A true buy-a-win game to finish the non-con.
4pm
ESPN3.
Not much to say about this one in advance, other than it won’t help in the RPI (if you are actually worried about such a thing at this point).
Other than the obvious win, I’m hoping that Jamel Artis, Mike Young and James Robinson play under 25 minutes each.
I like this idea better than Locksley from Maryland. Not wowed by either guy really…
Johns, current OC of IU
Brad Salem, assistant at MSU
3 names that have been speculated about that seem interesting… gotta think Duzz goes with someone he knows or feels he really got a great read on them after Chaney pulled his crap at Pitt this year.
Duzz looking for someone who will stay for awhile…
where was the johns speculation coming from, did he indicate an interest?
Hail to Pitt!
I’ve been trying to connect the dots as well to see who might be available.
I think last year’s hire was the important OC to continue the success handed to HCPN by Chryst’s O. This next OC has to clean up Chaney’s mess (without T.Boyd).
Just like Pitt losses this year, Arkansas only scored 6 at halftime, and then a lot of points after the game was decided.
So, I don’t know what Richt sees in Chaney either … but their gain (loss) is our loss (gain)
Kirby Smart was DC at Bama so maybe he was impressed with Chaney’s offense … yet, in 2014, Bama beat Arkansas 14-13. The Hogs gained 227 total yards, not a lot, but Bama does play great defense.
Thus, I don’t really see what Smart sees in Chaney either.
It’s funny that the old Pitt administration wouldn’t give Teryl Austin the time of day, but NFL teams are interviewing him for HC.
——————————————-
And yet, Smug Steve didn’t even consider Austin after he fired DW … and hired Mike Heyward instead. After that, he did give him a courtesy interview but had his heart set on hiring an offensive coach.
Chaney was also QB coach and I think part of NP regressing for the bowl game was due to Chaney leaving. Would like to see Nardo hire a QB coach as well as a new OC.
Don’t be disappointed if the new hire is someone we never heard of … that would be unfair.
FWIW, I guess I would actually be disappointed if Brad Salem was hired … only because it would remind me of the in-breeding hiring policy of his predecessor, although he may turn out to be a really good choice.
Only thing I have see as a serious lead … and it’s slim is the DeFillipo noise coming out of Cleveland.
I bet you want Mike Norvell back…;)
