Why so sad Cats?
« on: January 15, 2016, 03:46:03 PM »
Before you all start gnashing teeth, tearing clothes and wearing burlap (read your bible for the reference) here is what has been talked about in ITK circles:

1. There will be at least one coordinator retiring.
2. Jim Levitt is a name widely believed to be filling a spot.
3. People who had attended the ground breaking of the NE corner were openly talking at the WVU game about a gentlemen agreement with Brent Venables already a done deal. No time line. Brent is happy where he's at, what he's making, where his son is playing HS football. He's in no rush, but DOES want to coach the Cats when Bill hangs up the windbreaker.
4. Bill is reportedly on board. Sean will be held over to the new staff doing what he does now. Title may change, may not.
5. Bill is not going anywhere until he hits 200 wins, health willing. He set a goal and damn it he's going to show those youngsters that you don't give up on goals. After he hits 200, he'll actually sit down and map out and exit, not until then.
6. If Bill does leave/die mid season, Currie will only give the interim title to a coach with head coach credentials, like Dimel...or any other coordinator that might (might) come on staff with prior HC experience.

Thank you for calming the seas, Blackcats. I can live with this, if it is true.

Regarding #5, how much would it cost to pay off some teams next year to take a dive to ensure win #200 next year. I'm sick of waiting around. T

All we need is 7 wins, guys. Stanford makes this goal difficult, however, we got this!

-Florida Atlantic
-Missouri State
-KU
-Iowa State
-TTech
-Texas
-WVU

Also, maybe we get to 6 and then win a bowl game!  :lol:

Before you all start gnashing teeth, tearing clothes and wearing burlap (read your bible for the reference) here is what has been talked about in ITK circles:

1. There will be at least one coordinator retiring.
2. Jim Levitt is a name widely believed to be filling a spot.
3. People who had attended the ground breaking of the NE corner were openly talking at the WVU game about a gentlemen agreement with Brent Venables already a done deal. No time line. Brent is happy where he's at, what he's making, where his son is playing HS football. He's in no rush, but DOES want to coach the Cats when Bill hangs up the windbreaker.
4. Bill is reportedly on board. Sean will be held over to the new staff doing what he does now. Title may change, may not.
5. Bill is not going anywhere until he hits 200 wins, health willing. He set a goal and damn it he's going to show those youngsters that you don't give up on goals. After he hits 200, he'll actually sit down and map out and exit, not until then.
6. If Bill does leave/die mid season, Currie will only give the interim title to a coach with head coach credentials, like Dimel...or any other coordinator that might (might) come on staff with prior HC experience.

So Currie traded for the right to hire Venables next and gave Bill the right to hire Levitt? If so, that is pretty BA.

I do t buy it.  If wins were that important we wouldn't have had some of the staff or recruiting we have had.

As if I didn't want Bill to hit 200 anyways this just has me excited for next season if it happens.

This better not be our Harbaugh moment.
