Coaching hires (at other schools)

[Swamp Donkey]

Honestly, the only issue w/ the 10th assistant has been the lower-level D1 schools saying they cannot afford it and need more time to prepare/budget for it. As an SEC school, we tend to forget that most schools lose money on football (especially at the Group of 5 schools).

First, you dont HAVE to hire any number of coaches.

Second, there could be 128 coaches being hired. I wonder if we lose anyone.

Why should the NCAA regulate how a football program wants tho spend their money? What next, limiting the amount you can spend on facilities? Do we have to feed our guys bologna sandwiches and store brand koolaid if that's all the smaller schools can afford?

Fairness.

I know it's hypocritical, but that's it. No other reason.

Remember in the 80's when they had a "limited earnings" coach? The NCAA was sued and they did away w/ that position.

The reason Saban created "analysts" and "quality control" coaches was to circumvent the rules. Genius.

Honestly, the answer is fairness.....no matter if you or I agree w/ it or not. You can't have one school w/ 15 coaches and another with 8.

First, you dont HAVE to hire any number of coaches.

Second, there could be 128 coaches being hired. I wonder if we lose anyone.

Sure, they don't "have" to hire a 10th coach....but I imagine they could bring on a GA or out of work coach for $20,000/year at some of these lower level schools and fill the positions.

I doubt we lose anyone. I'm curious of McElwain has anyone lined up for the 10th spot....or if it will be another sh*t-show and take 3 months to fill the position.

On the "have to" issue; a lot of the Group of 5 schools aren't even paying the Cost of Attendance stipends. So, again, you're right that they don't "have" to.

I'll be curious to see how the vote goes. I'd be surprised if they vote it down. The rumor earlier in the year was that they might delay the vote until next off-season.

Don't think anyone will try and steal Nuss or Nord from us.

I'm sure we'll steal another Nuss or Nord from someone else though.

Another lesson for recruits, Iowa State cornerbacks coach D.K. McDonald tweeted this on Tuesday:

“Recruits: We just rejected a recruit due to his tweet. Reminder don't cuss, use the N-Word, middle finger or disrespect women on twitter!!!”

Every little thing matters.


Plenty of programs use urine color hydration charts, but Tom Herman’s Texas staff sure makes it personal.

The three lightest colors are “Championship level,” followed by “Selfish teammate,” “Blatant disregard for your teammates, you are headed for Area 51” and “You are a bad guy!!!”

Texas football coach Tom Herman said they consistently check the urine of players. Calls out players who are dehydrated in front of the team

This is an odd/interesting move:


Illinois: Former Illinois and Western Michigan head coach Bill Cubit has been named head coach at Martin County High School (FL) again.

Texas spends money on football like no other state.

Texas themselves actually were pretty cheap on everyone but Strong's salary when he was there compared to other top schools. I think they were paying assistants a total about equal to us those years.
