Turley's staying
01-04-2015, 09:39 PM
That is great news! The overwhelming response from the players should tell us exactly how important he was to the program. I was starting to get bummed out, and I don't even know the guy!Â

Could be, but timing relative to the Football Scoop tweet is reassuring.

Yeah, though I'd feel really confident if Turley were in that picture. I'm sure we'll know more details about this in a day or two.

Quote: Multiple sources have confirmed to ESPN.com that Turley is not headed to rejoin his former boss at Michigan. He will remain at Stanford.
So long as all the sources aren't players, I think I'm sleeping better tonight. We'll have to see about Anderson.

Goes to show that Lombardi is capable of actual reporting when he puts his mind to it. Hopefully his sources are accurate, but at least he bothered to get them, rather than the ubiquitous "Some people think that Turley might...", and he had sources, plural. There's hope for him in his new job.
By the way, looking through the Twitter storm, it looks like this rumor started when a recruit reported that Harbaugh got somebody from the Stanford s&c staff. Thanks for the implicit endorsement, Jim.

I wonder if someone from the AD bumped Turley's total compensation up a bit today...

Reassuring. If Turley and/or Lance Anderson had left I might have started to buy into the notion that Stanford football is indeed headed on a downward path.

I think it should be considered a little stronger than reassuring. If they stay, it's a pretty strong indication that the staff is buying into the Stanford program and it's potential.
The Michigan site says that Turley was offered $400K per year by Michigan. So, a traditional storied program offers our guy what I assume is a significant raise (though perhaps not - I don't know what he is making) and he turns it down.
http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=162&f=2019&t=13544988
Anderson was supposedly offered the DC position over current DCs DJ Durkin (Florida) and Mattison (Michigan holdover), presumably with a significant raise, and is facing a Stanford team with up to 8 starters and 2 significant contributors leaving (Parry, Anderson, Leuders, Tarpley, Vaughters, Carter, Richards, Hoffpaiur (baseball), Lyons, Olugbode) - yet apparently he also is choosing to stay.
Of course now that I type this, I am sure they will elect to go to yet another option.

Given Turley has a reputation that even Michigan recruits understand, it seems like "Shannon Turley will be your S&C coach" has to carry a good deal of weight with recruits, but how much does this really aid Stanford football recruiting? And what kind of impact does Stanford holding on to Turley and Anderson have on the "recruiting gravitational pull" of Stanford?

Well, for midwestern recruits, it now has the added impact of "your potential S&C coach turned down an opportunity to work at Michigan to stay with this program." For recruits elsewhere, that probably doesn't mean as much.

I recall Henry Roberts, a top recruit from Washington, saying Stanford's S&C program was one of the primary draws to the program for him. Unfortunately Roberts apparently didn't pass academic muster.
Anderson's recruiting ability is fairly well renown. Being LDS, he goes into Utah and steals away players (like Sean Barton and Dalton Schultz) that Utah and many other colleges covet.

At least for today. We've weathered the first Harbaugh assault. Anderson and Turley still in the fold. A lot of our future success depends on Shaw managing and improving the coaching staff. The Offensive Coordinator/position coach conundrum continues. Heard rumblings all season that Bloomgren was stretched too thin coaching offensive line and OC. And, natcherly, the leitmotif that Bloomgren had no offensive talent at all. Same stretched-too-thin analysis might be true of Anderson on the defensive side. I have no feel at all if Tavita is a good QB coach, but he had his critics. Gotta think a lot of that is just shrapnel from the concerns about Hogan's up/down performance.
And, in your prayers, thank whatever benevolent powers there be that arranged for on-campus housing and more compensation for the coaching staff. Pretty sure the UM salary matched with the Harbaugh raise looks pretty good when matched to the Ann Arbor cost of living and housing.

Would be helpful if you said more about where those rumblings came from. "My friend close to the staff" is one thing, generic complaint on a message board is something else.
