2025 DC Wish List

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?

He makes about $260k at SFA, $215k less than Caponi.

I think the G5 DC spot is more attractive. It would put a bigger spotlight on him. I'd imagine G5 coordinator to G5 HC is more common than D2 HC to G5 HC. It could also get him a spot as a P4 coordinator but he's not making a D2 to P4 jump without first going G5. Just needs to get a foot in the FBS world as a DC to open more doors.

Edit to direct the D2 stuff. He's an FCS HC, not D2. I think the point still stands.

Caponi has been fired. What a terrible experiment this was.

Must be an experienced DC or head coach from lower division. Hopefully Morris will have enough confidence in himself to hire an experienced coach and let him run that side of the ball. My personal choice will continue to be Carthel.

My fear is Morris goes with a young inexperienced coach. I hope Mosley puts his foot down on this hire.

I would like to follow the Indiana model of recent success with Cignetti from James Madison. Hire a successful DC that has a winning environment and bring a bunch of his defense with him.

This is from Dave Campbell’s I struggled to insert the link.

SFA DC or HC would work for me. That SFA defense had some studs on it.

This is a major hire for the program. No more giving GA’s their first opportunity as position coaches. We need a lead dog in the pack since we’re just chasing our tails.
