Temple Football Forever 
Only box Todd Orlando checks is he knows how to get to campus being he coached a few seasons at Penn. Might know where to get a steak sandwich as well. No big time exposure prior to this past season in Austin. I don’t count the many seasons at UConn during their Big East years.
I agree with regards to Orlando and Elko for that matter. Of all the coordinators mentioned in this process so far, Diaz included, the only one I liked was Brown given his HC experience. To me Carey doesn’t seem to be a bad choice, winning record as a head coach, only 47, on the down side his bowl record and lack of exposure here in the northeast. Fran Brown, Infante, Foley and DiMichle should help there. Don’t understand the “instant” dislike for this name over on the TUFB Facebook page. One of the “negative” comments is “he seems to have done better with other peoples players”. Well if he can do that the next 2 years here, he’ll be one up on Collins. Also, isn’t that exactly what Diaz would have done as we all know he wouldn’t have been here long enough to do anything with many of his Temple recruits. To me Carey isn’t a flashy choice but looking at his resume I think TUFB could do a lot worse.
NO NO NO to Carey. he had 10 and 11 win seasons his first 2 years wiith another coaches talent. Since then 8-6, 5-7, 8-5, 8-6. lost every bowl game. has taken NIU from cream of the MAC to middling.
I can understand having concern about Caret’s Bowl record but as far as having his best seasons with other people’s players that’s basically all we were going to get with Diaz, he wasn’t going to be here to do much with his recruits. Plus Collins didn’t even do that as well as he should have in his 2 seasons here. The talent is here to improve on this years record
what type of offense does NIU run?
pro set
https://www.hustlebelt.com/2018/11/13/18053992/assessing-the-strengths-and-weaknesses-of-the-rod-carey-era-at-niu
leave the OC at NIU, Temple has to throw the ball down the field.
This IS getting old now for me, I trust for a few others also.
In the last 10-12 we have had 5 coaches, true ?
In the past 12 years I have watched ( DIAZ on TV only, but he was HC)
Diaz, Collins, Rhule, Daz, Golden , wow.
If middling is winning the most recent Mac title, I will take middling
Mike reading the majority of the reactions over on FB you would think Carey is worse than Berndt-Dickerson-Wallace. Would he be my top choice, probably not but I would take him over Orlando. I mean if middling is a consistent 8 win team with being in the mix for an AAC title, I’ll take it. I think any of the MAC head coaches you mention would be better than the “hot” coordinator
Thank God I can’t read the Temple Facebook page; my blood pressure is high enough as it is
The true believers on the other site are dazzled by bright lights and P-5 coordinators. They fit the definition of insanity-doing the same thing time and time again, namely hiring the hot coordinator, and believing that this time, he’s going to stay. Kraft suffers from the same disorder. He, too, believes that the next coach won’t up and leave at the first opportunity while he himself always keeps one eye on the exit door. Like I said last week it’s time to throw that model out and take a chance on hiring the plain Jane coach who doesn’t dazzle except on the field on game day.
If it’s not P5 coordinator’s it’s non stop Fran Brown in the next Dabi Sweeney over there!!! Carey looks like a solid candidate and some of the arguments against are unbelievable. I’m just afraid Fran Brown could be a great recruiter but could have a couple year learning curve before he is even a serviceable HC. There is too much talent coming back next season to waste it on another on the job training coach
Preach to the heathens over there, JD 🙂
im starting to think don brown might be best. his record as a HC isn’t too shabby
Like his resume the best of the coordinators
If you believe only Rod Carey or Lance Leipold can do a job equal to or better than Collins (who, to me, was just above a snake oil salesman), that’s a mistaken line of logic. There are plenty of coaches out there who are BETTER than Collins. I would rate guys who would do a better job than Collins as the following: 1) Leipold; 2) Carey; 3) Golden; 4) Chris Creighton; 5) Butch Jones; 6) Butch Davis; 7) Todd Bowles. I’m sure there are more. I am not ready to put Fran Brown in the above group, nor Schiano and DEFINITELY NOT Ed Foley, who would be coach now if he had beaten both Wake and Duke. He scared the shit out of everyone with how poorly he coached the two bowl games. I would not even allow him to be interim coach again.
schiano just let go from ohio state. they hired Michigan defensive line coach to be their defensive coordinator. not don brown!
from a pro HC to the FCS is not the desired career path
Schiano took a fcs job?
no, but that is the career path he is on..,
Let’s hope so, KJ. I would have interviewed him but I heard so much bad stuff about how much a control freak he is that I’m confident Pat Kraft gave him a hard pass. Kraft is trying to get a guy who will preserve at least three, maybe four, coaching staff guys and he might only have old Indiana teammate Carey agree to those terms. If so, I say hire him. It’s important to me to keep Fran Brown, Gabe Infante, Adam DiMichele and Ed Foley. Not as important as getting a proven winner as HC, but ideally you can get both.
looks like Arians and Bowles are moving to Tampa Bay
KJ, one reason why I’m concerned about how this search is going round 2. If Bowles was under consideration for the HC position the minute it looked like Arians was interested in getting back into the NFL Bowles could be joining him as DC.
Would have loved Bruce and Todd here for a couple of years to stop the bleeding and let the kids know that there are Temple people who care about them and Bruce, while adopted, has proven to be a Temple person since he left in 1988.
