Kelly promoted to DC; Sunseri to Associate Head Coach at FSU

FSU has ended any hope I had that Pruitt would get the band back together in Athens. For the record, I think hiring Kelly, who was their second choice, is a great move. He was going to get a another shot at being DC somewhere. Soon. That move allows the Seminoles the one of the best opportunities for continuity in the scheme and with recruiting.

The more intriguing move is naming Sal Sunseri Associate Head Coach. Looking at experience, you'd think Sunseri would be the more likely choice for the DC position. Except his experience as DC (at Tennessee under Dooley) wasn't so joyous. By giving him that title, Fisher have greater latitude in bumping his salary. He also keeps Sunseri from looking about, provided he wanted the DC job at FSU.

My guess is Sunseri told Fisher that he'd stay for a title and money bump.
