Assistant Coach Brian Jones leaves BU

This is the perfect spot to enter Matt Lottich. I e always liked and respected him. When you talk about Coach Jones’ departure many this could play in, but Eastern Tennessee is beautiful country. The cost of living is much less and the property tax burden is a lot lower. You can easily make up a salary disparity from moving from Illinois to Tennessee.

Right. That won't get you much, but if an out-of- work coach like Lottich (or someone else recently fired) needs an immediate paycheck...

Most out of work head coaches probably don't need an immediate paycheck. For instance, Lottich received an extension in 2020 and was under contract through 2025. He could sit a year or 2 out if he likes.

Here are my 2 candidates for the assistant coaching job. Marcellus Sommerville or JaShon Henry

I agree Steve! I don't know what Ja'Shon's employment goals are for his future. As a fan, it would get great if Ja'Shon would be hired as an entry level coach. I've seen videos of coaches practicing with/against the players. The intensity of the practices would go to a new level when the new players get schooled by old man Ja'Shon!

Good point Old Coach, I didn't think that through. I would imagine someone like Lottich would want to stay relevant as an assistant somewhere in order to stay on the radar for future coaching opportunities. I would welcome a coach like that at BU, but I also wouldn't think he would want to play third fiddle to our two current assistants.
