(haha, the first didn't go through on my phone but I'll stand by it. im honestly surprised and what a great offramp for AHen- if im a coach, id want to work with for BB)
True.
I'm not surprised to see AH go and would have been 100% content with the news but his landing spot has me reconsidering. Got a feeling we're in the midst of a Wisconsin/Nebraska fan moment where their 'upgrades' went south. We’re celebrating a departure that better programs are viewing as an opportunity.
I'll probably reconsider once we have the new DC announced.
Bret takes care of his guys ... He called Shad and multiple other NFL teams and Aaron immediately has interviews ... Obviously there were some conversations with Chris Ash to ensure Aaron had a spot there as well ...
Bret couldn't come to an agreement on a reduced role with Discher so he reduced his buyout and put out multiple calls to other coaches and said nothing but the best about Discher and he lands on his feet as well in a great spot ...
If you can’t get Bullen I would go for Seth Wallace. To bad we didn’t go for LeVar Woods if we knew discher was leaving.
If Charlie comes back I’m assuming he would go back to coaching olb. So that would leave an opening a safety.
Tough to say at this point ... NFL is a completely different gig and Bullen got some NFL DC opportunities this cycle ...
If Bullen was ever going to think about coming back to CFB ... He has told me it would only be for Bret ...
What???
You forgot to add Sam Pittman to that list
To be clear ... Both of these guys were given opportunities to seek new positions elsewhere within a certain time frame or Bret was going to move on himself ...
I think it's honestly pretty incredible how much Bret's word means around the NFL and CFB that he got guys who were on the outs with us positions at CFB contending teams ... It may not have worked out here but demotions/lateral moves to other teams could work out great for them ... And that is a brilliant move for Bret because it makes it look like these teams are coming to our program to poach ...
He’s going to ND to coach the DBs……

I'm kinda assuming there is no list any more, but rather a choice.

I mean the big difference between us and Wisconsin and Nebraska is that we know who we are and the way we win games.Don't forget who is at the helm and the $$ he has access too ...
Can we deliver on our identity in 2026? We'll find out, gonna be a challenge.
But we know what our identity is.

Your point stands, but I think the same could be true for Discher as well. Was TE & ST coach here. Will coach just ST there.
Difference here is that you're keeping the head guy in charge, and he's the one allowing all this to happen.
If this had happened after a few down years in a row I'd be more concerned.
Should add this note ...
Very shortly after the season, Bret informed Discher he was only going to be coaching ST here next year if he remained on staff and Bret would be hiring a new TE coach ... They could not come to an agreement on a few things which ultimately led to Discher seeking new opportunities ...
I understood your comment

Aaron Henry will never oversee the notre dame defense lol. They didn’t hire him because they think he has untapped potential as DC, they hired him because he can coach defensive backs. “Co-defensive coordinator”, yeah, sure lol.
Joel Goodson
- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
falling upwards, lol. what a break! expecting Coach B to make hay here
yea
likely they could not agree on the pay decrease
Justin Wilcox is another dc that would be a good fit
