2025-26 College Football Coach Fired/Hired Thread

[GopherGrit]

This is a very underrated hire.

Who is already rating it low?

By the way, I wonder what it is going to feel like for April next year having to sit there and keep your mouth shut as a not even head/main DL coach, but just a "rush ends" coach, when last year you were calling a P4 defense ... while you sit there having to listen to Danny Collins call another 3 man rush?

Nobody put a gun to his head to take the job

Of course not. He needed a job and took our offer voluntarily. That was never in question.

And then, my comment still applies.

He'll have to grit his teeth and bear Collins as the DC, when he knows he could probably do a better job.

Maybe part of April’s duties will be as an advisor for the DC Danny Collins.

Not sure the thoughts or opinions of a former defensive coordinator of a team that went 3-9, 3-9, and 4-8 over the past three years under his watch matters. He should be worrying about improving upon his own failures, not comparing his capabilities to a DC who led the defense of an 8-5 team in a superior conference.
