I would encourage those of you who seem to be intolerant to the idea of having DeBord as OC to watch the video posted below.

A Michigan fan sent it to a TN fan and told him to watch it. The story behind it is that while DeBord was OC under Rich Rod at Michigan, he pleaded with him to let him run a spread offense against Florida (and Tebow/CUM) in the 2008 Capital One Bowl. He felt like if he could spread Florida out, they would win.

And they did win. The guy knows how a spread offense works. His record as an OC is amazing and he knows every defense under the sun. If Butch thinks DeBord is an upgrade, I am 100% behind him.

He should have used this game plan against App st!

Ok. You guys continue to act like there's not a visibility oligarchy here. You guys just assume I'm a FF poster because I've been here for a while and don't post in the RF often, but it's because you guys will literally not respond to something unless it's A. Groundbreaking B. Controversial or C. Coming from someone that posts in the recruiting forum 20 times a day or D. A cutesy combination of gifs and pictures of Butch. I know you're trying to keep the drivel from the FF from seeping into here, but I've ready every page of every Football talk, haven't missed an announcement in 5 years and I sit here and bite my tongue while people lump pot smokers in with crack heads, question Butch's ability, and act like American Sniper was the greatest thing to happen to America (it's just a coincidence that it came out the same time there is a heighten sense of international unrest. If you tell a bunch of people "it's us versus them and here's a story about the good guys" they're going to say it's a good movie. It's funny, because I know football players personally and they were literally on volnation the other day laughing their asses off at vols fans fretting over Preston Williams. But I've never brought inside information because A. recruiting forum wouldn't care since it's not from Orange Venom and LWS, and B. because I can talk to someone in the football organization without spaghetti falling out of my pockets and screaming "GIVE ME INSIDE INFO SO THESE INTERNET TOUGH GUYS THINK I'M COOL"

The point is, this recruiting forum elitism makes browsing this website really unenjoyable. I have to tell my friends everything that's going on because they can't stand how hostile this place is. I know I'm sounding hostile right now but the vocal minority is still a minority and I gotta do something to reach your short attention spans and maybe this won't always be a "VFL VIP boys club" forever

positives for DeBord hire

was willing to run our playbook (because his was eaten by moths)
Butch is comfy with him (dibsies on top bunk)
looks like Fulmer
had his success in our glory years so he'll know our tradition
can draw up plays on his head if smart board goes out

I despise veiled marketing spins. DeBord is just a poster child for one.

Falcons - BS
other interviews - BS
greatest fit - maybe
major upgrade - highly debatable

The way I see it, it doesn't matter who is hired. Hot shots fail the same as has-beens. It's still Butch's offense just like it was under Bajakian. No matter who it is, we won't know the outcome until it happens.

Such conflicting emotions. I'm going to be meh about the hire. At the same time I'm think we'll dang if he is Butchs too target hands down then I don't want him to miss on him because there has to be a reason he is so set on him.

I feel better after seeing the Michigan offense bs Florida in 2008 game but I'm still meh about it.

I guess when you think of our momentum and talent returning your just wanting a big rock star to come in here without realizing teamwork is what makes this staff so good. One team with everyone in the building driving the same message all the way down the line. You bring in a rockstar and that tends to rock the boat and can destroy what you built.

I felt worse about the Jancek hire to be honest and that turned out ok.
 
All Debord has to say to Olinemen is I coached Jake Long.

DeBord wasn't even the position coach for Jake Long while he was at Michigan. That's almost like saying "All John Chavis has to say to quarterbacks is I coached Peyton Manning at UT." Not quite that extreme, but just about as relevant.

That doesn't make sense. Peyton played offense while Chavis coached defense. Debord was the OC so yeah he coached Jake Long. Debord also is an OL expert so pretty sure he had a big part in that
