Speaking of Wisconsin’s running game next year, I believe Johnathan Taylor will be leaving early for the NFL.
He is indeed leaving early. They usually have a good running back but I can't imagine that the new one is as good as him.
I always think we have a chance, regardless of the opponent. However, not having to worry about him definitely ups our chances with this one. That guy is a beast.

Not to go off topic as I was thinking of coaches Clark might be able to bring in and thought about Searels and Acitelli. I did not realize, and didn't check earlier in the season when App played them, but there are several former App coaches/players on UNC's staff besides Mack.

One can hope! But Whisky seems to just line up stud RB's. Of course, they usually flame out in the league after putting up monster #'s in Madison, but that won't help us.

Sparky Woods - No info
Stacy Searels - $300,000
Lonnie Galloway - $400,000
Mario Acitelli - No info

We might be able to afford Acitelli, but the others would be a stretch. I'm not sure what Sparky Woods gets paid as a Senior Advisor. Would any want to return?

We can do better than Searels. Galloway is a cheater, don’t want him.

Sparky and Acitelli both in non-coaching roles so a coaching position might be appealing. I doubt Acitelli makes much but I would think Sparky would cost a bit.

Anybody remember if Josh Thompson stayed to prep for the bowl last year or was he already in Louisville?

Seems like there were some logistical issues with last year's bowl game also because the ops guy left, was that Josh Thompson?

I think our planner left before the bowl last year too. I remember we being worried but we came through on less time than we have this year.

Sparky will turn 66 late next week. He and his wife own a ranch/farm in central VA. Doubt he's up for extending his commute. He almost certainly wouldn't move.

Acitelli would give it a look.

IMHO I think losing Link is a bigger than losing drink.

DJ Smith is gone to Mizzou now as well.

I suppose that would open a spot to retain Roof and possibly bring Dale Jones back. That would be a heck of a linebacker coaching corp.

Our own Big John Settle is their RB coach.
