GOOD

In a year that requires immediate improvement on the defensive side of the ball, I think pulling in an entire staff and a handful of players who already know the system and one another is likely one of the most efficient ways to do it.

Looking forward to seeing if they can pull off the big defensive turnaround in 2025!

I’ll probably get downvoted, but that’s the way it should be in my opinion…for both players and coaches.  Finish out the season that you signed on for.

I have no problem with the assistants. OK, with Cassity sticking by his guys, I hope it doesn't take too much time away from his Portal recruiting.

Perhaps this could even solidify the defensive players coming with him. “I’ll stick with you if you stick with me. “

I see it as a BIG positive that Cassity had a chance to cull the staff he brought with him from SHSU.  It looks like he brought all the defensive side.  If he didn't like a work-effort or personality of someone he could have not invited them.  They know each other and will jell faster as a coaching unit than if all were new coaches to each other.

I was part of some of this dialogue in another Cassity thread.  Sorry for all the tagging!

Anyone know if Cassity is in Denton?  I heard he might be a consultant for the bowl game.  He’s probably at the practices, right?

I haven't heard anything official and the water cooler conversations said, he's probably going to follow through at SHSU through their bowl.

Well that would be poor negotiating on the part of our AD.

Almost a month of player evaluation? Installing the 4-2-5 now instead in spring? Remember coaches can’t work directly with the team outside of the official practice schedule during the offseason, only the S&C team. These next few weeks as the team prepares for its bowl would help him figure out who should stay and at which positions he most urgently needs to upgrade or add depth.

I doubt SHSU wants to keep an ex-coach around to possibly recruit their kids to his new program?   

I bet he got locked out of access as soon as he cleaned out his desk and resigned.

Even after he was hired as HC at Houston, Tom Herman coached out through his bowl game as OC at Ohio State.  For assistant coaches moving to other assistant positions, it's more common to finish out the season (and postseason) at their previous schools, although not universal.

I feel if KC Keeler (the HC) was staying at SHSU that Cassity might not be coaching in their Bowl.  But because ALL the coaches are leaving, nobody cares if players get recruited away from SHSU.

Here is an update on the SHSU HC search:  (several power program coordinators mentioned)...
