The same Tim Walton who forgot how to teach Sam Shields how to read formations and break down film of any kind? LMFAO

That is truly remarkable. There's a perfect gif for this. I just can't put my finger on it.

Sam Shields was a wide receiver when Walton coached here.

 

[skyman]

How do I get into coaching? Dude is pulling in maybe 1.5 mil now I would assume right? This is just too crazy

I believe that was John Lovett, who somehow is now the DB coach for the Eagles.

Hmmm....Beautiful Mind....scene where Nash goes back to Princeton and is talking to his old friend asking if he can hang around. He sees his imaginary friend and starts to flip out but catches himself. Might fit this.

Yes, but he was fired because He didn't want to run the D the way randy wanted him to

I wonder how many people would take him here now over D'onofrio...

 

[ARJB]

Just because he wasn't ready to coach when he was with us doesn't mean he isn't ready now. People do improve ya know.

I would.
And John Lovett wasn't bad here.

Favorite Bill Walton quote of all time, as a basketball analyst: "The only way they're going to win the game is if they put the ball in the basket more times than the other team."

 

[gacericardo]

Oklahoma. That's what I think about when I hear that name.

 

[Canesfan1899]

Loved the guy as a DB coach, but he was awful as a DC. He must have really improved over the last 5 years.

 

[3FW]

Just another talent wasted under Shannon.

How was he wasted? Did Corch handcuff him and not allow him to run his own defense, or was he just not ready for the DC job?

It's hard to know what was going on Randy's first year. Walton looked awful, but at the time, people blamed everyone but Randy for the problems. It's certainly possible -- even likely, in retrospect -- that a good bit of the problems were Randy meddling as a HC rather than letting Walton do his thing. We'll never really know for sure. Some of the problem was Nix was so awful, people probably assumed both coordinators were unprepared for their roles. But not that many years later, Walton is an NFL DC and Randy is a LB coach for a historically mediocre college team. There is certainly a lot of irony in that last observation, moreover. All those folks who claimed Randy was this legendary DC. Apparently the football world did not agree.
