Sunseri to ucla…..

I get it. That gives me some confidence that Shanahan hasn't locked into leaving IU, at least just yet. I would imagine coach Cignetti was aware (if not helping) Sunseri around this offer to go to UCLA. If so, I would then assume a conversation with Shanahan took place to see if he was going to take a long look at any schools. I'd imagine Sunseri would've stuck around and taken the OC role at IU had Shanahan been planning to leave.

Then again, Shanahan might not yet know and Sunseri needed to take it or leave it and so he took it. Maybe Sunseri wanted to go out West or maybe he comes back to IU if Shanahan ever leaves.

In either case, I'm happy for him and wish him luck....except for against us!
 
A problem with success is losing assistants to HC positions with other schools. Happens to most every school.
Teri Moren has predominantly kept her staff. Only one, Glenn Box, left for a HC position. I don’t personally know any coaches so I can’t say what makes someone go or stay.

I imagine every assistant coach, especially the ones that have never been head coaches, dream of being a head coach. They aren't in it to be a yes man and play second fiddle. That isn't to say they don't enjoy themselves but all of them plan to be head coaches, some just wait for the right opportunity. Tino needed to be the OC somewhere so it feels like a no-brainer.
