I feel like he could do something similar here. Even if he isn't the best DC we've ever had, he may surround himself with the talent to mask most of his issues. If we keep Heyward, Joe and Clark I'm pretty willing to take a chance on Tosh.
If the worst thing about someone is that they used Xbox Live to talk to recruits during a dead period, I think I'm willing to give them a pass.

Re: Assistant Coaches?
actually... Jim paid nothing. USF settled with JL after they fired him for 2.75MIL .. and the father of the player who he "struck" changed his story at least 3 times. Sooooo.

Re: Assistant Coaches?
I don't understand the desire to sacrifice football IQ for recruiting ability. Do we really want to be the USC of the North - best recruiting classes but consistently under-performing on the field? (Yes, USC had a pretty good year, but with the level of competition they really should have been undefeated and in the playoff.)
Recruiting is important, but cannot be at the expense of coaching ability, if you want to be elite.

We'll see how this plays out over the next few years. USC's recruiters versus Chip's coaches in the battle of LA. (Note though, even USC has a coach not a recruiter for DC.)DuckMastaFunk wrote:I don't understand the desire to sacrifice football IQ for recruiting ability.

Re: Assistant Coaches?
Actually, USC doesn't have a ton of great recruiters right now. That program just sells itself. I do agree that I want a good playcaller and planner over a good recruiter. Wish we could have both...DuckMastaFunk wrote:I don't understand the desire to sacrifice football IQ for recruiting ability.

That being said, people were saying that Cristobal was a great recruiter rather than a great coach...turns out he's both!

Damn, all I noticed was the penalties. I had no idea we had what could be argued the top line in the nation.

Re: Assistant Coaches?
Wonder if this may help Oregon keep Leavitt:

Re: Assistant Coaches?
I think it was on an O-Live podcast that I thought I heard that Leavitt's elderly mother is living in FL. Obviously, that could be a very understandable reason for him to join Willie.

Re: Assistant Coaches?
So if Herbert doesn't go down than Crosby would likely be #1 with a more balanced offense, same for Throckmorton who appears ready to step in at LT based on that stat that's not just Sacks but QB Hits.
There is a dearth of OL in the NFL and if Cristobal can produce high quality OL's while keeping a pro-style offense that is capable of no-huddle then it can become it's own selling point for recruits. It wasn't that long ago teams loved to talk about how Oregon doesn't prepare you for the league, psh.
I also read that Jalen Jelks had the highest number of QB pressures from an interior DL in the nation, so we arguably had the best DL and OT in the nation this year!

Telly Lockette (OSU's RB coach) officially hired by FSU. Guess Coach Pimp is here to stay!

So the best competition each of them faced all season was in practice against each other! No wonder they both progressed so well...made everyone else they faced seem like chumps.Duck07 wrote: so we arguably had the best DL and OT in the nation this year!

Re: Assistant Coaches?
247 reporting that Willie is gonna offer another candidate (not named Leavitt) the FSU DC position. Doesn't necessarily mean Leavitt said no already, but interesting that Willie is considering other options!
