Temple hires Geoff Collins

[OliveBranchDAWG]

So now add Florida to the mix looking for a new DC. I will never forget Mullen calling Collins' move from Starkville to Gainesville "a lateral move" two years ago. He was pissed.

I told you guys Collins would be a serious candidate if Mullen left.

Can they take our DC now?

 

[The Peeper]

Temple? Yuck. Surrounded by liberals, New Jersey, New York, snow, and smack dab in the middle of downtown Philly.

Temple won 10 games this year, so it's not a terrible job. He will get a bigger job if he can win at Temple for 2 years.

Damn. Parlaying a Florida DC position into a head coaching position at Temple seems...not the best strategy?

Maybe the guy has just gotten to thep oint where he can't stand working for another coach. Would have thought he'd have much better options if he were patient.

which is why i love this hire.

Well Lane Kiffens will be FAU's coach so I think Collins got the better deal. Can you imagine all the trim Joey Freshwater will be slaying in Boca Raton?

Mullen ran him off when he threw him under the bus (not sure if it was the that crashed or not) to the media after the Mississippi game in 2014. Collins accepted the Florida job shortly thereafter.

Salty pls

Great.. He can get some experience before he comes back to SVegas....

 

[DogStuckAtUM.sixpack]

This. My biggest complaint when Coach66 floated Collins' name as a possible replacement was he had zero head coaching experience. If he does well for two, three years, I'll be happy to have him.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Salty pls

you should have misspelled salty, but bravo, nonetheless

 

[Bulldogg31]

Wouldn't that be Joey Saltwater?

Umm, rumor is that Collins accepted the FL job BEFORE the '14 egg bowl.

He certainly quit coaching before it. We should never hire his sorry *** again.
