MSU loses DL coach Marco Coleman back to GT
January 24th, 2023 at 11:19 AM ^
My apologies.
I didn't realize this was 3 weeks ago.
Feel free to nuke this post.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:21 AM ^
Were you locked in a tunnel or something?
January 24th, 2023 at 11:23 AM ^
lmao
Apparently I was
January 24th, 2023 at 12:06 PM ^
Don't worry, this was news to me.
January 24th, 2023 at 1:48 PM ^
That anybody still cares about MSU football? News to me too.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:39 AM ^
Yes. Just released when Michigan widened it in advance of next season.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:22 AM ^
Can’t blame a guy who wants to move up to a better program.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:37 AM ^
Can't blame a guy who doesn't want his boss to steal his bonus.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:22 AM ^
Is state keeping the duck dynasty coordinator?
January 24th, 2023 at 11:28 AM ^
Apparently, the king of the portal is taking a seat next to Harry.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:29 AM ^
Again?
January 24th, 2023 at 11:31 AM ^
Georgia Tech? I guess he wanted to coach at a school with a better chance at making the playoffs.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:31 PM ^
He's a GT alum that played on their 1990 national championship team. His departure from GT last year was a really bad look for their former coach. This just appears like the new GT coach getting the gang back together.
January 24th, 2023 at 6:53 PM ^
Appreciate the factual post.
January 25th, 2023 at 6:26 PM ^
The former coach was a moron, as were all the people that were adamant we transition to a shotgun spread rather than hire a Paul Johnson disciple.
Players and coaches alike fled in droves after a few seasons of incompetence, including Alabama All-American Jahmyr Gibbs.

I'll be the first to admit that I jump on Staee with both feet any time I can. However, it's said on here "if your assistants aren't getting poached then you're doing something wrong." Not saying that Staee is doing anything right, however there's a lot missing here. Did he get a promotion? Is he from the South and missed getting grits with every order? Does his wife hate shoveling snow?
Or maybe this, from the GA Tech web site: "Georgia Tech Athletics Hall of Famer and two-time first-team all-American Marco Coleman returns to Tech in 2023 as defensive line coach." He previously coached OLBs and DEs at Ga Tech, so his move to Staee was a promotion. Now he can make a lateral move and go back home.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:51 AM ^
Usually those assistants are either getting poached by better schools or getting a promotion (like going from position coach to coordinator). Is GT a better program than MSU? They might be given the state of MSU, but I doubt that. Seems like it's just a lateral move by a guy that wanted to go back "home." Or it could be that he saw MeLLLLLL is a shit coach and wanted to get out of dodge.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:01 PM ^
That's what strikes me as odd.
He left GT a year ago for MSU.
For him to now go back, I think it speaks to some bigger issues.
January 24th, 2023 at 3:16 PM ^
ATL >> EL
January 24th, 2023 at 12:46 PM ^
He's a horseshit FB coach in his own words.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:47 PM ^
Your giving "MeLLLLLL" too much credit. You missed an L.
January 24th, 2023 at 3:31 PM ^
My bad, it's hard to keep track of all the losses.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:14 PM ^
However, it's said on here "if your assistants aren't getting poached then you're doing something wrong."
That's true when it's clearly a promotion. If your coaches are leaving for lateral moves, you're doing something wrong.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:32 PM ^
Or your assistants just aren’t that good. Aka Gattis.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:40 AM ^
Brandon Jordan is the ace recruiter there and one would assume he upgrades his pass rush coach designation to DL coach.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:45 AM ^
Ya he's the DL coach I'd really like to see them lose. Bringing in boat loads of DL talent.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:51 AM ^
Not sold on Jobe as more than a situational guy, but that Dapaepe kid is going to be a thorn in our sides ala Willekes.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:08 PM ^
Plus the other DLs in the 23's, transfers, and guys they're in on for 24 and beyond. Credit where its due I suppose.
January 24th, 2023 at 2:00 PM ^
Jordan hasn't done anything yet. He can say he trains NFL guys all he wants, but he needs to develop guys in college. Training guys who are already in the NFL and need off season conditioning is not the same as developing guys out of high school
January 24th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
That's fair. But the ability to get talent through the door doesn't hurt.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:43 AM ^
One of MSU's bright spots was their recruiting on the defensive line and Coleman spurred that on. Will be interesting to see what happens now that he's gone.
It is a little weird that this is basically a lateral move both in terms of positions and schools. He's from GT so there's a connection there and they have a new coach but I would have assumed he'd be shooting for something more.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:22 PM ^
GT is a better school and program
January 24th, 2023 at 2:07 PM ^
I like to rag on MSU as much as the next guy but Georgia Tech is the better school but they absolutely haven't invested in their football program close to how MSU has.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:46 AM ^
Don't want to create a new thread for this crumb...
I noticed, as I'm sure others have, that Bill O'Brien is leaving his OC position at Alabama for the same position with New England.
I wonder if Weiss ends up at Alabama.
January 24th, 2023 at 11:54 AM ^
Id be willing to bet that Weiss ends up back in the NFL
January 24th, 2023 at 11:55 AM ^
Why would Bama want Weiss? Highly doubtful that is their move. Highly.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:18 PM ^
Yeah. Nick Saban can go in a lot of different directions for his OC. He doesn't need to target a guy with limited OC experience who just got fired for doing something criminal.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:20 PM ^
Saban needs a hacker?
January 24th, 2023 at 3:06 PM ^
would that be head hacker or co-head hacker?
January 24th, 2023 at 12:01 PM ^
Matt Pattricia/Matt Weiss co-coordinators on the next season of coach rehab.
January 24th, 2023 at 12:23 PM ^
Given that Last Chance U already exists, this is not hard to see as a spin-off.
January 24th, 2023 at 2:36 PM ^
Patricia to Bama???
January 24th, 2023 at 3:07 PM ^
patricia to the golden corral. package deal with charlie weiss.
incidentally, are you going to be our next QB coach? what did you tell harbaugh about how you worked with purdy?
January 24th, 2023 at 12:40 PM ^
If my boss was hording all the bonus money and keeping it for himself I’d want to leave, too.
January 24th, 2023 at 2:16 PM ^
This isn't Mark "The Hammer" Coleman, i'm going to guess.
January 24th, 2023 at 3:54 PM ^
A coach doesn't want to be on the staff of a horseshit coach that hordes their bonus, not shocked.
