A good rule of thumb for coordinator positions...

If you are an elite college football program, your coordinators on both sides of the football should be innovative enough and capable of coaching up new talent enough to the point that they are head coaching prospects for other schools in major conferences looking to bring their programs to the next level.

A great coordinator will only last a few seasons at the most with a given school. There SHOULD be frequent turnover at those positions if you are making the right hires and they are doing their jobs.

Mike Bobo and Willie Martinez appear to be firmly planted at Georgia, because nobody else wants to touch them with a 10 foot poll. They are not head coaching material, and this is the end of the line for them until they get fired or are forced to resign, one.

I agree and good coordinators will want to come to your program so they too will have a chance to advance to those head coaching jobs.

Thats what I have been saying for a couple years now, if people wanted martinez he would have been gone already like van gorder, the only way he keeps a job is if WM keeps suckling on CMR teet.

Im not sure richt has done a good enough job making in roads for assistants since he only keeps ones that no one else will ever hire.

I said this yesterday via twitter, but...what if Brian VanGorder was our Erk, and we let him go?

Last year, two of our assistant coaches interviewed for head coaching positions, and neither one was one of our coordinators. What does that tell ya?

Hey sadlerdawg, Miami didn't even consider talking to CWM for their DC and he graduated from there. What does THAT tell you? AND that was when UM couldn't beat anybody.
