Small nugs from the 319
- Ferentz isn't retiring at this time. Told you all btw. No timetable and if anything recent events have pushed it back. Seems prescient to remind everyone that one of his mentors is Bill Snyder
- Brian has interviews lined up with a couple NFL teams to coach TEs - I'd expect him to land there
- Paul Chryst is candidate 1 and there isn't a candidate 2 at this time for their OC spot. I would expect that to be the hire unless he finds himself a candidate for a head job opening.
- MSU will be looking to make Phil Parker the highest paid assistant coach in the nation. Many other schools have also tried and failed so don't expect anything other than an extension/raise.
- LeVar Woods was contacted about the UTEP job and promptly said no. Second consecutive year he's been a candidate after last year interviewing at Arizona State. Something to monitor as he's a large part of the succession planning. He has a son that is being recruited a little more heavily than his rating should suggest which indicates to me that other schools are working that relationship.
