Can anyone confirm that West has been fired?
Itās possible that he may stay on the staff, just not as the DC
Heās an excellent P5 quality position coach but donāt know if we can afford to keep him there. As far as I know the only thing official has been Hunters tweet.
I think that entirely possible.
This is happening.
Kind of awkward to have him still on the staff coaching the defense in a different role, I donāt know how it exactly works in college if a new DC comes in wonāt he want his own DL coach, LB coach and secondary coach? Or does he just have to work with what Healy hasā¦?

He would have input Iām sure but no way DC comes in and cleans house. Would piss off Healys wife on date night losing the girlfriends. I would assume the HC still has full control over coaches.
This could be why we havenāt been able to hire anyone yet. Could definitely turn some candidates away if they canāt have input on who is working under them.
Maybe not. Maybe future DC is told he wonāt ever get fired, only demoted. Our position coaches will eventually be ex-DC.

This is what happens when instead of hiring the best available candidates for a position, you hire all your college buddies from your playing days. It becomes real hard to fire anyone. Absolutely unbelievable that West is still on the staff in any capacity.

Iām tired of Healy dancing around and trying not to offend West. The future of our program is at stake and we need to hire a defensive coordinator immediately for recruiting.

Co-defensive?

Is it safe to assume a āCo-Defensive coordinatorā gets paid less than a āDefensive Coordinatorā? Maybe thatās why there was a money issue for some candidates if that was the issue. And Iād have to assume a āCo-ā setup is not as enticing to most. GTFOOH!

Letās look at the bright side, if he sucks heāll only be here one year. Heck, if heās great heāll only be here one year too. He must be a people person. Should fit in great on the coaches dates night.

Seems like a more experienced guy than Healy usually hires. I think that will help. Not in love with the co-defensive coordinator thing either. I guess there are reasons for it. That is a lot of NFL and P5 experience. I can only pray it is an improvement over last year. The end of the season was downright painful. Hoping for the best.
