I posted this on TOS
I don’t think he brings more than 1-2 current coaches from Oregon…Not including Mirabal who is a lock. (Obv Moorehead isn’t coming). Many of these veteran coaches have been Pac 12/Mt. West their whole coaching career.
Other than Mirabal I think the most likely candidates to varying degerees will be. One up and coming analyst I’d keep an eye on is Costa.
Decent Shot
1.Bobby Williams (been with Cristo a while and his long history with special teams help)
2. S’alavea (again though he’s one of those guys who’s been out west forever)
3.Choice
Maybe
4. DeRuyter (I don’t mind him at all, I like veteran DCs)
5. Mclendon
6. Choice
7. Yates
Probably Not
8. Wilson
9. Mastro
All just a guess obviously
Coaches I want to see us keep
1.DVD…young and energetic. I think he has a future
Like these guys
2. T-Rob
3. Likens
4. Hickson (Think he’s doing a good job, but honestly his position requires less acumen than most on staff, so not like can’t be replaced)
5. Aristide (Recruiting only, I know nothing of his coaching skill level…Won’t cry if Cristobal goes another route. The LB on this team deserve to be fucking coached for once)
I obviously don’t think we are going to keep 5…I think we’d keep 3 tops, outside chance at 4. And 2-3 is most likely number…I actually think Diaz built a decent staff
Neutral
Simpson
Field ( I don’t mind him, and he does work recruiting, but againnoet Cristo has been coaching with Bobby Williams since Bama days)
Justice (did a good job this year…But Cristo/Mirabal is as good as any combo in the nation at OL right now, they are trucking them out)
I hope TRob and Likens are kept, not as high on DVD as you are. I wouldn’t be opposed to DVD because with talent he might be able to show he is a good coach.
I saw a report that said Joe Brady might be interested in Miami. With what he did with Burrow I would jump for joy having him work with TVD, Garcia and Brown.
It’s because Discourse uses Markdown to format text. Read this and you will see what is happening (I’ve snipped the relevant part). Markdown makes HTML formatting very simple once you spend 10 minutes and read the rules.
You can see your post in markdown here without the software rendering it in HTML. Basically, you just need a blank row before and after when you do a bunch of dashes and it will turn into a page break.
DVD literally throws footballs all practice; he’s barely a coach. Given cristobals stance we don’t need to keep a guy around who can’t coach a lick for his recruiting ability (Cristobal will make sure this staff can recruit).
This team needs actual coaches. If dvd wants to be in the recruiting office go for it.
I think Likens is my #1 choice to keep — great WR production this year, good routes, etc. Trob a close #2 — not off anything he did this year but from prior years as recruiter. DVD and Aristide are intriguing but wouldn’t mind if they weren’t retained.
DVD was D1 corner because he was fast. You can’t coach speed.
I would be really surprised if he was even a mediocre coach. As a recruiter, he doesn’t strike me as a killer. He was the most interested player in recruiting back in the day.
The rest can skate and honestly if we booted them too I wouldn’t even be upset. With the money we have, not really worried about us failing the staff here BUT we need to knock this OC out of the park. No Chud, no Dorsey, no Ponce. We need a HOME RUN.
I am with you on those 3. I think Likens did a great job with the WRs this year and that Hickson was able to recruit top talent in his time here. Considering all the injuries and a sub-par front 7 T-Rob did well with the DBs and has a solid reputation as a recruiter.
