Pay better attention. Those who don't know about Tyson Helton, his dad, or his brother probably shouldn't be critical. Bobinski certainly knows more than you do.
He was extremely mediocre at USC as both an OC and a HC. His only upside is that he worked for Kiffin...
He has some name recognition. He wouldn’t be the HC. Yeah, he has been around the Kiffin system. That would be a plus. He impressed the USC brass to get that job but he turned around and didn’t 😀.
When you have the talent that USC gets, and you can't win with that, you're not a very good coach...
Clay Helton is the head coach as GA Southern and is doing OK. He won't be leaving for an OC gig here.
This is one of the reasons I'm not excited by the prospect of Helton. I haven't read anything about how good of a recruiter he is, and I can't imagine he'd instill a ton of excitement around the program/with recruits.
That will depend on the Boilermaker Alliance.
Georgia Southern has a pretty strong football tradition for a non-flagship university. Hard to judge the guy based on one year, but a three-win turnaround in one year is nothing to sneeze at.
My point was that he was 4-8 at USC, where basically you have to try to not recruit and you still get top players. You can't win in that environment and you're not really all that good.
This is so important and think it gets overlooked to much here. It's exactly why Colorado hired Deion. Bring kids in to talk to Deion and then they see that stadium and they're sold. Purdue needs some coaches that can get kids in and sell them on the school.
As I look at a committee the bigger it is, the more potential you have for leeks. If you have the AD making the decision alone, there are only two people who would know. The coach and the ad. And yes the agent and guy to draw up the contract as well.
I'd be shocked if any AD ever makes a decision of this magnitude on his or her own. There is undoubtedly a search committee of some kind.
NO. They probably didnt even have to pick up the phone. I am sure Jeffs agent knew who to call and when.
Can you really not see that the two situations are not exactly alike?
I'm sure they did. Public universities have to follow certain hiring procedures. In this case, it's probably true that everybody understood the direction the search was going to take.
Not saying it won't happen. But, haven't we seen Wikipedia hoaxes before?

I saw somebody brought this flight up on Twitter....Anderson is close to Clemson though....and not the USC campus in Columbia. Would be rather sneaky though.
