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.
