alwayshusking Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Good stuff. Hughes was a major issue on the recruiting trail. He's probably a better fit at the G5 level where recruiting top rated DL isn't as important. Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 , hopefully after new hire -> I wonder if what appeared to be lack of ability to recruit had something to do with this... or maybe he's retiring. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Best news I've heard today. Not just because I was never a fan of Hughes - because it shows Riley is willing to cut someone loose who isn't doing their job well Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Grad Assistant Tavita Thompson. Works with TEs currently. No idea if he knows anything about coaching DL but he seems to be a great recruiter. Quote Link to comment
Kernal Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Who is that a picture of? "TE coach" grad assistant Tavita Thompson. I've read good things about him, but is he/could he coach the DL? Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Who is that a picture of? Tavita Thompson He's the TE coach. What does he know of coaching DL? Or do we shift some coaching responsibilties around? Quote Link to comment
Waterloohusker26 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 He seemed like a pure throwback who would have been great in the 80's and 90's not such a great fit in 2016 Quote Link to comment

ColoradoHusk Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Who is that a picture of? "TE coach" grad assistant Tavita Thompson. I've read good things about him, but is he/could he coach the DL? It's not a huge jump to go from offense to defense. The guy was an o-linemen in college, so he knows the trenches and probably what challenged him from opposing d-linemen. Thompson got a lot of credit for his work with Cethan Carter last year, so he must be a good coach. I have heard that he is a good recruiter, as well. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Funny, I thought we were all supposed to be fine with Hughes because we were getting a former DC as a position coach. 7 Quote Link to comment
