AUFiend 67 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 At this rate, either the hires have already been made and we're just waiting to announce since the hires may have current obligations, or CHF is getting turned down by multiple coaches for other jobs. i don't really see what the holdup is unless it's one of those 2 reasons and if it's the second reason, then that's not a good look at all.

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Well now we know why we have not seen anyone named yet. Many of these names are at the top of our board and it looks like they are taking other jobs. I know Kelly was interviewed and was one of the top players for the DC job. Deion… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to JGT on Rivals, Kelly and TWill were our top 2 at DC (or at least the ones that he Knows were interviewed for the job). Either we found someone else - which has not been announced for some reason - or we are not winning these coaching battles. Let us see who he names in the next two days. If we do not have a DC coach by Friday, then we are in trouble. we have OVs this weekend. Edited December 7, 2022 by gr82b4au 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't personally believe there's any strategic advantage to not announce otherwise. either we have our guy or we're still looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topher 1310 10 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I need someone to sell me on Zach Arnett. The cowbells have never been top 50 in scoring defense under him I believe.

TeamZero77 1,784 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I just don't understand why everyone is freaking out because WE don't know if they've hired the staff yet. They'll announce it when they announce it. Alot of people act like they've got to know every single thing that's going on at every second. It's like it's more entertainment to alot of our fans than actually getting the hires right. It's the "microwave generation" we now live in where everybody is accustomed to having instant results and can't wait for anything. Just have some patience for once. If we have learned anything from our new president, new AD and other new hires it's that everything is tight lipped until THEY are ready for the public to know. Most of our fanbase have asked for leaders like this and now it seems we have them so let them do their thing. WDE 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUnCullman 601 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Im not sure if I can post this here or what so apologies in advance but I was watching The War Rapport and they brought up a good point regarding DC in the fact that since McGriff is CO-DC, then its probably not a big name DC but a younger guy with less experience which makes sense to me. But it is pure speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
