Coaching Staff

Advertisement
Jimmy Johnson let his assistants do their job and they succeeded into future successes. Butch Davis, Dave Wannstedt, Tommy Tuberville all were successful beyond the U. Who on our staff aspires to that kind of greatness or rather possesses the talent to move up? Maybe Dawson, or at least he was thought of before our collapse.


Something was obvious all year long, bad teams shredded our defense and it seemed inevitable we'd suffer the consequences. At least Manny brought in Lashlee and now we have to deal with SMU. What if anything improved?

We heap blame on the DB's and kept saying when injured players return, well Hurricanes in the past used and trusted their reserves. We are used to seeing backups come in and perform better than the player they subbed for. That is where coaching comes in, preparation in advance. I observed failures at LB as teams ran through our defense and a DL that couldn't bring pressure or stop the run. Did we see adjustments? Did any group improve? We've had some brilliant coaches but not lately. Quality coaches used to fight to get work with the U and our depth of talent, well we have the talent but no one of quality to exploit our talent.

I've harped on ST's and we are about to waste a decent Punter and a super Field Goal Kicker. When is the last time we had a return for a TD, how often did teams return against us? It’s all these supposed small things that separate the good from the great. Our only seemingly dominate position has been OL. I hope Mario has plans to improve our staff, otherwise prepare for more disappointments.
It took you a long time to say nothing. Just say Fire Guidry!!
 
Mario will always been compared to Manny but one place manny was very successful was hiring assistants that would keep climbing coaching ladder
Manny believe it or not has his own coaching tree albeit a fledgling one. He mentored Blake Baker and will have others under him that will go on to be successful at their respective positions. Mario will never be able to say this. There is too much money being paid out and too much money at stake for someone higher up not to sit down with Mario to lay down some conditions.
 
How exactly do you "waste" a punter?

The punter has literally nothing to do with what the other team does on a kick off return since he's not on the field, with the rare exception that the punter is kicking off. That special teams play that you mentioned the TE outrunning everyone was an interception return, AKA another play where the punter is not on the field. Trick plays? He's a punter. Returning punts for TDs? Again, not the job of the punter.

It's one thing when you dump your scrambled egg brain cells out into a post, but it's something special when you double down on it.
Hedley was awarded the Canes Special Teams MVP in his first year....Joyce was adquate this year compared to Lou.

no the air raid offense is terrible for the defense to practice against bc the concepts it uses no other team we play against use. so the defense practice against stuff it was never going to see on the weekend.

It’s 2024 not 2004.

The entire country runs mesh, stick, switch, 6, screens, y cross, and shallow cross.

The entire country is in 11p.

The entire country runs IZ OZ and split zone with some type of counter run.

This fanbase is not great at predicting coaches’ futures. Who was predicting Thomas Brown as an NFL head coach, Rhett Lashlee a HC making it to the ACC title and Blake Baker being the highest paid DC in the SEC all in 2024?

Blake Baker is worse than Guidry per SP+
