Former Griz OC is new OC at Washington

[NWMTGRIZ1]

Reports have former Griz Jonathan Smith (2010-2011) joining Chris Peterson staff at Washington and will serve as OC/Quarterback Coach. Great to see former Grizzly Assistants moving up in the college football ranks.

Should be our next HC, but will probably never set foot back in WA Griz unfortunately.

Why is that?

 

[George Ferguson]

Hammer, I don't think Smith will ever be back at Wash-Griz because he's on the fast track. Went to coach Pete for just two seasons at Boise and is now a Pac 12 OC and Petersen won't bomb at UW so neither will Smith. The next stop will be a mid-major FBS head job, probably in the Mountain West, followed by a Pac 12 head job. That's my guess. Pflu new Smith was a bigtime up and comer.

The guy is average if that.. He's never set the world on fire.

Because as an O coordinator at a Pac 12 school he will probably make 3-4 times what a Big Sky HC would make.

That's not even close to being accurate. The average Pac-12 OC makes less than $350,000. The UW OC was at about $375,000, I believe. So, Pac-12 OC's make about twice what UM's head coach makes.

Eric Kiesau is making 400k this year with a 61k bonus= 461k. And upside is far greater in the Pac 12 than the Big Sky

I think Kiesau's base salary was going to be $415,000 or $425,000 for 2014. You throw in $60K to $80K in bonuses and that is at least 3 times what our head coach is making.

I predict that our next head coach will indeed be a former Griz coach who comes back to the roost after enjoying success on a much larger stage, but not Smith - Brent Pease.

Oh, please, no.

I'm not so sure I would be against that 68. I think his fire may be the thing this team needs.

His fire, maybe. His comportment, not so much.

Yeah I agree he was a bit of an ass when he was younger but I'm assuming he may have grown up a bit in the last 20 yrs? Maybe, maybe not, but with his resume' he at least deserves a look.

He made 600k base at Florida and a 237k bonus. What do you think the chances he would take the slight pay cut? He would be nuts to drop back to FCS.

Pays more than unemployment.

I don't remember the exact rankings but the last two years at Florida with Pease running the offensive they were outside the top 100 FBS teams both years. I know they had injuries that were unbelievable but they also have recruiting classes that are 4 and 5 star players. Of course he was also coaching against defensive of 4 and 5 star players.

Oh I would say a coach and a former Griz, but not a former Griz coach.
