Sparker Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Didn't say Fisher's resume was as good as Johnson's. Just wondering why there isn't any questions about these coaches? I don't remember a lot of love for Warren when he was hired last year. You guys are the experts is every hire Riley has made a home run? You seem either surprised or disappointed that people are optimistic about the new staff. After the last 7 years I think some blind optimism is warranted around here. But here's the thing, what I have read so far isn't even blind optimism. People are discussing resumes and coaching history and you seem to be asking for people to complain about it. You will see plenty of complaining once we see some practicing and spring ball and our first loss. Right now can't we be happy? 2 Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Didn't say he would be a bad hire. If you saw my earlier post I was sticking up for Fisher. I just think it's funny how all the people that bitched about pretty much every person the Pelini hired are now pumping sunshine up each others butts. I really hope these new coaches all pan out but I've yet to see a hire that blows me away.i did not insinuate any negative about it. Sorry if it seemed so. I was just stating a matter of fact.

The Dude Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Langsdorf and Mike Johnson would be great additions. This would be pretty much the exact opposite of Pelini hiring a bunch of guys who had never coached at this level. Stop trying to compare the two. 4 Quote Link to comment

I don't remember a lot of love for Warren when he was hired last year. You guys are the experts is every hire Riley has made a home run?No one has said these hires are home runs, that is yet to be seen. What is undeniably different however, is the overall experience of the staff being brought in. Compare that to the previous staff with much less experience in this type of job environment. Keep in mind that this was also Bo's first HC job. There were some coaches doing a pretty good job IMO; Kaz, Fisher, Warren, and Garrison all seemed to recruit well at least. On Bo's staff he had 2 coaches acting as coordinators for the first time. He had a first time GA developing his QB's. Kaz, Barney, and Beck were the only ones besides Bo with power 5 experience. I don't remember people being over the moon about Warren, but the vibe was positive when he was first hired. I also distinctly remember how quickly his recruiting impact made a positive impression on the fanbase. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm going to be positive and supportive of all coaches until Riley gives me a reason not to just like I did for Bobo Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I just think it's funny that a lot of the same people that thought Fisher, Kaz and Warren were bad hires now have no problem with Riley bringing in a highschool wide receivers coach and a assistant strength coach. There isn't a valid comparison here. Mike Johnson's resume: WRs coach: 1997-98 Oregon State QBs coach: 1999 Oregon State QBs coach: 2000-01 San Diego Chargers WRs coach: 2002 Atlanta Falcons QBs coach: 2003-05 Atlanta Falcons (including 2-game stint as interim OC) WRs coach: 2006-07 Baltimore Ravens QBs coach: 2009-10 San Francisco 49ers Offensive Coordinator: 2010 San Francisco 49ers Offensive Coordinator: 2011 UCLA Bruins (also interim Head Coach) Fisher, apart from being a GA for 4 seasons and HS head coach, was an assistant at Idaho for 5 seasons (2 at WRs, 3 at LBs). So there's nothing really funny about people who didn't like the Fisher hire having no problems with Mike Johnson; it makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment
