Dec. 7
Texas Tech: Texas Tech has announced Stephen Hamby as offensive line coach, Josh Cochran as tight ends coach and Kirk Bryant as a senior offensive analyst.
Clemson: Senior defensive assistant Wes Goodwin is a strong candidate to be elevated to a coordinator/co-coordinator role to replace defensive coordinator Brent Venables, reports Chris Low of ESPN.
Ohio State: The deal is done. Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles will begin work Jan. 2 as Ohio State's defensive coordinator.
Ohio State: Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles' name continues to gain steam at Ohio State. Knowles directed the nation's second-best defense this season, and Cowboys coach Mike Gundy has attempted to drum up support from his administration to offer him a bigger contract.
Virginia Tech: Florida State linebackers coach Chris Marve has been hired as Virginia Tech's defensive coordinator.
Colorado State: Nevada offensive line coach Bill Best is following Jay Norvell to Colorado State to coach the Rams' offensive line, a source tells 247Sports.
Virginia: Anthony Poindexter's camp is doing its due diligence examining the plusses and minuses of the Virginia job. The Penn State co-defensive coordinator and former Virginia superstar appears to be the top candidate, as reported by multiple outlets. Both Poindexter and Virginia athletics director Carla Williams are in Las Vegas this week for Poindexter's induction into the College Football Hall of Fame and have reportedly met to discuss the job left vacant by Bronco Mendenhall, who resigned unexpectedly last week.
LSU: McNeese State head coach Frank Wilson resigned this morning to become LSU's associate head coach. It's an incredible move for the Tigers. Wilson is a big-time recruiter in the state of Louisiana and previously worked for the Tigers.

Dec. 8
Florida: LSU cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond has been hired at Florida, where he will be assistant head coach for defense and cornerbacks coach on Billy Napier's staff.
LSU: Notre Dame special teams coordinator Brian Polian will follow Brian Kelly to LSU to be the Tigers' special teams coordinator, the school announced Wednesday.
LSU/Texas A&M: LSU was ready to offer Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher an eight-year contract worth $13 million per year, which would have been the largest contract in college athletics history, sources tell 247Sports. The news was first reported by Brett McMurphy of The Action Network. LSU athletics director Scott Woodward pursued Fisher for most of November but discussions were mostly one-sided.
Florida State: Randy Shannon is working on a deal to be Florida State’s linebackers coach. It should be finalized soon. He worked in off-field capacity as an analyst for the Seminoles this season.
Duke: With Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott now the top target at Virginia, Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko will be the name to watch at Duke.
SMU: Miami offensive line coach Garin Justice is the top target and is expected to be hired as SMU’s offensive line coach, sources tell 247Sports. Texas Southern running backs coach Khenon Hall has been hired as an assistant at SMU. He has strong recruiting ties in south Dallas.
Texas Tech: Oregon defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter and safeties coach Marcel Yates is headed to Texas Tech to lead Joey McGuire's defense, according to multiple reports.
LSU/Texas A&M: LSU heavily pursued Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher before landing Brian Kelly, reports Brett McMurphy of The Action Network. LSU was prepared to give Fisher an eight-year contract worth $13 million per season.
Nebraska: Now we know why Mark Whipple resigned Tuesday at Pitt. The offensive coordinator has been hired at Nebraska, the school announced today. Scott Frost has also added Chicago Bears assistant offensive line coach Donovan Raiola as offensive line coach.
Oklahoma: Ole Miss offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby is expected to accept the same position on Brent Venables' staff at Oklahoma, reports Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports. Lebby is an Oklahoma alum.

Yea that Clemson thing is about to be over
Posted on 12/10/21 at 9:24 am to CapstoneGrad06
On top of that, a lot of Clemson fans seem to think that if Tony Elliott leaves (which seems fairly likely; he's the rumored frontrunner for at least a couple of HC openings right now) Dabo will just promote passing game coordinator Brandon Streeter to OC lol. Clemson not accepting new cult members at the moment, apparently.

What's wrong with promoting from within?

I agree. Nate Oats has surrounded himself with long term coaches he trusts. And really, after going through years of shuffling coaches in and out, Saban has more familiar faces on his staff.

When you have smart people running a proven system? Nothing.
When your offensive system sucks and the guy replacing the guy leaving has no pedigree other than being one of your guys? And wants to keep doing the same thing? I'd have quite a few problems.

Called it. Not remotely surprising. I think Venables is the last guy he hired who didn't play for him, play with him, or play at Clemson before his time. He's never going to bring in anyone with fresh ideas and that program is going to wither on the vine.

IF that is true, this is the only reason Bama needs for never offering him when CNS choses to hang it up

Clemson's offensive system has never worked well and can't be adjusted or improved (fixed) without hiring outsiders? Dabo has no smart guys on his staff?

You don’t think bringing in coaches from outside the circle is a good recipe for continuing to maintain elite status?
Dabo’s coaching staff has evolved into a bunch of guys that played with him, for him, or have Clemson ties. The roster has a bunch of dead weight with kids who are sons of former teammates or friends.
It may continue to work. I don’t know. But it seems so risky to always promote from within.

I didn't say or imply that. But it does seem like Dabo has usually promoted from within and rarely hired new staff from outside.

You really do love to play the contrarian.

Going from one of the best DC's in the sport to a bag man calling plays. We saw how that worked out promoting Tosh.

Nah. Not interested in choosing sides. I'm not even familiar with Dabo's current staff or who he's really considering promoting or hiring. Does Tosh's inability to handle his promotion to DC necessarily mean Dabo doesn't have anyone on his staff capable of being successful as OC or DC? Notre Dame chose their new HC from within. Time will tell whether a hire or promotion works out well or not.
