I think we may be making a change...

[confucius say]

No

Care to share the rumor?

[TheLostDawg]

Do it

You'll be the only P5 college job open? The vacancies have been hired unless someone makes an unexpected retirement or gets an NFL job. If your guy is still there, then why delay and invite outside completion in November?

I think it is better for recruting as well. You enter the recruiting cycle now. The new coach would have a full calendar year to form relationships with 20/21 recruits. It sure beats having to piece together a class at the last minute. As for this year's class, he has 20 or signatures. Instead of a broad evaluation, he has 20 commitments to reaffirm.

Only negative thing is finding a staff this late. A lot of new coaches have already picked apart the staff. We'd be okay if we hurry up and do it before other schools have their assistants sign extensions.

The coaches convention in Jan 12th so there's still some time to put together a staff. And there may be a couple of coaches worth keeping from current staff. S&C coach, OC/DC, OL coach are the main ones that would need to get settled.

College coach told someone I know that their HC had been contacted about the State job.

Well, even if we keep Joe, we have all this talk about significant staff shakeup and we haven't even started yet. The only major effect with us is I would think there would be continuity with Shoop and most of the defensive side of our staff (minus LB coach) with Moorhead staying.

And this was in the last 48 hours?

[Bert Stare]

i told u guys this yesterday, but i have direct contact with Trace Armstrong (joe brady's agent). MSU officials have reached out to him twice to gauge interest of his client. they could be using us as a pay raise, but they were told our head coach position will be open..... soon.

yep

If what I heard about a certain family member is true, things may have had a change of heart, family matters. So...

Well if I'm reading this right and JM's wife had an issue at the bowl game, like I heard. This could mean she came home and said get me out of here and made JM have a change of heart about staying.

[Lloyd Christmas]

What?s this all about?

I post infrequently these days, but I actually have a source on what they might be referring to.

Joe's daughter is having a VERY rough time at State right now. According to my source, Joe says she's being "harassed" constantly due to his job performance. I don't know how much she's actually getting "harassed", but I bet she's had to endure at least some heckling.

Anyways, apparently Joe's ridiculous Egg bowl postgame behavior was fueled by his anger over his daughter's perceived treatment.

This may not be related to what OP is hinting at, but wanted to share what I had.

I would be so fcking pumped up if we hired Joe Brady. I don't give a shit that he would have a learning curve. And I don't give a shit that he would leave after 5 years if successful.

[NCDawg]

Please DEAR GOSH let this actually happen this go around.... PLEASE!!! Get his Yankee ass outta here!!

Totally agree.

I hate that. Know it’s unavoidable but sucks to hear that’s happening, no reason to drag his family into it

I hope that coach gets to come home.

I can tell you from first hand experience that his wife is a textbook numbskull.

There will be a lot of coaches looking for jobs at the up coming coaches clinic. Not just unemployed coaches, but some unhappy in their current position like how we got Todd Grantham and there will coaches looking to move up the ladder.

Sounds like ULL with your Louisiana connections.

[Noxdog]

I'm still pissed about that press conference too. That was a real turning point for me. I went from disagreeing with the way he was running our offense and our program to actually not liking him.

That was clueless on his part. Don't talk down to the fanbase much less insult them. He's so egotistical and arrogant it makes me sick.

Would this be a good coach?
