New DB Coach Search

[Treand3]

He's from Atlanta, hopefully he has some inroads still down in the South.

 

Have a feeling he's still pretty well connected in these parts.

Not an exciting hire but I hope it works out.

If you're a football recruiting coordinator at AF you dont really do much. These kids are being recruited to be in the AF and football is a perk. Much more important things than football for an AF student. They are not just committing for 4 years.

 

Now saying that, i'd rather have a good DB coach than a good recruiter and im glad to see Bo go "outside the family." And with new recruiting dept it shouldnt be as big of a deal, if we ever get it up and running! So far behind on that it isnt funny.

 

I also like the fact he will be bringing his military background and can hopefully help with ingraining the importance of discipline, work ethic, and teamwork.

Yeah, I'm sure recruiting at the service academies isn't the same as the rest of college football but there is at least some experience in that department.

[Mavric]

He's not one of Bo's buddies and he has experience. What are people going to complain about now?

Exactly. Probably the last three or four guys fit that description but that won't stop people from complaining about it.

Still trust this hire will mean an accountable and top teir secondary group for years to come, have the utmost respect for graduates of the academy.

I am not to worried about his ability to recruit. To get an 18 year old to come to a school where education and service take priority over athletics is huge. Going through the plebe year with all the crap that goes with it and still agreeing to play ball is a sale accomplished by a great salesman.

 

I hope it works. I was shocked at the RF hire and he was a huge surprise and one of the best hires by Bo. Wonder how Bo found him?

If I go ahead and complain now, will it stop any more posts about how many people will find something to complain about? Doesn't seem very productive or conducive to conversation.

 

Complain, blah blah, complaining.......not happy....more complaining......f'ing fair weather DB coaches .....complain....

 

There....I took care of that for ya.

Nothing like a full day of watching GA HS state championship games in the Dome!

Maybe being with the military guys he can bring some fire to Bo's calm demeanor.

Good to see he utilizes Twitter, he has a lot to live up to with Joseph's "BOOM!" tweets.

i wonder if there is any promise of him being able to be co-d coord or anything else in the future, I know its airforce but hes kind of taking a step down from DC and associate HC

2009 - #5 Pass Defense

2010 - #2 Pass Defense

2011 - #6 Pass Defense

2012 - #35 Pass Defense

2013 - #78 Pass Defense, 114th nationally in total defense, 2-10 record

Ok, their pass defense was generally good. But I'd like to know what their rush defense ranking was. Was it so bad that teams simply didn't have to pass the ball and could just run the ball down their throats?

2012- 490 yrds/game total

2011-390 yrds/game total

2010- 351 yrds game

2009-284 yrds/game

 

The above is yrds per game total. Unsure of rush vs pass yards.

Warren sounds like a great choice on paper. he is experienced as a secondary coach --- has had great success there. he has experience as a DC too. And his military background probably (one one think) means he is disciplined, demanding and has a good sense of authoritarian presence. All these things make it appear (on paper --- which is all we have now) to make this a promising hire. Well done Bo... you did not go with an inexperienced buddy who was not qualified. This guy is DOUBTLESS well qualified. Of course, I hope he does very well... and anticipate that he will.
