If this was Whitford's idea he would have hired Darner with the first hire. Why? Who knows the process, alternatives, or what Darner was thinking? We have little reason to speculate there is anything else here except a good hire. You are right it is a good hire, in fact it's so much better than the first hire it leads to speculation.

This question is any of it warranted or are we just sitting around in yin foil hats. Only time will tell A little tiny reason. Tin foil garb is the dress code here recently.

The Green Bay Press Gazette lists Darner’s hire/title as associate head coach, not assistant coach. That is interesting!

Not many great or even decent assistants probably are interested if theyre reading tea leaves on Whitford likely in his final season here next year. Or at least I hope a late offseason extension isn't in the plans

The play for Darner has to be a chance to replace Whitford next year. Maybe he views this as the Purdue model (where he played) where Painter was the lead assistant as Keady was phased-out. In that case, it was due to Keady's age; here it's because of Whitford's incompetence. Money can't be the motivator as he will be making the same with Wisconsin Green Bay paying 100%, or a combination of BSU/Wisconsin Green Bay paying. The other guy, former Western Illinois coach, it was more the only job he could land. His severance package wasn't as "sweet" as Darner's and after a year of unemployment, Billy Wright just needed the cashflow.
Now maybe it will not work-out for Darner. Maybe BSU will go with a national search to replace Whitford and Darner too will be out the door at the end of 2021-22. He's probably got enough confidence in himself that he will win the position; more or less a 9 month job interview.

Much will depend on who the AD is next year, also.

He must not have been able to find any decent high schools that were hiring.

I think if they don't hire the guy Alvarez has been grooming they hire Beth.

I think if they don't hire the guy Alvarez has been grooming they hire Beth. The thing about Wisconsin is they are the only large state university and therefore a fundraising juggernaut. They won't hire anyone who might put that in jeopardy. I think they will go with Alvarez's guy and maybe look for an outside hire the next time around.

This might be the only way to save my job Honestly, I hope that’s exactly what happened. And I hope Beth didn’t sugarcoat anything with him. And I hope he suddenly becomes a championship level coach. Skeptical of all that, but as Red in Shawshank did, I hope.
