From Footballsccop:
Louisiana Tech has hired Miami Dolphins tight ends coach Derek Dooley as its new football coach. Chris Hatcher turns down Louisiana Tech--issues re: holding onto several former members of the staff. He has been included now on Air Force's wish list
Now the fella in the know here says Dooley can hire or fire whoever he wants to eh?
I'm tellin you that 3 coaches on this staff WILL be retained and that was part of the deal for Dooley, Hatcher, Fisher or Vince Lombardi to accept if they wanted to coach here.
And my feeling on that is not a good one.
I'm not saying Dooley won't perform miracles here. All I'm saying is that there may well have been a possibility, make that PROBABILITY, that Jimbo Fisher would be in Ruston today had JO not put restrictions on who he could or could not hire or fire.
To me, that is troublesome. It indicates misplaced priorities on the AD's part and a lack of strength on the new HC's part.
