Joseph actaullly has coached corners. At Tenn, A&M and N.Carolina for what I know..

Expand  

The perception of him as a CB coach seems to be fairly shit, though, based on his prior stops before ND. Is much more well regarded when it comes to developing safeties. Hard to tell how much of that is reality vs how much is just retroactive 'oh yeah he sucks' after he left those programs or now that he has gone to Texas though. Maybe he will be the kind of player developmental ace our secondary has been sorely lacking for.. a decade, basically, and I just need to stop worrying about it.

Yeah he's in town and working, but they haven't actually officially announced any of the new hires except Sark.

He's non-playcalling OC though - Sark's the real guy.

Expand  

I hope thats the case. We hired Sark to be that offensive mind, not to hand off duties to someone else. Our defensive coordinator will be Sark's most important hire.

Sark said explicitly that would be the case and that it didn't work the one time he tried to hand playcalling off in 2015.

Nah I’m worried to...I was definitely hoping for a bigger name for the CB’s also...But Sark has been great so I guess all we can do is trust his judgement on this

Giles is like Coleman, a good coach we can keep until we upgrade them. There seems to be enough recruiting rainmakers to make up for any perceived deficiencies on the staff, tho lest we forget the recent haul Giles has gotten.

With Arnett we could hire Lupoi to coach OLB/DL as Co-DC which means Giles can kick rocks.

At this point they are 'hitting' on so many A+ hires that I completely agree; if the biggest question mark we come out of this hiring phase with is "only Gideon and Joseph to coach secondary?" they will still have done a remarkably good job and deserve the benefit of the doubt. 

 

The feedback on Joseph is inconsistent anyway. Agger feelings on Joseph (dating back to before we hired him so not stained by just their typical salty retardation) seem to be he was an excellent recruiter but terrible at player development. ND is kind of the opposite; lots of praise for his development of safeties but concerns he isn't a great recruiter (I blame ND being a shitty pretentious playground for pedophiles that kids don't want to leave the south the play for, personally). Everyone seems to agree he has a great 'football IQ' and should help us developing defensive schemes against Big 12 offenses, though.

Yeah Sark is definitely calling plays. Does the OC have any other responsibilities though in practice or gameplanning that Sark will be handing off?

Hopefully he gets a reality check and sees what Sark is cooking down here and wants to join. 
Giles is coo but he’s been ahhhhhh...We still didn’t get as much pressure as we should even with the four man front.

I don't know that the lack of performance from the DL is Giles' fault. He's an above average coach/developer. IMO the problem is the weight that Coburn, Sweat and Collins are carrying. They're all 15-20 lbs too heavy.

That's hearsay, maybe it's true, maybe it's from the same source who promised we were getting Wiggins, which maybe we will maybe we won't, but for now we haven't

Expand  

I never said the guy didn't care about his kids, so we're playing the game of telephone on this thread as it speeds by. I said he left to go to Bama in the middle of a divorce with a bunch of kids being left behind. Call it what you want, but that came with the same info about the stripper girlfriend and the monkey, which have both been verified. 

Same person that told me all that told me that Wiggins was "gone" and I assumed to Texas, along with Flood. Not looking like Wiggins is coming here at least, but the rest has been right. My friends at Bama, one of them is an official figure for the program on their AD website. Maybe they were assuming Wiggins when it was Banks in terms of the rumor mill in their offices. You got me.

No.  That would be the original Ninfa’s on Navigation that popularized tacos al carbon before the Hyatt.

Or Wiggins has been offered an OC slot at one of these MAC/CUSA/SunBelt schools and trying to decide if he will take it or not

 Would normally assume all of this is bullshit but now that he is the CDC chosen mouthpiece.. have to say his explanation for the Golding situation actually makes a lot of sense. Certainly more any of the other floated scenarios or explanations as to why the fuck the coaching search is taking so long at DC / who is involved. 

Hoping he is at least wrong about us potentially hiring a second DL guy to be DE/OLB and DC to do ILB. Really feels like a predictable disaster if we only have Joseph and Gideon handling the secondary and no one with a positive track record working with CBs. 

Expand  

I am slightly more bullish on Joseph than some. Brian Kelly has a great eye for defensive coaches and he seemed to do a good job there. He doesn't seem like a plus recruiter, but if he is a plus developer I will take it after watching our defensive backs over the last decade. I have a weird feeling that Gideon is going to be a really good recruiter. I don't really have any basis for that, just call it a hunch.

Wasn't there a report about Vance Bedford coming on as an analyst? I know he sucked as DC but he's got a pretty elite background with DBs. That could help at corner

A friend of mine is very close with Lanning. I reached out to see if he had heard anything from Lanning about Bama contacting him. He said he hasn’t talked to him in a few days so he didn’t really have anything on Bama. But he did say that Texas reached out at some point throughout the process but never offered. He said the offer was expected to be north of $2 million if it was made. I have no idea if this provides any value to this board but that’ll be $9.95 😁

Sidenote: If you haven’t heard Lanning’s story on how he got into coaching college ball you should look him up, it’s pretty incredible. He started out as a high school position coach and is now a DC being floated around by FCB as a Saban target.

Can we have Bedford, Huff and let Michael Griffin bring cupcakes to the DB room.  Orakpo can deliver cupcakes to the DL room too.

He literally just offered a kid for Bama today, so he's still doing that job.

It’s his offense. He’s running it. Flood and Milwee already helped Sark with game plans at Bama so I’m sure that will stay the same.

I would strongly recommend watching the clinic he put on for Nike I think that is posted in one of the offical Sark threads.. Goes over what he does and what goes into the install of his offense. Watch that then rewatch the title game you will understand what they are trying to do in a hurry.
