So he's definitely a joke bc he started his coaching career at small schools. His tiny a$$ school got blown out by a far bigger D1 program in a game where his team obviously serves as a sacrificial lamb in exchange for the money. The guy is 36 and working his way up, but SOOO many people here know enough about him and his coaching to immediately dub him a joke? Seriously? WTF do you know about the guy? Not a damn thing. You might review that Twain quote about opening your mouth.

So stats mean nothing? Good god you're a ****ing idiot if you can't see I pointed out hard facts.

Southern University Lab School. Why didn't you just say that from the beginning?

He was co-offensive coordinator at a school the year after he graduated. That's actually pretty impressive.

We shouldn't be hiring guys from N. Texas. That's for schools like Kentucky, Mizzou, Arky etc. Then, once they prove their worth against the big boys, we hire them away.

Honest question-- when is the last time Bama, Michigan, FSU, LSU etc hired a position coach from a non Power 5 school? It's an honest question, cuz I really can't remember. Maybe I'm wrong, free to admit that.

He ain't got.**** to stay with Mac's dick so far down his throat

I'm sure the position you held a couple of years out of college (college?) was much more impressive.

Seriously, you can complain about anything. He probably missed a question on a test in the 6th grade too.

And 14 years later he's at North Texas State. The guy may have great intangibles. But there is nothing impressive on that resume.

Legit question, my friend, and I don't know either. I'd like to know, too, but we'd need some GC drone to do the research.

This is one of those deals where the Head Coach either hits a home run by pulling up a high quality, young coach, or the HC stubs his toe by making a bad hire.

I'd just rather see the guy as a potential kick-a$$ recruiter and coach than automatically assume he's a total fail.

Just want to throw out a different perspective for these hires.

Let's look at Bama, everyone poaches bama staff as if just being part of the staff imparts some sort of success voodoo. I think I've seen more bama staff duds than studs.

What I'm saying is that some people excel in a certain system and may not be as good independent of the system.

I'm hoping that the guys Mac hires are guys that will flourish in the system he is developing.

I think Mac is building deep and long term.

Brent Key comes to mind. He is the current Alabama offensive line coach. Before Bama he worked for 11 years at Central Florida. That was his only previous coaching experience

I hear ya. I don't think he's an auto fail, was just expecting more of a sure thing (still may get it). Hope most of us are wrong and he kills it though.

LSU OLB coach Dennis Johnson appears to have joined LSU with no coaching experience at all. The LSU job is his first.

That's fair. Will say, Bama could put Law as OL coach and they'd be fine :lol:

If your friend jumped off a bridge would you jump off a bridge also.

I'm not ready to bash the Davis hire or the Bell hire. Davis was at NTx for what a year? You can't turn an OL unit around in a year. He had some good success at DII or whatever it's called. Should he be our OL coach? I don't think he's qualified to be the primary OL coach. However, he's young with energy, and as a DI player, he'll likely have their attention. My hope is they get a top notch OL coach that he can learn from and take over for.

As for Bell, he has a lot of coaching experience at Miami HS's. If we say that the best football is played in South Florida, we should give some deference to the coaches there. We have no idea how good of a coach he is yet, but on paper he should improve our recruiting. Let's not forget Malzahn had mostly HS experience before he went to Auburn the first time. Not saying that he's another Malzahn, but his HS experience should not be dismissed.

Time will tell is these are horrible hires or not. Mac will be judged by his record not message board coaches. I agree with TrannyJay26 that another hire is coming. If not, I'll be at a loss for words over the Davis hire.

Keep in mind that Skipper has coached the secondary before, there may be some overlap of coaching between Skipper, Bell, and Shannon on position coaching.

FSU's co-offensive coordinator and WR coach Lawrence Dawsey had 3 years experience all as an assistant coach at South Florida before joining FSU.

It seems that there is at least one of these guys on every team's staff.

Good research. No need to go further, it's time
to enjoy the Gator bball game. I'll reserve judgement until we see our OL in action this year.

Law is legit, he could be the next hire we're waiting on. We can only hope.

Sorry, had to throw in Michigan since they were included on your list.

Michigan linebackers/special teams coach Chris Partridge was the head coach at Paramus Catholic High School. Prior to Paramus he was the defensive line coach at The Citadel and an assistant coach at Lafayette college.

So every team on your list has current coaches hired either from lower tier schools, high schools or even a coach with no coaching experience at all.

Ok, you win. Now let's watch the game

Yep. Even in med school someone is last in the class. Don't want him operating on me though.
