Jerry Mack Hired As Next RB Coach

[37620VOL]

Interesting. Looks like he's never coached RBs before and Rice's offense has been a disaster. He better be an ace recruiter.

i didnt even know rice had a football team but SADDLE UP PARTNER

Rice is High as the Himalayas

 

[VolMarine1371]

Who?????

 

[Joe Dirt]

I trust Heupel to hire on the offensive side.

 

[Vato]

What resume do you want for a RB coach? He has as a 31-15 record as a head coach. That's pretty good. Plus he has ties to Memphis. What do you people want?

They don’t know what they want! If they did know and got it, they would b**** about it for a month then accept it

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Don’t know much about this hire.

Hopefully he turns out great.

That’s where I am at.

@griddie may have some insight on this from the NC connection

 

[Border Vol]

Interesting hire considering his significant lack of success at Rice.

Next to impossible to have any success whatsoever at Rice

Volnation in shambles

Exactly. Some of our fans are comically ridiculous. The guy is being hired as a RB coach. We got a guy with a winning record as a HC who is currently an OC...to be the RB Coach. And people wanna complain.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Saban just had to change his depends.

Agreed. I hope Heupel knows he's getting something better than his resume.

Interesting. How do you know he is well connected into various coaching networks?

I honestly know nothing about him. I hope he does a great job and I am behind the hire. My one concern would be lack of big time P5 experience.

The Houston paper had a great article about him last June. Mack had internships with multiple NFL teams and is an annual speaker at the Quarterback Coaching Summit... which put him on Eric Bieniemy's radar.

 

[sjt18]

Read he has good recruiting ties to South and especially Memphis and runs up tempo offense like JH

That's positive.

I'm not dissing the hire. Just seemed like an odd resume to me. His record was decent at NCCU though. Never hurts to have a guy around who understands what it means to be a HC.

RB's call him Daddy Mack or Mack daddy?

 

[LazhilUT]

This is a move to secure Chris Mack as our basketball coach when Barnes retires.

Ok I got nothing. Don’t know the guy or even if he’s related to the other Mack

 

[Hunerwadel]

If I have to say who? one more time just call me Al.

 

[ShreveportVol]

FWIW, looks like NCCU was bad before he got there, MEAC champs 3 of the 4 years he was there, and bad after he left. Like yall said about the OC stuff, he won't be a HC here, but surely that HC success means good things for him as a coach.

 

[GVol1966]

All I see is a report saying “expected to be”.
Confirmation?

Mack Truck

If there's a position you can go with a stellar recruiter who may just be an average coach, it's at the RB position. Having said that, I know absolutely nothing about him in either capacity.

I poo-pooed the Rice experience a little but he looked pretty solid at NCCU. If I had to guess, his experience in the Durham area gave him some good recruiting relationships in VA, NC, and SC.

 

[GrayWaterCanine]

A rather lackluster resume, but we shall see how he does, especially on the 'cruitin trail

He will be gold, I tell ya.

 

[Halph66]

Went the Football roster page and this is what it currently shows. At least there are 19 listed as signed from 2021 Signing Day.

You know what we want.

Soon!

Actually, an outstanding hire.

Sure hope you know what you are talking about!!!!
