This is underwhelming...

Sources: Bryan Harsin is working on hiring away a current SEC offensive coordinator

By Doug Samuels -  January 6, 2021

Sources tell FootballScoop Bryan Harsin is seeking to bring South Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Bobo in for the Auburn offensive coordinator position.  Bobo was retained by new Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer, and just two days ago had a new 2-year deal worth $1.2 million annually approved by the board of trustees, but sources tell FootballScoop that Auburn is seeking to hire Bobo for the offensive coordinator position on Bryan Harsin’s new staff.

Prior to landing the offensive coordinator job at South Carolina, Bobo spent five seasons as the head coach at Colorado State, where he went 28-35 overall.  Bobo is best known for his time at Georgia. A quarterback for the Dawgs himself (’93-’97), Bobo went on to serve as quarterbacks coach from 2001-06 and then offensive coordinator from 2007-14.  After the dismissal of Will Muschamp at South Carolina, Bobo filled in the final three games of the season as the interim head coach.

Thus far Harsin has brought his strength coach (Jeff Pitman) and chief of staff (Brad Larrondo) from Boise.

Another FBS offensive coordinator joins Baylor staff  By Zach Barnett   Jan 5, 2021

On Tuesday Baylor announced Ryan Pugh will be the Bears’ offensive line coach and Chansi Stuckey the team’s wide receivers coach.  Pugh was most recently the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Troy and has an extensive history working under Grimes.  The pair first linked up at Auburn, where Grimes was the Tigers’ offensive line coach and Pugh an All-SEC performer and a Rimington Trophy finalist for the nation’s top center on the 2010 national championship team.  Pugh quickly moved into coaching as Grimes’s GA at Auburn in 2012 and later worked under Grimes at Virginia Tech, LSU and BYU.

“I’m thrilled to add Chansi and his tremendous energy to our staff,” Aranda said. “I am fired up to see the environment that he is going to create with our wide receivers. I look forward to all the possibilities of what he can bring to our program with his communication skills, his heart and his boundless energy. Having played the position in the NFL and having experience with the receivers at Clemson, he is going to be a truly great addition to our program.”

 

Something happened ???

Good for him. Of all the departing members of Turtle Toms staff on O, he’s the one I harbor the least resentment for. Dude was brought in to help save a sinking ship and then got consistently boned by Herman. I wish him luck, but too bad he couldn’t go somewhere else besides pedo state..

I heard Rick Neuheisel, who apparently knows Peetz well, do everything he could to say that this was a bizarre and terrible hire for LSU - without actually saying it. This was on Full Ride with Childers yesterday morning. He had a compelling argument for what he was *not* saying but saying.

DAMN... 

Sources confirmed to FootballScoop that Freeman’s new deal once finalized would take the coach from a roughly $600,000 salary at Cincinnati “far closer” to the $2 million range.

Sources tell FootballScoop the term sheet is expected to be finalized today.

Sources: Florida poised to upgrade secondary with veteran assistant

By John Brice -    January 7, 2021

Florida’s back-end overhaul of its defensive secondary is a step closer to completion.  Sources tell FootballScoop the Gators are preparing to hire Wesley McGriff away from Southeastern Conference rival Auburn to work with the secondary.  Dan Mullen retained defensive coordinator Todd Grantham after the season concluded last week but parted ways with Torrian Gray and Ron English immediately following the team’s Cotton Bowl loss.

In McGriff, Florida is poised to add a veteran coach with deep-rooted SEC connections. McGriff’s logged time as defensive coordinator at Ole Miss and recruiting coordinator at Vanderbilt, among other coaching stops. He also had a four-year stretch at Miami earlier in his career, strengthening his recruiting ties in the Sunshine State. Crimedawg also spent three years coaching defensive backs with the New Orleans Saints (2013-15).

The Gators continue also have an opening for safeties coach. Among candidates mentioned to potentially round out the Florida defensive staff are former Louisville, South Florida and Texas head coach Charlie Strong, Chris Ash, most recently the Texas defensive coordinator, as well as Pittsburgh’s Cory Sanders.

Sources tell FootballScoop Dan Mullen would like to have both hires finalized in the coming days.

Sources: South Carolina’s new offensive coordinator to come from Carolina Panthers

By Zach Barnett -   January 7, 2021

After losing his offensive coordinator to Auburn earlier today, Shane Beamer needed 24 hours to line up a replacement.  Marcus Satterfield will be the offensive coordinator at South Carolina, sources told FootballScoop on Thursday night. Joe Person and Josh Kendall at The Athletic also reported the same.

Satterfield spent 2020 as the assistant offensive line coach for the Carolina Panthers and previously worked for Matt Rhule at Baylor and Temple, sandwiched around a 2-year run as the head coach at Tennessee Tech in 2016-17.  Incidentally, Satterfield is the third offensive assistant Rhule has lost in the past two days. Jake Peetz and DJ Mangas left to take over the offense at LSU.  

Satterfield has previously coordinated offenses for Temple, East Tennessee State, Chattanooga and UT Martin. He initially worked with Beamer at Tennessee from 2002-03, when both were graduate assistants under Phillip Fulmer.  He will inherit a Gamecock offense that finished 10th in the SEC in scoring (23.5 points per game) and yards per play (5.35). Ironically, South Carolina earned those marks under the man that was set to coordinate them again in 2021 until today — Mike Bobo.

Pretty soon teams are going to be hiring the Carolina Panthers' janitors to OC positions.

An update on Steve Sarkisian’s defensive coordinator search at Texas

By Zach Barnett -   January 8, 2021

Steve Sarkisian will remain on the job as Alabama’s offensive coordinator through Monday night’s title game, and as such no formal announcements on his new Texas staff are expected until Tuesday at the earliest.  But that doesn’t mean all is quiet on the western front.  Sources tell FootballScoop that Dan Quinn and Zach Arnett are candidates to be the next Texas defensive coordinator.  

Quinn is, of course, the former Atlanta Falcons head coach, who has been unemployed since his Oct. 11 dismissal following a five and a half year run in Atlanta that saw the club reach the cusp of its first Super Bowl victory in 2016.  For two of those seasons, new Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian was Quinn’s offensive coordinator. Kyle Flood, expected to join Sarkisian in Austin, was also a member of Quinn’s Falcons staff 2017-18.  Quinn has spent most of his career at the NFL level, but did serve as Florida’s defensive coordinator under Will Muschamp for the 2011 and ’12 campaigns. The Gators finished eighth and fourth in yards per play allowed under Quinn’s direction.

In addition to Sarkisian and Flood, Quinn also worked with Bo Davis, who is a possibility to become Texas’s defensive line coach. Quinn was the Miami Dolphins’ defensive line coach in 2006, with Davis as his assistant D-line coach.Quinn is also connected to Blake Gideon through Muschamp, who coached Gideon at Texas and employed him at Florida and Auburn.  After leaving Florida, Quinn coordinated Seattle Seahawks defenses that won the Super Bowl in 2013 and came within a play of repeating in 2014.

Arnett, 34 years old with all of one year’s experience outside the Mountain West Conference, does not have the connections of Quinn, but his year as Mississippi State’s defensive coordinator quickly won him admirers in the SEC. In fact, sources tell FootballScoop that new South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer flew to Starkville in an unsuccessful attempt to woo Arnett.  Mississippi State improved from 12th to fourth in the SEC in yards per play and from 12th to sixth in scoring. Arnett chopped 12 percent of State’s scoring average and 18 percent off their yards per play average (SEC games only) — while receiving little help from their offense. Mississippi State posted better numbers in 2020 while defending seven more plays per game than 2019.

A former New Mexico linebacker and San Diego State assistant, Arnett’s success at Mississippi State has helped legitimize Rocky Long’s 3-3-5 in the SEC. Iowa State has utilized a similar scheme to vault toward the top of the Big 12, and Baylor used a 3-down front to success in their run to the Big 12 title game in 2019.  “We hope it’s unique and difficult to prepare for,” Arnett said last year. “I do think you’re seeing more multiplicity, variation in schemes that teams are running, you are seeing more 3-3-5 looks, a lot more of it on third down than on first or second, but with the purification of the spread and teams going sideline to sideline, there’s been an effort by defenses to get more athletes on the field and guys that can run and cover space.”

Mississippi State ranked fourth in the SEC with 3.55 yards per carry allowed, a near yard-per-carry improvement from 2019. Mississippi State also improved from 12th to sixth in pass efficiency defense, a requisite to compete in the Big 12.  Arnett signed a 2-year contract upon his arrival in Mississippi State and agreed to a contract extension last month, but reports indicate Texas is not shy about paying up for Sarkisian’s staff.

On the topic of contracts, interest from Texas and others prompted Arkansas to offer Hogs defensive coordinator Barry Odom a significant contract extension.

No doubt about it, given all of the demand this off-season, ’tis a great year to be a defensive coordinator.

Auburn: Houston cornerbacks coach Zac Etheridge is a strong candidate to be Auburn’s defensive backs coach, tweets AL.com’s Matt Zenitz. He was a captain on Auburn’s 2010 title team. Update> We can confirm Harsin is hiring Etheridge. 

Auburn: Cadillac Williams is being retained as running backs coach, the school has announced.

Idk where to post this anymore how crazy is it that the real reason we lost Urban might be the freaking Jacksonville Jaguars (although I do like the Sark hire)

More on topic, rumors that he's pulling together a potential staff including some college assistants. Wonder who he'd take with him.
