His Dad is Rick Trickett coached w Doc at WVU, last he wAS AT FSU with Jimbo. He was not retained by new FSU coach.Current tight ends coach @ FAU..... has a connection to WVU. Where does/did his Dad coach?
I don’t know how to feel about this.....Clint trickett and bring his Dad Rick with him
Y'all would really be okay hiring someone to run our offense who has zero experience calling plays? I wouldn't be. I don't care how cool he was on the Last Chance U.
We hired a head coach that had never devised a game plan on offense or defense. So Why not ?Y'all would really be okay hiring someone to run our offense who has zero experience calling plays? I wouldn't be. I don't care how cool he was on the Last Chance U.

The support for this sums up most of this board.
The kid, which he is at the age of 26, was a JUCO quarterback coach for two seasons and the TE coach for 10 months at FAU. To go from a JUCO as a position coach to a full-time job at an FBS is unheard of with no other experience.
Keep in mind that Kiffin did the same thing with Charlie Weiss Jr. Weiss had never been a full-time coach at any level including high school. He was a student manager for a few seasons at Kansas under his dad followed by summer volunteer intern with the Patriots at age 21. Then, he became a QC under Kiffin. Yet he was hired in a full-time role at FAU at the age of 23, again, which is unheard of. He left after being there for three months and was replaced by Trickett.
So why did Kiffin hire two guys, one with no coaching experience and one who was only a JUCO assistant for two years? It's the good ol' boys network. Both Kiffin and Kendall Briles were handed jobs by their fathers. Their fathers, friends of Trickett's and Weiss' father, continued on the favors.
For all I know, Clint could be an Xs and Os genius. Being an OC is so, so much more than that, both on and off of the field.

I thought you’d know enough about the college football fraternity to know that Clint is on an expedited journey up the coaching ranks and is extremely well thought of. Ask Saban what he thinks about his football IQ. The kid is going places and would be lights out on the recruiting trail. He’s a West Virginian and could sell kids on the Marshall program. He’s a major reason, along with Holgs and his offense, why Grier ended up at WVU.
Also, if Rick was going to be coaching at Marshall as well, it would be an instant upgrade to the staff adding both Tricketts.
Where did I say Clint wasn't a good coach with a bright future?
All I said was I don't feel comfortable hiring someone with zero experience calling plays at ANY LEVEL to run our offense.
From what I heard it's TRAVIS not Clint. Travis is the OC at Ga State now. Prior to that he was OC at FAU and Samford.
Agree.You need a young coach with experience in dynamic offenses that also brings energy to the program.
Good question. I believe Graham Harrell at UNT fits the bill. He has the luxury of working under an offensive guru in Seth Littrell, however. Clint wouldn't have that luxury at MU.How many position coaches every year get promoted to being a play-calling OC without any experience calling an offense?
Rick is a legend but him coming here seems like a stretch.
Besides, we have a darn good OL coach in Alex Mirabal. Can't see Doc canning him.
Looks like Travis just recently starting following Doc and Heater on Twitter, for whatever that's worth.
Why have so many head coaches been a coordinator then?Different skillsets, in my opinion.
Agree.

But you trust the program to a career position coach. Just pointing out the hypocrisy. Doc was a risky hire.Rick is a legend but him coming here seems like a stretch.

Usually it's worth a lot. Good way to follow recruits as well.
Believe it or not but Hamrick didn't personally consult me when he hired Doc.But you trust the program to a career position coach. Just pointing out the hypocrisy. Doc was a risky hire.

Just pointing out not every HC is a coordinator first.
Why can’t Clint be Marshall’s OC though if he’s never been play-caller then?
Never said he couldn’t be but my preference would be to hire someone with experience calling plays at the D1 level.
For about a decade now, it’s seemed like Daddy Trickett was keeping his job because of his personality and not because of his coaching ability.Has anyone seen FSU OL the last few years. 4* and 5* that played like shit. And a decline in recruiting as well. I would rather keep Mirabel.
I have heard that Clint and Rick(Rick could go to Texas if he wanted) are looking to work together. This would be a huge get for whoever wants this deal. Rick is one of the best in the business as an Oline coach and he may actually call the plays with Clint helping and learning. I will tell you this, Litton would get his shit together would be gone. You should be excited about this infoY'all would really be okay hiring someone to run our offense who has zero experience calling plays? I wouldn't be. I don't care how cool he was on the Last Chance U.
Trust me, I heard Rick and the boys want to coach together. I heard this last week and now I see this info pop up on Marhasll's message board. Rick is 70 years old and has had some health problems. Rick loves WV.Rick is a legend but him coming here seems like a stretch.

Clint has said he still has friends on that team and he does not want to coach his friendsLet's see, unless someone else on staff leaves, we have no current opening for a position coach.
If coaching staffs do expand in 2018, isn't that extra position to be more like an "analyst" type job instead of a position type coach?
If another WVU grad is such a sure fire, can't miss, up and coming, albeit young, coaching hotshot, then why in the dickens doesn't Holgy hire him to coach the EERS offense instead of continuing to recycle the likes of Jake Spavital??
