9-20 at Arizona. We don’t need to be the landing spot for washed up atm coaches.
You didn't like Fran?

Fran 1.0 was awesome. Fran 2.0 left us in a lurch with the timing of his retirement. He should have left at the end of the prior season.
Have we discussed this at all? I've been snowboarding for a week and somewhat out of pocket, and am just now seeing this.
Eric Morris from UIW HC to Washington State OC
GJ Kinne from UCF Co-OC to UIW HC
I still remember Kinne as a recruit and remember thinking at some point he'd be a coach because his dad was and he was smarter than he was talented. His ascension to D1 HC is ridiculous - 6yrs from GA to HC.

I really like Carthel. I remembered this story from last year about how he had his dad coach a game for him when he was out with the 'vid. Great article that gives you a lot of insight to his personality.
After coronavirus diagnosis, Stephen F. Austin coach calls on Dad to ditch farm for football field
When SFA football coach Colby Carthel couldn't be on the sideline for his team's upcoming game, he turned to his father, Don, who left his tractor to return to the gridiron and lead the Lumberjacks to a win.

Talking about Matt Rhule getting the hook here. He'll probably eventually get a shot to extinguish another P5 dumpster fire. Would have liked for him to go to the U of Miami. He will probably be some kind of consultant for a year if he gets fired but Nebraska, Stanford even Texass might be out there when he's ready.

14 players have entered transfer portal, forcing Graham and the AD to put out a statement on it. Shortly after that statement his own son hopped into the portal:
They do but that doesn't mean they do anything with them. What about perpetual dumpster fires like the Detroit Lions and the New York Jets? How many first round picks did Cleveland waste on QB's? Now they are throwing Baker Mayfield under to bus. He's their best QB since Bernie Kosar. They need to remember how bad they were before Mayfield got there.
edit: didn't realize this was for OC only. Lateral move from USC to WVU? Yikes.

After learning about UT's new WR coach, I'd go w/ him at OC in a heartbeat. Unique offense that doesn't require a great passing QB to be successful. Dude has even written a book on it.

So with Peeler and Whitworth gone, who do we expect to replace them? OC/WR Coach and RB/ST respectively.
Keff said on his last pod he hasn't heard any rumblings. His (purely speculative) theory is internal replacements (pretty hard to hire someone for a potentially 1-year gig) with Hamilton being promoted to OC and Boone Feldt (Grad Assistant) being promoted to TEs.
As for RB/ST, Keff theorizes Patrick Doherty who has been Special Teams and Offensive Analyst for us since Spav has been here.
WR duties likely just fall entirely to Bryson Abraham, who I guess was co-WR coach?
Personally I'm not crazy about Hamilton being moved up, not like he's managed to get his own position players to do much of anything the past two years.

Internal replacements might be acceptable for a successful program to promote coaches that contributed to the success. When you’re trying to improve your program, seems like you would at least go find talented coaches that have proven themselves worthy of Peelers and Whitworth’s salary. If I was AD, I would see it as an opportunity to prove I was prepared for expected coaching changes. Promoting from within is lazy when you’ve had our level of success. Different story if you’re Bama.

Agreed, but I would think convincing anyone worth trying to hire would be almost impossible.
I have a feeling next season is going to be more of the usual misery.

At least Peeler used us for a stepping stone.
ADs don't typically involve themselves in coaching staff hires.
Going from OC to position coach is not a step up. It's the same spot he was in before he came to SMTX.
