Look on the bright side, they're just trying to help you get a new coach.

 

If you want to keep him, hurry it up and send him a pic of LR's "brisket." He'll think twice.

Why didn't UCLA stop the B1G move if they weren't committed to football? Flying to New Jersey to get your face kicked in...why?

Outstanding hire

Welp, this is what happens when you get good. 

 

 

Syracuse gets a good recruiter has new head coach -- Fran Brown (Jawja DB coach).  

Before joining coach Kirby Smart’s staff at Georgia, Brown spent most of his career in the Northeast at Temple and Rutgers. He also spent two years at Baylor working for Matt Rhule, who is now at Nebraska.

 

😁 And Fran just hired...

 

Don’t worry Elko is already primed with a contingency thats even better than any possible plan A. 

Well shit. Chance to get the next up and comer I guess.
 

 

Good for Choate. This is to be expected. Successful seasons usually lead to coaches being hired away. 

Update >> Clemson has now formally announced these hires.  Steve Berkowitz adds that both got 3-year deals. Rumph's starts at $950k and goes up to $1.1 million while Luke's starts at $975k and goes up to $1.2 million.

Dabo Swinney adding two big hires at Clemson

DOUG SAMUELS     4 HOURS AGO

Last week, Dabo Swinney announced a pair of coaching changes at Clemson leaving open positions on the offensive line and at defensive ends.

Today, multiple reports share that Swinney has made two substantial hires to fill those roles. Chris Low and TigerIllustrated were among the first to share the hires.

To fill the offensive line job, Matt Luke is reportedly joining the staff.

Luke is the former head coach at Ole Miss from 2017-19 where he went 15-21 before he and the program parted ways. Luke, widely regarded as one of the top offensive line coaches in college football, landed on his feet at Georgia  where he would spend two seasons on Kirby Smart's staff at Georgia.

He stepped away from his role on the UGA staff in February 2021, citing a need to spend more time with his family.

On the defensive side of the ball, Vikings defensive line coach Chris Rumph is expected to join the staff as defensive ends coach.

Rumph's is a college coaching veteran who has spent his last few stops in the NFL with the Vikings, Bears (2021), and Texans (2020).

He's previously held coordinator titles in the SEC at Tennessee and Florida and has worked with the defensive line at Alabama and Texas previously.

This is a reunion, as Rumph previously served as Dabo's defensive ends coach from 2006-10 just after he was appointed the new head coach of the Tigers.

The two new additions replace Lemnaski Hall, who made $625k this season, and Thomas Austin who was making $450k.

I wonder then if he brings back his Duke DC, Tyler Santucci, who was also at A&M when Elko was at A&M.

It’s already been reported Santucci wasn’t going with him 

Sources confirm: Notre Dame moving quickly for new wide receivers coach -- Marcus Freeman hiring a familiar face in Mike Brown

JOHN BRICE   22 HOURS AGO

Quote

After Marcus Freeman made the unexpected decision to fire Chansi Stuckey as Notre Dame's wide receivers coach days ago, Freeman now has his new coach for the position.

Multiple sources tell FootballScoop that Mike Brown, who previously coached alongside Freeman at the University of Cincinnati, has been tabbed to fill Stuckey's role with the Fighting Irish.

Matt Zenitz, of 247Sports, was first to report that Freeman and Notre Dame had dialed in their focus to hire Brown.

Brown spent the 2023 season on staff at Wisconsin, where he served as Luke Fickell's associate head coach and wide receivers coach.

Brown and Freeman were colleagues at the University of Cincinnati from 2019-20, when Freeman was the Bearcats' defensive coordinator and Brown was the program's wide receivers coach.

In addition to his duties coaching wideouts, Brown also ascended to become Cincinnati's passing game coordinator.

Brown played collegiately at Liberty, where he served as both a quarterback and wideout; he enjoyed a brief professional career with the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars.

In addition to his work at both Cincinnati and Wisconsin, Brown also has had coaching stops at Michigan, Delaware and Liberty.

Brown was considered for the Notre Dame wideouts job two years ago as well and has an excellent reputation with Cincinnati-area prep coaches. 

Notre Dame is coming off a brutal week in which Freeman moved on from Stuckey and saw a bevy of Irish players either already enter or announce their intentions to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal.

The Fighting Irish on Sunday learned that they would face Oregon State later this month in the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.

But the Irish do have some traction on the recruiting trail and could be poised to land multiple commitments in the coming weeks prior to the onset of the NCAA's early signing period, which runs Dec. 20-22.

 

Was hoping Fritz would buck the trend and stay at Tulane.  
 

Not sure if a move from B/CS to Syracuse is upward/downward or lateral.

Getting a promotion and better job title with a Head Coach (Fran) that E-Rob has coached with before and trusts seems like a good move if the money is similar.

BUSTING THE HELL OUT OF Aggyland is a fuckin' bonus...  😁

Fritz wanted a Power Five job before he retired and he knows the H-Town area from his time at Sam Houston.

This was probably his best shot... but dealing with Fertitty 😂 at UH will be a pain in Fritz ass.

OC at UNM (aka, not the actually good New Mexico school). Not terribly inspiring.

This would be about as good as UNM could do if there's any chance they could entice him out of retirement. 

Wow.  I feel like that’s out kicking UNM’s coverage.   Bronco is solid and deserves to be at a hard-working program that will achieve with underachievers.  UNM football is barely there to pass time until basketball season. 

Mike Elko reportedly set to add two Duke coaches to staff

DOUG SAMUELS       6 HOURS AGO

Mike Elko is reportedly set to add a few coaches from his rebuild at Duke to his staff in College Station.

Elko is set to add Blue Devils offensive line coach Adam Cushing and and corners coach Ishmael Aristide, according to a report from Matt Zenitz.

Cushing left his post as an FCS head coach at Eastern Illinois for an opportunity with Elko at Duke. He spent the past two seasons with the program and previously spent well over a decade on staff at Northwestern working with the tight ends before a promotion to offensive line coach.

Aristide previously worked with Elko at Texas A&M as a senior defensive analyst before following him to Duke the past two seasons where he worked with the corners.

The moves come following the departure of Elijah Robinson to Syracuse, whom Elko had tried to retain as a member of the Aggies staff. 

Stay tuned to The Scoop for the latest.

The New Mexico schools ending up with two of the best program builders in the game is shocking... and pretty cool.

This wouldn't happen had Bronco not had the previous relationship with UNM. He knows what he is getting into.

Thx @texifornia 

Wyoming got their guy.  Nevada and Wyoming in same conference and enrollment higher at Nevada, so Choate might be happier there.

Scenery and location in Reno is amazing.

Crazy this isn't alreadt on this thread... old news, but listening to Kstate $9.95ers they are stunned he chose to go to aggy, and  "it's all about the Benjamins"

Reports: Texas A&M to hire Collin Klein as offensive coordinator

After turning down overtures from Notre Dame and Penn State, Collin Klein is leaving his alma mater to work for Mike Elko.

ZACH BARNETT     9 HOURS AGO

Texas A&M is set to hire Collin Klein as its new offensive coordinator, according to reports out of both College Station and Manhattan on Wednesday.

The move is a significant one for Mike Elko, pulling Klein from his alma mater after he previously turned down overtures from Penn State and Notre Dame.

"The Lord really put it on my heart that there was still work to do here," Klein said after turning down the Irish last year. "My players and knowing that my mission here isn’t done and my guys were really the two things that made me at peace with knowing I was supposed to be here.”

Klein was the Big 12 Athlete of the Year in 2012 -- he came in third to Johnny Manziel in that season's Heisman Trophy voting -- and entered coaching in 2014 as a GA at his alma mater. He began coaching quarterbacks at Northern Iowa in 2016, then returned to Manhattan as QBs coach the following year. 

Klein will bring an emphasis on the run game with him to College Station. K-State finished 15th nationally in rushing each of his two seasons running the Wildcats' offense; Texas A&M finished 79th and 89th over the same time period.

The quarterback run game was a major part of Klein's offense at K-State. Adrian Martinez and Will Howard combined for 146 rushes en route to the 2022 Big 12 championship, and this season Howard and Avery Johnson ran the ball a combined 126 times. 

Whether that continues with Conner Weigman, or whether Weigman and/or A&M seek different alternatives, will be a story to watch in the coming days.
