Joining Urban at Jacksonville.

Bowen seemed to be one of the top couple recruiters on Franklin's staff, so this will likely hurt in the short run.........

Can't complain. Tyler Bowen was a fantastic coach at Penn State and it was just a matter of time before he got a big promotion. Unless we were making him OC, there was nowhere for him to grow at PSU. Adam Breneman, if we can land him in a lateral move, would seem like a great replacement but I'll be curious to see where CJF goes. Thanks for everything, Coach Bo.
 
Wonder if Tyler was ready for the change after being an interm OC for a bowl game and then not getting the permanent gig here (assuming he wanted it). Big loss for the program, but best of luck to him.

I hope CJF can do better than AB. I say that with nothing against the young man.

If CJF thinks AB would be best for the job, that works as well.

Adam is widely regarded as a rising star. It almost seems too obvious to bring him home so I'll be eager to see who CJF chooses to fill this role.

Its just really hard to keep good coaches these days, you either promote them or they are gone. Bowen wanted to be an OC and was passed maybe 2 or 3 times? Had to chap his ass. For shame.
 
JMO, but I don’t think AB has the pedigree just yet to land this type of job. Franklin probably knew this was coming and has a handful of guys with a bit more experience.

Yeah, that's fair. Looking at the quality of our TE room (and the recruits that are committed), we should have no trouble landing an A-list coach. Maybe CJF will seek an exceptional recruiter.
 
Ok
If I were Adam it would take a considerable pay raise to leave Tempe. They have put together a star studded NFL staff and the SCENERY out there is tremendous.
I hear ya. But if recent history has shown anything it’s that being on CJFs staff leads to promotions. Not sure if Herms history says the same

Why would Urban be interested in a TE coach who happens to be a great recruiter? Did Urbs forget he’s in the NFL and no longer needs to recruit or is there something more nefarious happening?

So the OSU tight end coach was not good enough for Meyer? Come on man. Good luck to Bowen.
