New WR Coach Hired
- Thread starter rudedude
- Start date
Right up there with the Honus Wagner card. All kidding aside , as a kid that pissed me off when they would mess with the pic, air brush wasn't in the vocabulary back then.I was just reminded of terrible airbrushing on baseball cards in the ‘70s.
Good pos
Gattis leaving was a killer at the time, needed a quick replacement that didn't work out which got us regressing in several areas.
Hagans is a solid hire. Some of the coaches mentioned as TS's replacement will be OC's and HC's in their next move.
Good breakdown, at worst a push in a couple spots. Improvements in a lot of areas but staff retaining consistency was worse than Alabama in the same time period. I checked that out.

Interesting. I wasn't willing to invest the time to compare to other programs - but I would have guessed Alabama had more turnover. That surprises me a bit. Would probably also be interesting to compare to OSU and Michigan. Michigan seems to have a LOT of turnover, but that's just my gut hunch.
Keep in mind, there are two types of turnover. There is probably at least one more, but it's better to keep things simple.
Interesting enough Gattis and Huff were two who coached both along with OB who technically doesn't count. Checked another source which has Alabama at 32 and PSU at 28 stay tuned but it's close. Alabama had a track of hiring former HC's as OC's and losing coaches who became HC's . The comparative site still has the PSU numbers but doesn't have the Alabama numbers that i got.

“Can’t wait to get to work”? It’s been several hours. Where in the hell are the five-stars? What are we paying him for? For f*ck’s sake.
Not to complicate matters, but I’ll take apple turnovers to go with my vanilla latte.
I think some people are just natural complainers. It’s their role in life to never see anything positive. Nevermind giving the guy a chance before forming an opinion. Nope. Complain from the start.
tj houshmandzadeh was on some sports talk radio show last week and he was saying that most WR coaches at all levels are sub-par. Said it was because it was the position most likely to have a coach from a different offensive position coaching it or it was made the "head recruiter" position so coaching WRs was secondary. In other words, are you bringing in a good RB coach to head recruiting but already have a good RB coach for the actual position? Let the new guy be in charge of the WRs. Good assistant QB coach who you don't want to see go elsewhere? Make him head WR coach for awhile. Interestingly, said the majority of the top WR recruits that flame out are a result of bad coaching; talent is there, bad WR coaches who can't teach the skills necessary to thrive at the next level are to blame most of the time. Food for thought.

LOL. Mike McQueary, a college QB, was our WR coach for seven years.
It's never a good idea to make any decisions, let alone a staff hire, without the approval of the BWICAC.
Good hire! Consistent with CJF's emphasis on stability, family, as well as recruiting and coaching abilities. Experience in 'the league' doesn't hurt either.
Oh boy. Don’t type that into your search engine.
Well if he can also jump like Vince Carter, then...well that would...having a Vince Carter vertical would help to...hmm...well I suppose that wouldn't make much difference in his new role at all...thought I was onto something...
As much as we’d like to forget about Galiano, he was the ST coach before Lorig
If PSU is hiring assistant coaches due to their perceived ability to out-recruit VT and UVA in Virginia, PSU has some serious problems. Fortunately, they are not.
It’s not as much about those 2 schools as the high end talent from the Tidewater, Hampton, VA Beach area ending up in the SEC or ACC. That area has always produced D1 talent.
VT becoming a 9-10 win team coincides with the Dark Years.
UVA under Welsh being a 7+ win team started right after our last national title.
You best believe that the top 10 HS kids in Virginia are kids we need and you don't want to risk losing them to recovering in state schools. Hagens was the only coach with VA ties on Mendenhall's staff and Fuente disregarded the state altogether.
In the 1990's the school at which I was employed (at that point as AD) generally had excellent basketball teams. Home games meant a packed gym of students and loyal local adults. We had a very talented and popular point guard named .....you got it Morehead. The chants of More head were incessant and all I could do was appear not to understand what was happening.
Look at pick 30.
