I met a lot of Indiana fans when I was there last year for Nebraska at Indiana, the one coach they wanted to keep was the running backs coach.

USC looks like they hired a great running backs coach in McCullogh.(spelling)

Mike Hart looks like a desperate hire to me. He is a job hopper.

Syracuse rushing attack was rated 115th last year.

Western Michigan Star Jarvion Franklin was recruited by Hart's predecessor at Western Michigan.

Coleman and Howard? I'd want to keep the guy who coached them as wel.

He does seem to hop around a lot. What's more concerning on a surface level is that he doesn't seem to ever get promoted into anything but a RB's coach.

I'm not sure what to make of the statistics, because a running game requires a lot of things beyond just a well trained RB; specifically an O-line. What kind of offense is Syracuse? They ranked 89th in terms of rushing attempts. At Western he took them from 71st in 2014 to 53rd in 2015. And Eastern just sucks almost always.

I wonder how he would do at a decent program. Right now he's been popping between conference bottom feeders. He's still pretty young so he still has time in his career to find his place. Though, I doubt it's with Debord at Indiana.
