And the indoor practice facility plus upgrades to W-B and surrounding areas.  All of this helps with recruiting. There's likely more. I defer to others' comments in regards to Muschamp's influence, but Steve definitely had a big impact on all of this.

Not arguing with you Blitz - but how can you be held to a contract after you have been fired? Does it have something to do with a payout, maybe? Curious.

Legal agreements do not necessarily need to be tied to employment. I'm still under a NDA with the last company I worked for. I think it ends soon, but I have worked for them in over 5 years. 

 
I live north of Seattle in University of Washington country, and my daughter is a junior at UW. About 10 years ago you may remember the national story about the scandal of football players who had raped UW students, how the university knew, and let them stay on the team. Why? Because they were in the middle of a Rose Bowl season. And the money that comes into an athletic department when a team is winning big controls decisions about everything. The coach obviously has a lot to do with the success. But it's the athletic department admins - major gift officers and anyone in charge with raising private funds for the department - that make the hay and do the work. Losing teams bring in less money. The "game" is a huge businesss. These are the realities.

I get it, I do. My query (and I really have no idea) is how for example your situation with the NDA might be different if you where fired vs if you left for a new job elsewhere.

No clue from personal experience, but I assume a legal agreement can say anything that both parties agree to that does not violate existing or future law.

True. If you are dumb enough to sign something that says "I allow you to stop me from working someplace even if you fire me," I guess that's on you.

TBH, I'd sign it if it came with more money up front. I'm currently considering signing one that says I can't quit within two years of signing without a huge $ penalty in order to get 4 months paid sabbatical. (just debating how much I want to quit.)

Is being a professional a requirement for posting on a fan site, LOL? 

1. We need a DC and yes, one other defensive position outside the DC. It will be a LB coach or a DB coach - depending on which position group the DC is best at working with. 

2. No flawed analogy - head coach is not a terminal position - or else why are head coaches constantly going to bigger programs, or to the pros?

3.  I would jump for joy if a coach left our school because he did well enough to get a better head coaching job. When has that happened here? Same with position coaches and coordinators - if a position coach leaves to become a coordinator, or a coordinator leaves to become a head coach, that means he dun good. The point is that Stepp wants to be a WR coach HERE - so much that he took a lateral move, and even a chance for more money at Arky. That is what we want - coaches that are motivated and want to be here.

3b. You are taking a mercenary approach to recruiting and player development - same thing that Boom did. Dabs has been successful by preaching family - which has worked with recruiting, player development, and even retention - players like Etienne and Wilkins turning down the pros to come back.  I think he is a total hypocrite, but I gotta admit that his schtick has worked.

And one way to promote unity and team pride is to go after more in-state players - so their families and friends can come see them. It helps that we are an under-rated state for talent and that Clemson is largely ignoring the state in recruiting.

lol, of course not. Lack of professionalism is what I love about your posts. (I was referring to this part of the post you were replying to "To any professional, a job is a job. Who you grew up cheering for only matters to fans."

1. so while true, it is disingenuous to state (as you did) that most of the vacant postions are on the defensive side of the ball. 

2. When your only chance at a promotion is to do the same job at a different, you are in a terminal position by definition. Again, flawed analogy.

3. then why do you care about where they are born?

3b. messaging and truth are most often separated. If they were not there would not be a need for messaging. Which is to say of course Dabo is lying, but he's good at it. He's also not from SC. I also suspect that CSB is not being fully honest with his message of commitment is why I don't want to start this job right away. I've complimented him on the effective messaging, but it smells every bit as much like horse shit as Dabo's family non-sense. I'm hopeful it will be equally effective at attracting recruits.

Clearly, champ didn't fail because he could not get players to believe in him. If that was the case, we would not be looking to replace nearly our entire secondary. All of coaching is about $$$. Why do you think a coach gets a raise when they do well. Its not like they need more money, but the reason to do the job well is to get more money. As a result, schools dish out the money to winners to keep them off the market. Hometown discounts are rare. What SEC team current has a home town HBC that is underpaid?

 
It appears Razorback fans can breath more easily now after recent scares that Razorback defensive coordinator Barry Odom would land as the new DC at Texas and that Jamil Walker would take the head strength and conditioning coach position at South Carolina. While it takes a bit of reading between the lines, it looks like both will remain at Arkansas. (UPDATE: This has now been confirmed. Both coaches are remaining at Arkansas)

One question answered.

 
Mississippi State hired Zach Arnett as its defensive coordinator and linebackers coach on Jan. 22, 2020.

Arnett, a rising star in college football’s coaching ranks, served as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at San Diego State for two seasons (2018-19) where he learned under one of the game’s great defensive minds in former Aztecs head coach Rocky Long. Arnett arrived in Starkville after a short stint at Syracuse where he had been named defensive coordinator and linebackers coach in early January 2020.

Fits a pattern of short stints if we get him but you can't argue with his success, though.

Arnett has spent the majority of his coaching career under the mentorship of Long in San Diego, California, beginning as a defensive graduate assistant in 2011 before being elevated to linebackers coach in 2014 and promoted to defensive coordinator in 2018. 

Arnett, who was selected as a member of the prestigious AFCA 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute in 2020, led a 2019 San Diego State defense that ranked in the top 10 nationally in seven categories. The Aztecs finished second in rushing defense (75.4 yards per game), third in scoring defense (12.7 points per game), fourth in interceptions (18), fourth in first downs allowed (198), sixth in total defense (287.8), sixth in passing efficiency defense (110.25) and eighth in takeaways (27).

In Arnett’s first season at the helm of the defense in 2018, the Aztecs ranked seventh nationally against the run (103.8 yards per game), 13th in first downs allowed (216) and 21st in total defense (334.6 yards per game).

Since the start of the 2018 season, Arnett’s defensive unit has ranked inside the top 15 nationally in:

Rushing yards allowed per game (1st – 89.6)
Rushing yards allowed per carry (1st – 2.9)
Fewest 30-point games allowed (T1st – 2)
Fewest 40-point games allowed (T1st – 0 … one of just six teams)
Percentage of big plays allowed (2nd – 9.2) with only 153 of 1,658 opponent plays gaining either a 12-plus yard run or 15-plus yard pass
Percentage of drives that they kept their opponent from crossing the 50-yard line (4th – 61.3)
Percentage drives that their opponent covered less than 25 yards (4th – 60.1)
Percentage drives holding their opponent scoreless (6th – 76.3)
Points per play allowed (10th – 0.3) and points per possession allowed (10th – 1.3)
Yards allowed per play (14th – 4.9)
