I've never heard of "Deputy Head Coach" before.

Probably like Ratner in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He was the assistant to the assistant manager.

They're there if the Sheriff Head Coach gets shot.

I think this is a very solid hire.

-Ohio native who understands the culture of the state.

-He's been at a lot of jobs so he knows how to quickly adjust. Exposed to different coaching perspectives at those jobs.

How about the money for this hire? Anything official?

No confirmation on this, so take it with a grain of salt.

That figure appears to be accurate. It probably came from The Blade.

Looks like a solid hire.

VT Coach Beemer gave him a glowing review.

Time will tell. Has to be better than Jinks...but that's a low bar.

I think we are seeing MAC salaries level off around 600-700k compensation with the exception of Lester at WMU and Candle at Toledo who are more.

That is plenty enough to attract a good coach.

At the WMU/UM game this year, not far from the stadium, I saw an orange BGSU flag flying in front of house near the stadium. You?

One so rarely sees the word “accurate” followed by “It probably came from The Blade”.

Nada, I just work near Ann Arbor. I live about a half hour due south of Lansing.

CMU & BG both hire offensive minded coaches. In today's game the vast majority of hires are offensive based guys and that goes for the Pro's as well.

"I sacked the Head Coach, but I did not sack the Deputy"

The MAC is in a different era now with new HCs that are getting compensated at least 600k-700k.

Twenty years ago when FCS coaches were making 75k and the MAC was offering 100k a lot of FCS coaches didn't want to screw themselves for a marginal jump and a good chance of being out of a job in 5 years.

Now with the difference of 200k FCS to 600k MAC that is a difference of 400k a year or 2 million over 5 years. That is a no brainer type difference and with the way the MAC is setup where if you have a good team you can be on TV and be in a bowl every year its possible to sustain a longer term program.

For example EMU they are not in a bowl every year but they have the ability to play 6 home games a year and schedule in some CUSA, MWC, SBC, Army, Liberty ect. to pad the win totals. Frank Solich is a master at that program sustainment with Ohio.

Wrong. He's Associate Head Coach/Linebacker Coach. Pelini is the DC.
