Unfortunate. Had a good first year. I was hoping we’d get a second out of him before moving.
It was expected.
He'll end up as head coach at The U in a few years....
Now this loss hurts a bit. I thought Diaco did a great job for us all season, not just in the I-Bowl. All the best to him!
I wonder who Skip will hire next for this "rehab" clinic in Ruston? He now needs an OC and DC. Man....winning that 10th game seems to put a target on the back of your coaches.
We have lost 3 straight DC's to Power Five Schools. The target has always been there, its just that the bulls eye is now the size of a Buick.Originally Posted by HogDawg
I couldn’t tell for sure if it was the players that made the scheme work more so than the scheme making the players better. At this point without a second year, we’ll never know.
What we do know is that Tech is a revolving door coaching training ground. Again, I’m not sure if that’s altogether good or bad. I sure does seem to hold back that leap forward that Tech needs so badly.
“Garçon, a menu of resumes please.”
It’s a great thing!
We want to be a place where coaches come to build a resume to be hired. I love Ruston. I love Tech. But outside of hiring people like me , you are hiring coaches are moving in one of two directions, up or down.
We want coaches moving up. Always.
Skip has done a pretty good job with this.
If we paid our staff that excelled better, we could keep them longer.
We have a bottom ten budget. Crazy we keep getting such qualified coaches with such a small pay rate.
That's just stupid!
No we couldn't. That's not reasonable. Nearly all of the assistant coaches passing thru LA Tech want to eventually be HEAD coaches somewhere. They want a bigger stage, with more fame, glory and money than we could ever pay. An extra few hundred thousand dollars in Ruston doesn't solve this.
The same thing happens even at schools that pay coordinators a million or so. If they do well, they get offers to be head coaches for multi-minions and move on.
LSU”s DC is one of the highest paid assistants in the country, but there are rumors and confirmed stories of other schools being interested in hiring him away.
It’s better to keep having good people who get offers for better jobs than to have assistants who just hang on until you have to fire them.
Purdue & Vandy. The fact we constantly lose our assistants is somewhat a compliment. Sure we need to pay more but we still can’t compete with P5 schools. Most of the coaches we lose are headed to P5s.
Fitch figures he can make more $ at Vandy in the few years he will be there (before entire staff is let go) than he could at Tech in 10 yrs. - Diaco the same even though Purdue has the potential to compete in B10.
One of skips strengths is certainly his ability to replace key coaches & produce winning product. I would imagine them at Skip finds his off season coach turnover quite irritating at this point in his tenure
He tells the story of griping about it to Lou. Lou's response is that he can keep his coaches if he'll go 3-10 every year. (or something like that).
