Oso planning to go pro
Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning is set to take over as coach at Oregon.Just fired Miami coach (Manny Diaz) to be the new DC at Penn State.
Cal coach Justin Wilcox, a UO alum and Oregon native, turned down Oregon.https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/john_canzano/2021/12/canzano-a-twist-justin-wilcox-turned-down-the-oregon-ducks.html
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Travis Hunter, the #1 overall prospect in the nation for the 2022 class decommits from Florida State and switches over to Deion Sanders-led Jackson State. That is pretty crazy.
That's cool.I wonder what Deion's career aspirations are. I haven't heard him talk about them. Does he aspire to coach at a Florida State, or does he love where he is and believe he can have a bigger impact there?
Awesome! Hope the kid got the biggest deal he could
would you say the same if a nothing school bought off MU's top commitment (or poached, say, Justin Lewis) with a promise of NIL money in violation of state law?Taking the money and going to an HBCU worked well for Makur Maker.
Mike Norvell is a dead man walking and Deion will be the next coach at FSU.
Do we know if Deion wants to make that insane time commitment? What Wags said makes a lot of sense.I don't have any idea one way or the other, but some people actually are happy where they are. See Mark Few (who wasn't always coaching a dynasty), Bob McKillop, former St. John's football coach John Gagliardi, etc. Not many. It's a small group of coaches who are content where they are, but they do exist.
Its not pretty crazy, its absolutely astounding. Deion signing his son last season was pretty unheard of given his ranking. But a legit top 10 recruit choosing an FCS school, and not one named NDSU or Sam Houston St? Incredible and without comparison in the modern recruiting ranking era.NIL has a good chunk to do with it, but Deion is doing some really impressive stuff down there.
Taking the money and going to an HBCU worked well for Makur Maker.
There were rumors that he was lobbying for the job when Taggart was fired. Rumors he didn't quite deny.
Maker got injured and didn't play. That is what went against him. He wasn't a consensus lottery pick and always had academic/eligibility issues, hence why once he got hurt he went back to Australia to get paid. Not really a similar situation to this.Not even just that, money isn't an issue or quest for Deion at this point and he wasn't exactly laser focused on getting into college coaching the first 15 years out of the league.Counter point, its Prime Time. The man loves to be in the headlines and in the public eye. I wouldn't expect him to deny rumors connecting him to being a new judge on American Idol or running for President either.
Has any coach not loved where he is at and believes he can make a bigger impact.........until they get a better offer?
