Tony "Benedict" Alford (meh)

[bigdog3300]

Does Cadillac Williams want to come back to CFB?

Where's the DeNiro gif @Jaxbuck loves to post when you need it!

 

[CMic]

Cheaters love traitors.

 

[Tanner]

Well that is unfortunate

With our currently stacked RB room and nice future recruiting potential, it's likely we will fall up and land a upgrade here.

The Rivals guys said the entire offensive staff, except Hartline, were told to explore other options as no job was safe depending on who was hired as OC. Only because of the time it took to get to O'Brien and then Kelly did the issue become moot.

Alford did not get an extension or raise this year, so in one sense getting a multi year contract an raise was likely the right thing to do.

Alford was very helpful with non-RB recruiting in Florida, but the misses and mistakes in RB recruiting cancels that out.

As the title of the thread says Meh.

Saw someone post on 11w that some of the insiders were saying this was definitely a "spite" move. Not sure how true though.

 

[buckeyemania11]

This is probably something that will end up rallying the team positively, not negatively.

Making a move like this out of spite is going to have a lot of young men on the roster you spited having a fire to run you over in November.

A multi-year contract seems almost like a negative for a positional coach. If the goal is onward and upward, why lock yourself into a positional coach on a morally repugnant team.....when you could coach the best RB room in the country for one year and turn that into an OC or HC somewhere else. He was almost the CSU head coach a few years ago......now he's moving downwards because of guaranteed years? Dumb.

 

[buckeyebri]

This, just a total dick move.

[MSURacerDT55]

How is that dynamic going to work when he chose Peoples over Marshall

 

[Captain Buckeye]

I know he felt disrespected etc because of only maybe getting a 1 year deal but he didn’t have to choose TCUN.

He did this to be personal. Hopefully the team sees this the same way.

Screw this guy and good riddance.

Was always up and down with his results anyways.

Another reason why I have no remorse for CFB coaches with the transfer portal, they're worse than the kids, IMO. Hope its worth the salary increase, see you in November

A positive, maybe OSU can now land RBs from SoFL

There has to be more to the story. Weird timing.

He can move on anyways despite a multi-year contract.

OSU can go out and get practically anybody they want within reason, so I am not too concerned. But they have to do something soon.
