Didn’t think of this. Think you’re right, but man what a hire that would be. “How bout dem blackshirts?”

Good call on RC title, was my thought as well. I hope you’re wrong but common sense is hard to come by these days!

Have to think they keep this in house, right? Dawson moves to DL (coached previously), Busch comes on to ST Coordinator, Ruud either takes all LBs or Chins takes a spot, and leaves room for RB hire TBD.

Maybe, just maybe, two of the issues so many have outlined (recruiting and development) are exactly what Frost is trying to address. As many have outlined, the scheme isn’t entirely the issue. Our scheme actually works well at times.. it’s the talent and execution of the scheme that’s been the major issue. Just because a guy is rooted in one scheme doesn’t mean he can’t adapt to others and tweak for overall improvements. MJ, Quinn, and to a certain extent Harrell are guys known for recruiting and developing at high levels. As others have stated, I’m willing to roll with whatever changes are decided since there’s literally nothing any of us can do to change the fact that HCSF is coming back and changes are happening.

Fair question. One could argue this was done more for the fired coaches behalf (to start assessing their next step) since they were Frost’s friends and he can appear loyal to a fault at times. Sure, HCSF could start identifying targets but the delay doesn’t bother me as it stands today. We will know if this was Frost properly vetting to get the right guy by making a calculated decision - OR - having to go further down his list due to numerous rejections. I’m sure we can get an idea of how this all ended up when the hires are eventually announced.

FWIW, Grimes and Joseph were both on the 2017 LSU staff.

My guess would be that Joseph’s allure is heavily rooted in his recruiting ability, which he has earned. With that said, if he stays at LSU, I could see HCSF simply adding WRs to Beckton. I do think he is a bit of a “first, than” hire. If we don’t get him, other staff configurations take place. Don’t love that, but just how it seems.

Made it to the Nationals big league roster. Dad got a better job in Omaha and other son plays travel ball here in town. Going after obnoxious parents is one thing, but going after a kid for taking a big MLB signing bonus and dad taking a better job opportunity is a bit much.

Bump.

Happy with the Mickey Joseph hire if true, but… much more concerned who is orchestrating the offense (OC) and setting the tone (OL). And while it could all be smoke, pleasantly surprised at the amount of talk around ST names. Hopeful that it means HCSF is ready to make it a priority.

Agreed. I was more surprised it was mentioned than actually entertaining the idea.

Is this at all possible? I can’t see TA the type to change course after announcing a decision.

Trade Accepted.

Smoke picking up on Fickell staying put.
