2015-16 Coaching Carousel

[bamablood6]

I told everyone that Coach Saban would hire someone already familiar with the process.

Saw this on Reddit from a Texas fan explaining why Cumbie did not take the Texas OC job:

Interesting. Years ago, one year at UT would've trumped any number of years at TCU, Baylor, etc. Not anymore.

From Coachingsearch.com: Texas: Tulsa co-offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Sterlin Gilbert has turned down a three-year offer to be Texas’ offensive coordinator, according to ESPN’s Brett McMurphy.

Apparently, Tulsa is a better gig than UT, too.

That may not be the case anymore. Texas is making another run at him.

This is getting interesting to watch. I would never have believed a guy would EVER turn down UT to stay at Tulsa, under any circumstances.

Georgia to hire Jim Chaney to be offensive coordinator

Formerly at Pitt, Arky, and UT.

That's a very good hire by Kirby. Well done.

I'll second that. Been around awhile, from memory pretty conservative, non-spread throw it all over the field type OC. Should be a good fit with UGA.

I think that's generally right, although I'm kind of remembering UT fans thinking he was too pass happy. A problem when Tyler Bray's your QB. Also came up under Joe Tiller, so definitely not entirely conservative.

He brings with him a very extensive background in coaching including 3 years with the NFL Rams. I'm sure he'll do better working under a better head coach like CKS!

 

[CoolBreeze]

Hope he can recruit because he certainly cannot coach.

You are a great poster but I must disagree with this one. He has mentored a lot of young men in his days and was a good DC for us from what I remember.

Don't forget he sued the University when he was let go with Dubose and other staff members. Never had any respect for him before or after.

Well, when you get to be my age you develop total recall. :wink:

Updated the OP with the three open NFL jobs.

 

[Tug Tide]

aTm OC Jake Spavital is now looking for work. Sumlin has 'decided to part ways' with him.
I wonder what role he may have played in the QB fiasco?

Noel Mazzone is rumored to be the leading candidate for the OC slot.
