Sounds about right

Im glad someone did it tbh. We're gonna need something to talk about for the next 10 months.

We need to flex and take a defensive HC and bring him as a DC. We need more guys that know football on this staff. Dave Aranda or Justin Wilcox or something like that. We need someone that can operate schematically but also understands how to teach and coach.

It is technically an upgrade.

 

[redcane]

I would call this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Leonhard

 

[mcnaire2004]

I don't really want anybody that Mario hires. He's pretty terrible at it. Take away Cam and we are probably talking about hiring an OC.

 

[The U is back to work]

I’d give Anthony Campanile another look. Was Dolphins LB coach now LB coach for Packers and their run defense/scoring defense still top 10 in NFL.

 

[OptimusCreampie]

I’ll take a ******* graduate assistant from the Mike elko tree at this point.

Aranda saved his job and Baylor has some $.

Wilcox? Eh idk. He's been there for a while. I just don't know if he'd leave.

I agree the next hire needs to be a legit P4 coach. Just like what USC did when they hired UCLA DC. Same with Ohio hiring Jim Knowles

I was just throwing out names, but yes - someone that’s actually done it at the P2 level

We aren’t likely getting the best Dc available and while I’d love a Jim Leonhard or some of those bigger names I just don’t see it. We got Guidry and Dawson last time lol Marshall & Houston.

He’s a top assistant on Denver’s 3rd rank defense. His next stop is NFL defensive coordinator

Probably should still. Hopefully Dawson gets a HC gig. ( Looking at you UCF) .

At least Houston was a P4 job and before that Mario got Gattis who was at Michigan(yeah yeah I know it was bad hire).

If boosters and admin are serious about football, pay up for a DC.

Dawson had the #1 offense in college this year.

Go get Selah so we can just have the meathead duo to end all meathead duos
