1. Due to fan empathy/apathy and the current condition of the program, this hire is really a make or break hire for the Golden Eagle football program.
2. We now know that Jeremy will at least spend $750,000-$800,000 with the projection that the salary could be raised North of 1 million.
3. We also know from speaking to Jeremy that the assistants pay pool will be increased.
4. Multiple sources have told me that Freeze was interested in the job early on. Now after the success Liberty has had, he is getting interest from some P5 universities.
5. Austin Davis is interested in the job. He wants to be the next HC.
5. There has been interest from multiple people. Issue is, that due to the season really getting started all across college football now, they are being very quiet about who those guys are.
6. Looking at those who Jeremy has hired as head coaches, it is highly probable that the next HC will be an offensive minded coach.
7. It doesn't matter who the HC becomes, USM must invest in facilities and upgrading the amount of money spent. The fact that they spent a whole lot of money on upgrades to the M Club and built that new state of the art kitchen and now they can't even afford to pay staff to cook or even buy the food to cook has to change. I know that during Fall Camp that they had to feed the team burgers and fries while other schools were catering buffets in is a shame. Days like today are reasons why an IPF would be a great investment. Too many practice days are lost to bad weather.
8. This hire will depend on 3 things Jeremy must consider: 1. Will the hire excite and breathe life into a very discouraged fanbase. 2. Does previous head coaching experience factor heavily in Jeremy's decision. 3. Does Jeremy want USM as a stepping stone job for coaches. (If coaches are being hired away every 3 or 4 years then the program is successful.)
9. Will Jeremy choose a coach he has had dealings with in the past? Does his familiarity with someone play a role? (Lindsey at Troy as an example.)
Just some overall thoughts and some knowlege I have of the current situation.
