Re: Assistant Coaches
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Re: Assistant Coaches
As far as new assistant coaches go I sure hope we have people in mind and people that are interested. Recruiting and the transfer portal is not going to wait.
Re: Assistant Coaches
Hiring well qualified assistants is not going to be easy.
1) The UA doesn't have much money (the school is broke)
2) Any potential applicant is going to know that Brennan is already on the hot seat and may be gone in as little as a year. What coach wants to apply for a job knowing that he may get canned before he can unpack his belongings??
3) The UA football team is in rebuilding mode. The new assistants are going to have to recruit their asses off, without much in the way of NIL
I doubt we are going to get the cream of the crop, knowing that the potential applicants are aware of #1-#3

Re: Assistant Coaches
The checks boosters wrote to get rid of Brennan will go to new assistants, so money to get good ones shouldn't be an issue.
Your other two points are valid though. But about #2, an upside is knowing if you do a good job you'll have your foot in the door for the head coaching job.

Scheer claimed that in his latest podcast.

Re: Assistant Coaches
Don't know about Carter neither... Sure he seems to be a great person, but can he coach? I know Oline contributed to lackluster rushing, but the RB room doesn't give me confidence right now.ChooChooCat wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2024 8:57 amYup, but the guys from San Jose State are just too good to let go or something. Truthfully the only assistant that should keep his job is probably Carter. Everybody else can go.
Re: Assistant Coaches
I just re-listened and he said it's possible that the money could be used for assistants. Possible.

Re: Assistant Coaches
Seeing as how O line was one of the biggest weaknesses of an overall weak team, I'd say they were a large part of why our RBs didn't do much (along with an ancient terrible offensive scheme)Abrahamarvel wrote: ↑Tue Dec 03, 2024 6:47 pmDon't know about Carter neither...

Re: Assistant Coaches
So, the “boosters” actually wrote checks/transferred $13 million expressly to get rid of Brennan and now that money is earmarked for assistants to help him get the program back on track?
Like, they didn’t make Brennan’s firing a prerequisite for writing a check/transferring money?
Or, they didn’t promise the money to fire Brennan would be transferred once he was in fact fired?
Seems improbable.

DRF: Hi, I'm trying to raise the funds in order to terminate Brennan's contract. Can you help?
Booster: Sure. How much do you need?
DRF: $14 million.
Booster: I can help with $5 mil.
DRF: Great
DRF: Oh, just in case I determine not to terminate Brennan can I use your funds for anything else?
Booster: Go fuck yourself. If I don't have that money back within 24 hours I'm sending some dude that goes by the name MAchina on you.

They sure couldn't poke any holes to make some running space, but Fifita led the nation in TTT (time to throw) for most of the season.Fishclamps wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2024 7:05 am Seeing as how O line was one of the biggest weaknesses of an overall weak team, I'd say they were a large part of why our RBs didn't do much (along with an ancient terrible offensive scheme)
