Can anyone explain how moving to an Asst. position at USC makes Tyler's resume for head coach at a P4 school better than if he had stayed at LBSU? Seems to me that proving yourself at a place like Long Beach would get you that gig as quickly if not more quickly than by working under another coach's umbrella. It doesn't. I guess if Keller leaves for whatever reason, Hildebrand is in the pole position to get the USC job. He must really like living in Southern California.

DBK, Chris Tamas, Salima Rockwell, JFO, Brad Keller, Alfie Reft, Eve Rackham are all examples of it paying to stay a Power 5 assistant rather than having to really prove yourself as a head coach before landing a pretty great job.

I guess if Keller leaves for whatever reason, Hildebrand is in the pole position to get the USC job. He must really like living in Southern California. For sure. And Hildebrand has nothing to prove. His resume speaks for itself. IMO this is likely all about the $$$ and he'll be short listed for whatever job he 'applies' for next.

Is usc traveling again this summer? I thought the rule was once every four years, so that every player at one school should have the opportunity to travel once. With all of the rules changes regarding transferring, I don't know whether that has changed at all.

IMO the of hassles of helicopter parents, NIL, easy portal, players prioritizing their own brand, etc drove away Russ, Hugh, and Saban. I think the list of reasons many coaches would prefer being an assistant today would include: more time with players and on court issues, less stress, and more time with family. IMO NIL and the rest of that stuff is not what "drove" those coaches away. It was life! How many coaches of any sport have you ever seen still running around in their 80's chasing trophies? After you get near or hit 70 what you did when you were young when it comes to physical and mental ability perhaps changes a bit and definitely your priorities in life change. Dreams are an inspiration and goal that drives youth, eventually it mellows with age. If you have ever paid attention to how Saban coaches one knew if he didn't step away he was a heart attack waiting to happen. Life is way too short.

Life is way too short. if i was a legendary coach i'd take my legendary salary and retire ASAP! enjoying vb from my couch not the sideline.

And Hildebrand has nothing to prove. His resume speaks for itself. IMO this is likely all about the $$$ and he'll be short listed for whatever job he 'applies' for next. How does his resume speak for itself? He won a title as an asst coach. There's lot of asst coaches out there that have done this. He led LB to a top 4 finish in the Big West? Again, not unique. Most of his accomplishments are on the Men's side. All he has shown on the women's side is that he changes his mind every 18 months.

Most of his accomplishments are on the Men's side. All he has shown on the women's side is that he changes his mind every 18 months. Actually, he coached the setters at Nebraska, and when he returned in 21 he was faced will a very mediocre setter in Nicklin Hames and he set out to redo and retrain her… and it was a roller-coaster the first half of the season, but Hames got better and Nebraska playing with 3 freshman made it to the 5th game of the championship match. How he turned her into a championship setter, even though it only lasted for a year, is still as impressive as anything he has ever done coaching. Of course, the other season he was here, 2017, he convinced Cook to make a huge offensive change after 3 early ooc losses. Yeah, they went on to win the NC, but the most memorable thing about the season, outside of beating Texas in the Regional final, was the massive improvement in the team from August to December in KC. He turned really good talent at Nebraska into championship caliber teams, but at LB he turned mediocre talent into competitive but not championship level teams. I think he just realized if he wanted to coach the best college talent it would probably never happen at LB because the best players are following the NIL money, and less than 20 schools have substantive NIL volleyball set-ups and 80% of them are in the B1G/SEC and the others appear to be Louisville, Pitt and maybe Florida State. I guess he could have grinded it out LB, but the easier path to final fours and championships is SC. I believe SC also has fixed limitations, but it’s clear that’s where he an Kristen want to raise their family and run her business. 🏐
