Assistant Coach moves

[bigticket1]

I would bet the farm that Coach Stig is stepping down within the next few hours, or by end of tomorrow. With Coach Rogers sliding into HC. Which makes me wonder, don't they legally need to open the job, advertise and interview x amount of candidates. Or maybe they got to bypass this? I do think Stig will have some impact regarding fundraising, and such kind of like what Tom Osborne was to Nebraska after he resigned. Either way I think we are in good hands.

If I remember correctly, Hendo got promoted very quickly after Otz resigned.

Coach Davis got a huge pay raise with the Yotes, unbelievable

Stig is coming back, that what he told tyler merrium in a an interview

I'm much older.

Gives you valuable insight.

Speaking of which, if you had to bet, would you expect these assistant coaches' successors to be from ranks of other FCS schools or maybe NSIC/DII given that it's not an OC like Jacks needed last year?

Are you Matt Zimmer?

I made those same basic points in post #32 earlier in this thread. It wouldn't surprise me if we get an announcement at some point that Stig will coach another year with Jimmy becoming head coach after that.

Zimmer also mentioned perspective there'd be increased pressure on new coach to repeat as national champion. Plus, there's the allure of 200 wins to entice Stig to give it "one more go" (even if he might not publicly admit it).

The Jacks have the added benefit of their heir apparent already being on staff.

He has not. Zimmer even asked Sell last week if Stig was retiring or coming back and even Sell didn’t know for sure at that time. I wouldn’t be shocked if he does call it a career.

We are still in this.....no idea what the coordinators are doing. The head coach hasn't confirmed he is coming back yet, has he?

Looks like it will be two years in a row of losing a significant number of coaches. But at least coordinators are staying, which is key, along with returning such a large number of starters/key players. And there should be no shortage of qualified applicants coming off the Natty.

Sounds like Christian Smith heading to Northwestern via football scoop

My son went to a football clinic with Zenner and CJ Ham years ago. ZZ seemed uncomfortable and awkward. Ham on the other hand was a delight. ZZ is such a straight laced guy to me, he just doesn't exude passion that I can remember. It was always so cut and dry. "I am going to run 3000 yards. Now I will go sit down."

Connor Landberg (former SDSU wide receiver, played during and right after the Weineke years) lives here in town, and is coaching wide receivers for Brookings High School. Purely speculation, but I wonder if there would be mutual interest? Seems he's interested in coaching with him working on the BHS staff. I know the jump from high school to Div 1 college is a big jump, but with his proximity, and apparent interest in coaching, maybe there's something there? Not sure what his full-time job currently is...
