Tell Jay Hopson we'll pay him $900k, which would be a raise for him, to become our DC. He's got a better chance at becoming a P5 HC and/or advance his career as DC of a SEC program than as HC at USM. Just a wild thought

What happened to the ULL guy? He still a candidate?
Coordinators rarely pick staff. If they're lucky they may bring 1 guy with them. 2 would be the max & extremely rare. That's goes for offense & defense.
Yes, that is normal.
Think about all the DC's we have had come through here over the last 10 years. They weren't all bringing a new staff with them. Sometimes a coordinator will bring a guy or two with them, but rarely are they overhauling their entire staff. Just about any time a new coordinator is hired from outside the program, they are inheriting position coaches.
I was concerned about not having a spot for both his guys and was hoping something could be worked out.
I'm good with the D guys Leach has brung with him ... he knows if guys can coach or not and if they can't he'll cut ties with them (from all I've read and researched on him).
So do we have any idea on when we will be hiring a DC? Are we just striking out with everyone or are we trying to work out a deal with someone in particular?
So to reset , who are our realistic candidates at this point?
So, does this open the door for that shoop fella?
I thought Shoop had already landed elsewhere. He still in limbo?
Shoop was hired by Michigan as safeties coach. It might be possible to bring him back as DC, but I seriously doubt it, and at this point, just move on and get someone else. There's no real need to bring him back.
