if i were wilcox, i'd stay one or two more seasons here and then get a major HC position. with what he is developing, he would be a very, very sought after candidate for many big programs in a few years.

Which is nuts considering we threw cash at him last year after being on staff one year. The no buyout gig that is.

As a rule, buyouts are only associated with lateral moves, are they not? This, it goes without saying, isn't.

So now they want someone on the cheap and good, they really do have Mike Hamilton helping them.

I think its customary for coordinators to only have buyouts for coordinator jobs not for HC jobs. I could be wrong...

What is shocking? I can't imagine any school placing a buyout on a coordinator from taking a HC job somewhere else. I'm sure there is a liquidated damages clause if Wilcox makes a lateral move to another DC job.

You're making some big assumptions. If Wilcox could get a decent head coaching offer or even a safer defensive coordinator position, he should strongly consider taking it.

I would argue that this is a pretty darn big job. Not top 20 but a good job. He better take it if offered and he will.

"If Arizona State doesn't go with Jones, former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti, former Seattle Seahawks head coach Jim Mora Jr. and current Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz have reportedly expressed interest in the job.
The Republic has also mentioned Oregon offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, Tennessee defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox, Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart as assistants who could be in the running." - Bryan Fischer

Arizona State has a team built to win now (they may well be the best team in the Pac-12 South), and I don't imagine it'd be a tough place to recruit with the reputation of their coeds.

If this comes open, there is no reason not to jump.

June Jones has agreed and will be the next HC for Arizona St. Wilcox is not going any where!!!!! Go to ESPN NCAA Football for facts:rtfm:

Then, you'd be insane. No defensive coordinator is going to land a much better job than ASU with no head coaching experience at all. He would be an idiot not to take the job.

Law only caught the last part of discussion but did Hubbs not report Wilcox would pursue jobs on the west coast.

Guess I hadn't thought about that but it would make sense. My issue is yes he's been pretty good but having a guy that is obviously wanting to leave in a rebuilding phase just seems like a dicey proposition.

Maybe that's why DD wanted to keep all the coaches he had he knows Wilcox will jump at any decent offer?

Somebody help me out, what is it they see in him? I know he is young and did a good job at Boise, but it did not look like much of a resume. Don't get me wrong I think he will prove to be a good coordinator, but I may not be that objective as someone from the outside.

That's more than a decent offer. He'd be crazy not to jump all over that. If I was Dooley, I'd encourage him to take that job.

I don't get that comment. What do you mean "obviously wanting to leave"? How many coordinators do you know that wouldn't leave for a bigtime head coaching offer?

Are you taking issue with hiring a DC who's good enough to get HC offers?

It'd be hard not to feel good for Justin if he got that kind of job, even though I'd feel bad for Tennessee.
