[Get Nasty]

You think we should take the opinions of Marcus Freeman and Urban Meyer over the opinions of posters on this board? Whoa.

The head coach at Troy says hi

The Netflix series on Mayer and Florida says hi hi

I don't know. I was kind of looking forward to what Get Nasty could do in the role.

Absolutely. Our resident know it all would have been great.

Correct…but a little context:
Worked at Texas -- gone when Herman was fired.
Worked Jacksonville -- gone when Meyer got fired
Worked at Vegas -- gone when McDaniel got fired.

Coaches on their way out often change coordinators as a last chance move. If a coach is stuck as a travelling fireman he might be in a lot of difficult situations. I used to play annual Where in the World is Diaco?

Good coordinators/coaches do survive coaching regime changes though. The fact that he was never retained by the next coach is a bit of a troubling sign IMO.

College head coaches are like professional GMs (in any sport)...they are more than likely to bring in their own guy sooner, if not later...this is especially true if a program is one of your favourite high-valuation, high-revenue programs where there is little financial incentive to keep members of a previous regime to reduce expenses...

In other words, don't sweat it...

This is not how you respond when losing in a NC game … this is how you prevent yourself from getting to one before the season starts

Ash strikes me as a guy you can win with but not necessarily win because of.

The entire notre dame program strikes me that way. It's like the entire university is on a mission to create the most vanilla top 10 college football team in existence incapable of winning anything at the highest level.

It can't be an accident with how good ND is at accomplishing this goal.

I'll have to disagree on that one. Most coaches want their own guys. Sarkisian brought in a whole new staff at Texas, guys he worked with at UW and Alabama.. Usually you only keep guys when the front office makes it a condition, which to me is a sign of weakness on the HC candidate.
