Doug Snyder Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 WORSE CASE SCENARIO....we could always make him the recruiting coordinator. It might help keep our current commits and the guy is good at that when he can focus his time on doing so. I don't see keeping our 3 or 4 commits as a major priority. And I don't see Ianello dropping from HC to Recruiting Coordinator. Beyond that, I can't see a new HC wanting the old HC on his staff. Unless we get Charlie Weiss. Supposedly we have 9 verbals. I see what u r saying but I would probably do this if the new coach was ok with it rather than paying him for nothing. Would be difficult for an ex HC to sell the team to potential recruits. And did you ever sell something you did not believe in?? Even if you have good intentions it will come off as insincere. Ex-coaches are like ex-girlfriends and ex-wives. They may be good people and may not have been 100% at fault...but it best to cut ties and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZipperRoo44 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 If a new coach was hired today it would take 2-3 weeks to get assistant coaches processed and on the job. Given the time of year you can add a week to that time frame which puts a new staff on the job no earlier than January 6 - giving them 4 weeks to sell the program. Unless they have been recruiting Ohio already and have relationships this is a lost year, just like two years ago was. Last year was no peach either so there is 1 of maybe 5 classes that will be worth mud for the 2012 Zips, that being the next to last recruiting class for Brookhart. His last one, the two iCoach classes, and this one were all wasted classes. Only the 2008 HS grads were attractive recruits and not many of those guys are left. It's going to be a long long rebuild for someone and that is pretty unattractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 The Vest was recruiting the night he was announced. Dustin Fox said he was watching the Buckeyes basketball game and they rolled Tres out at halftime. 20 minutes later the phone rang and it was Tressel, from a phone in the arena, working on convincing him to change his mind and play for the Bucks. You don't need a staff or an office set up or anything else to get started on recruiting. Just the numbers of the guys you want to target first, and a phone. Fox went to OSU, btw.

From what we saw on the field, are you sure those weren't gerbals? I want that guy and his thinking as far as away from the UA football scene as humanly possible.

ZachTheZip Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Apparently the coaching staff really was too stupid or arrogant to know that this was coming. Maybe both. http://azstarnet.com/sports/greg-hansen-ua...20a8c6aa1b.html "Also losing his job this week was Desert Swarm linebacker Charlie Camp, who was pushed out when Akron fired coach Rob Ianello, a UA assistant coach from 1993 to 2002. 'We were blindsided,' Camp said Thursday. 'We got two years, and they fired everybody. It's a crazy business.'" Really? Blindsided? Was everyone on the staff so arrogant that they thought they could continue sending the program into a nosedive without facing the consequences?

zippy5 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 If there's any recruit that we should be focusing on keeping, it's this guy here. Seth Cunningham's brother should also be a priority. I don't know enough about the others. In fact, I only know about two more. If we have nine recruits, five of them are not the kind that get listed to recruiting services. Saw him last week in PA. He's a stud.

It's going to be a long long rebuild for someone and that is pretty unattractive. Not true at all. Another guy just took a HC job last week and all of his potential assistants are coaching bowl teams. He is already on the recruiting trail hard and will finish with a top 10 class. It can be done if you get the right coach. It needs to be a name coach that brings excitement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Walt Harris, has any D1-A coach ever been fired 2 years into a 5-year contract? Turner Gill (Kansas); Larry Porter (Memphis) I don't know if they had five year contracts, but here are four other college coaches I could find that were fired after only two years. Bob Valesante, Kansas (3-8; 1-9-1), fired in 1987. Rod Dowhower, Vanderbilt (2-9; 2-9), fired in 1996. Dave Roberts, Baylor (2-9; 2;9), fired in 1998. Keith Gilbertson, Washington (6-6; 1-10), fired in 2004. I wonder if this is an aberration (three in one year) or the beginning of a trend.

tpsjugglerdude Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 In our dreams. If Ianello ends up back at ND, UA saves big bucks. Let's start emailing the ND AD and endorse Ianello. Give them the whole, "I will NEVER give ND another donation unless you hire Ianello and I will NEVER buy season tickets again..." It's a 100% true statement.

ZachTheZip Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Kansas: Florida offensive coordinator Charlie Weis has accepted the head coaching job. I am told that Weis has already contacted former Akron head coach Rob Ianello about an assistant coaching position. From coachingsearch.com Ianello is getting looks from the BCS. He may well be employed at another university before we can find a replacement. P.S.: Thanks for the tip, ZN.O poster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 CNNSI confirmation of Weis to Kansas. There's probably a decent chance Dayne Crist will rejoin Weis, with or without Ianello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
