I find it extremely odd he's not even a coordinator or position coach. That seems just bizarre.
Look around, man. These guys are taking title demotions all over the place to get out of the college game. Guys are taking demotions within the college game just so they don't have to be a head coach. I said this like a year ago but the CFB brain drain is going to be a real thing if the rules around the game aren't shored up quickly.
Honestly, it's a really good thing, IMO, that CMC doesn't have much in the way of coordinator background. He just does not strike me as someone who is going to love this recruiting environment and the amount of recruiting you have to do year round to keep your roster in-tact, not to mention that as soon as you find TJ Tampa or Jeremiah Cooper, there are programs offering them money to leave you. Nothing about this sounds fun at all and if they sit back and think about just coaching football, which is what they signed up for when the career path was chosen, it has to be incredibly hard to like where you're at. Chip Kelly had an awakening because his QB coach left and he spent bowl prep coaching QBs and realized that stuff is what he likes and he got to do none of it.
