Don't feel bad. 80% of this board will do the exact same thing this off season with whatever cast-offs he can find to come coach here. Wait until you hear for 6 months about how our new OC Ponce has tailored the offense to the talent and how much better we'll be.I'm as guilty as anyone else of drinking the 40oz kool aid in regard to our staff. Good grief was I off
Lol at this being UMs best staff ever...
Butch's 98-2000 is undoubtedly the best...
Hilarious when whiners run back to threads from nine months ago to trash-talk and get in licks.
News flash, after Jimmy blew a 31-0 halftime lead to Maryland, lost to Hail Flutie a week later and then lost a shootout to UCLA to finish 8-5, no one was praising him or his staff.
Johnson also had three different defensive coordinators in three seasons—Bill Trout and Paul Jette before landing on Dave Wannstedt, who he kept his final three years.
There was a lot of tinkering before Johnson figured it out and got it right.
No...Chuck was just a GA for one yr in 86...before going back West to USC...(I should know he's my cousin)1986 was nothing to shake a stick at:
Head coach
Coordinators/assistant coaches
- Hubbard Alexander (WR)
- Joe Brodsky (RB)
- Butch Davis (DL)
- Bill Foran (Str+Cond)
- John Fontes (Volunteer)
- Steve Hoffman (GA)
- Art Kehoe (OL)
- Carlos Mainord (DB)
- Ron Meeks (GA)
- Chuck Pagano (GA)
- Stewart Rogers (GA)
- Don Soldinger (TE)
- Gary Stevens (OC/QB)
- Tommy Tuberville (GA)
- Dave Wannstedt (DC/LB)
- Tony Wise (OL)
That, and Butch still had Bill Miller calling his defense in 1998, so that wasn't it—Greg Schiano showed up in 1999—and guys like Pagano were on Davis' staff dating back to the JJ era.
He wasn't a Corch...but Butch had the best staff in regards of development. From 95-2004 (2004 being the last of that staffs kids) 25 1st rounders....6 NFL HOFers...Jimmy was a corch.

First you have to have coaching staff that can develop players and currently Mario can't make a decision on an OC for the 2nd straight year. This guys is a joke and predict a 5-7 season in 2023.Not sure if we’ve ever had a staff this good on paper? Particularly in terms of recruiting. This is a different feeling from the usual The U is back.
Maude Note: Moved from Recruiting board to Eye in the Sky board as most discussion relates to coaching not recruiting.
Thanks for bumping a year old thread…First you have to have coaching staff that can develop players and currently Mario can't make a decision on an OC for the 2nd straight year. This guys is a joke and predict a 5-7 season in 2023.
