Greg Schiano (HC Rutgers Scarlet Knights)

Assuming that Schiano actually is gone, I'll leave it to the elitist prick mods to decide whether it's time to start a 2018 tOSU defense thread or a separate thread to discuss potential DC successors. I worry about a Warinner 2.0 issue if they promote Johnson or Sir Hypeness, and am hoping that Bill Davis finds somewhere else to coach, so who should tOSU go after for DC?

Volunteers finalizing deal to make Greg Schiano head coach

When has Alabama ever been noted for their offense or their OCs? As I’m sure you picked up on, I was referring to Kirby.

Same for VT and Foster, and Clemson and Venables.

And while few expected Schiano to stay more than 2 years, it doesn’t make it any less annoying to have to go through this whole song and dance yet again - especially with Urbans hit and miss track record.
There are some coaches there are not meant to be a head coach or don't want to be a head coach. If Foster wanted to be a head coach he would have after Beamer left. Brent Venables was a DC for Oklahoma for 7 years. His big move after that was a lateral move to be the DC for Clemson for the past 6 seasons. He is not going to be a head coach. He seems like the Bud Foster type and be known as the best DC in college football and not an average head coach. Urban looks like he hires good coaches that have ambitions to be Head coaches. I will take that and a national championship above the stability of VT and Bud Foster.

You're conveniently overlooking two major examples I mentioned (Alabama and Clemson) that show that winning national championships and stability are not mutually exclusive.

Besides - you're reading way too far into what I said. I said it's annoying how we seem to perpetually be turning over coaches, whereas other national title winning programs do not. I understand that Urban wants hungry coordinators. I understand some people don't want to be head coaches. That doesn't make it any less annoying that Alabama had the benefit of an elite DC, who put his HC aspirations on hold, for nearly 10 years.

I did not overlook it. That was not part of the conversation. You actually never mentioned that. I would agree that winning national championships and having long term assistant coaches are not mutually exclusive.

If you are annoyed by it then thoes are you feelings and you are entitled to them. I am not annoyed as long as he hires the right ones and not the Tim Becks of the world.
