Hearing that Erickson is retiring and ARod is not being retained.

Can anyone confirm?

Yep. This is legit. KW announced the changes today. I’m fine with letting ARod go as long as we have a better replacement lined up.

Sad to hear about Erickson’s retirement. He single handedly elevated our recruiting.

Bad and good.

Bad: We lose Erickson.  I sure hope Kyle replaces him with someone who can continue our recruiting presence in Florida because he can’t replace him with anyone who has that kind of experience.  I also hope this doesn’t affect any of our Florida kids already on the team.

Good (hopefully): The offense is going to get a shake up.  Just how much of a shake up we’ll see, but we’re down a QB coach so it looks like most of us who were hoping for a new QB coach are going to get our wish.

Hopefully coach Erickson stays around in some capacity (i hear he likes High Point Whiskey) and Hallelujah!

If true it makes me extremely disappointed about one and ecstatic about the other.

Interesting to see Chip Kelly shown at the Foster Farm Bowl game with Utah’s pre game packet…

Chip Kelly as Utah’s OC would be AWESOME…

Not going to happen. Chip Kelly could pick his HC job at the college level. He isnt going to be a college coordinator.
