My biggest question is:
Who is the Coordinator for each one?
Pruitt - it has been mentioned that either Napier or possibly Lindsey (I guess if the $$$ is right) along with Friend as OL coach.
Venables - who would be OC and what kind of offense?
Moorhead - (who doesn't want moor head) - one of the most innovative offenses in the country. What kind of defense and who runs it? Any chance of keeping Grantham?
Who's going to recruit for Moorhead (Hugh Freeze will sign up)? Seriously. He doesn't have any connections to the southeast and doesn't have any coaching contacts down here. Doesn't matter if he's Bill Walsh if he can't get players and understand the culture.
I agree will all of this (maybe especially the moor head)....and yes, I have not heard anything legit as far as Grantham leaving, he may be waiting to see who we hire. He hasn't changed his twitter to Blue/Ernge like Dick Move and his band of assholes.Quote:

It would be an absolute home run if we get Moorhead and are some how able to keep Grantham
Someone sell me on Moorhead. Not saying I don't want him, I'm just curious
If we keep a good bit of the D staff that is left - English, Baker, TBuck - and Looney on O, we have the makings of keeping a strong D and our recruiting core in place. Add to it our off field guys in Gibson, Peterson, Austin and Bowen who really make the contacts with the coaches, and there is nothing really to worry about. People are forgetting that English was a Broyles winner as DC at Michigan in '06.Quote:

Runs an extremely innovative offense and is widely considered to be the #1 assistant in college football at the moment
I would love to get moorhead..... I love the fact he?s been a HC. What he did at Fordham was just amazing and the offensive turnaround at Penn St was off the charts! Moorhead or Fadora!
A new coach isn't going to keep all those guys. Just not happening.Quote:

Why not? It's happened other places. If you are a smart Offensive guy from out of the region, have no real ties to a defensive staff, and need the staff it makes sense.Quote:

Yep, that's the ticket. Let's haul off and hire a coach from The Bronx, New York City, New York. His Fordham University experience will serve him well navigating the rural backroads of the SEC****. For gosh sakes we have enough trouble keeping coaches and wives happy from metropolitan areas of the south. Some of you need to stop and think about what you are saying. This is way more culture shock than can be overcome.
Recruit enough? So just keep on like we’re doing? Unreal. If we get Moorhead will absolutely take a step back in recruiting no doubt and we can’t afford to do thatQuote:

Every coach in America would hire Bud Foster (not Black, Bud Black was baseball player). He was a bigger deal than the head coach. Do you think VA Tech would've kept their defensive staff if Foster had left?Quote:

But if he comes and brings 7 guys with no ties to the south and it could be a bit of an uphill battle early.
Yep! No one is even thinking about thisQuote:

Enough with the recruiting. It's important but for the HC it is not # 1 on the list that he is the Allstar recruiter. It's down on the criteria. The HC needs to have recruiters on staff and know the importance but he does not have to be "the guy". He just needs to be able to close and emphasize it with his coaches. He can't have that much contact to begin with.
You either trust Cohen to make the right hire or you don't.

Brain fart. Didn't say anything contrary to that but you just asked to name a school that did. VT is the answer. And there have been several coaches over the years who retained staff. Dan kept Reed Stringer. It's not unheard ofQuote:
