Shane's staff: Let's fill in the blanks as we go

I didn’t know anything about Arnett, but after reading about him, he seems like he would be a great hire. 

 
I have to think many of the candidates are looking at Pelini and asking themselves why would they put themselves in that situation.

We have two openings on the Defensive staff, one on the Offensive side. Two is more than one. Ergo, not disingenous.

Coaches that see South Carolina as a desired destination - typically because this is their home state or alma mater - are less likely to leave for a lateral job at a bigger school. That is true even if they are successful here. Continuity with a strong staff is key to success - again, see the stablity of the Clemson staff - and something that we have lacked. Our coaches were always  "from off", as they say in Charleston, and not excited to be here.

Money is an incentive but so is quality of life - like what you have when you are close to friends and family, and a familiar place where you have enjoyed life in the past. I am not saying to scrimp on quality - but if you have two equal candidates, go with the guy that has ties to us.

The problem with Champ is that the players believed in him - and not in the school/teammates. That is why the secondary bailed. You just made a strong argument for recruiting in-state players - the ones that wanted to come here since they were kids, and would be loyal to the school.

I'll have more time to reply tomorrow could you explain what the phrase "true but disingenuous" means to you? To me, it means technically correct but intentionally misleading.

 
Mason seems to be headed to Auburn, per reports - and Bobo is being courted by them as well.

 
Seems we may have a totally different staff than what we thought it Bobo leaves.  I guess it depends on how attached Tanner and Beamer are to him. 

 
Hmmm....not sure if true, but here it is:

Bobo and Friend gone per football scoop

sounds likely...interesting move for Bobo and Friend is non loss since he was never here

I hope that Beamer has a good backup plan

So do I. For sure he has tons of support and connections. If Mike is gone, that clears some $$ to find a decent OC since Mike's pay was up there.

exactly...while I hate to potentially lose Stockton I am ready for a totally new approach....I just want some friggin' offense

 
I made the mistake of going over to the Rivals board to glean any info.  What a mistake that is.  The kids are fighting in the sandbox and a lot are actually calling for us to cut ties with Beamer over Bob and Friend bolting and no DC in place.....  

 
People need to come in off the ledge.  This article by Tony Morell sheds a little light on things.    I do think we will come out of this thing better than we would have had we kept Bobo.  I feel like Shane now gets to make the move he would have originally made.  Time will tell.

Tony makes a good point, but most disturbing about that blurb is Auburn trying to get Des Kitchings......that would be a big loss.

I saw that in there and hope that is not the case, but we can survive if that does happen.  Crazy that Auburn would target that much of one team's staff, especially a team that lost as bad as this team did last year.

Wonder what G.A. Mangus is up to? Seems his name was originally mentioned at the start of this transition. 

 
Realistically Bobo was link to the players that needed to be kept just like Shawn Elliott was, but the assumption could be made that he would have been gone after next season if the wins didn't come.

Shane probably had a deep candidate list before he even interviewed for the job.
