I suspect that he was "asked" to resign because they weren't competitive, even in the non-schollie enclave of D-I football....

ACU Hires Keith Patterson

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

Abilene Christian went with Texas Tech defensive coordinator Keith Patterson as their new head coach. Patterson has a long history of being an FBS DC, but he's never been a full head coach past the high school level. He was an interim coach twice and went 1-1 in those games (PITT, 2011; TXTECH, 2020).

Ryan Carty Hired at Delaware

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

Ryan Carty, current OC at Sam Houston, will now coach his alma mater. He was a backup QB on the 2003 Blue Hen squad that won the national title. He was also the OC at New Hampshire from 2012-17. I'm not certain if he's remaining at SHSU for the remainder of the playoffs or not.

I don't like this. Delaware could have held off on this until SHSU lost. Now they have a distraction (and, therefore, an excuse)....

Distraction? Come on, he's just the OC, and he's staying on at SHSU until the playoffs are over. Staff move all the time, this is par for the course. Now if the HC was moving, then by all means, that would be an issue. But coordinators and assistant coaches moving is just normal operating procedure, especially when they can snag a HC position like this. Blame the early signing date in December, back when there was just one signing date in February you wouldn't have this happen.

Idaho State Hires Charlie Ragle

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

The Bengals have gone with Charlie Ragle, who has been the special-teams coordinator at Cal the last 5 seasons. He was the ST coordinator at Arizona for 4 years before that. He's never been a head coach past the HS level, and he has no direct connection to the Big Sky that I can find.

Grambling Hires Hue Jackson

Post by Mvemjsunpx »

The Tigers have gone with former NFL head coach Hue Jackson. Jackson's NFL record wasn't good (11-44-1, mostly with the awful Browns), but this will be his first college head-coaching job. He was the OC at Tennessee State under Eddie George this past season.

Venus: I heard that this morning. I'm VERY happy they chose the UOP QB I used to spend my evenings listening to on the radio in my mom's room (until she kicked me out 'cause she wanted to go to bed). He's a great coach who got screwed by the Davis family for no reason whatsoever....
