Impending Assistant Coach Vacancies

I wonder if Coach Day is married cover 3 coverage. If so, that would seem to automatically eliminate Chis Ash, right? Being that he’s primarily a pattern-matching quarters guy it would seem to be a no-go, right? You still have Mattison, so the new guy would probably need to be in alignment with him. Would that be Ash?

From what I've heard...

Matt Thurin will be going with Hafley
Corey Dennis likely going with Hafley
Kenny Anunike has been offered a staff spot, unclear if going so I'd expect he'll stay
Sean Duggan will likely be going with Hafley (near 100% with Thurin)

Selfishly, I do not give a shit really about anything regarding Hafley, BC, any other coaches and only care about beating Clemson. And then the winner of LSU/OU. I do not want anything to derail that train. Unfortunately, Hafleys departure might affect the train, and that does piss me off.

I understand he may double his income and don't blame him, but damn if it costs us a chance to win it all then it sucks for us not him and his family.

That’s the new age of CFB when you’re successful. Embrace it, and just hope that Day constantly has plan b coaches on speed dial

Don't get me wrong, I would love for Hafley to be a lifer, but that very first interview let the whole world know where he was going.

Go back to the beginning of the thread. Everyone loved the shit out of him, and hoped against hope that we could keep him. We knew we couldn't.

We all knew he was going places, and fast. We just wished he would get his gig after two, or three, or, four years.

But that wasn't going to happen.

So now, to see the sour grapes and hate, simply because Day snatched up a blatantly over qualified guy to fix the defense, TO ME, seems entitled and spoiled.

This isn't some guy that grinded out shitty talent at Arkansas and Wisky. (Ashe)

This isn't some guy that grinded hs football teams in Cincy. (Coombs)

This was a LEGIT candidate for best DB coach in the NFL.

When Richard Sherman says, "that's the best coach I've ever had," I pay attention.

When Hafley makes Damon Arnette into a first day pick, I pay attention.

Don't cuss out Hafley. He was overqualied the day he stepped on campus. Rather RECOGNIZE that Ryan Freaking Day has connections that Urban could only dream to have.

And trust that Day will replace Hafley just fine.

Agree fully.
And now it's time for Day to head back to NFL for his replacement.
But I disagree with you saying he was the best DB coach in the NFL. I think NFL schemes are more complex than in college, and there's certain parts that came easier for a NFL coach than a guy that's only been in college. A young, hungry guy with NFL experience will do well on our defense, and from some posters on 11W, that may be where Day goes back to for Hafley's replacement. Ash, Coombs, Freeman are what the fans want, but Day is probably going back to the NFL, so hot seat coaching staffs and a name we haven't thought of will probably be the replacement. Here is the first batch of names
