Hugh Freeze to Liberty

It's been said before, but this is one of the concerns about having a defensive minded head coach. Of course, there are exceptions, but the constant revolving door(Weis! No Pease! No Roper) isn't healthy for most head coaches. If you got to volnation, these poor schmucks are almost in as much panic mode as they were at this point last year looking for a head coach. And the funny part is, even if they'd landed him, how long do they really expect a former HC to be their OC? They'd be back in the hunt in less than 2 years, meaning that anyone that signed to play for him and his style would be left with whoever they get next.

Defense wins championships, but you have to offense. And you need to have continuity. With as many different schemes and mindsets as there are today, I think the offensive side of the ball is much more coordinator-sensitive. Guys like Itraz and others are much better at explaining the particular nuances of each scheme, but you can take a less than perfect fit at LB or DB and make it work. But having a pro-style QB and OL in more of an RPO scheme is a disaster--and the same if you have an athletic QB and OL forced into a traditional. So this up and down situation with their offense, and constant identity change, is going to cause problems for them in recruiting and player development just like it did with us.

If you reverse things, not one single person would be worried if Grantham, or the next DC went elsewhere.

I'm not the biggest fan of everything Mullen does, but I do like the fact that we have an identity based around his offensive mindset that will eventually be manned with all the right people. The situation in Knoxville shows just how bad the alternative often is.

Only one thing worse than having a defensive minded coach.

Whiff on Freeze and Butters....this is starting to sound familiar somehow...

Hey!!!!!

Watching the start of FSU imploading is fun, but watching Tennessee still searching for a light at the end of the tunnel year after year is a thing of beauty

Be a dream come true. LOL

I've been checking since Butters was announced to see who he hires....and nothing yet. I imagine he hires at least two of the duds he had in gainesville there at CMU. I'm sure Nord dusted off his resume when he heard the news.

I can't wait to see Nord do the worm again

Exactly! That spells out in black and white one of the most crucial needs we've had since Tim left, and one of the most important things that Dan has brought to this team.

No OC that is interested in any sort of upward career trajectory is going to go work for Willie.

Sorry, that’s Willlllllie

 

[gingerlover]

They will have to revive me from laughing to death.

 

[InstiGATOR1]

Ah! A schadenfreude thread, usually I need to go to another team's message board to enjoy such threads.

 

[Tay Bang]

Article in today’s Tallahassee Mullet Wrapper explains that Willlllllie is the only QB coach left on the staff such that the new OC will have to have experience as a QB coach.

 

[Frozen Gator]

I think he is setting himself up to be the next Auburn head coach when they fire Malzahn (sp).

Just kidding ltraz!

 

[maheo30]

In other words, no one wants the FSU job. Willie is cancer.

There's also wisdom in ensuring someone has come all the way back before you put them in a position of public trust again.

Of course there is. But you never really know whats in someones heart.

I think Butter's entire staff budget is 1 mil. Not sure Nussdrunk likes his old buddy that much.

No, no... you're still not getting it. It's wiLLLLLLLie.

Please - tell me this is true, and not a joke.
