Garret McGuire Hired as Wide Receivers Coach

Between McGuire and Wager, we have a hell of recruiting network in Texas.

Now hopefully those guys can actually recruit at a P5 level.

 
I like the fact that he isn't following his daddy around. Garrett has to prove himself just like every other coach does. At least he isn't riding his dad's coattails and is more likely to be held accountable. 

 
Some other guys hired in their mid-20s.  Hopefullly McGuire is as successful…
 

Lincoln Riley was 25 when he was hired as Texas Tech’s WR coach

Sean McVay was 25 when he was hired as Commander’s TE coach

Lane Kiffin was 26 when he was hired as USC TE coach

Ryan Day was 27 when he was hired as Temple’s WR coach

Josh Heupel was 27 when he was hired as Arizona’s TE coach

Billy Napier was 27 when he was hired as Clemson’s TE coach

What I like is that he isn't following his dad around. That's a good way to spoil a person's potential in my opinion. Seen it lots of times. He's being given responsibilities and is much more likely to be held accountable for it.

It doesn’t bother me that Rhule hired Joey McGuire’s son for NU. I just generally don’t like how college and NFL football coaching is inundated with nepotism hires. It makes it challenging for guys to get into coaching and be successful.

These hires are done because they have been around great minds that understand the game. There have to be relationships that are created in order to have trust and credibility. If people want to get into the coaching game start at middle school and work your way up, or play at a high level and create a relationship with your coach…

“Being around great minds” is the excuse that is used. There are so many qualified coaches out there, who don’t get the same opportunities because they aren’t related to someone who’s been in the game for decades prior.

Well I am seeing so many of those that are around great minds that are successful. Maybe they should have to prove that they interviewed a female that doesn’t know a coach that is a different religion and color to make you happy.

True, but that’s also the case in pretty much every profession
