I don't see red font so this is great news. 

FAU - THE REAL SLEEPING GIANT

Per Dieter:

Only 2 coaches are being retained…Dewitt and Jarred Allen.  Very happy that Allen is staying.  He should be at FAU as long as he wants to be.  Their roles are TBD.

So right now we know of 3 coaches on the staff: Dewitt, Allen, and Shula.  I'm thinking at least one current local high school coach will be on this staff.  I know Dieter has mentioned Roger Harriott from U School in the past.  He was hired at Syracuse as a RB coach a few years ago before deciding to return to his old job a short time later.  He was at the press conference yesterday.  Perhaps he will have a role on this staff.

YES on Jared Allen!

Very happy that Jared gets to stay. He is family at this point for FAU. Now we see who comes along for a tour on the Partridge Family bus.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

Any word on Watson staying?

He will only become a better recruiter learning under Partridge, and he's a good fit for the staff that CP is building here.

I know it's the nature of the business and coaches know the risk but I still feel for the coaches that will not be retained. They did a decent job this year and through no fault of their own they lose their job and will probably have to move their families. No matter how prepared for it you are it still has to hurt. Nice going Pelini.

From what Deiter tweeted sounds like he is a no-go. Only Dewitt and Allen are going to be retained.

Great to hear Allen is being kept. Should really help with this year's recruiting as he has relationships with many of the guys and was definitely the coach that continued recruiting the hardest after the whole Pelini situation went down and knowing they couldn't take any commitments.

Indeed, Carl (Now going to be known HWSNBN to me), hurt not only himself but almost every other staffer. His actions cost a LOT of people thier jobs.
