AK can coach. He was a volunteer for a personal reason. He was quickly elevated to O-Line coach. That position is a highly valued commodity. A HC doesn't just give that position to a rookie. Trust me, AK is a stud and we need him. Recruiting aside, the guy has a motor that never stops. Our Geritol group has to slow him down.

Try this one:

The Diva pulls a mea culpa and stays.

Surfer Dude (good one stallion) runs back to Hawaii

Promote Klemm to OC/Asst. Head coach

Mason goes to take the Fresno State job

McMacking reunites with Jones as the DC

Pony up some cash and keep Mason. Take care of AK. Surfer dude can go anywhere.

Fresno State is probably looking for someone different than Mason. http://www.fresnobee.com/2011/12/04/263 ... hoice.html

To clarify, by "he" I meant McMackin. He was the OC for Jones at Hawaii, and I think him not coming was the reason we never hired an OC. Bring him in as an OC and give us a potential head coach in waiting. It will help out with recruiting as well, especially if Klemm leaves.

JJ and the lemmings should add more lemmings....

head coach in waiting- you have to be kidding. Check his record at hawaii. That is why they ran him off.

GO PONIES!!!

McMackin was the DC at Hawaii. June has no OC because he calls all the plays. Making AK OC would be okay because JJ would still call the plays and could just mentor him into the position IMO.

Far more beneficial to mentor Klemm and designate him the HC in waiting.

GO PONIES!!!

I dont think JJ will promote AK to OC above the other lemmings...lots of egos in that bunch, weird considering they do no work

If JJ leaves the only two in that group that are worth trying to keep are Mason and Klemm. Since they didn't follow him from the 'floating turd in the pacific' I wonder how much loyalty they have to him as opposed to getting a lot more money and higher level position.

GO PONIES!!!

they would leave him...but pretty sure jj isnt going anywhere for a year

All the more reason the university/CofC needs to start planning and organizing now.

Yeah, personal reason being that Klemm is loaded (i.e. doesn't need the money) and is loyal to June. So before all you guys start anointing Klemm as the next messiah to step into June's shoes, remember that Klemm is extremely loyal to June and is more than likely to follow June if he goes somewhere else.

IMHO it's in our best interests to keep this coaching staff in tact.
