DC Joe Gillespie let go

[ShreveFrog]

Screwed.

Dykes seems more interested in protecting coaches than improving and fielding the best staff and team. Telling the new DC three key position coaches from a regressing unit will remain, taking several weeks to announce the coordinator's dismissal ...

Sheesh, look at the last head coach for protecting staff. He was the poster child for that.

Possibly, Dykes was trying to have a new DC lined up before he let go of Gillespie.

Looks like a good hire. Proven successful DC.

Reading what is posted above and some other articles he is a base 3-3-5 but with multiple looks. Will rush four and five, the OL/DE are hybrids, he disguises and tries to keep the offense guessing.

Go Frogs

Probably.

 

[Limey Frog]

Probably.

Indubitably.

This looks like a very reasonable hire. A guy from outside the program with a history of success as a DC? That's all you can ask for. Some people really love to complain.

"JG has to go!"
JG let go: "What took so long?!"
New DC hired: "This guy sucks too!"

Whenever I need a good laugh, this board never disappoints.

 

[Big Frog II]

I like the hire.

Any idea why Avalos was let go midseason from Boise? It appeared he was having success. He was the MWC Coach of the Year in 2022.

The more I read, the more I like about getting Avalos as DC. The one drawback is that I do not see him staying more than one or two years.

From what I saw, he was not winning enough. A .750 conference record did not meet the Harsin standard of over .800 that was expected of him.

To add: Apparently Boise has a very high level of expectations. Good luck with their next hire.

He was only .500 for the season, and on the verge of Boise’s first losing season this century.

This board hates change, and the way things are.

If he’s successful enough to not stay long than we’ll just enjoy it while it lasts.

If only there was a third option

That's a short leash.

From what I have read he had a winning record his first two years. Not achieving national powerhouse recognition with the average record this year is what BS deemed as unacceptable. They’ve had more and wanted more than average.
I personally think we got a good one but how long he stays is another question. He is from the great Northwest. We will likely want to go back eventually.
Go Frogs!

Avalos is originally from Corona in Riverside County, CA, east of LA, but played at Boise State, then coached at Colorado, then back to Boise where he rose to DC, went on to become DC at Oregon, before coming back to Boise as HC.
If he's only at TCU for a couple of years, hopefully that means he was a big success in turning around our defense.

He’s from Southern California.

Yes. Originally. His playing and coaching history is from the great Northwest if you want to get technical. My point still stands that he will want to eventually return to his base which is either the great Northwest or West coast.
