So, this is a little skewed. Grinch was there 3 years. 1st year he improved their defense from 114 to 74. 2nd year improved again, and in his 3rd year got the D ranking all the way up to 16th. Funny way to report it.

Harlon Barnett heading to FSU for nearly $1 million a year.  Good for him,

Assume this makes Tressell full DC now, and opens up a spot at DB coach.  The obvious choices are a couple of alums, Renaldo Hill at Pitt, or Demetrice Martin at UCLA.  Both are known for their recruiting more than their Xs and Os, but with a defensive minded head coach, I'm good with that.
