Wow. One whopping year at UK. Man thats a lot of experience right there. The only reason anyone really knows this guys name is because Troy upset LSU by playong the game if their life. He has a seasoned OC thats been there for years.
You’re way off...in too many ways. Pruitt, Smart, Orgeron, Stoops, Mason and Odom were defensive coaches. Orgeron wasn’t a coordinator at USC when he got the Ole Miss gig or at LSU when he was promoted to HC (that would’ve pissed Aranda off) and Malzahn wasn’t “immediately” a HC at Auburn...he was at Arkansas State first. And NONE of that has anything to do with Neal Brown dropping down from a decent program that he’s excelling at to take a coordinator position to try to land a better HC job. Where are the Goody powders?Pruitt, Smart, Malzahn, Orgeron, Moorhead, Luke, Morris, Stoops, Mason, Odam, and Mullen were all OCs immediately prior to becoming an SEC head coach. Every head coach in the SEC other than Saban.
I left “or DCs” out of my post. Doesn’t change the point. I did forget about Malzahn’s stint at Arkansas State though. I also didn't include Muschamp or Fisher, who were both coordinators when they received their first big offers. That's 11 out of 14 head coaches in the SEC who were assistants prior to getting their first big head coaching job. The poster that said the trend is that big schools are hiring hot coordinators to be their head coach is absolutely correct.You’re way off...in too many ways.

At some point Saban was an assistant before he became a HC...it’s called HOW THINGS ARE DONE. That’s not what’s being discussed. How many SEC HC’s have voluntarily stepped down from a FBS program to take an OC or DC job and then leveraged a P5 HC gig? Moorehead comes closest but he still doesn’t qualify for what’s being proposed for Brown. 0 means no TREND.I left “or DCs” out of my post. Doesn’t change the point.

Kingsburuy knows it, Freeze knows it, and Neal Brown knows it. All of them will be hit with big offers if they do well as OCs next year. Troy isn’t getting better so if Brown hasn’t received a big offer already, why should he expect one if he stays at Troy?
You pointed to Satterfield, but he didn’t get a big job. He got Louisville and it took him 6 years of being Appalachian State's head coach to get it. Sorry to hear you are out of Goody powders.

What's being discussed is @Dustin4Vols comment that Neal Brown would have a better shot at getting a head coaching job at a big school if he were to take a coordinator job at a big school rather than remaining a head coach at a small school. The trend he was talking about was the trend of big schools hiring hot coordinators rather than small school head coaches. I've given you evidence of that trend. Not sure why you refuse to see it and frankly I don't care. You can argue with the wall if you'd like, but I've got nothing more to add.At some point Saban was an assistant before he became a HC...it’s called HOW THINGS ARE DONE.

Neal Brown isn't stepping down from his HC gig at Troy to be an OC at a mid-to-bottom-tier SEC school in its third rebuild in the the last decade who has to play Alabama, Georgia, and Florida every year. He's not going to tank his career with that sort of move.
He'll have another good year in 2019, and some P5 school will give him a shot as a head coach.
There were people that actually thought Gruden was coming here so.....No offense guys, but...You don't honestly believe this has even remotely realistic chance of happening do you?....Dude has it cooking at Troy right now and interviewed for and almost was hired at a Power 5 school with a solid recent tradition of winning and going to bowl games.
He was actually one of the handful of coaches I wouldn't have been appalled we hired as head coach during last years coaching carousel.
