I Think The New HC Will Be Named Shortly After The Game

HarringtonFishSmeller · November 25, 2015

Either a few hours after Saturday's game or Sunday. I just feel that we're pretty close it.

I also am having jitters about the hire. I want a better offense, but am being swayed that a young guy may be too young to turn the entire thing around.

About the future offense, I think we're fine everywhere except quarterback...which is a big exception. Everywhere else, we have have good young talent.
About the future defense, I feel just the opposite. I don't think we've shown good young talent there. Yes, we have two safeties in the Top 10 in the country in tackles...but, when your safeties are making the majority of the tackles, it means the front seven aren't doing a great job.

Special teams seem solid. We are hyper focused on the offense. To me, though, the defense is what really needs a huge boost in terms of talent. If we hire a young coach who is too offensive-minded, does our situation on defense ever get fixed?

To me,the nightmare scenario is Dodge II occurring: We score a lot of points, put up a lot of yards...and, yet, still lose alot of games.

Peace, out.

Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. If it is this early, my bet would be Tuesday.

It shouldn't be right after the game, as the current staff will still be on premises.

Do I think he has any concept of the perception problems announcing the hire of a new coach while the old coach is in the building will bring?

No.

But I do think Smatresk does.

I would think that the announcement would come next week on a slow news day.I don't see how anyone could say that our offense is fine except for quarterback. Our offense sucks, was about the lowest scoring team in Division 1 on about the worst team. This will be a painful rebuild, and I don't envy the brave sole who is about to take our job.

I wouldn't be surprised if it leaked out during the game ... especially if the new coach's team has already finished their regular season.

I went back and read Vito's MGB report and he states that one of the finalists has been told they won't be contacted until after our game ends on Saturday. This probably pushes the timeframe until sometime next week.
