since you brought them up: 1. Their Staff directory is also inaccurate as their AD position is currently vacant. 2. They have 5 people within their SI Staff compared to the 4 we currently have. That'll have to change, of course. If anything, we as alumni need to make sure we help to hold our AD and Chancellor accountable regarding adding the funding needed to expand the budget that's needed for increased salaries, expanded roles on the staff, and most importantly, improved facilities for the student-athletes that choose to play for our teams. From Bowling to Football, and everything in between. I've received word that this stuff is happening. We just have to help make sure it will. End of story.

Sir, you just spent the last two months telling everybody to have patience and downplaying any issues within our athletic department and football program. How can we hold our AD or Chancellor accountable when you are constantly trying to make it seem like everything is perfect?

How can we hold our AD or Chancellor accountable when you are constantly trying to make it seem like everything is perfect? To pull my best OSA impression, I’ve never said things were “perfect.” However, I said, based on conversations I’ve had that items were in progress of improving, and to have patience as these items happened. I’ve also said we’re understaffed in our SI Department and there’s an opening for an outside source to provide the Spring Football updates y’all are looking for outside of the clips posted to IG.

Coaches are leaving because of lack of leadership at the top, they know just like we do Washington isn’t right for the job. They will be unemployed after next season as a member of Washington’s staff.
Walking out the door is their vote of no confidence in him, really simple. It’s not Hilton’s job to hire assistant coaches or get them to stay, Hilton’s job is resources and hiring and firing head coaches.
The school is not going to fire Washington for one bad season, his fans …many on this board would be up in arms. Furthermore, they aren’t going to pay him $300k then bring in another coach and pay $350-$400k simultaneously.

Or maybe he really wanted a chance to coach at his alma-mater? Or maybe he saw the Hilton 5 Year Plan (the writing on the wall). Whatever the reason, he's gone, we should wish him the best of luck (except on an annual scheduled Saturday each year)! Him leaving is the minor issue. The major issue is what's next for us. This brings the total replacements to three (I think). In my mind that's three huge holes, that's what we need to address. Not to be in a rush, but the clock is ticking to get to a reasonable level of familiarity, communication, structure, role, responsibilities all the intangibles that make organizations successful because of continuity. I don't think that can happen four weeks in August. We’re moving to one of the top FCS conferences. All positions MUST be filled with CAA level staff within the next few weeks. If not we’re not going to win very many games for the foreseeable future. If we ain’t doing CAA level sheeet already then we don’t need to be headed there. Not filling positions or updating the website no matter the reason is not CAA level sheeet. As for Coach Coard, I’m anxious to see how his defense looks at that collection of buildings up 85.

BTW: I guess this pretty much means our offseason recruiting is about to grind to a halt.
We aint attracting no high level transfers with this much uncertainty in our program.

All of that uncertainty could be changed in an instant.

Or we could do like Westcoast suggests and just continue to wait patiently.

Coaches leave because that's how the coaching field works . They come and go period . No competent assistant coach worth having wants to stay and assistant . The question I would have is why would a competent coach that is worth his or her salt 🧂 would just hang around and remain a assistant, position coach for less pay and not try to move up , lateral or down for a Head Coaching , Coordinator Position and more pay . A lot on here are making a Dust up out of nothing because of the timing but the facts are coaches come and go , unless they have nowhere to go so they just hangout where they are 😆

I highly doubt that is the case... Why would the AD interview the potential OC, DC or special teams coach? Its not their staff That is micromanagement and I highly doubt any good AD would operate that way.

All coaches in the athletic department are under the sway of the AD . That is not micromanagement that is knowing your subordinates. Good AD'S do it all the time . That is the difference between the good to great programs and the ones that are going through the motions.

You get to know your subordinates once the HC has hired them... Campbell has 21 sports, so the AD interviews every assistant that the head coaches want to bring in? Ohio State sponsors 37 sports, that is a lot of interviews for the AD to conduct.
