Coaching changes

There is now a lot of talk about the Missouri AD really liking Blake Anderson. Anderson has been good at Arkansas State, but not great.
If you fire an alum who just put together 3 consecutive bowl teams, and you do not make a splash hire, knives will be sharpened to take care of you if your hire isn't better than the alum you fired.

Well, he was only 2 games above .500 at UNC overall and .500 in the conference. He’s won 56% of his games as HC. That’s not exactly awe inspiring.
If he wants a power 5 job, I think there will be better ones available than Ole Miss. It's going to be tough to compete there against Bama, LSU and Georgia.
I think the Fedora talk was a smoke screen by Ole Miss to get people off the scent of Ole Miss trying to snatch Kiffin out from under Arkansas. Many people would assume that Ole Miss be after Fedora because he had coached at Southern Miss and won 1 conference title and then had one the Coastal division once at UNC. But MS people have not forgotten that Fedora left Southern absolutely desolated. He left a team that went 0-12. Ole Miss people also know that while Fedora was on John Rhys Plumlee early, Plumlee was uninterested in Fedora once SEC teams began offering.
My hope for somebody helping UNC with the Fedora pay off is that a school makes him a grossly overpaid OC.
I read today that Drinkwitz is really the only external candidate left from them. If he turns them down, they may have to settle for promoting a current member of their staff.
Wow, after one season, albeit a really good one, with Satterfield's players?
That's the risk an AD in a P5 is taking in hiring Drinkwitz. He inherited an excellent Sun Belt team. Larry Cokers exist.
A one hit wonder? He hasn’t even shown what he can do as a recruiter
Does he have any connections with Missouri or the area?
Grew up in AR and played at Ark Tech. Assistant at Ark State.
Just 1 year as HC, in a G5 - that shows very little. Hiring him is a fairly big risk. It could pay, or blow up Mizzou football for another decade.
If I am running the App St search committee, I definitely want to talk to Matt Canada. He's shown flashes of brilliance as an OC. He did a great job keeping Maryland together was interim (this Mike Locksley Terp team sucked something awful). And there have been reports that he does not want another OC job. He knows NC.
UGA alum hires UGA alum.
May they both continue Gamecock mediocrity unto losing seasons.
That would be like Leach hiring Morris as OC. Malzahn controls his offense, totally. No OC of his is ever going to do anything Malzahn has not authorized.
Morris might be a nice fit as Mack's OC.
I don't see Mack ditching Longo yet. Let's see how he does with Howell in year 2
Exactly. Let's keep what we have, and see how much better Sam and that offense will be next year. With some better red zone execution we could be a force on that side of the ball.
Yeah It will be interesting to see how the offense develops next year. I remember reading that Longo struggled with red zone efficiency at Ole Miss, especially against good teams. I hope that changes.
Well at least they both have a job for another year probably won’t after that...not at lil Carolina anyway.
They have lost offensive coaches before and it hasn't mattered. The real test will come when Venables gets a HC job. They became elite when he got there.
