Last time I started one of these, we got a new HC. Since it's pretty much a guarantee we get a new DC next year, who do you want it to be? I personally want us to go after someone that uses a four man front. The 3-3-5 just doesn't work for the players we have. I would go get someone from the old Phil Bennett staff like a Jim Gush. He's currently the DC at Incarnate Word. We seemed to play better in the 4-2-5.

So, do we want staffers from P4 programs like what we did with Caphony or an experienced DC…even from a smaller school?

Experienced. Always go for experienced (at the college level). If you can get both then do that. Wonder if we can get a recently failed HC as a DC. The power programs do it. You can be a great coordinator and a terrible HC.

What’s coach O (formerly of LSU) doing nowadays? Charlie Strong still around?

Colby Carthel would still be my top choice, but

Question is, would a DC for a G5 program be more attractive than being a HC for a D-II program? I wonder how much he makes at SFA?

I would feel safe saying it's not nearly as much as we're paying Caponi. The biggest issue in a case like this would probably be whether someone wants to go from being a head coach to a coordinator.

It’s exactly what Morris did and we hired him…

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      Goal Post Alert

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      Have almost given up trying to figure out time lines with college athletes. Tell me how in the world athletes can transfer three or four times and still be on any path to have the proper amount of hours at a school to graduate. It has become a total joke.
