Coaching Carousel

[Phenom]

Looks like Washington is hiring Jaguars OC John Donovan to be their new OC. He was previously at Penn State, where he got fired due to poor playcalling and player development and replaced by Joe Moorhead.

He wasn’t OC with the Jags, he was the assistant RB Coach lol

Horrible hire by uw. Love it.

On Leach leaving the Pac-12, I don't buy that it's bad for the Pac-12. What's good for the Pac-12 is when member schools win big out of conference games, not when they simply create turmoil within the conference. What has been WSU's biggest out of conference wins of the Leach era?

2019- No P5 preseason games. Bowl- L against Air Force
2018- No P5 preseason games. Bowl- W against Iowa State
2017- No P5 preseason games. Bowl- L to Michigan State
2016- No P5 preseason games (Losses to Eastern Washington and Boise State). Bowl- Loss to Minnesota
2015- W against Rutgers. Bowl- W again Miami.
2014- L to Rutgers, L to Nevada. No bowl game.
2013- L to Auburn. Bowl- L to Colorado State.
2012- L to BYU. No bowl game.

Leach was a headache who did nothing for the conference when playing out of conference foes. One could argue he did more damage than good for the conference. Here's to him doing the same in the Southeastern Conference!

It seemed like Lake's first choice was Kellen Moore and when that didn't work out, he may have struck out with a few others and now he has made a panic or settle decision. I guess one never knows how these things will work out, but it seems like a great hire. For the Ducks, I mean.

Thanks for the recap. I had no idea his record was that bad.

As 'Bad' as he was, he found a way to beat the Ducks 4 of the past 5 years (Or the ducks found ways to lose).

The staff coming together at UNLV has been interesting, if not awkward. There have now been two coaches who were reported to be on the new staff, only to go back to the program they were already with. Kasey Dunn was leaving Okie State to be OC until he wasn't, and now Mike McHugh will go back to Fresno State after reportedly accepting a position at UNLV. Odd.

UNLV offers being used for raises.

We likely will. It should sort of fit with the personnel they've got but it'll be slightly different.

The suspected trickle down effect is that Munoz, a rumored candidate for Oregon's OC, could get a promotion on the LSU staff. Additionally, some think Moorhead may get offered a position on Brady's staff at Carolina.

I wonder how much of a Poly pull he will have? Hawaii has to be an easier recruiting area than Pullman, it didn’t take the Cougs long to replace the Pirate.
