I finally had a chance to read Reynoldâs resume, and itâs impressive. I think heâs going to be a great hire, and a very important one. A solid defense has to start up front.
I think that Albin has assembled a fine staff. Hopefully they will work well as a team, but we wonât know that for awhile.
I thought Biff had some impressive hires but that didnât get us anywhere,
This seems like an overall better staff with no high school coaches or analyze running the defense.
Brew but not really anybody else with experience
A coaching staff is like any other organization; you want good people, but you also need an environment where they can each do their best. If everyone works together well, the sum will be greater than the parts. In this case, most of these coaches have never worked together, so it may take awhile to get them all on the same page. Thatâs why it was encouraging to me to hear the high school coach comment about how they were all working together so well. In the long run, though, what matters is results.
Apparently Vince Reynolds is a replacement for David Denham. Denham didnât stay long at Charlotte, and has moved to join Poggi at Michigan:
Hey guys. Do we have a General Manager for our football program?
Negative. I donât think that is in the current plan$.
I think this board should be the general manager for the entire AD. We all seem to have all the answers and solutions. 
Glad someone said it, because I thought the exact same thing. Lotâs of Vince Lombardiâs and Dean Smithâs on this board.
clt says dean smith is a great football manager
Ohio announced their HC is on leave.
âHead Coach Brian Smith will be on leave for an undetermined period of time beginning December 1.â
This shocked everyone, and there is confusion with no answers to if its a medical thing or if he is leaving to get a new job.
Ohio announcement: Ohio University Names John Hauser Interim Head Coach of Ohio Football - Ohio University
Any chance he could be paid more here as an associate head coach/offensive coordinator than he was paid at Ohio?
Just found this:
| Position | School | Reported Salary Range |
|---|---|---|
| Head Coach (Brian Smith) | Ohio University | ~$850,000/year |
| Offensive Coordinator (UNC Charlotte) | UNC Charlotte | ~$400,000â$500,000/year |
I think this yearâs OC owes us a refund. Although he didnât have much to work with after the injuries kept piling up.
I hope we havenât paid either of our last 2 offensive coordinators that much. If we are paying Mike Miller $500k to sit at home thatâs probably the biggest waste of money ever by our AD and thatâs saying something.
