Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXII

But, but he coached QBs at Utah State and USF to all time leading passers. And obviously Canales was the only reason Rivers was any good in college.

He didn't even coach QBs at Utah state at that . Lol

 

[volfanCLT]

Hmmm so we should be impressed by those accomplishments at powerhouses like Utah State and USF? Alrighty then. We should all be impressed by mediocrity.

Considering he coached the QBs that currently hold school passing records, yes, that's probably something to take into consideration for a QB coach.

 

[Mullins2010]

Who? You seem to like to go that route.

I'll give you a few minutes to fire up Google.

Matt Grothe was pretty good

 

[buffaloblue]

He has coached spread for several years before and has familiarity with the staff. Not my first pick but this decision could be great or cost Butch his job.

 

[McGeesPub]

Matt Grothe was pretty good

Hahahahaha.

I mean, he was fine, but your ace in the hole is Matt Grothe?

 

[buffaloblue]

Certainly hasn't had elite QB prospects to coach either

 

[amazingGRACE]

Have no choice but to support the guy but sheesh...not the usual career progression if a coach has a lot of potential?

 

[Mullins2010]

Hahahahaha.

All time Big East Conference total yards leader..not shabby

 

[McGeesPub]

Certainly hasn't had elite QB prospects to coach either

So why would one want to come play for him?

 

[orangefreak21]

Lol

Winning matters unless you want to say Jim Chaney was one hell of an OC here

Sal Sunseri won championships under Nick Saban.


How did that hire turn out???

 

[BruinVol]

CAnales is the experienced choice and the safe one.

I want a coach that has a higher ceiling as Canales experience shows little success but maybe it works out.

 

[VOL-uh-tile]

I just don't see making a post on a discussion board about not liking a hire as jumping into the bowels of hell. I think it's a low ceiling type of move, and with our talent level dwindling, I wanted to see a major shot in the arm. Weinke doesn't excite me either, but like I said, going the Scott route hems you in.

Happy to be wrong.

Where is talent dwindling? Right DE? CB? If this coach can show QD/JG/SJ the right technique, footwork, and decision making then it's a good hire. Compared to anytime during this or last season and 80% of us would be happy to just have a QB coach.

 

[buffaloblue]

He has to get QD or JG to show it on the field. And he has that Rivers feather in his cap as he still plays on Sunday. Only top prospect he ever had.

Lol. This guy has climbed the ladder and fallen down it a couple times. Sunseri only got one chance

 

[unioncityvol]

He didn't even coach QBs at Utah state at that . Lol

He graduated from Utah state, played qb there. so he coached rb's last year at his home school so frign what.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

So much for a recruiting boost. Bet Lawrence is very excited about this hire...

U have no clue how any recruit will like him...time will tell

 

[Rishvol]

If he is hired I might take tomorrow off.... But on the other hand I would miss all this entertainment

 

[WallyBalls]

Spiraling again.

Log out. Go outside. Burn one. Anything but this.

Pretty much everywhere except the OL.

Was just about to say the same

I don't have any issue with that really just responding to post saying he coaches the all time leading passer at Utah state

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

True, just not the hire I was hoping for when we have guys that have worked with Cam Newton and other top pro QBs on the board

 

[orangefreak21]

You say Canales is no good bc he's not "won" (even though he's not a HC!)

His coaching experience is bad experience bc of this.

Meanwhile the two stooges Dooley and Sunseri had plenty of "good" coaching under Nick Saban. We were the worst in the teams history under that watch.

Your theory holds no water. If he can coach, he can coach. Butch has been okay in making coaching adjustments.

You have to admit. Many were not just simply making a post on a message board. They jumped feet first right into the middle of the devil's a**hole.

My personal preference would have been O'connell btw.
