Malloe had so many years of striking out in recruiting that I don’t mind moving on from him, he’s a good guy though but he struggled to recruit non-poly dline guysIs Deboner on a golf course in Fresno? Looking for multiple home run assistant hires to be announced by Sunday/Monday or burn it all down.
If current for holds there will be three home runs IMO, possibly four, with five an outside shot if Tedford comes.
Courtney Morgan (not an assistant coach but big addition as director of recruiting)
Donte Williams CoDC/DBs (won't like it if he's calling plays)
Kirby Moore - TEs
Maaaaaybe Orlondo Steinauer DC (please God)
Others I like
Ryan Grubb OL, probably OC unless Tedford ends up here
Junior Adams WRs (only current UW coach being retained)
William Inge LBs (won't like him if he's DC)
Ron McKeefery S & C
JD Williams Other DB coach
Not sure yet
RB coach (hearing we're after some big names)
QB coach (no clue other than Tedford if he's here)
DL coach (no idea but apparently Malloe is dropping down to DC at a lower level)
with DNC on a lot of this except: I heard JD Williams isn't leaving Fresno. I can't see Inge giving up his DC title. curious your source about Malloe. I thought that FSU RB coach was considered a good recruiter and probably coming on board. I don't see how Adams would survive but not Malloe unless we just have significantly better outside options at DL.
it'll be very interesting to see who they get as quarterbacks coach. a lot of sources saying grub is weak at that role.
What I've heard is DeBoer offered Malloe but Malloe said no because he wants to be a DC and is willing to go the small college route to do it. I hope that's wrong, I agree Malloe is the most important coach to keep (at DL).
Biggest issue with this staff above is there are no Polys on it. Have to find one who is respected if Malloe leaves.
My guess is Adams is surviving because he can recruit. I imagine his receivers will look 300x better in this new offense.
Yep.
OTOH he was a very good DL coach (should never have been moved off of it) and was really good at recruiting Polys in general, not just at DL. He was instrumental in recruiting Hawaii and Utah.
Also like 1/3 of the roster is Poly and he was the main reason they are here. With him leaving you better have a big time Poly hire to keep those guys feeling respected and on bored. DeBoer being a midwesterner his unfamiliarity with Poly culture is one of my main concerns. I hope he doesn't have to learn the hard way.
I think Malloe was the most obvious keep, I'm bummed he's not coming back.
