That's a fair point. What do we want to move onto as a metaphor, maybe it's just a fucking lepar colony? Leprosy is making a comeback in Florida, I hear.

Thanks for posting this. Because the football board is AIDs. 

Gerry just brought up an interesting point I didn't immediately catch.....Baker is also working pass rush with the edges. Wonder if PK will be focused more macro level of defense and not so much edges like years past?

I like the football board. There's a wider span of humans there and a lot more chaos. This board has almost become too curated.

Wasnt one of Bo's gripes was he wanted to coach the whole line. And his way?  

Idk if that ever happened. But kinda funny the new guy gets the whole line for at least pass rush.

I think his primary gripe was about his guys having to occupy blockers instead of attacking, and we already changed that the last couple years. I don’t remember him wanting to coach edge/OLB, and LSU has a dedicated edge rushers coach so that’s not part of why he left.

Year one Bo was unhappy with how the DTs were being used and wanted to coach the whole line. Once the DTs were allowed to be more active and penetrate more the whole line became less of an issue.
 

I like the returns on Coach Baker so far. Really good energy. Need a coach to bring the juice since PK is more laid back. Baker and Nansen are high energy guys. If Baker gets a guy or two drafted he is going to kill it recruiting.

I know you've mentioned in the past that your connection to the program is (was) through Davis and the assistant DL coaches. Are any of those guys still around?

PK is still working with the edges a good bit but he seems to be able to hand him off for a few periods here and there. Baker has experience coaching the whole group too.

Cross posted for those that do not venture to the Football board.

I can't help but trust Sark's judgement on assistants. Too many homeruns and I'm HAPPILY pretending the Stoops thing never happened. I love the energy and teaching techniques (as opposed to just screaming in a kid's face, which passes for "coaching" at WAY too many places). But most of all, I liked seeing take a stab a developing Broughton's enomous latent potential. If he even partly succeeeds, I'll be a very gruntled guy and Broughton might be drawing an NFL paycheck nexy year as a UFA. Hopefully, he can get Collins to take the next step too. Because, if so, our DL could be almost as filthy as last year but better at pass rushing...

Unlimited Coaches May Soon Become a Reality:

Quote

 

In the deregulation era of college sports, players are getting paid. They have unlimited transfer opportunities. Schools can facilitate their name, image and likeness deals. Any team that wants to use technology such as helmet communication and sideline tablets can use it.

Up next might be the arrival of unlimited coaches.

The Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee put forth a proposal this spring to remove the cap on how many of a program’s staffers can do on-field football coaching, while still limiting off-campus recruiting activities to 10 assistants (or 12 in the FCS) plus the head coach. This would mean hundreds of analysts and quality control coaches around the country could finally coach in practice, bringing a monumental change to the profession.

“The landscape has changed in college football,” said former Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl, who is now executive director of the American Football Coaches Association and sits on the oversight committee. “The competitive equity has changed.”

A similar proposal was quietly put forth more than a year ago after it was discussed by the NCAA transformation committee, and many head coaches expected it to pass, even hiring assistant position coaches in December 2022 with the expectation they’d be on the field. The Division I Council surprisingly rejected it.

Now it’s back, and Bohl and the AFCA are pushing for it hard. It will be voted on by the oversight committee on May 16. If it passes, it will go to the D-I Council again at the end of June.

There appears to be more momentum for it to pass this time. The myth of a completely level playing field is over. Players get paid; who cares if a few extra coaches work on the field in practice? But there are concerns about growing staff salaries and the possibility that the Power 4 will pull more coaches from the Group of 5 like they have with players.

After last year’s Council rejection, no one is 100 percent certain it will pass. If it does, it could further solidify the resource divide within the FBS. But coaches are adamant this needs to happen now.

“This is a hill the AFCA will die on,” Bohl said.

 

The NCAA has limited staff sizes since 1976, an attempt to keep programs’ staff expenses in the same ballpark. In 2017, it expanded on-field staff limits from nine coaches to 10.

The argument from coaches in favor of this change is an obvious one. It means more actual coaching jobs, which will help young coaches grow and provide more chances for older coaches to stick around.

“Man, I’m all for it,” Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire said. “I have some really good young coaches that have come up through GA to QC or analyst and it’d be great for their growth and great for us to let them coach.”

McGuire said his former quality control assistant James Lockhart IV didn’t want to leave Texas Tech but had to for an on-field job, which he got at FCS Texas-Rio Grande Valley in January.

Given the freedom to expand on-field staffs, college football programs would likely follow an NFL model, in which each position group would gain a second assistant, such as an assistant offensive line coach or assistant defensive backs coach. Most schools typically use their four allotted on-field graduate assistant spots for help at offensive line, defensive line, secondary and wide receiver. The change could also create coordinators without position responsibilities and more standalone special teams coordinators.

Will schools put different recruiters on the road, perhaps keeping an older coach at home? The proposal requires off-campus recruiters to regularly engage in on-field coaching. (Service academies would be allowed 14 recruiting assistants.)

There’s also a compliance argument for this to pass: The current rules are incredibly cumbersome and difficult to self-enforce, and it’s common knowledge within the industry that some schools already ignore them, letting an analyst or quality control assistant run special teams meetings. One compliance director told The Athletic that compliance staffs are simply too small and too busy to sit in every position room and monitor what goes on.

 

“One compliance department is not allowing anybody outside the 10 to coach, but another doesn’t look at what they’re doing,” Cincinnati head coach Scott Satterfield said. “The inconsistency is frustrating to the coaches doing it right.”

It’s unclear how this would impact graduate assistants, who are unpaid staffers often beginning their careers with the advantage of being allowed to coach on the field. This proposal also won’t change the Individual Associated With a Prospect rule, which has made it harder for high school coaches to move into college unless they get a full-time job. The IAWP rule will still apply to coaches who are not off-campus recruiters.

The arguments against the proposal start with costs. That’s why the Division I Council rejected it last year, one council member told The Athletic. Athletic directors expect that those quality control assistants and analysts will ask to be paid like the 10 full-time assistant coaches once their duties increase, which could further balloon football costs.

That could especially be true if Power 4 programs hire sitting Group of 5 assistant coaches for these new jobs, which could further accelerate the talent drain already in place with players and the transfer portal.

“It’s going to create more unintended consequences,” Memphis head coach Ryan Silverfield said. “You’re going to see blueblood programs taking more coaches in the Group of 5. If you’re a MAC wide receivers coach making $80,000 and Michigan will pay you $150,000 to be on the field and you don’t have to go on the road recruiting, get to be with your family, a lot of guys are going to do it.”

Few Group of 5 coaches have lost more assistants than Western Kentucky’s Tyson Helton, who has annually replaced several coaches hired elsewhere due to the Hilltoppers’ success. But Helton supports the proposal, saying it would actually help him backfill. When Helton lost offensive coordinator Zach Kittley to Texas Tech, he promoted quality control assistant Ben Arbuckle to coordinator. He would’ve liked to have Arbuckle on the field in a role before he took over that job. (Arbuckle left to become the offensive coordinator at Washington State after one season.)

 

“There’s a lot of value in it,” Helton said.

Some coaches and agents question how much staff movement there will be. If the rule passes in June, you won’t see coaches leaving their teams for new jobs right away before the 2024 season. Many schools already have people in place who were hired with the expectation this would pass. Staffs are already large.

“When I was at the USCs and Tennessees, the complaint from us coaches was that the staff was too big,” Helton said. “You’re walking down the hall and you don’t know somebody’s name. You’re flooded with bodies.”

There is such a thing as having too many coaches. The NFL doesn’t have a limit, but teams usually come in at around 22 or 23 to a staff. Bill Belichick famously had one of the smallest staffs in the NFL every year with around 17 coaches in New England.

“Each person had a defined responsibility (in the NFL),” said Silverfield, who worked as a Minnesota Vikings assistant from 2008 to 2013. “Staffs have grown, but there needs to be one voice in a room. You can’t have four guys coaching quarterbacks. At what point is it diminishing returns?”

A separate large bill is also coming due. Power 4 schools could soon have to pony up tens of millions of dollars to settle lawsuits, including House v. NCAA, and share revenue with players. Texas A&M athletics laid off more than a dozen staffers last month, citing upcoming changes to administrative structure. Schools may not have the money to dramatically grow the staffs they have in place.

Then again, football programs seem to find the money. Administrators hoped that pandemic-related budget cuts would rein in coaching salaries in 2020. They didn’t. Georgia just gave Kirby Smart a raise to $13 million annually.

“Competing for championships, the teams that want to do it will find a way, no matter what,” Silverfield said.

 

Less than a decade ago, the attention was on reining in the explosive growth in off-field coaches, led by Nick Saban’s army of staffers at Alabama. But times have quickly changed. With so many existential crises facing college sports, the NCAA has begun to pull back on the regulations. Players can do a lot more now. Soon, too, could the coaches.

“I’m a lot more concerned about other issues in college football,” Bohl said, “than an assistant quarterbacks coach.”

Former Badgers head coach Paul Chryst makes return to Wisconsin

May 21, 2024 12:51 pm CT

Former Wisconsin Badgers head coach Paul Chryst was spotted at Green Bay Packers OTAs on Tuesday.  It is his first public football-related appearance in the state of Wisconsin since he was fired as Badgers head coach in October of 2022.

The Packers’ optional offseason practice session runs from May 20 to June 6 before mandatory minicamp begins on June 11. Chryst appears to be in attendance as only a spectator as he prepares for his second season on the Texas Longhorns‘ coaching staff.

The longtime Wisconsin head coach holds the title ‘offensive analyst and special assistant to the head coach’ with the Longhorns. He joined the program in 2023 after being fired as Wisconsin head coach the prior season.

Chryst’s first year at Texas saw the team win the Big 12 and make a run to the College Football Playoff. Expectations are sky-high entering 2024, which will be year four under head coach Steve Sarkisian and year two with star quarterback Quinn Ewers under center.

There were offseason rumors connecting Chryst with Iowa’s vacant offensive coordinator position. He opted to forgo the position and remain at Texas, which led the Hawkeyes to hire former Western Michigan head coach (2017-2022) and Packers senior analyst (2023) Tim Lester.

Of note, Chryst is a Madison, Wisconsin native and still has deep ties to the state. His appearance at Packers OTAs, again, marks his first football-related appearance in the state in some time. There has not been a public connection between him and the Badgers program since he was fired 18 months ago.

Wisconsin, meanwhile, prepares for year two under head coach Luke Fickell after a 7-6 2023 campaign. The program is in need of a resurgent season as the Big Ten enters its new era.

Father is Isaac Mooring, new analyst working with DL/OLB. Most recently the DL coach at Houston *Christian* University

Quote

https://hcuhuskies.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/issac-mooring/1019

Prior to HCU, Mooring was the running backs coach at Grand Valley State and saw the group rush for 2,382 yards and 19 touchdowns. He was the defensive line coach at Texas State for the 2017 and 2018 seasons, guiding a pair of All-Sun Belt Conference selections and primarily recruiting the northwest Houston area, as well as Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and junior colleges across the country.
 
Mooring coached the defensive line at Gardner Webb University during the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 seasons, seeing the Bulldogs tie for the conference lead in sacks and two student-athletes earn all-conference honors in his final year. He had three defensive linemen named to the all-conference teams in 2013 and 2015, with one in 2014. During the 2013 season, GWU finished fifth nationally in total defense, 17th in tackles for loss and second in defensive fourth-down conversions. Mooring began his coaching career with the first of five seasons at North Carolina Wesleyan College in 2006, then spent the 2012 season at North Greenville University, before moving on to GWU.
 
Originally born in Seoul, South Korea, Mooring played at Tarboro High School in Tarboro, North Carolina, before playing four seasons at the University of North Carolina. He graduated with a bachelor of arts in interpersonal and organizational communications from UNC in 2003.
