I figured he wouldn’t do it just because taking Polian off the field will limit what he can do in recruiting. However, if Kelly is good with him being in more of an org/admin role, then maybe it’s not a big deal limiting his direct interaction with recruits. And it’s not like this staff isn’t stocked with guys who can handle that.

I just appreciate Kelly being proactive and willing to make a move on someone he has a close working relationship with. Knowing this, people need to settle down on Denbrock now. If he doesn’t work out long-term, Kelly will move on from him too. He’s made that move before.

Thank you touchdown Jesus.
I want someone with the last name of BEAMER to come coach ST!

How bout getting Frank and/or or Shane in here.

That would be the perfect BK Alignment hire and $$$$ would do it.

As I used to post when I was yelling for LSU to hire Kim Mulkey, "Pay them what they want, get them in here and be done with It."

Is it correct that the Players don’t have to refer to him as “Coach” any more?

They can just call him Brian.

Doesn’t the NCAA only allow a certain number of “recruiters”. Allowed to visit prospects?

I think the number is nine but unless something has changed they don’t have to be coaches, like when LSU used Austin Thomas as an off campus recruiter instead of Pete Williams.

He has other significant value to the program. Good call to make a change at special teams.

I was wondering the same thing. Doesn’t the NCAA only allow a certain number of “recruiters”. Allowed to visit prospects? I’m guessing you would want Polian to be in that number.
I get the impression that we are losing Polian in that role. However, I think those rules only apply to the incoming freshman class that you sign. They don't apply to transfers.

he’ll help manage the roster, NIL and the transfer portal in a GM-type role.
Looks like we are making him the lead recruiter for transfers, which are now just as important as the incoming signing class. If so, this was fricking brilliant. BK just removed a liability and turned it into a major asset.

I bet CBK was waiting for the coaching changes board to close before going ahead with the Polian move.

Jordy said this morning that this is just a temporary job for Polian until he finds another job somewhere else. He said people on the building, a lot of high school coaches and recruits didn’t like him and recruits that we recruited and signed told Brian Kelly that they don’t want to talk to him because they have nothing in common.

Yes, we are either going to hire the current South Carolina Head Coach to become our ST Coordinator, or an 80 year old retired coach who is currently on the AD staff at VT.

I can never tell if your posts are all just satire and trolling, or if you are mentally unstable. Or both

Polian was never a fit here. His gun control rants on social media probably didn’t sit well either.
