What happened with all the Ruggiero chatter?

Every time I see an image of Raiden it reminds me of that guy with the funny hat in Big Trouble in Little China.

Raiden’s hat is like these guys….

Wait…. Was it Lo Pan ???

Is this credible

 

[RVACane]

Exactly, I’m qualified on the matter. I’m 41 and I’m old af, 57 is ancient.

Some of us turn 57 this year. Find a different age to pick on.

Apparently that reporter is the least reliable of them.

Man, what a banana in the tailpipe

Give me Weis Jr

Honestly, I’d be intrigued lol. We could do much worse. There are some people in the coaching ranks that I trust who think the world of the kid.

50 then. At 41 I’ve lived multiple lives at this point. I’d imagine at 50, the amount of wisdom is double that. Your overall mindset of how the world works must be much clearer. I think multiple people just assumed that when I said ancient, I meant it in a negative connotation.

Whatever happened to Liberty City El? Would LOVE to read his thoughts on our OC targets.

Hes gone bc of the many Mario slurpers on here I believe. Last post I remember was him laughing bc the season turned out the way he thought it would and he was critical ppl would jump on him.

Mullen would be great but just hard to picture the fit with Mario. So I’ll make a compromise which would also seem to align timeframe wise:
OC/QB coach- Brian Johnson
WR/Pass game coordinator- James Coley

Why can people picture Mullen fitting with Saban but not Mario? And is that a problem?

Because Saban is a mf to work for but you get in line to do it because you know the results are inevitable. No one likes working for him, but how many fired coaches check their ego at the door because they know working for him will 9/10 get their career back on track. Can we say the same for Coach Cristobal? Especially an OC?

I’m just playing devils advocate, but different stratosphere that we are discussing here IMO.

Zach Smith claims he knows one guy that was already offered the job for $1.8M, lol.

Hartline?

Agreed. And no we can’t say the same at this point. Mario needs to break that “offensive” stigma with this hire.

Nobody fits with Saban. Saban merely tolerates them.

What happened with all the Ruggiero chatter?

Don’t you know? OC chatter must always revolve around recently or previously fired coaches. We can never pluck a currently employed OC from a school who’s done way more with less.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

What happened with all the Ruggiero chatter?

What makes you think that a 57 year old guy who has had the same role under the same head coach in Bowling Green and Wake Forest for 14 years is suddenly going to take a lateral move in the big city as if it will jumpstart his career and upward-trending job prospects?

 

[htownkidd]

What happened with all the Ruggiero chatter?

It was just that, chatter.

I only stated 57 because that is the age that Ruggiero is about to be.

 

[CaneThang2020]

I would make another run at Jason Candle.

Offer him 2.5 million per make him turn it down.

At WR coach I would bring in James Coley, give him Co-OC title.

Let Coley do the QB and WR recruiting, let Candle design and call the offense.

Like the idea but chemistry would be my only concern

 

[CaneThang2020]

I hate this hire from a offensive playcalling standpoint but love it from a WR/overall recruiting perspective.......

I think it's going to be Arroyo as Co-OC/QB coach w/playcalling duties and Coley as Co-OC/WR coach.
