Coaching Carousel 2014/15 Edition

I'm not worried about Addazio. If you have ever spoken directly to him, you would understand why people say the guy truly loves it here. He genuinely seems to enjoy the school and the area. That's not to say I don't think Addazio would never leave, I just don't think he would leave for anything less than a tier 1, absolute certainty job. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe others are wrong, it certainly could just be a persona he puts up. But I would be shocked to see him leave for a Wisconsin type job.

Wasn't there some Mass kid folks were all busted up about who went to Wisco?

I love the guy, but keep in mind, he also used to be pretty darn enthusiastic about Temple and Philadelphia.

Gary Andersen leaving Wisconsin for Oregon State

http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/12/10/7373923/gary-andersen-oregon-state-head-coach

Bruce Feldman tweeted good point, could Chryst leave Pitt to go back to Wisconsin ??

First of all... Holy Shit! Oregon State really won that swap of coaches with the B10. Second of all, Chryst would personally pay whatever Pitt buy-out he has for the chance at Wisco.

Will be interesting to see if there is any recruting fall out from this at Wisconsin and/or at Pitt shoudl Chryst leave. Wisconsin is involved with a number of guys that BC had offered (specifically Jake Pickard and Sam Madden both from NJ but guys in previous classes as well such as Lubern Figaro). These were Pickards tweets from a moment ago :

One of the rumors as to why he left is because he was disenchanted by the admission process at Wisconsin and said their academic restrictions were too stringent

TOS, at the time, claimed BC could not take Figaro for academic reasons.

So I popped onto M Go Blog this AM because I was curious what had been said about Daz for UM. The people there... they do not want him. What I found interesting is they all claim that he fits the supposed profile of a "offensive-minded coach who runs a pro set offense" or as the writer describes it - "the kind of guy who thinks football innovation ended in 1997."

I contrast that with their lust for Harbaugh and can only assume that they just haven't watched any BC games (not really a stretch - why would they?). Considering how much our offense the last few years have looked like Stanford's...

Anyhow, this is all rambling but I'm wondering if Daz is mentioned solely as a "hey, here's a guy that may work there" and not really on any list so to speak.

[Logitano]

Wisconsin seemed like a good job before their last two coaches left for Arkansas and Oregon State.

I wonder if after losing 59-0 to the Ohio State in a championship game if he was not encouraged to explore other options. Rare to see a team that unprepared for a big time football game. Barry Alvarez comes across as a real prick to deal with. You don't got to go home....

Who was the guy who was working at Wisconsin, was from Long Island, and played at Alabama, whose name got tossed around a bunch when GDF left.

That 59-0 win by Ohio State sure made it a lot easier for Barry Alvarez to convince the committee not to leave his Big Ten conference out in the cold.

Cutcliffe turning Michigan down turned out to be false ...

Cutcliffe turning Michigan down turned out to be false ...

According to Michigan through the Detroit News. They also claim that Les Miles was contacted but was made clear that he isn't a top candidate. Whatevs. This is like saying Christian was our top choice all along and anyone who claims they had more than cursory discussions for the BC job is a liar. There has never in the history of college been a situation where a school didn't land the only person they offered the job to. Hell... even though Beamer and Laycock had BC press conferences scheduled in 1991, neither were technically offered the job.

Are they saying they WANT someone who thinks football innovation ended in 1997? Because they had someone who one of the more innovative offensive minds (in RichRod), and they HATED it and ran him out of town quite quickly for not playing "Big Ten Football".

Their concerns about Daz are pretty much the same were ours. It's understandable. At the end of the day, Daz still has the Florida OC disaster fresh in the minds of many. BC is a great spot for him to remake his reputation.

If by "innovative" you mean that RichRod ran the Veer from the 1950's, sure.

[HJS]

I've seen Daz's name mentioned on lists of possible Wisco candidates, but they seem to be in the same line that has him linked to Mich (i.e. coach doing a decent job at a similar program and runs a Big-Ten-friendly offense).

That said... how can Chryst NOT be the choice? Raised in Madison... was a starting QB for the Badgers... was Alvarez's OC before retaining the gig under Beilema. With the revolving door recently in Madison, you just have to assume they will go with the hometown alum. This thread should now focus on who Pitt will hire. While I am a strong supporter of hiring climbers, Pitt is likely sick of doing it. My guess is that they will look to hire someone who will stay for more than 3 years. That will likely mean a MAC coach (Lembo, Campbell) or an alum (and likely takes someone like Schiano out of the mix).

[flyingelvii]

I think Schiano just announced that he has taken his name out of the running for the Pitt job.

The problem with Cutcliffe to Michigan is it really never made any sense as someone said previously. Does Michigan really want a 60 year old coach who bombed in the only pressure situation he was ever in (Ole Miss) and who's other claim to fame is made Duke into a respectable team on the shitty side of the ACC?

you know who claims something is fake in a clandestine situation? the one who was turned down

is this a tangent of the "denied it/supplied it" postulate?

Twittersphere says Chryst got the Wisconsin job

[claver2010]

Lol Pitt

Even better Pitt fans were suggesting Daz

They will be on their 7th coach (Hc And interim to have coached a game) in 5 years. Hopefully we see some recruiting fallout here as pitt, like wisconsin, had commitments from a few guys who had BC in serious consideration(Quadree henderson for one picked Pitt over BC)

[eagle9903]

What do we think Daz gets paid again?

[eagle9903]

What do we think Daz gets paid again?

I'll answer my own question. According to "coachinghotseat.com" Daz earns 1.75 million. According to the same site, Chryst earns 1.8 million (according to USA today, Chryst earns 1.575). If these are accurate or at least in the ballpark, I am not worried about losing a coach to Pitt for financial reasons.

[BCSUPERFAN22]

What do we think Daz gets paid again?

Addazio makes 2 mill/year

[DavidGordonsFoot]

This was my understanding, as well.

As I said yesterday, I think Pitt is going to look at someone who will stay a little while. As such, they will look at coaches with connections to the area (like an alum) or give a MAC coach their shot (which usually means a solid 4+ years before someone bigger would come poaching).

I have zero concern about Pitt taking Dazoo... even if they are ultimately somehow successful.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

[NotoriousOrange]

Gents,

Addazio truly likes it here. He is not looking at the job as a stepping stone. Of course someone could blow him away with an outrageous offer, but I don't believe that he is trying to actively seek such offers.

On the other hand Jags wanted to/and was actively seeking to get back to the NFL within 2 weeks of taking the BC job

[eaglesfan06]

Am I missing something? Chryst is pretty mediocre IMO.

Pitt can easily upgrade on him even with one of the up and coming MAC coaches.

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

he mediocred the shit out of us...
