Coaches getting axed begins

I don't watch Toledo, so help me here. How is Neal Brown better than every other Mummeite.
 
If Auburn cans Malzahn is our system similar enough to bring him on staff? And would he come here?
we should be hiring up every ex coach as a QA if nothing else. Promise them sunshine, rehab and some time to cut film in a low tax state. Get them before Bammer does.

But are we in a position to offer something that would entice him to come here over somewhere else? I’d love to be in that position, but are we there yet?
 
Malzahn has been a good recruiter through the years but he also has a rep for being difficult. He and that Arky coach couldnt get along at all.

He is pretty interesting in that he ran a power I form offense at Arky, an EXPLOSIVE passing spread w Golden Hurricane, then that 90% run spread at Barn. He has a lot of playbook in that brain.

I dont want someone else calling plays but Id like to see us influence Mullinz a bit. It would have been nice if that were SOS. Too bad he is gone.

Remember Creyer and Rich Rod hooked up for a bit back in the day. Rich Rod adding to that modified Notre Dame playbook Meyer/Mullinz brought and Creyer exchanging defensive tips and ST stuff with them. It was pretty innovative at the time.

Remember we hired Barns old AD as our second in command. There may be a comfort level but I have to assume he gets swept up as HC somewhere quickly if this crazy thing were to happen.

Scott Satterfield would have been a better candidate than Brown. He would have had the other teams in NC worrying alot more. Brown is viewed as a nostalgia hire and one that might keep the ship from totally sinking. But at almost 70, he's not buying any green bananas from a coaching perspective.
 
Personally, I kinda hope we don't have a lot of coaching shake ups this offseason. I prefer some stability for these players instead of new personalities to have to jell. If we do hire/fire, then hope it is recruiting based and low level coaches.
 
USC has fired 4 assistant coaches. Including the DB coach that visited Chris Steele last night.

There are several position coaches that need significant upgrades.
 
Watching the coaching carousel is so much more enjoyable when we are not on it.

No question. The only coaches that I think should be locks are:
Hevesey
Robinson
Gonzalez
Savage (S & C - every bit as important)
I'm 50/50 on Grantham (DC, I know)

No joke, I wanted him to replace Mullen here in '09 because I thought he and Newton would be a magical pairing. It only took two years, but I was right, for the wrong Orange and Blue school. His 2007 Tulsa offense was great. Of course, 2006 Arkansas introduced him to the world

    @AlexDaGator, you've got me all nostalgic now about the Ford Rouge Plant, Zug Island, and now what was Great Lakes Steel, then Nippon Steel, now US Steel just down the river from Zug Island. We would drive down to the park on the river at the end of Southfield Road at night and watch the sky light up when they would pour the slag off from the molten steel... was pretty incredible.

    I'm just surprised Zug Island didn't make it into the Kokomo song.
  • Detroitgator Detroitgator:
    How Zug Island and Fordson Island further up the Rouge were formed is an interesting thing. Henry cut two straight channels so that his iron ore freighters could go up and down the river to the Rouge Plant. The only way to access Fordson Island (which is technically Dearborn) was a bridge on the Detroit side of the original river. During prohibition, it was a lawless place of debauchery

    Zug Island was a place that at night with the flames, looked like actual Hell

    I hear Zug Island is beautiful this time of year.
    there is a beauty to Zug Island... my Dad worked many a times on Zug Island. It's also where the Edmund Fitzgerald was actually headed, then on to Cleveland. There was an AWESOME dive bar right off of Zug Island called the Delray Cafe that we would go to when I would go home to Detroit. Zug Island is in the Delray section of Southwest Detroit... it was originally full a big Hungarian neighborhood with tons of great food places when I was young.

    Let's re-write the lyrics. Born and raised in...Cleveland? St. Louis? Chicago? Philadelphia? Newark? Indianapolis? Gary? Pittsburgh? Actually, musically speaking, Louisville or Jacksonville would fit the song but lack the cache of South Detroit. Nah. I got nuthin'.

    complete bullschit... Dixie Highway, on the other hand, is correct about running from "Dee-troit" all the way to Florida
