Coaching Buyouts and Contract Extensions Thread

He is a Purdue legacy. Played LB for the Boilers in the 80s.

There are worse candidates. He'd probably come cheaper than Brohm at least.

If Brohm were to leave, and I'm the Purdue AD, I'd at least give a hard look at Tim Tibesar. The guy can coach and he's a good recruiter too - really liked him when he was at UW, but he left when Leonhard was picked for DC over him.

Of course, he's a defensive guy, so, he probably wouldn't get a sniff at Purdue.

He was our DC in 2012, Danny Hope's last season as HC. That was his first US job after spending a few seasons in the CFL. It didn't go well. Looking at the stats, we had the 89th-ranked scoring defense in FBS. 

That said, I don't like the idea. He hasn't had any HC experience, and he's only even been a DC twice--once at Purdue which didn't go well but he only got one year, and while the OrSU defense has improved, I'm not sure he's earned HC level looks yet.

If Brohm leaves, I'm not saying you need to throw out money like Brohm is earning, but I'd be looking a tier above Tibesar in the grand scheme of things.

He was also a DC at KSU (when Bielema left, I believe) and at North Dakota (alma mater), and in the CFL. LB coach for Lovie in Chicago.

Worked for some really good coaches along the way too, including Fitz at NU, and Snyder. Aranda and Chryst.

You're right though. Probably should take a job as HC at a MWC or MAC school first. Of course, the aforesaid Bielema was never a HC before UW, and that worked OK.

I know how fond you are of Bert.

I wonder statistically how many new coaches are viewed as successes by the program after 5-7 years.  What would you guess?

We could probably simply look at coaching tenures, any coach still AT a program after 7 years likely is viewed as a success.  Those there less than that would be "yet to be determined" in many cases, but I bet many were fired before they made 7 years.  (Seven is arbitrary.)  This far, three of the 14 SEC programs are looking, and a couple more are pondering (USCe and Tennessee).  Florida found what well may be a good coach after a few attempts failed.

I think he's a good man who had some bad moments. The worst of which being his leaving UW. I doubt he'd still be there though. A lot of the big money didn't like him.

Couldn't believe how juvenile Bert got after leaving Madtown.The Kharma bullshit what was that even about?Though he certainly got his comeuppance later.UW treated him great and he badmouths them with his arm candy tart echoing everthing he said.I thought the best one was like 3 years back, for no reason whatsoever he starts popping off about Ohio State's schedule.That very next saturday the Hogs lost @ home to Toledo who was with out Kareem Hunt and their starting QB - a team tOSU has never lost to.The guy just couldn't get out of his own way.The pitchforks and torches really started coming out after that

[847badgerfan]

I think he likes where he is now. He's a good DL coach, working for the best organization in sports. Lost a bunch of weight too. I'm happy for him.

The Karma thing.. that was his wife, tweeted after UW got the hose job at ASU.

Purdue DC Nick Holt has been fired. No named replacement at this time.

[MarqHusker]

TV gave Holt an absurd amount of face time.  Good pictures I guess,  but it portrayed him as some sort of defensive genius when he stomped around like a meathead.  He was the Pelini of DCs.

Wait, why are we just now learning of Mike Norvell's player photo from his playing days at Central Arkansas?

LMAO. Sam McGuffie?

Wonder what happens with Willie Taggart. Wouldn't mind Harbaugh hiring him as an assistant or analyst just for recruiting purposes. Taggart has lot of connections in Florida and California, he's a heck of a recruiter.

He looked so fearsome. I feel like his defenses ran hot and cold. He had some good ones I think, but consistency wasn’t always there.
