Curious move....guessing nice pay bump.

Opens the door for Arthur Moats to step in.

(just kidding...well, sort of)

good luck to him.

Best of luck.

Good luck to him, but that’s enough defections.

Why would he move to CUSA from CAA?

Dukeman2 will let us know if the next five to ten posts.

Agreed...Two is enough for now.

Good luck to Coach Thweatt. (though I hated saying your name aloud)

It’s a shame to see any of our coaches leave, but we will be fine. I have to think that positons on this staff will attract many high-quality applicants right now.

Yeah, Madia's article stated that the decision on the OL coach should be soon and Houston stated that he had a ton of great candidates. In regards to the coaches that left he seemed to intimate that the Thweatt move was what it is, but that Stiney obviously had a no-brainer. Also stated that he and many of the other coaches had offers and are not making a move.

Because it's a huge step up in competition and perception.

Maybe reality is setting in with you guys, I'm not sure.

He's going to a lesser program and city, but it's likely a nice pay raise. Good luck to him.

Would love to get Marshall on the schedule in lieu of a Norfolk St, Robert Morris, etc.

More like in lieu of NC State and WVU.

He's going from a Sagarin schedule strength of 151 to 122. Not exactly a "huge step", especially in light of the "perceived" difference in classification.

The reality is that Marshall can afford to pay a bit more, plus it checks a box that some coaches find necessary in hiring future coordinators.

Marshall's new OC is Tim Cramsey, who was SHSU OC last year.

Glad they didn't lure DK away. Have a feeling our offense is going to look a lot more powerful this year, especially in the run game.
