mild blow because of his "alleged" recruiting prowess,

however...

Yeah I figured that would be the case. Time to clean house on that side of the ball.

He was better than Jon Tenuta, but still, NICE MOVE.

The OL and RB coaches were fine in my opinion. There was substantial improvement in both areas this season. Unfortunately Ianello is gone, he was a true keeper.

Brown and Tenuta are great defensive coaches. I think the main problem on D was more about the "Jimmys and Joes" more so than the x's and O's. They nedd to recruit the hell out the secondary positions because there DB's were awful.

any wod on tenuta? I would rather kept C. Brown over Tenuta

I'm fine with it. Deuces.

I have read Kelly wants to bring in Bob Diaco, who served as his defensive coordinator at UC this past year. Prior to this year Diaco was at the University of Virginia where he coached with Al Groh. He played linebacker at Iowa. Kelly is very high on Diaco and sees him as a future head coach somewhere.

in other news, QB recruit tommy rees will be enrolling early

this is great considering our depth at the position.

He better not steal Luke Fickell away from Columbus . . .

In my opinion he can have Diaco! I didn't see much sense in playing a
3-4 defense when you are weak at linebacker and strong on the line like they did this year.
