flakes {l Wrote}:Recently chatted with a player from the Matt Ryan teams of the mid-2000s...I told him I couldn't stand Daz and his exact quote was..."why do you think all the assistants leave?"
If we're being honest with ourselves, position coach at Michigan, or QB coach at Ohio State is probably at least on par with DC or OC at BC, but that quote just further depressed me about our coaching situation.
Don Brown's family, including grand kids, are on the East Coast - he really didn't want to leave. The Michigan money was nice, but more importantly, he couldn't stand Daz. Other coaches hate Daz, too.
A football parent (from another school) told me that Daz is well known as being a jerk, so he repels players, too - especially if they don't know if their position coach/coordinator will be there in a year or two because they're always looking to leave.
I think that ATL is right when he says it's a desirable job for a lot of head coaches - market rate salary, nice area, fairly low-pressure, mostly smart players who don't get into big trouble, don't have to do the dog and pony show... and now the facilities are pretty good. IMO, the problem isn't Jarmond, it's Leahy - a guy who won't pay a buyout, won't properly fund/staff the department, and who is a micro-manager (he approves even the smallest of details). He's 70, how much longer until he steps down? Monan was 71. Until that happens... status quo.
