Bo Bounds Say (on Finebaum)
The interview results:
Pruitt: Good
Venables: Super
Moorhead: Super
confirmed High IQ thingy
expects announcement tonite or tomorrow around noonish.
Bo seems to be really impressed w/the OC from PSU. Franklin gives him big thumbs up.
-
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.

I heard Moorhead was bringing in Croom as RB coach and head coach of recruiting. He has ties to the area and knows the lay of the land afterall.

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.
Remember - those guys aren't tied to Grantham, they came in with Sirmon or before.

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.

I will turn this board in favor of Fadora before the day is over!
What coach on our list has done what the visor has done?

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.

It just won't happen. He might keep a guy or even two. But as rule, most guys start w a clean fresh staff of their own guys. Now, inside the office those are way more likely to keep spots

Name the power 5 schools that brought in a coach from outside the program that kept the staff.....You're talking the whole defense other than the DC. No DC worth a crap is going to take that. And no, Grantham isn't coming back. He's gone after this week.

No matter who we hire we will not outrecruit auburn, bama, LSU, and aTm. Our best chance is to recruit enough and have a staff that can outcoach them

He is a GREAT OC. He won OC of the year! AND he tore it up at Fordham! But he has ZERO relationships in the fertile recruiting in the south. If you want Mullen 2.0 without Tebow connections then Moorhead is your guy!

It was Bo who swore Mullen would not go to Florida.
