Known as a recruiter. That's why Butch hired him at UNC and also why he got hired for the tOSU staff. Seems pretty respected as a defensive scheme guy, too. Good call, HQ.

All-in-one assistant coach suggestions for CU
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
Just bored on a Sunday. I'm dreaming of a Dana Holgorsen staff and felt he would be a good fit
Jay Bateman
Current position: Army Defensive Coordinator (5th year)
COACHING EXPERIENCE
2014-pres.: Army West Point (defensive coordinator)
2011-13: Ball State (defensive coordinator/inside linebackers)
2006-10: Elon (defensive coordinator/linebackers)
2005: Lehigh (defensive line)
2004: Richmond (assistant coach)
1999-03: Siena (assistant in 1999; head coach 2000-03
1997-99: Hampden-Sydney College (assistant coach)
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
• Guided a defense that finished third in the nation in red zone defense and 14th in passing defense in the country in 2017
• The 2016 defensive unit ranked fourth nationally in total defense.
• Named a nominee for the Broyles Award in 2016 for the top assistant coach in the country.
• Responsible for an Army defense that intercepted 11 passes in 2014
• Led the Ball State defense to seventh in the nation in turnovers gained (30) and ninth in turnover margin (+1.0)
• Helped turn around an Elon program that won 14 games in five years to 35 wins in his five seasons
• Directed the fourth-ranked defense nationally in 2009 at Elon, allowing only 248.33 yards per game
• Defense at Lehigh ranked sixth in the nation in 2005
What really got my attention though, was this SI article:

Well, and the fact that Army, yes Army, held then #5 OU to 21 points and 330 total yards of offense in 4 quarters of football in Norman.
Oklahoma is averaging 575 yards/game on offense, but somehow the Black Knights hold them to 330 and only three touchdowns? (I backed out the overtime yards and points, but even with them: 355 & 28 - damn good showing for what should have been a ridiculously overmatched defense.)
He's been coaching for 20 years, so probably around 42-43 years old. Army is paying him $285k.
Recruiting at service academies is different, so we don't really know how much he can offer there, but if you want an innovative defense - this is it.

Army’s defense held OU to 21 points and 330 total yards of offense because Army’s offense was on the field for 45 minutes of game time.

obligatory Jamie Christian mention for RB/ST/TE
also Demetrice Martin is at Zona now, so he should definitely be our next DB coach, monster recruiter.
and David Beaty for WR coach. Monster Texas recruiter.

I was literally going to post the same thing and then saw this...

Kingsbury is probably getting fired from Texas Tech, how likely is it that he would find a head coaching gig? Could we somehow get him as OC?
If that happens, the guy who could absolutely raid that staff for whoever he'd want is Holgorsen. Dana coached with a lot of those guys at Houston or TTU. Kingsbury worked under him at Houston, for example.
Wristen is 56 going on 76. Plus, he wouldn't be able to get it done with players who actually had to go to class.
The transition from MM to Holgorsen on the offensive side of things could be non-existent in that case.
In terms of the talent on the roster fitting the system, yes. Absolutely. But figure we'd be scoring around 40 points per game.
That's why Holsgren is my top pick for CU HC at this point even if Les Miles was available.
Terrible, terrible, terrible idea. Would any other program in the nation hire him?
This fanbase just loves any name they've heard of before, is local, or has some connection to the program. That should be the last thing to consider, not the first.
I want him right where he is. He's doing a great job of raising the bar for the development of in-state talent and teaching high school kids what it takes to make it at the next level. He also has helped some CU players with their training.

kinda doubt we could get him, but Brandon Streeter for OC/QB coach. QB play at Clemson since he rolled up has been amazing, their recruiting is amazing and he's recruiting coordinator, and I don't think he'll get promoted to OC at Clemson anytime soon. He was an OC in lower ranks at Liberty and then Richmond. Not the big time, but he has at least called plays for several years.
But he's also a homegrown Clemson guy so he might have zero interest in leaving.

Liberty raises at least a yellow flag for me. I don't think that old time southern religion plays so well in the western US.

I think that this is a leap. He was a coach, not the Director of Theology. Besides, Coach Mac was a religious guy.
I'm not opposed to religious in the least. But it takes a certain kind of religious to work at Liberty. This is the place that hired Baylor's disgraced AD.

You hire Tony Elliott (Clemson's current play caller) or Venables and I bet Streeter would be the logical person to come with them as OC.
We hire Matt Wells he'd probably bring them both with him.....

My dream hire would be Campbell from ISU. I’m assuming that’s a pipe dream so I’m going with Lake as head coach. Assuming that I’d get rid of Roper-qb,Adams-OL, Bernardo-TE, Eliot-DC.
I’d add Jeffrey Faris duke- tight ends.
Aaron Henry NC state-DC.
Brandon Jones Texastech-oline.
Mike Yurcich ok st-qb coach/OC
I’d also move Chev back to wr and recruiting coach.

Ole Miss fired its defensive coordinator, Wesley McGriff last night. He's one hell of a recruiter who has had a lot of big jobs (Baylor, Auburn, Vanderbilt, Miami + NFL stops). Good coach, too, even if things didn't work out this season. I wouldn't want him as a coordinator, but as an AHC/ DB Coach type he'd be really damn good to have on staff.
