He parlayed his National Championship game experience as a coach for Washington into coaching WRs in Muncie, IN? Ouch. I wonder why DeBoer didn't bring him with him to Bama...Why not bring him back to Ypsi?

Wasn't he a grad assistant at Washington?

Based on following his instagram i believe he did follow DeBoer to bama and then got a job offer and took it.

He's also from Indiana so maybe wanted to be closer to family.

Slow leak of coaches continues. According to FootballScoop.com Georgia State's head coach Sean Elliot will leave his job to take on a assistant job at South Carolina.

The contracts these coaches sign aren't worth the paper they're written on - but players wanting to transfer is destroying the fabric of the sport.

Lest we forget. It is off season for coaches, but NOT for STUDENT-athletes.

Coaches can move around in Feb. but how can a student, athlete or not???

So coaches don't take new jobs from August - December. At EMU an athlete can't move to a new school from Sept - Dec and Jan. - April. That is before the current semester is complete.

Never heard of Suzy Coed transferring from EMU to CMU in mid-Oct or mid-Feb, but her coach can get a new position.

Solid points guys, to be sure.

The key word here is STRUCTURE. Should there be a cap on NCAA coaching salaries and restrictions on their movement? Hell yes! Honestly, I hate the fact that Nate Oats can sign a 5-year contract extension with Buffalo and have Alabama buy that out days later. Likewise, I despise that EMU feels compelled to sign Stan Heath to a five-year contract, find out that he has lost his fastball, and suffer through two more years with him because they don't have the money to buy him out.

We have become conditioned to be focused on player movement only and it has become ridiculous and detrimental to sport in my opinion. That said, we have also accepted coaching gypsy's as normal behavior. Neither is good for the sport in my opinion.

Per the scoop:
Eastern Michigan: Wake Forest recruiting / personnel intern Desmond Bernard has accepted a defensive graduate assistant opportunity with the program.

Eastern Michigan: Eastern Michigan has an immediate opening for an Offensive Graduate Assistant. Interested candidates should email offensive coordinator Mike Piatkowski at mpiatkow@emich.edu

Eastern Michigan: Eastern Michigan has an immediate opening for a Creative Coordinator within it’s football program. This is a full-time position that is paid hourly and includes benefits. Please send all questions to Associate AD for Football, Jeff Collett at jcollet2@emich.edu.

Also former safety's coach Daniel Bullocks is the favorite to be the new 49ers DC.

Sources share that to fill the DFO role, Temple is hiring Nico Piraino from Eastern Michigan.

Piraino spent one season in Ypsilanti working as Chris Creighton's director of football operations.

Miami (OH): Head coach Chuck Martin has agreed to a five-year extension that takes him through the 2029 season. Martin led the RedHawks to an 11-3 season last fall that included a win over Toledo in the MAC title game.

Chuck is a very good guy, he was an absolute success at GVSU. He took a pay cut to leave his coordinator's job at Notre Dame to be the HC at Miami. Nine full seasons, two MAC championships and one division title are not shabby results.

Yet, he is still at Miami. No P5 or bigger G5 program are interested. So why does a MAC AD offer such a long extension? If Schiano at Rutgers or Lea at Vanderbilt do the Les Miles thing this spring, they MIGHT settle for Martin, and I guarantee he will be gone like the wind. In the meantime, if Chuck decides that the portal and NIL are too much for him, he can push the cruise control button and mail it in until he is in his sixties. A MAC school is not going to buy him out.

Stability is so hard to come by at this level - good for him and Miami for finding something that works for both of them.

Dan, REALLY? Stability in the MAC? Ask WMU and Buffalo how their lockdown contracts worked out with Fleck, Oats and Leipold.

I mean for Chuck Martin. He seems to have found a nice little home for himself - like CC or Solich.

I agree, just your utilization of the word "both" raised my eyebrows.

Chuck is a damn good guy, he took a pay cut for the Miami job. Still, Steve Hawkins was clearly the best MAC Michigan basketball coach in the 2000's. He did, however, lose his edge and his late record reflected that. WMU was forced with a similar contract extension to endure that.
