I wouldnt be surprised if Al Washington and Stuckey leave as well. Really hope we keep Mickens though. Don't disagree about Golden or Deland, although I'm sort of optimistic ND keeps Golden for one last year. I agree that I think Deland is gone, whether it's to be an OC somewhere or HC somewhere (likely, the MAC). Curious as to why you think Washington and Stuckey might leave? I feel like Washington is boys with Freeman, and he really had a great season with the DL, which was a bit of a question mark heading into the year. I don't think he'd be up for a DC role anywhere, so not sure he would leave for another DL coach job somewhere. On Stuckey, I think he is a rising star, but my hunch is ND has him for at least another year or two. He is bringing in high quality recruits - the best WRs on the roster are freshman and more studs are coming in 2024. I think he'll stay to develop those guys, but I can see him having opportunities to go elsewhere. I just think he'll want to stay with the WR room that he recruited and is developing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYGoldenDomer 2,046 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I hope the administration throws enough money to keep everyone on board for at least one more season. I want to see how this staff sees through everything they're building together. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching vacancies happen every season. There will be openings next season too. However, I cannot fault anyone for wanting to leave for their dream job, even if its a shit job ala Clark Lea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffV 331 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Yes, pay them! But a lot of younger position coaches are trying to climb up fast, so they'll take a coordinator gig when their stock is high. ND has a number of position coaches that are really good recruiters, too. They can cash in on that, too. McCullough, Mickens, Stuckey. These guys seem like they are tracking to be HC's at some point, and coordinators sooner than later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDhoosier 1,231 Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Just be prepared guys, a staff rarely stays together after a season. Deland is probably a sure thing to move on, I would put money on it. Golden may wait for the right spot open up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big23Head 2,276 Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 There is a US Army Bowl again. Not to be confused with the All American Bowl which once was the US Army All American Bowl. It takes place tonight. Micah Gilbert, Leonard Moore, and Bodie Kahoun are playing in it.
