OSU's Mike Yurcich to UT??
- Thread starter Delco Lion
- Start date
Multiple outlets all using a Brett McMurphy tweet as their source, which is likely just an agent game for him to get more money at OSU
I think Franklin has his OC locked up already, just waiting for the end of bowl season.
That's what got me thinking about Beck - the article says he has another gig lined up after Texas' bowl game, and CJF is waiting until after the bowl season to announce...
Just musing it....no idea if it will happen or not.
not claiming this as inside info just a discussion with a coworker who is a bucknut alumni and follows quite closely. Rumors are going around in Cbus that Yurcich is not well liked by the staff and Day May have asked him to look elsewhere. Seems he has an abrasive personality.
I only bring it up as his name has been thrown out there in connection with the PSU OC job.

Beck is a good recruiter but never was that impressed with him as a coach at Nebraska and Texas.
If he was let go then Franklin wouldn’t have to wait until after the bowl season to announce Beck.
That makes some sense since it makes no sense otherwise. You have a QB likely to be #1 or 2 for Heisman where you're at vs a HC that is likely gone if they lose 3-4 games next year.
Yurcich may also not be pleased that Day calls most of the plays. Having your salary doubled is also hard to turn down.
The guy was let go by Texas and you think he is in line for the PSU OC position? SMH.

I would not let that impact my judgement. Wasn't JuJaun Seider "reassigned" to TE coach or something under the new Florida staff?
What was posted? It is dumb to think Penn State is after a guy who was demoted. It's a backhanded swipe at CJF and Penn State football.
He was let go effective after the bowl...so I would say that means fired.
Yes he was reassigned by Mullen, but his RB's results were pretty good and most people were surprised he was pushed into the TE coach role you mentioned. Seider has to be one of the top 10-15 position coaches hired by PSU in the past 40+ years. What a hire by JF.
Just his recruiting in Florida makes him top 10. Add a very good RB room and he is easy top 10.
Not that CJF would care about public relations regarding putting together his staff, but it wouldn't be a good look to hire an OC that was just let go at a name program that is failing to live up to it's name.........
I agree. Just pointing out that a "reassignment" should not be an automatic dis qualifier when looking for a hire.
As I was agreeing with you!
Things happen sometimes. With that being said, I dont think Beck gets a free pass on UT's O under his watch.
Suspect this move was not a reflection of Seider as RB coach, but Mullen bringing his own RB coach with him and wanting to keep Seider on staff.
Did't Herman call the plays?As I was agreeing with you!
Play calling was very convoluted with both calling plays over the past several years. Not sure who called what in 2019. Herman did say in the past week at a golf outing he wants the new OC to call the plays.
They better pay him a lot of money.... it’s a serious risk as Hermann is on the hot seat and better beat OU and go to a NY6 or he might be goal. No more 4-5 loss seasons. Texas and Florida State lead the nation in wasting talent. Incredible how they have recruited over the years.
I guess that’s where Franklin is going next....read all about it starting in September.
