Welcome home #13! Back in Evanston as a GA. He'll have a lot to work with over the next couple of years.
Dayton University?
I'm glad he's coming to the University of Northwestern...
Never even heard of Kutztown University before.
Is Mark still on the staff?I've always loved Deonte and felt he was a great leader and worker.
I like to see them bringing in someone to work with the receivers. Some new ideas and fresh eyes should help.
Is Mark still on the staff?
Yes, in the recruiting department.
In the same announcement that included Gibson's hire, NU announced that it brought in the WR coach from Dayton as offensive GA to work with the wideouts -- he was a DII All-American at Kutztown.
So is this a step up for the WR coach? or an opportunity to get experience and a Masters? How does that career path run?
Many (most?) coaches at lower levels will jump at the opportunity to get a P5 program on their resume, especially if they're still relatively new in the profession. Working to get a "seal of approval" from Fitz is also a pretty good deal for a young coach.
And will he end up with a degree?
Don't think that's any of our business.And will he end up with a degree?
Yes, in the recruiting department.

Well, sure. I'm just trying to figure out the difference between a GA and a assistant coach. The WR GA has some nice experience with smaller programs. So stepping up to a P5 program is good for his resume, I'm just wondering if there are trade of for him. I have always assumed that a GA is in a degree program of some kind but maybe not.Don't think that's any of our business.
GA's are ALL in degree programs. Whether they get the degree is up to the individual GA. They're foolish if they don't. They're simply graduate students with a graduate assistantship through the university. That's how most graduate students pay for their tuition (free...paid for by the university), food, and housing, i.e., they work for the university as research assistants, teaching assistants, lab instructors, or in this case, assisting with coaching football. The amount one receives as cash is small (perhaps $20K per year), but tuition is entirely paid for.
Didn't your daughter receive a graduate research or teaching assistantship as a masters student at NU?
No, the Speech and Language Pathology degree at NU is in such high demand, there isn't much financial assistance. As I understand it. They do have something like 99% placement with in 60 days of graduation. My daughter had job offers 6 months before she graduated and a contract signed at her most preferred job 3 months before she graduated. Now she has head hunters calling here regularly from all over the country. It doesn't hurt that she can do speech pathology in both spanish and english.
She is so much smarter than me.
Oh, and why not attend Iowa or Wisconsin, which have more highly rated programs according to USNews and are presumably cheaper?
Maybe this is none of my business, too.
