Read the quotes from Beck about learning on the job and having to teach the coaches and kids. Year 2 he will still be learning as will the staff. Now same on the D side, IMO.
Guys cut their teeth on lower tier programs or schools in the FCS, not NU. We do not need to be a training ground for folks, especially not as a DC or IMO OC. Position coaches no worries.
Again without the rose colored glasses, Beck was the guy in charge of the RB's and we had no one step up besides Rex. The others did not pan out or left. Now JP goes from DL to DC. Every other thread talked about or DL being weak, getting exploited by the run, slow DE's etc and now JP is the DC. WOW!
This board has also talked about the issue of player development. How do you develop when you are learning, trying t teach your assistants and have them teach the stuff to the players.
Chance to make a huge splash. Swing and a miss.
In a few years, I am sure that JP and Beck might pan out. They might not. Does Bo have 3-4 years to find out?
And why do you say this? The thought of NU being a destination job is only in the eyes of the fans and nothing more. Every coach needs to get started somewhere, why not at a program like NU.
