The Coaching Carousel Works In Strange Ways

Here’s how the coaching carousel works:

Last month, Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh wanted to hire TCU running backs coach Anthony Jones.

Jones turned Harbaugh down. So Harbaugh hired USC running backs coach Kiel McDonald. Now USC has replaced McDonald with Jones.

Why would Jones turn down the Chargers but take the USC job? He thinks he will have a better chance to become a college football head coach at USC.

  • It’s very un-UCLA-like for the athletic dept. to eat the final two years’ of Tim Drevno’s contract. It’s nice they are throwing a bone to DeShaun Foster, or actually Eric Bieniemy, who wanted a new offensive line coach he became offensive coordinator.

      3. The problem with running with others, MG, is that we feel obligated to keep up whether our bodies are capable of it or not. So I tend to jog alone with my pace being jog-walk, jog-walk. It is easier for me and more fun

      1. Michael, you and the others here can run circles around me with your compex-or-complex sports analysis– for God Sakes I even argue Reggie’s 2003 national title runs againbst sucla are on a par with OJ’s-1967 64-yarder

        I like the big picture and and it looks to me as if the safety and corners play as a ‘little’ team together in a small area and hence are pretty much interchangeable positions;

        Maybe that is why they switch up so much later in the     NF-something

    2. Big difference when you are playing man to man. As a safety you’re always facing the QB and watching his eyes. You know where he’s going. As a corner, you have your back to the QB and you don’t know what’s happening. He could have gotten outside of the containment and running towards you. Also, you need more speed as a corner. Quite often you’re right on the LOS with the receiver playing bump and run.
