Save Yourself First

Brian Kelly is purging his staff, even long time friends with a desperation that begs the question that he will be cut loose if there is not a complete reversal of 2016. Most of these guys are just Div 2 coaches that Kelly dragged around for 20 years.

The latest casualty is Mike Denbrock who is going to Cincinnati. Special Team coach Booker was the first to get the axe. Strength Coach Paul Longo will be reassigned.

New Hires include Brian Polian as Special Team coach. And in all likelihood new DC Elko will bring some of his Wake Forest coaches.

Reportedly Kelly is looking for a new OC but I expect he will have a real hard time here as he simply must run the “O” himself as he is the smartest coach in any room he’s in… So it will be some flunky with Kelly calling the plays.

In other news UConn HC Bob Diaco was fired after 3 years after turning in a 11-26 record. He does have a buyout worth about 3.5 mil.
