Only way we MIGHT get Venables or Leavitt is if we attach a HCIW title and Bill will never agree to that because that would eliminate Sean. Another interesting name is bret bielema im not sure how I would feel about that. Ill bet on Blake Seiler being promoted.

Interesting.  Thank you Hayes for your services... I really hated that style of defense, but it was effective (mostly) and I appreciate what Hayes brought to the table in experience and truthfully some good DBs over the years.

I agree with the poster above that the only way someone like BV, Leavitt or Stoops come on board is with a HCIW title and it seems like it is Sean or nothing for Bill.  So, that's probably not an option.  I agree that Seiler is probably in line to be the next DC and good for him!  He seems like a very engaged coach and (like Coleman) has been a stud on the recruiting trail. A few other names:

Very Long Shots and would only come as a DC
- Raheem Morris:  He was KSU's DC / DB coach under Ron Prince and has been an NFL head coach and current Falcons WR coach.  This probably would be a demotion in some ways, but may also re-start his career in some ways.
- Bret Bielema: He is making millions doing nothing, so I doubt he comes .
- Mike Ekler: He has coached LB's all over the place and could probably coach DBs(?)  He is currently the DC at North Texas.
- Newman... his playing days may be coming to an end.  If I were him I enjoy the fruits of an awesome NFL career, but maybe all he wants to do is coach football?

Another random name:
- Joe Gordon: After being a director of recruiting for KSU he has coached at some lower level schools and is currently a HS head coach in Arlington.

I didn't know that, thanks for the update.  Eckler has been everywhere: UNC, North Texas, USC, Indiana, UNL, LSU and OU.  Lots of experience, but none as a DB coach.  I don't know how important that is.

If Seiler is the new DC (which I am fine with) I hope that Joe Gordon gets a serious look.  I think he could bring a good recruiting footprint (Texas ties) and he has experience as a DB coach.  He also had wild amounts of sideline energy which I always appreciated.

I have no clue, but in goEMAW's first post http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=21719.0 (http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=21719.0) of Gordon leaving there didn't seem to be any indication of wrong doing nor was there any in the Wichita Eagle report http://www.kansas.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/article1095654.html (http://www.kansas.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/article1095654.html)


Apparently it wasn't something super serious as he has landed jobs at other colleges / high schools (whom I assume all do background checks).

Hmmm, that's an odd situation, thanks for posting.  I wonder too much of that was Currie's influence as well.  Oh well, we will see what happens. 

To the above poster, Jim Leonhard is a good example of NFL player to DC (only one year in between as a position coach).  He also has a similar background to Newman... he his from Wisconsin, played at Wisconsin, had a significant NFL career and then returned to coach at Wisconsin.  We'd be blessed if Newman did the same thing!  After 15 years in the NFL I would imagine that he knows how to coach DBs.

Newman as DB coach would be great.  Being in the league as long as he has been and continuing to be effective as his physical skills have started to deteriorate makes me think he could coach the position very well.

Rivals and Scout is confirmed that Seiler is the new DC.  Good for him!  He, like Coleman, worked his way up the ranks and cut his teeth on the recruiting trail.  I glad for both of them.

I also hope that the new DB coach is also a stud recruiter.  Seiler and Coleman seemed like two of our best recruiters, moving them to coordinators will surely reduce their time on the recruiting trail.

lol, yeah that was solid rumor that got the blood boiling... at point Chuck Long was the new OC and Sean Snyder was the new DC.  Instead, Snyder promotes two of his top young(er) assistants and hires Hickson, Hanson and a TBD DB coach.  Funny how the narrative is much different, especially if the new DB coach turns out to be a young(er) former KSU player.

Charlotte hired former Oklahoma State DC Glenn Spencer to serve in the same capacity.

Spencer joins the 49ers after Oklahoma State handed him his walking papers in mid-January. He replaces Matt Wallersted, who himself was let go by Charlotte following the 2017 season. The Cowboys ranked as S&P+'s No. 70 defense in the FBS under Spencer's watch last season. Prior to his termination, he had served as defensive coordinator in Stillwater since 2013. In a statement released regarding his new job with Charlotte, Spencer said that he's looking to build a fundamentally-sound unit. He'll have his work cut out for him early -- his new team ranked 103rd in the FBS for 2017 in terms of scoring defense.

The baylor sexual assault scandal wikipedia page is about 200 bullet points like this and the last name norwood did not appear once in a word search.

Quote
December 5, 2016: A group called Bears for Leadership Reform pushes for an independent investigation into the university's board of regents. They want the investigation to review conduct beginning even before the Pepper Hamilton Report was issued. Former Texas Governor Mark White said, "We’ve lost faith in Pepper Hamilton. The secrecy surrounding it does not pass the smell test."[113]
December 6, 2016: Baylor announces Matt Rhule as its new head football coach. Rhule leaves the same position at Temple.[114] On the same day, the Southern Association of Colleges and Universities Commission places Baylor on accreditation probation due to the sexual assault scandal.[115]
December 8, 2016: Former Head Football Coach Art Briles files suit against Baylor for libel, slander, and conspiracy because officials accused him of covering up at least one report of sexual assault.[116]
December 12, 2016: Baylor regents vote unanimously to reject a call for a third party to review the university's handling of the sexual assault scandal. The call was made by a group of the school's major donors.[117]
December 13, 2016: Tom Hill, a former Baylor assistant athletic director, files suit against Pepper Hamilton, accusing the law firm of negligence and defamation. He asks for US $60,000 in damages. He had previously been offered and refused a US $34,373 severance package from the school.[118] On the same day, a report released by the group Bears for Leadership Reform stated the university had already lost US $76 million due to the sexual assault scandal. It projected the total loss could top US $223 million.[119]
December 27, 2016: Bears wide receiver K. D. Cannon dedicates the team's Cactus Bowl win to Art Briles.[120]

Which means I guess he is okay until he proves he is awful at his job.

December 13, 2016: Tom Hill, a former Baylor assistant athletic director, files suit against Pepper Hamilton, accusing the law firm of negligence and defamation. He asks for US $60,000 in damages. He had previously been offered and refused a US $34,373 severance package from the school.[118] On the same day, a report released by the group Bears for Leadership Reform stated the university had already lost US $76 million due to the sexual assault scandal. It projected the total loss could top US $223 million.[119]
December 27, 2016: Bears wide receiver K. D. Cannon dedicates the team's Cactus Bowl win to Art Briles.[120]

Which means I guess he is okay until he proves he is awful at his job.

What transpired at Baylor was only possible because of a warped culture.  Anybody associated with the football program during that time is forever tainted.

There are a million coaches out there.  Why go there?

Didn't a lot of the Sandusky raping happen while he was retired and still using the facilities?

up until 2002 when his keys were taken away. I doubt very much that our new guy knew anything about it or the baylor stuff btw. just unlucky timing.
Yeah I definitely don't implicate our guy in that, it just seemed like an odd argument

Man, this hire sucks.  In addition to the Baylor ties, he is old and hasn't really been involved with good defenses.  Most recently, he was responsible for a horrible defense. :flush:

I am not trying to infer that Norwood is guilty of any wrongdoing, but I feel that Ryan Wallace is a bit off on his dismissal of Norwood's past. Sandusky had access to the Penn State facilities in 2002, which is when Mike McQueary saw him abusing a child and when Sandusky's keys were taken away to the facility soon after. Norwood began his stint as the Penn State safeties coach in 2001, so there is some time overlap there. The chance Norwood saw anything or knew anything about Penn State is small, but still, some overlap exists.

However, with Baylor all of the alleged 52 rapes occurred between 2011-2014, which was completely within the timeframe Norwood was there as an assistant head coach. The culture with that program in that timeframe was very toxic and rape enabling, and while that doesn't make him guilty I personally wouldn't touch anything from that timeframe in Waco with a 10 foot pole.

yeah im not sure i like this move unless its for recruiting purposes. they gave up almost 550 yds a game and only had 7 total picks, not all his fault im sure but they also gave up 62, 59, 54, 43, 42, 41 against a pretty bad schedule. the big 12 might eat him alive
not sure if this qualifies as "bitching" or not but these are the facts, you give up that many points to some pretty meh teams and you have some serious scheme flaws.

Ummm, no. The Baylor crap went back to like 2012/13 didn't it? Just cause crap starts to fly in 2015 doesn't mean that's when the timeline starts.

And also, some of the Sandusky crap was after he was retired but still doing his creepy second mile stuff. And Penn State continued to allow him to use their facilities with it up until like 2008 or some crap.

I'm not saying he had any (he probably had absolutely zero knowledge since he keeps getting jobs) knowledge, but let's not ignore the fact he was at both places during the crap.

But if he didn't know anything why wouldn't we ignore it? Both situations had extensive investigations done and he's never came up. Those are both incredibly shitty things to have your name attached to if you didn't do anything. It cost Greg Schiano a job.

yeah i don't like the take that since he simply worked for baylor and penn state he should be shunned. if there has been due diligence and his name legitimately hasn't been involved with any wrongdoing, he should absolutely be considered for jobs.

Considering how wrong you've been on this entire topic, you should just stay away.  But you're not that smart.

Stuff like what happened at Baylor doesn't happen unless the entire culture is warped.  Even one strong person could've changed this entire ordeal and probably prevented multiple crimes.  Norwood isn't that person.

In addition, he seems to suck at coaching defense.

This hire sucks really bad.

Who said he should be shunned?

And it was DJamer Wally that brought it up. Which if he wants to bring up the Baylor/Penn State situations, he needs to simply state it's been proven he was never involved, cleared (obviously), and move on.

He doesn't need to make a post like that with an inaccurate timeline as the reason he's fine. Give the man credit and say he's fine because he had zero knowledge/involvement while at those places, not cause he wasn't there.
