Relatively new to the site, but does every thread on AllBuffs end up in petty personal arguments? Jeez, might as well head back to the cesspool that is NetBuffs.

Yeah. Most do. It helps to be able to sift through that stuff. You can also put certain people on ignore.

sometimes they go into an unrelated tangent.

This is kind of where I am lately also. I am somewhere between buying a subscription and only following Barzil and not clicking on this website for awhile.
 
Bret Bilelma loses Randy Shannon to UF, reportedly Bielema may pursue Andy Buh, Cal DC for DC at Arky.

Buh got reassigned by Dykes and is no longer DC there. Before Cal, he'd been LB Coach at Wisconsin. I think the timing works out that Bielema was the guy who hired him there away from Nevada, where he'd been a successful DC.

If I'm Buh, I'm getting out of Cal. Coaching the defensive side under Dykes is likely a career killer.

avoid being overly positive and you should fit in just fine. Oh, avoid telling tini anything to negative..it is a fine line we walk.

I think you have to temper your expectations, these are message boards visited by fanatics (by definition). There are a lot of personalities and difference of opinions. This board is probably not much different than most others. But you are going to find some petty arguments ....As sackman said, You can ignore them or block out certain users.

I have been here for a while so know the way this board goes but, it has been worse as of late. As far as not coming to this site, who am I kidding, this site gets more traffic from me than any other site I visit.

Just made my donation to the Hookers and Blow fund.

No, I don't go back in time and read your drivel from 2 years ago, Duff. I never said "people on these boards were concerned...". I have a life outside of ABs and do get a feel for the local/national pulse on sports topics. At the time, there were plenty of people who were calling the hire of MM "another Hawkins" if he didn't bring his staff with him. Pull your head out, Duff.

Ummmm, what? I'm a little confused here.
 
Not sure we had this one:

Texas:
Wide receivers coach Les Koenning and tight ends coach Bruce Chambers will not return to the staff according to Bobby Burton of Horns247.com.

(footballscoop.com)

Chambers was the only coach that Strong retained from Mack Brown's staff. He had been the UT TE Coach & Recruiting Coordinator from 2005-2013, but had the RC role stripped when Strong came on board. Before coaching TEs, he coached RBs for the Ricky Williams and Cedric Benson years. Former HC at Dallas-Carter HS. Talk about a guy who could jumpstart CU recruiting in the state of Texas if MacIntyre could find room for him.


 
So go talk to those people if you want to call out their opinions. If they exist, of course. Otherwise trotting out bull**** from unnamed people you heard two years ago really has no bearing on Allbuffs. Hell, you were calling out the people who said Baer should be fired just a few short weeks ago.

Dude, I didn't call out anyone's opinion. I was simply stating I remember some people wanting to make sure MM's staff from SJSU came with him to avoid another Hawkins-esque situation.

As far as my thoughts on Baer a few weeks ago... I still believe the defensive performance is more about a lack of talent, speed and experience going up against the best offenses in the country than it is about our defensive coordinator. I never said he was a great coach, I was attempting make the point that talent trumps coaching and we lack in talent.
 
How many assistant coaches can we have on payroll?

Color me intrigued.

Very hesitant. Don't know if he has the drive and desire to do the work any more. Also recruiting to UT and recruiting Texas for somebody else is a whole different thing. We all thought Bobby Kennedy was going to answer our prayers, didn't happen.

Not saying that he couldn't be a positive asset, just hesitant.

Just from memory I think a school is allowed to have 9 coaches including the HC plus a recruiting coordinator on full pay staff. Don't know of restrictions on GAs and volunteer coaches other than they can't participate in active recruiting.
 
Mtn - Bobby Kennedy did a very good job here. The assistant coaching under Embree was not an issue in the least. Those issues were at the HC and OC/DC spots. The rest of that staff was a solid P5 coaching staff. And CU recruited Texas much better under Embree's group that it has under MacIntyre's.
 
College coaching staff = 9 assistants + 2 GAs. I think they raised the number of GAs, though.

That staff had a lot of guys who were quality assistants and who I would have loved to have on our staff under different circumstances, Kennedy is a solid coach.

He was one of the better recruiters on that staff as well but he never lived up to the hype that a lot of people bought into when he came in. He got some quality recruits but not at the level to make anyone say "wow." He also, like the rest of that staff had ridiculously high attrition among the better kids he brought in.

I'm not saying that bringing in Chamber's would be a bad thing, just saying that I wouldn't automatically assume it would be a good thing. I would want to know how motivated he is and how hard he is willing to work. A big reason that MB lost his job is that the whole staff seemed to put recruiting into coast mode the last few years.
 
Honestly, Chambers is exactly the type of hire we need to jump-start Texas recruiting. What we are doing right now is not working.

You may also want to take your own advice.

Heh - Bobby Kennedy. I chuckle every time his name gets brought up. Once a Panther, always a Panther and all that.
