A small raise coupled with a promotion to showcase himself as a HC should be well-received. In the professional world of coaches and ADs, UB has to be regarded as a great mid-tier stepping stone (as much as we hate that) after the rises of Oats, LL, and our ADs this past decade. Hopefully we can keep one for the long haul soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about how the other 2 happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

promotherobot Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I wonder if a few players from that coach's team might try to portal their way to Buffalo as well? If we can lock this up by early next week we should be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UBlearns Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I won't pretend to know anything about either of these guys, but they both sound like great candidates, on paper. Hoping we can land one, if AD MA thinks it's a good fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Jack is the closest to that at this point. Not sure about how the other 2 happen. She is more like Frank Solich. Let go from a P5 school and may not want to deal with the BS that they want. She can be successful at UB with going to the tournament two or three times every five years and always being competitive in the conference and nobody will want to run her out of town. Try that at a Big 10 school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clodney Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) A big consideration that someone wrote on Bull Run is that Harbaugh is on the hot seat and with another subpar year he could be tossed which would likely mean his assistants are all out as well. In other words, Linguist might be guaranteed $690k this year but we might be able to entice him with a longer term guarantee despite a flat/lower annual dollar amount.

Women's bball salaries are good money, not stupid money. I hope she's here forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecoveringHillbilly Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Right now the coaching roster is updated with Ianello and Kotelnicki still there. I thought Kotelnicki would be gone the same as the others. Wondering if any chance he stays or it is just a matter of time he is off to Lawrence. Burrow, Reed, and Ricumstrict as expected still in board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big10 assistant in a top seat should be attractive to our portal guys. Stay where you know and learn from someone that has coached and played with the big dogs. Very impressed if these are our short list guys. I guess the guy at Sweet Home blew the interview. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChubbyHubby Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I told her, if LL were to offer you 3+ times her salary to go to KU, take it for 2 years and pad the retirement account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UB92 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I have looked up these two candidates and thought about it. On one hand, the MN guy has head coaching experience at Maine...that's something. On the other hand, the MI guy has a lot of "big time" experience as a player (at Baylor) and a variety of coaching stops (including UB, several FBS programs and the NFL). Of course, he was one-and-done at a lot of those spots. I know that is the business if you want to move up, but his family must dread having to keep moving. Getting a head coaching job, I am sure, is something his family would really want (because that would mean he would stay around for a few years...) All totaled, I would prefer the MI guy, so I hope that is the direction they go...and soon...so he can re-recruit some guys who have entered the portal. By the way, I understand why guys go into the portal. When they were being recruited out of HS, it was a big deal to be courted in that way, to post things on social media, etc., etc. It is a good feeling to be wanted. Now, when a coach leaves and no one is at the helm, a few want that feeling back...so they put their name in the portal to see if they get recruited again. Maybe someone will bite. It is now the nature of the beast in college football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually pleased with an O or D coordinator from a P5 program, especially the Big10 since it’s a similar recruiting area we predominately look at. I was concerned we were going to end up with a lower level coach or a band aid choice to stop the bleeding. I also like the mid-30’s energy guys to get our existing players excited and hopefully keep us at our level and improve upon it (MAC CHAMPIONSHIP anyone?)
