Analyst Micah James Hired by Golesh

[Volunteer_Kirby]

SIAP

Head Coach Alex Golesh has announced the addition of Micah James as running backs coach on his second USF staff as the Bulls continue with offseason conditioning ahead of the March 5 beginning of spring practices.

An All-Sun Belt Conference center at Middle Tennessee, James comes to USF after two seasons as an offensive line coach at Utah State and last season working as an offensive analyst at Tennessee. In his 10 seasons as a collegiate coach, James has been a part of three conference championship teams and six bowl games.

"Coming from Tennessee and working closely with the SEC's top rushing offense last season, Micah joins our staff with a strong understanding of our offense and the importance of the run game in it," Golesh said. "A standout center as a player, he is a coach with 10 years of experience and great football intelligence, and he will connect very well with our players and staff. We are very excited to welcome Micah to our Bulls family."

Dang it !!! Was hoping he would stick around and work with the new RB coach for some consistency in that room.

That said, it's a great move for Mr. James and a nice hire by Golesh...USF gonna surprise a lot more people this year.

I don’t know how I feel about him poaching so many of our coaches. Maybe CJH is good with it giving them promotions

I think it cuts both ways, but is probably friendly. Golesh is on Heupel s coaching tree, and they probably help each other a lot too - referalls, inside info, etc.

It’s a promotion of an ANALYST. He starts stealing on-field coaches and the worry circle can recalibrate.

I think it’s speaks to the strength of our program when others start coming after our staff. Just my 2 cents

 

[greenbacknative]

Any rumors back there about replacements for the 2 we lost ?

I guess "worry circle" is the trendy thing to post these days. I guess that's the 2024 name for negavols

Does this mean our RB coach will come from outside?

Yes, no direct access garage parking near the complex.

That's a definite yes, IMO. I believe we end up really happy with our new RB coach. As far as our LB coaching vacancy, I'm not sure.

While I recognize there are people who will always pump sunshine when objectively there is no sunshine to pump, and people who will find a dark cloud even when there isn't one, here there really need not be a pumper/nega dynamic at work, this is a guy getting a big promotion, so honestly not much to see other than a dude bettering life for himself and his family. He probably knew he wasn't being promoted, so it made sense.

It's just business. Hey NCAA, I got an idea. Why not promote NIL for position coaches?

With new names being dropped, it doesn't sound great for the RB spot. LB spot seems to have just started to get serious.

It will give analyst more experience. If Golesh is successful we might be hiring them back in 3 years.

Let's not make this any messier than it already is.

Shhhhh. The general public knows nothing about our circles lol. Those are on a "need to know" basis man. Gotta keep the riff raff out and whatnot.
