Running List of Coaches Leaving NU 2024 Edition

Did they keep both on “staff” thru signing day? Just for the recruits?
So that's the other thing - he at least said in his presser essentially "if we have guys looking elsewhere, we don't keep that from kids. We will never lie to a player" so I don't think keeping them on would matter if it's known they are looking elsewhere...

Just a strange gray area right now. But like has been said "All love Nebraska" from Knighton sure sounds like a goodbye tweet.

But as ALSO noted - it wasn't in a notes app. So maybe it's all love and he can't leave because there's just so much love.
 
TE is kinda a useless spot

I’d say TE is pretty important/tough. Teaching run blocking/scheme, route tree, pass catching concepts etc. I would say there aren’t spots that are just dummy positions.
 
Tell me you don’t know anything about football without telling me you don’t know anything about football…..
That’s an archaic way to view the te spot.
They’ll split time with wr and OL depending on drills needing ran that practice/time of practice. Or splits the group up and the te coach assist and helps out the other posistion coach during drills.

it’s a young man’s posistion to learn and develop but can bust his ass recruiting.

When you look around the big 10 that what it is.

Oregon — Drew Mehringer — 36 year old with an odd career trajectory. Got an OC job at 26 and spent an odd few years bouncing around getting fired and still getting OC job. Must know some people. Not settled in as a te coach.

Ohio state — Kennan Bailey — 29 year old first full time gig

Michigan — Steve Cassula — 37 years old. Had a little smaller school experience but Michigan is his first big job.

Indiana — Grant Cain — 42 — been with Cignetti since JMU 2019 where he was a TE coach and ST coach

Penn State — Ty Howell — 33 — first full time gig Penn state te coach

Illinois — Robby Discher — 37 — first power school gig at Illinois. Bounced around some at smaller school as a st coordinator. Was an analyst at uga before going to Illinois.

Cockeye — Abdul Hodge — 42 — first full time coaching job at Cockeye started in 2022

Minnesota — Eric Kohler — 49 — exception long time coach

Rutgers — Scott Valone — 33 — Rutgers first full time gig starting this year

USC — Zach Hanson — 33 — first full time te gig in 2018 with Kstate

Washington — Jordan PaoPao — 38 — te coach since 2013

Michigan State — Brian Wozinac — 32 — te coach since 2019

UCLA — Jerry Neuheisel — 32 — ucla te coach starting this season

Wisconsin — Nate Letton 30 — first full season as te in 2022 for Cincinnati

Northwestern — Paul Pickle Smoochers — 39-40 — kind of a career nomad

Maryland — Kevin Sumlin — 60 — don’t really need to say anything. Also the OC

Purdue — Justin Sinz— 31 — first fill year as an assistant this season.

That’s just the big 10, but TE is primarily a development posistion. Hire someone young and train for a few years. Also let them recruit their ass off.
The learn from OL, WR and OC and bounce around. It’s rare to see old seasoned coaches at te

Marcus at 48 is the 3rd oldest TE coach in the league. Nothing wrong with it. Just not common
