Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[MrVolton]

Dang

I like the idea of Des Kitchings in that spot.

 

[Weezer]

I can see replacing Weinke. It's not like we've seen monumental development of QBs. I think Rocker's done a good job with the DL. I'd hate to lose him for anyone less than Tosh.

 

[drvenner]

lulz at you guys wanting to keep a coach on one play that probably won’t ever happen again

He's also good friends with Pruitt. Less likely to leave Imo

 

[butchna]

I don't know what he made as a HC but I'd offer Frank Wilson at least $650k a year. We were paying $500k for YAC

Good starting point, but I’d go higher just for the recruiting boost.

 

[UTMVol76]

As well as ILB...remember them doing quite well this season.

Exactly. Tomfoolery

Coached ILB’s and they were in on more than one play.

 

[Volphin_Fan]

Didn't Kitchings just get relieved of his duties at NC State?

Yes, thanks. I corrected it. Forgot he got fired as Co-OC last week.

Johnson for McClendon/Graham
Weinke for Enos
Rocker for Lupoi/Davis

Trust is an underrated exponent in coaching.

Johnson for Frank Wilson
Weinke for Osovet
Rumph for Lupoi

The depth is a weapon and I’ve stated we’re 3 deep...he’s on that 3rd string at NT IMO.

Don’t disagree. Will make a very good Sophomore NT in 2 years.

100%. I'd pretty much do what it took though. Would be huge.

May have just been over his head as co-OC. Has a nice track record as RB coach. I would think he’d recruit the Carolinas well too.

 

[VolMike16]

Yes, thanks. I corrected it. Forgot he got fired as Co-OC last week.

he only made around $490k I believe with that title.

Johnson for Frank Wilson

This would be a win but Osovet scares me as QB coach. We have seen in the past what not having a good QB coach can do.

Garner is a mediocre teacher but his recruiting makes him highend salary wise.
Wilson is a very good position coach and a superstar recruiter. Never any guarantees, but I’d anticipate seeing UT in a bunch of 5 star top 3’s where he’s the main recruiter.

I’d only promote Osovet if we strike out on a proven coach/recruiter

If trust the opinion of experienced coaches like Pruitt and Cheney over the past jokers.

Roster mainstay and likely standout.

But Chaney’s here and is the main guy no matter who’s listed. QB’s Osovet’s coached swear by his teaching.

Hire Wilson as a Running Game Coordinator and pay him more and get his son as a walk-on.

Yup. They need to swing here. They need to pursue Davis or Lupoi as well. Have to get better on the trail but these guys are excellent coaches as well.

We back boys, its coaching search time!

Yes please
