Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXI

[mr.checkerboards]

I like this hire at db coach... hopefully he can teach our corners to turn their heads, add hoke and i may feel a litte better about next season

 

[volfanCLT]

Wow, that's crazy high for a position coach. DC in waiting when Shoop gets a HC gig?

I think Martinez was at $375k

DC experience is a great bonus, and could replace Shoop like you said

 

[MrVolton]

Don't sleep on Osborne.

I like him. Just seems like his future is at nickel. Nickel hadn't been as bad for us lately as RCB and LCB.

 

[McGeesPub]

His contract is 2 years, $450,000 a year.

I guess there is your answer as to why he was willing to come. Must have some other title as well at that number.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Possible DC for us down the road?

At least gives us that option if Shoop leaves in the next couple years. I think I would prefer someone with more experience at a bigger school but we will know more about Warrens potential after a season or two.

Assistant DC maybe? Recruiting Coordinator?

I believe he held the Recruiting Coordinator title at UNC, IIRC.

I thought he was 275 but I could be wrong

Tennesssee: "Mr. Hart. You may continue to come to work, and collect your salary in full. However, we will not allow you to actually do any work over the course of the next year. Please remain in your office and play Candy Crush Saga."

Anyone imagine Hart has been like George Costanza showing up for work for the last few months?

You can only play Candy Crush for so long. Gotta find other ways to entertain yourself.

Of course you gotta squeeze a nap in ever now and then.

 

[volatil]

This hire has me excited!

Young dynamic recruiter/defensive mind. Dude has an MBA and graduate of Service Academy.

Home Run Butch

395

LWS talked about this on 247, but there wasn't really any of the major sites that knew about this guy until UT released it. I wonder if Butch has decided to try and cut down on info getting out.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I mean I get it. I could have worded that better because we could have helped, more importantly Hamilton could have helped. But in the end when they showed Bruce the photo he could have made a decision and saved his job just by telling the truth right there too. If he would have done that he may still be with us.

I agree, this is Bruce's mistake. All I'm saying is that the UTAD threw him to the wolves. Bruce, to that point, was the best thing to happen to UTBB since Ray Mears. Too bad it had to end up the way it did.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Because good offensive coaches can coach any position

If he is a good offensive coach why is he at Utah state or Nt or wherever he is?

Yes and definitely an upgrade over Terry Fair (though I would like to see him return at some point in time)

 

[MrVolton]

This has been my concern with him.

 

[Catbone]

The guy is not a good OC...

Would be awesome if true and perhaps give some hope for the other hires he still has to make.

Good I like the pleasant surprises

Agreed. His teams were so much fun to watch. Was a great run he had here that will be hard to top.

 

[AF_VOL]

Even at a school like Air Force where they don't get the quality recruits he was a major role in their secondary being exceptional.



Also, he has coordinator experience. Always good to have another guy that can help Shoop gameplan. I really hope those two mesh because our DBs and our defense need it.

For a guy that I barely heard about before today, I love this hire.

Him seeing the AF offense all that time, he should be able to help gameplan for GT this year.

Which scares the crap out of me

Great hire, home run, bout damn time he started keeping things close instead of letting the media run his program , great hire butch... Major upgrade

 

[VOLinCO]

Canales may be #1 on CBJ's list. But, I have to wonder if he isn't actually more of a back-up plan.

Gosh I hope so

 

[Wickman]

By the time we knew Alabama was looking for an AD, they've already hired a new one, smh.

Hamilton, Dooley, firing our best BB coach ever, Bama Dave, best staff in America, hiring a swim coach to run the offense, NO S&C guy... the list of comedies goes on and on and on... The people in charge at UT are just dumb*** morans.

Blackburn or Fulmer. Just get it done so they can come in a fix this disaster of an athletic department.

DeBord was never an issue
