2018 Coaching Changes thread

I don't think Heater was hired to be the safeties coach. 

That's just the story, for now.

Sounds like Sumlin is at the top of Arizona's board.  Makes sense.  Made sense when their in state rival was rumored to have him at the top of their board a month ago.  Not too shabby to be forced into it a month later, and still wind up with the better hire.

Looks like Canada is really gonna be gone from LSU. Buyout is being negotiated and he's out looking for a job.

I wonder if he would entertain going back to Indiana.

[LetsGoPeay]

Yes, please. He was the only good part of the Bill Lynch years.

Maryland hiring CHuck Heater for Safeties - A+: He did an outstanding job under Meyer at Florida in piecing together solid defensive backfields during the 2006 & 2007 seasons.

2 things:
a - Heater is generally thought of as a great coach, and he probably is
b - in 2007, Florida had a garbage defensive backfield.  They later became great, but were young in 07 and sucked ass

derek friggin' dooley going to mizzou as OC... now THAT is funny!!!!

That should help solidify Mizzou's position at the bottom of the SEC-East for the coming seasons, while he lasts.

So, this is a little skewed. Grinch was there 3 years. 1st year he improved their defense from 114 to 74. 2nd year improved again, and in his 3rd year got the D ranking all the way up to 16th. Funny way to report it.

This. 
Their defense was something like 28th in yards per play, top-30 in opponent-adjusted S&P. It was a pretty good group. 
(Yards per game isn’t super useful anymore because the pace of the game varies so wildly)

That’s a move that ... wow

[Brutus Buckeye]

So glad that the Big Ten dodged the Mizzou bullet. 

Thanks again, Nebraska.

Hopefully he brings his Holiday Bowl game plan to Columbus.  MSUs offense hasn't looked that good since the Penn State game.

Bryan Stinespring hired as OL coach. 

[847badgerfan]

I have not heard of him. Is this a good thing?

[OrangeAfroMan]

Is Arizona going to pull the rug out from under someone?  Or just snag a coordinator?
