If I was ECU I would hire the high school corch from Arkansas who never punts and always kicks onside kicks before I hired Hoke or Edsall
Jeremy Pruitt is now the defensive coordinator at Bama.I knew that was going to happen.So now you have on that sideline Saban,Kiffin & Pruitt? Oh boy lol
You can dare to dream.Schiano will be the head coach in waiting, right?
Someone has to want to be the OC at Texas, right?

Schiano to Ohio State as DC
Schiano wouldn't go back to Rutgers as HC but would go to OSU as DC? Or it's not like that?
It has been repeatedly confirmed that he passed on the UCF job. He tried to slowplay us to see what Miami would do, and so we moved on to Frost. I'm happy how that played out, because he's basically O'Leary Jr.

Brady Hoke having second interview with ECU tomorrow.
Sweet. Room just opened up on my couch.
So in other words,WVU had an easy schedule at home & still finished the year with a losing season? WTF is going with your team & I know it's something else beside the coach
Yes, but you'll have to replace the couch now, anyway, right?
As for BYU, I think they really need to get either Anderson (Stanford DC), or Sitake (OSU DC). If they can't get either of those guys, they might be in trouble in the future.
He's 28, so that would make him the youngest coordinator in D-1, wouldn't it?
He is taking his whole offensive staff with him so they will run the same thing BYU does. Sadly not anything close to LaVells offense.Whoever Mendenhall gets as the OC,I hope they run the LaVell Edwards WCO
BYU is a sinking ship regardless of who they hire. I think Bronco took them about as far as they can go without being in a conference. Bronco realized it and moved on.As for BYU, I think they really need to get either Anderson (Stanford DC), or Sitake (OSU DC).

He's obviously a good coach, but he knows and runs the option. It's hard for option coaches to do anything else. I don't think BYU can be nationally competitive with an option offense. I love the option, I wish more teams ran it, but I don't think it will work at BYU.I'm curious why you think that only those two would be good for the future? Why would Niumatololo NOT be good for the future?

Anderson, on the other hand is a top recruiter and great defensive coach. He can capitalize on what BYU is now built to do well, play defense. The kind of recruits that BYU can now recruit well are better suited for defense.
The landscape of CFB has really changed in the past decade, and it will be an uphill battle for BYU. They are falling behind other P5 schools in money and recruiting, especially Utah. BYU has to command the in state talent to have a chance, so they can't be second fiddle to Utah and stay nationally relevant.
Wonder how big that buyout will be when they fire him next year.
Problem is they can't get that kind of talent anymore. I think Bronco had the right blueprint and it's similar to Utah, recruit to your strengths, polys and defense. Build defense first and tailor the offense to the best QB you can recruit. BYU is great at recruiting QBs as they have a history there. Problem is even with a good QB they just can't get enough good players in the skill positions to really maximize their QB advantage. It's even harder now that Utah doesn't suck anymore and the Pac 12 is much more active recruiting Utah. USC and Stanford have gotten the best Utah kids for a few years in a row.Well, the current offense doesn't really work imo. I don't see him going flexbone at BYU. Instead, I think you'd see a pistol based offense that has some option concepts. But I think regardless that BYU needs to get back to the LaVell offense that maximizes the sort of talent you have.
