Yup, FCS head coach, position coach, or some some of analyst job (like Sabanās Disciples but elsewhere) are his 3 paths.

Heās got almost 2 million reasons not to. Heās super young, has kids he can be a more present dad towards. I can see him waiting until his buyout is almost over to take up a coaching role
I would think he needs to jump back in soon. The longer he is out the further back what success he has had is/. If he wants a head job itās gonna have to be FCS.
I think heās probably realizing his limited options. Probably doesnāt want a position coach role at a P5 or even G5 level, but also doesnāt want to step back down to the FCS ranks. His resume is a weird one.
IMO he needs to swallow his pride take the P5 position coach role, learn recruiting better, learn X and Os better and be prepared to move up the ranks in a more traditional way now.
clt hopes the best for him. maybe a qb coach at a SEC school?
He wants a media relations job at Clemson

Will seemed to take the firing personally. His comments on the radio clearly showed he felt wronged. I know some folks who were friends of Willās and they said he was pretty upset. So while he might be getting paid I am sure he is watching all of this unfold like someone would when an ex goes and gets married.

Well, maybe he should have treated his ex better.
Will was a gamble, and we lost. Biff is also a gamble, but by the looks of it, he has succeeded at everything he has ever done. Some people just donāt know how to fail. I feel much better about the Biff hire than I did about the Healy hire. Both were WTF hires the days the news broke.

Agreed. Forcing players to show positive body language and filming them during practice to critique seems less important than creating a positive environment where players are genuinely excited and show it naturally.
Transactional versus Transformative.
Best of luck to Healy. But this 2023 class is a historical and this fan base is excited in a way we havenāt seen since 2013. I could frankly care less what Healy feels or thinks. He was a rough draft of a head coach who set the program backwards.
I liked Will but he basically fired himself by putting a sorry ass product out on the field. You donāt get torched by a bad team like FIU on homecoming. The team wasnāt prepared and some of the better players (ex. Camp) didnāt see playing time which is a poor reflection on Healy and his staff.

Iāve known many people in my life that have been let go from pretty good positions of employment. Iāve only known one that admitted he had it coming.
Of course Healy thought he was wronged, itās human nature

He also thought he would win the last 4 games.

I mean on one side dont you always want a coach that thinks he an win? On the other side gotta have a coach that understands you have to do some hard work to win too - it aint all feel good stuff.
If Healy was as good as he thought he was, he would already be on a staff somewhere. He is a good person, I have no doubt, but really lacked football coaching skills to be somewhere above high school level.

He got us to our first bowl game and win over a P5 team, so he wasnāt all bad. It was just time to move on.
