Has anyone heard anything about anyone other than Akina?

Posted: **Thu Jan 18, 2024 2:23 pm**

I saw that an assistant AD was coming from SJSU. Not really sure what that’s all about.

Posted: **Thu Jan 18, 2024 2:34 pm**

I would assume Brennan is waiting for the interviewing process at SJSU to play out since some of the guys he would wanna bring over are candidates

Posted: **Thu Jan 18, 2024 3:37 pm**

When Brennan was introduced he told the story of him calling his good friend that coaches in the NFL. I wonder if that coach is being courted because that team may still be in playoff mix. He probably can't make it public right now. Just spitballing

Huge mistake waiting for another school's hiring process to play out befor going ahead with your own hiring process. If he is doing that, it is just plain stupid, IMO. He needs to GET HIS STAFF SET. The longer he fiddle-farts around, the worse our transfer situation will be.

Don't the assistant jobs have to be advertised or have they changed the rules? Doesn't seem that long ago even the head coaching positions had to be advertised before the new hire could be announced. Don't see any AD openings. Remember Shay Binion(sp?)?

Akina was obviously already an employee.

I found an article about SJSU new coach search. It will give you some idea of a couple of their assistant coaches that may come here if they don't get the head coaching job.

Their running backs coach will come here if he doesn’t get HC.

What do you think the impact is going to be? I know several of the assistant coaches were interviewing for that job and I thought that was one of the things holding up us announcing our new assistants. I think a couple of Brennan's assistants from SJDU will be arriving soon.

I think the defensive coordinator as well.

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2024 3:35 pm**

SJST hired Ken N (former Navy coach) so Carter, Odum and maybe Viney should get a look

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2024 4:30 pm**

Coach Akina was on the court with the boys.

Good news.

He won't be running the tripple option you mean.

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2024 4:52 pm**

Photographic proof of Akina….

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2024 8:08 pm**

Well now I'm curious...

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2024 8:10 pm**

I mean, when is Akina officially coming back?

He was at McKale today.

He's listed here:

Akina’s twitter game has been scrong today.

Posted: **Sat Jan 20, 2024 9:49 pm**

Akina is the guy to follow. He's been killing it today.

I like the OLine guy. Waiting to see who the OC is as I think that one is very important

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 5:23 pm**

If he brings the TE coach, maybe he can bring this player with him.

#1 rated JC TE according to ESPN, 5th by 247.

Not that Brennan will run the same offense Fisch did, but Tanner McLachlan became a pretty good player.

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 6:06 pm**

We have not announced a OC yet, correct?

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 6:34 pm**

New RB coach…

That's correct which makes the position coach hires strange.

Yeah wouldn’t the OC want a voice in those decisions?

You would think unless we already have our guy just not announced.

Dude has moves, used to be a backup dance for MC Hammer

Posted: **Sun Jan 21, 2024 6:50 pm**

I figured it would be a Kevin McGiven as to who the new OC will be, but maybe not?

Akina is 67. Does he have the energy for recruiting?

He certainly has the energy to run up and down the sidelines screaming all game

Recruiting has changed a lot. NIL is the biggest difference in recruiting.

I guess it was a Kevin McGiven that he would actually remain on Ken N's staff at San Jose State. Very curious who we decide to hire?

This is a really good hire.

Posted: **Wed Jan 24, 2024 9:01 am**

Nice resume for sure.

Seems like Mike Riley would be a good or maybe better choice.

Posted: **Wed Jan 24, 2024 11:47 am**

So Tomey's OC and DC may be back. With Cecil and Hunley.

Posted: **Wed Jan 24, 2024 11:48 am**

We're getting the band back together!
