What about Marcus Freeman, DC at Cincinnati? Saw his name mentioned on the 247 board by someone other than a mod over there. He's drastically improved their defense the last 2 years in a pass-happy and high-scoring league. He's young and on the rise so he'd be a little bit of a gamble but could be a high upside choice. Here's Cincy's defensive stats the last 3 years:
2017 (1st season): 93rd scoring defense, 31.7 PPG, gave up 224 passing YPG & 204 rushing YPG for total of 428 YPG
2018: jumped all the way up to the 8th scoring defense, 17.2 PPG, gave up 191 passing YPG & 111 rushing YPG for total of 302 YPG and averaged 1.5 TO's per game
2019: 24th scoring defense, 20.6 PPG, gave up 223 passing YPG & 138 rushing YPG for total of 361 YPG, averaged 2 TO's per game

Combined with the fact that air raid will have our Defensive guys right back out there, continuously.
That’s not true. WSU defended the fewest plays in the PAC-12, 3 of the last 4 years. A lot of people have a false belief that his air raid is some type of HUNH or up tempo offense. That not true. They only are defending about 65-70 plays a game.

What a lot of people don't understand is that Leach's offense basically has running plays, except they're just not actual running plays. Short slants, screens, quick outs; they serve the purpose of a running play, except it just stretches the field. Those plays burn clock just like any rushing play.

I still think we need to make another run at Randy Shannon. He supposedly makes $300K there at UCF - would he really turn down more than double the pay to stay in FL?
And I wonder if Walters comes back into play if LSU doesn't want him

We can offer more money and an opportunity to coach in the SEC. I mean, we've been able to draw elite DC's going back to at least the 1990's. We can offer pretty close to top dollar now. I don't think UNC would outbid us if it came down to it.

My top two are Bateman and Rocky Long. Either one.

If that were all there was to it, Newberry be here.
Again, why, other than money, would he come?

That?s one reason I value your posts. People who stand up and admit when they missed one are generally the ones with the best and most trustworthy info.

I think the Newberry deal was about living location honestly. These younger coaches and families dont want to be in rural MS when they have a choice.

Kind of hoping the Pirate has a back up plan ready when things like this happen. Maybe he's been working on that today. I just think we will all be surprised and happy when the announcement is made. Fingers crossed!

Not necessarily. It depends on what the candidate values. I can understand Newberry wanting to bring in people he is comfortable with. A good working relationship is important. He may be playing the game like Napier. He probably made a poor financial decision.
As I said- it's a more prestigious league. It's more pay and upward mobility. That can lead to a head coaching job. And Leach has a good history of producing head coaches.
Croom was able to get Ellis Johnson. Joe got Bob Shoop. Dan landed Manny, Geoff, and Grantham despite being a known ass and hard to work for. Why can't we get Bateman?

It's certainly not like living in an area with close to 7M, and even larger when Baltimore is added in. If he's used to living in a large city, Starkville would be a culture shock. After googling him, he comes from Kennesaw State (a similar sized metro as Washington), but also coached at Sewanee, definitely a rural area.
He also might be used to coaching highly disciplined players at the Academy and doesn't want to give that up.

Not an issue in today's society with millionaire coaches and today's technology. Most head coaches have second homes nowadays.

It certainly takes something you really deem valuable to turn down $400k or more of salary

I agree. A lot of people thought Tennessee was a dumpster fire when they lost to Georgia State to begin the season. Pruitt is a good coach, demands discipline, and got Tennessee on the right path. They had a good recruiting year this year, also. If we had hired Pruitt instead of Moorhead, we would have been better off. Guess things turned out good for us, however, since now we have Leach.
