I think Tyler is doing just fine, don’t think we need to be worrying about his career aspirations*
 Previous Message
Orlando: age 54 or so. If he ever wants to run his own program, better start thinking about it sooner rather than later IMHO.
Geoff Alexander: roughly the same age, but IMHO it's doubtful he'll get to be a HC at a major program.
Tyler and Camryn Crocker: both about the same age, and they're called offensive and defensive coordinator. FWLIW: Crocker has been at three academic schools as a player or coach: Colgate, UPenn and Stanford. Seems to have some sort of career niche right now. I'd say he wants to jump to a school more like UIUC in the future rather than an Ivy-style school if he wants to stay in coaching at this $$ level. Sure seems smart enough to realize that though. :-)
Zach Hammer: IIRC, he is a film study/computer stat tendency guru right now. Long way from a true bench coach.
Eh. As noted above, Tyler needs to get out from Dad's shadow IMHO. But who knows, times are changing. Maybe he will be the next UIUC coach right after his father. Community fixture in CU, if you will.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”
