We don't usually bother with smaller division hires, but this one's interesting.

Coastal Carolina hires billionaire as its new head coach

Quite a few men get into coaching and come out the other end as fairly wealthy head coaches. Not a lot of them, if any, though, enter the head-coaching game as filthy rich individuals ? and by ?filthy rich? we mean ?10-digit loaded?.


Yet that?s where the situation currently stands at Coastal Carolina, a Div. 1-AA (FCS) school that announced Tuesday the hiring Joe Moglia as its new head coach.

Football-wise, Moglia is probably best known as either the executive adviser to the Nebraska football program in 2009-10 or as the former head coach/current president of the United Football League?s Omaha Nighthawks.

Hard to say how Moglia is going to do as a Head Coach. He was, apparently, not entirely terrible as a shadow/assistant here at Nebraska. His Nighthawks team played well, but seemed to implode for moments that cost games. That league was kind of a cluster anyway.

He may be all right. It's interesting that he left his CEO gig for a life-long dream of coaching football.

:lol:

Here we go.

First we have:

What if it's Eric Mangini?

Starts like:

Type in Eric Mangini into the twitter search box and you see a bunch of tweets. Basically, Penn State reached out to Parcells who referred Mangini and then a few tweets regarding Mangini and Penn State football.

With as you can imagine much scorn, but, some unbridled optimism:

but seriously, Mangini might be an interesting choice... Carroll 2.0 potentially... not sure if he's ever coached college though..

:lol:

And then, the completely unsubstaniated and implausible jump to conclusions:

Does anyone else find it encouraging that PSU reached out to Bill Parcells to guage his interest? It means Lubert is aiming HIGH.

And the equally vapid response:

LattyDaddy...exactly what I was thinking. The fact that we reached out to Parcells (combined with Doc Joyner and Ira pulling Cael Sanderson away from his alma mater) tells me that we are going big time with this hire. The delay leads me to believe it is done and just waiting to be announced.

Big time. Got it.

Word on the street is that Nebraska is hiring Rick Kaczenski from Iowa as our D Line coach, and John Papuchis will be promoted to DC in Lincoln.

It's official.....Nebraska coach Bo Pelini's new assistant hire, Rick Kaczenski, brings Big Ten acumen to an inexperienced staff. New defensive coordinator John Papuchis is a big-picture, organization guy whose mild manners hide a fierce competitive streak.

Husker fans concerned that Bo's name keeps getting attached to other jobs would do well to channel their frustration at Athletic Director Tom Osborne, who allows Pelini's buyout to be impossibly low at just $250,000. Reader, that's 10 percent of Washington coach Steve Sarkisian's buyout.

My plan for making NU a top-10, destination job is basic: 3-3-3. And I promise it makes more sense than Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan.
1. $3 million per year for Bo's salary. He'll get that in 2012.
2. $3 million per year for nine assistants. That's major coin, but the Huskers made $34 million in profit in 2010-11, according to businessofcollegesports.com. They can and should afford it.
3. $3 million buyout.

So if any school wants to hire Bo, they'd know where to find Tom: at their bank, withdrawing $3 million in cash. I doubt you'd hear a peep from that moment on. The puny buyout for Bo is smaller than that of NU basketball coach Doc Sadler. It makes no sense.

I love how every idiot fanbase thinks ex-pro coach = Pete Carroll

Pete Carroll and Eric Mangini could not possibly be more different. Carroll was known for his outgoing style with his players and the media, Mangini has the charisma of a hep-c infested used hypodermic needle.
