NCBull Posted November 8, 2022 Group: Member Topic Count: 112 Content Count: 8,159 Reputation: 864 Days Won: 8 Joined: 09/25/2008 Share Posted November 8, 2022 As I ponder how much time to waste in the workweek on coaching rumors and Twitter, I realize this HC search is different from any we’ve had for football, isn’t it? Mid-season, with an interim who the players know (and presumably like, otherwise why put him in it). So there isn’t necessarily the late season carousel rush we’ve experienced in the past…we can afford to wait or even simply take our time if we want. I wouldn’t think that’s a reason to not hire the right person if we find them, but we can also wait for dominoes to fall, or maybe see how our interim does on the job. Has anyone heard from MK or anyone else about timeline on the search? If not, speculation? I’m sort of thinking we might want to slow play this a bit, maybe. Not sure I have much faith in the AD staff at the moment, but I guess this is the moment when they could change that… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are well qualified coaches out there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of recruiting, it will be nice if we can bring this new coach in to salvage our recruiting class. December 21st is early signing day and Jan 15th is the official. But I rather MK make the best choice rather than rush it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would assume there may be a handshake deal that everyone knows about but nothing formally announced until after the UCF game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Prato is signed as the special teams coach, not head coach If VPMK goes with an available coach (Rhule, Frost, Herman, etc), I would think that person starts immediately, potentially even coaching any remaining games (why wait after all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season is over, it doesn't do us any good to have a new coach coming in and trying to bend to the current staff and systems, they should get the opportunity to start fresh when they take over the actual on-field duties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, no possibility of bringing recruits committed at the other schools should we hire a guy coaching somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
