Chip Long - New OC

Well, Miami is about to pay $8M annually for their coach. We just don’t shop on the same aisle as our peers. You’re going to pay more for a coach that doesn’t have any baggage. It doesn’t mean they aren’t solid for us.

Where do they get their money from? Their attendance sucks too.

On that note, I am very curious what kind contract we are giving Long. Million dollar salary for OC has been thrown around a lot but did we actually do that in this case?

When’s the last time Pnode was a finalist for the Broyles? I’m going to be optimistic until Chip gives me a reason not to be.

Dude, in coaching circles that Broyles nomination was a lifetime ago, with a stacked Roster of future NFL ND OLineman and a few high level Skill Players that also had their chances in the NFL.

What did Chip Long show most recently at Tulane?

Another question, how does a Broyles Finalist OC from ND not end up as hot name HC Candidate somewhere, there has to be a reason he fell into CFB oblivion at a place like Tulane?

What special strategies and methods is Chip Long gonna show play-calling behind a porous OLine?

I can understand going out and getting Lincoln Riley's understudy, but going to the "Dollar Tree" of Coaching Hires and bringing this guy in is making a cosmetic change to try and pull the wool over the eyes of GT FB Fans.

Mr Knox and those Athl Board Guys are trying to pull the CFB version of the "banana in the tailpipe", you guys can fall for it.

I won't

This is a higher profile hire than Patenaude. He’s apparently known for being a hard ass which is something we desperately need on this team. I’m going to support this hire. Let’s see if they bring in a new qb coach and get those OL and QB transfers for next year. Then we might just be ok.

Hopefully he's a hard ass on our squish of a HC.

I wonder if there is any easy way to get data on this to see how statistically significant "previous school sentiment" is to success.

Yeah, you’ll have to download all the twitter posts about a coach. Then you assign values for words as tags. Then you scrub the entire days for those tags and calculate values for each tweet. Then you can compare it to coach’s record afterwards. Teradata Vantage can do all that.
 
Maybe we made our move too soon?

The Carolina Panthers just fired Joe Brady that helped LSU win a CFP Title 2 yrs ago.

I wonder would a guy like that be in our Budget?

Chip Long, with guys like Joe Brady floating around, we must have come in with a low-ball offer

I remember Temple fans being excited at Geoffs departure.. so I’m biased on this data so far

On the one hand, the people who know the coach better are more likely to have an accurate assessment, on the other hand, the people who have more irrational dislike of someone are proportionally likely to express their pleasure at a departure.

For player transfers I'd almost expect the effect to have negative significance, because we always tend to downplay transfers out, "didn't need him, didn't fit the system, etc". I wonder if any of that is typical of coach hires.
