How many coaches will be back in 2022?

Just a quick question. How many coaches will have moved on to new jobs by 2022? Isn’t the XFL setting themselves up for having to go through all that hiring again?

Yes. This is a complete relaunch. ie XFL 3.0FootballYoda wrote: ↑Sat Oct 17, 2020 11:52 pm Just a quick question. How many coaches will have moved on to new jobs by 2022? Isn’t the XFL setting themselves up for having to go through all that hiring again?
Some good points there ie these guys will have less offers. However the XFL rumor is no hiring till June 2021 so that's a ways off and some of these guys are looking for work. As you say they will be missing the next hiring cycle.GregParks wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 10:27 am If you're talking head coaches, only Pep Hamilton has moved on to a new job (QB coach for the Chargers).
There have only been a handful of position coaches who have left for other jobs (Vipers OL coach Jonathan Himebauch is now TE coach at Air Force; Renegades OL coach Jeff Jagodzinski is now an offensive assistant at Wisconsin-Whitewater to name two), but I think most remain on the market.
The issue was because the league ceased operations in March, by that point, most NFL and college staffs were filled for the upcoming season. So there were not a lot of options for the coaches. We'll see how many get new jobs in the next coaching cycle early next year. Ideally, the league has been or will be in contact with those head coaches they're interested in bringing back by that point so that can start building or re-building staffs.
Also worth noting many of the coaches like June Jones, Hal Mumme, Marc Trestman, etc, probably are not guys who are going to get a lot of major offers anyway. They were either semi-retired at the time or wanted a job that was going to be lower key than what college or NFL jobs would require (one of the reasons Bob Stoops was attracted to the position).
If the contracts are built the same way they were for the 2020 version, i.e. coaches could leave for better offers (remember the Stoops-to-FSU rumors?), it might not matter if they don't start hiring until June 2021 - they could hire in early 2021 and if the coaches get an NFL/College offer, they could leave anyway - again, if the contracts are set similar to the 2020 version.4th&long wrote: ↑Sun Oct 18, 2020 10:41 amSome good points there ie these guys will have less offers.

And the $$$ may not be there as it was in 2020.

This more or less nullifies moving the kickoff up five yards to make for more touchbacks in the name of safety. You could start allowing receiving teams to legally use the wedge blocking to give the returner a fighting chance.....or maybe adopt the XFL kickoff.....something has to be done before somebody gets hurt.
