New staff rumors
- Thread starter Longyac
- Start date
His complete lack of writing ability or training in journalism?
How about Charlie Strong? He's already on the payroll, lol.
I think getting former HCs like Rhoades would be a good idea. They want to produce and land another HC job asap.
That's to bad I was actually liking his twitter feed. Dudes just a savage!
That's pretty much the only assistant that moved the needle of rumored names. Would have really been a huge recruiting asset. It looks like it's going to be the transfer of the UH coaching staff much like the Strong UL transfer. Underwhelming but still excited. Herman should have kept Traylor if Brewster wasn't a sure thing.
From what I understood, Traylor decided to leave before even being approached by Herman.
Lufkin would take him in a heartbeat. Since Coach Outlaw passed, they've been average with a lot of talent.
If that's the list Tony Gibson for the fact that his defense kept an avg scoring to 23 points and most of that was B12. With the exception of OkState and OK blowing them out.
That Colorado defense wasn't to bad this year either!
not yet. he has not turned down the offer from Herman yet. just recruiting for his current employer
Jim Leavitt is a damn good DC and has HC expierence. Be a solid hire for Herman. Maybe the best on the list.
Are you guys kidding me with Paul Rhodes? Dude is a complete douche. He throws stomping fits on the sideline over nothing. You tube him. He has claimed Texas cheats throughout his time at ISU. He got fired from ISU the year they beat Texas (which is part of why that loss was so embarrassing). His main claim to fame was the inspirational speeches he would give when ISU got their one big upset each year. If we aren't going to make splash hires, lets get up and comers, not washed out HCs who failed even at low level programs.
I'm hoping there is no validity to this, and some sports writer just drew the connection between Herman and Rhodes and threw the name on a list.

Getting Leavitt as DC would be an absolute steal. Don't see it happening, but if it did...wow. Look at what he has done in his career as a DC.

I don't know if anyone knew this but this is a great read. (Yes this pertains to football talk)

You know anything about him? Prior history, ties in recruiting, etc? Usually your RB coach is a stud recruiter...
Answered my own question:
"Stan Drayton is in his first season as the Bears running backs coach after being hired by the team on February 5, 2015. Drayton has 22 years of coaching experience including the last four (2011-14) with the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Drayton spent the 2014 season as Ohio State’s assistant head coach on offense/running backs, his third consecutive year working with the Buckeye running backs. In 2014, Drayton helped the Buckeyes win the National Championship as sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott finished third in the nation and second in single-season school history with 1,878 rushing yards."

Ohio State, etc.. more than 20 years and a stud recruiter.
Not that I'm suggesting that we hire Paul Rhoads, but there are a lot of failed HC's that were awesome coordinators. That's one of the largest contingencies in the population of coordinators in college football. I would love to have a Phil Bennett, Jim Leavitt, Paul Rhodes, Will Muschamp, or Gene Chizik running our defense.
Besides, I would expect the coach at ISU to do whatever he thought he could to win games, short of dirty recruiting. It's ISU. They've only had 2 coaches in their history with a winning percentage over .500.
