JoeBags7277 734 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Clay Helton named the coach at USC Interesting... I wonder what the success rate is for hiring the interim coach full time is. Guess USC wasn't up for opening the purse strings this go around. Doesn't happen all that often, at least not in power 5 land. Last one I remember was Dabo at Clemson, and that seemed to work out well for them, unfortunately. Maybe they should do it more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltigger21 0 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 A thought just came to me. Wasn't Dabo on the hot seat himself just a couple or so years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 A thought just came to me. Wasn't Dabo on the hot seat himself just a couple or so years ago? yes. When we were up 14-0 in 2011 the broadcast crew mentioned his possibility of needing a good season to stay employed and i felt sorry for the sumbich briefly. Then he acted like a turd in the post game interview. Ever since i hiped he would get fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Will Art Briles or Gary Patterson ever leave their schools? If the money is right, either would jump at the chance. I do not know why Auburn is not looking at Dick Bumpas, the TCU DC. A game that comes to mind last season was the defensive lock down of Ole Miss in their bowl game. I think TCU's DC is one of the best out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he likes being TCU, and his job is certainly secure, but he was definitely interested in moving up from the Mountain West in 2008. His priorities have probably changed with TCU in the Big 12 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Things will turn out fine for us with our DC hire. I was OK with Kelly, but think it would be an absolute disaster with hiring Thompson as our DC. A very good recruiter and position coach. Leave Thompson right where he is. I think whoever we hire as our DC, should be given the flexibility to bring in his own staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think whoever we hire as our DC, should be given the flexibility to bring in his own staff. The question is will Thompson stay if he's not given the opportunity. I imagine any incoming DC would want to keep someone like LT around given his pedigree, that said I don't think promoting him would be disasterous... Maybe if we hire a nobody, but we should feasibly be bringing in someone who has proven they can coach a defense whether that be from a non power-5 school or FCS level.
