    The Tangent Thread, Dec 2014 Edition

    Winning always comes down to the best talent on the field, the more talent the more distance you have from your opponent and the more wins.Meyer and Saban that's why they selected to coach the Gators, Ohio ,LSU Alabama their the easy schools to recruit to, not because they are the best recruiters in the land. If you are out side of the high zones of talent you must do something different to attract the top players. I see Riley doing this, small changes using the kids media base for contract is big step having the fan base behind him, positive news coverage, backing from the past players .I believe this may help out in the long term to help us get into the top 15 in recruiting classes. Riley may not be the best but he filling in the holes we had and that's the start you need to make it back to the top

    I think the starter will be the RB who doesn't make mistakes ( blocking miscues )and who can hang on to the ball will be the starter. Since the backs all have positives and negatives when carrying the ball I think the ability to pickup the blitz and putting the ball on the ground will be the highest priority used to indicate who will be the starter.

    I watch the Lions because of Shu but I dislike the fish so I don't think I will see him to often unless he's playing the Steelers. He gets 60 million no matter what happens that's a lot of coin. He is one of the best so I'm happy for him.

    ok... so who has some names for the new DB coach?

    Well based on the giant hint that Sharp and Benning just threw out, I will guess this guy:

     

    Chris Ball - ASU Co-D Coordinator/Safeties/Def. Passing Game

     

    http://www.thesundevils.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=749629&SPID=126713&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=30300&ATCLID=207911638&Q_SEASON=2014

     

    Need to do some more research on the connection though.

     

     

    edit - some other options that fit the hint dropped:

     

    Mike Chiurco - Arizona Cardinals Defensive Backs Coach

    http://www.azcardinals.com/team/coaches/mike-chiurco/2a859ef2-1718-4915-b6f3-128c90109a22

     

     

    Matt Caponi - Arizona Wildcats Safety Coach

    http://www.arizonawildcats.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=750029&SPID=127113&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=30700&ATCLID=207985613&Q_SEASON=2015

     

    However Damon did mention something about ASU campus, not sure why Chris Ball would leave the Co-DC title though

    Ok I vote for Chris one reason only www.govandals.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=204760855

    Riley: Coaches Leaving after NSD "Bad for the Game"

    Well...if we were talking about the University of Nebraska at Moscow...

     

    But...this is America...And Riley himself LITERALLY just jumped ship on his team/recruits/school in the middle of December.

    In, December, recruits haven't signed anywhere, yet. So they are still free to look at other schools without losing any years of eligibility. I think Riley is talking about the time right after signing day, when the recruits have signed binding agreements to the school, and can't look elsewhere without losing eligibility.

     

    You sign to the school not the coaches, Having said that a lot of players sign due to the coach I think Alabama, Ohio state would have a weaker class with out there head coaches.Most player sign to schools which are close to home and if the style of play suits their abilities. We have to many rules now with out adding more.

    Just because Eichorst said resources are not the question doesn't mean he sets the salary for the assistant coaches.

     

    Is this a serious post?

    So you are suggesting that Eichorst is telling Riley what to pay each position coach?
    pretty sure head coaches don't decide how much the assistant coaches are paid, wouldn't that be the athletic director's job?

    The HC usually gets a pool of money and he uses it the way he sees fit.
    so the AD can't increase this amount of money he gave the coach to increase the pay of a member of the coaching staff? Seems to me that the AD has some control over how much coaches get paid.

     

    The AD increased the pool. Riley used it the way he wanted to.

     

    The Special Teams Coordinator and your number one recruiter pay difference is close to 200 000 I would be looking too.

    The 2016 class figures to be in the 25 to 30 range.

    So does the larger class that is neccessary next year indicate problems with balancing classes, and too many JC guys, or am I just beating the "Bo don't know recruiting" dead horse? I would like to think that at some point we should reach a kind of equilibrium where we aren't having to put out fires and being thin in certain positions like linebacker.

     

    I suppose the 85 schollie limit gives less room for error with regard to depth. Unless, of course you habitually over-sign and cut players every year.

    I think the over signing helps with balancing the depth at all positions you only have to look at the SEC teams for proof. There is a book written by a x longhorn called Meat on the Hook, gave you a good inside look on how the coaches eliminated their mistakes.
