Breaking: Charlie Partridge to be hired as FAU Coach

Post

This is good news from coachingsearch:

FAU: A source tells me Charlie Partridge plans to hire several coaches with vast recruiting experience in the state of Florida. Don't be surprised if Partridge targets former Texas and Mississippi State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz for his defensive coordinator position.

I'm hoping a few of our current assistants are retained as well, but I love the strategy of brining in guys with strong backgrounds in Florida.

Mixed feelings on Manny Diaz, but no doubt he's a hell of a recruiter

From what I saw, he was getting paid 700k at Texas,  I wonder if he would take that kind of pay cut.

I spoke w a couple of Big 12 coaches today about the issues at Texas. Not one of them thought getting rid of Manny would be a smart move.

Interesting

Pay cut?  Wouldn't he still be getting paid by Texas?

Contract Buyout/Severance 
Back to the top

I mean he would pretty much have to get no other job offers to come here even with his severance. Why get your severance money and the 100k or so here when he could be making more than that somewhere else. Unless he has a Really good relationship with Partridge and wants to work for him.
