Off-season staff changes

let me make sure I have this right the current athletic Director will get fired because of the football coach, despite having the best overall men’s athletic program in all of the United States of America

nothing matters to the university president except football. Is that true?

 

Massive staff turnover would send a message that things are bad, I just don't see Napier thinking it's time to do that, maybe one of two coaching changes, no OC or DC changes.

 

New OC and scrap his BS offense too.

 

New OC in place of OL coach and hire a real strength coach are #1 and #2

 

In case anyone trusts this staff David Reese at Cal had 4 tackles 3 sacks tonight and was dominant, he was hurt a bunch here but probably could've used him here.

 

You’re giving Stricklin too much credit. Nesty was here long before Stricklin arrived. Other than possibly Golden, all of Stricklin’s hires who weren’t already on campus have been utter failures.

He has a unique eye for mediocrity and a high probability of finding it.

 

I don’t care who the offensive coordinator is if our OL play doesn’t improve they will not be successful. I don’t know if it’s the X’s & O’s or Jimmy’s and Joes but we have to get better up front. Max didn’t have much time to process the field last night.
That could be argued for our defense too but I think we are in much better shape going forward there.

 

For me its a special team coach. If he doesn't do that then Im 100% on the fire Billy bandwagon. Offense I would describe as borderline good. Yeah I see the need for an OC. But its not near the priority that special teams is for me. I called it during the Utah after the Jersey BS game that our Special teams was gonna lose us a game outright at some point given how undisciplined and disjointed they were. During the Arkansas game that came true. That field goal would have been good 5 yards closer, which we lost due to the penalty, and we shouldn't have had a chance to kick it at all because the entire freaking special teams ran out on the field when Mertz had to spike it, which counts as a substitution and by rule, Arkansas should have been given a chance to sub and force a run out of the clock in the process.

An OC may or may not help depending on the quality of the hire. A special teams coach of even a good high school quality and were going to a bowl game. This is so fundamental that its painful to think about the fact that we even have to address it.

 

I'll believe it when I see it. IMO Napier we be just like Mullen in this department.

 

I wonder how we would have done if Spurrier had called the last 5 games?

Since the OL did so poorly, Napier might bring in a third OL coach.

 

this is a zero sum equation? and what business does someone get zero credit or 100% credit and nothing in between?

oh that’s right Covid never happened

under his stewardship, this has happened, with bad football hires, but excellence everywhere else.

most people on this website couldn’t manage an athletic department in a high school, but somehow are geniuses when it comes to firing the A.D. of a $100 million plus athletic association
