Average coach. Good recruiter.
Those don't go work for credit unions
Subpar coach. Alright recruiter.
Data say he’s a very good recruiter, no? Maybe Twitter is lying.
Uneven career after he left ASU. Not bad, but not the superstar in the making he was at ASU.
Maybe he had a reason. I’ll never question personal career decisions. I’d take him at CU in a heartbeat. But I guess we file this one, like others, under the “everything Nebraska bad”.
He doesn't fit at CU. Not an upgrade over Chev in the slightest.
Better offensive mind than Chiv.
Based on? He flopped with much better talent, especially at Washington.
I am not making a case for Chev to be OC. Chev is a great fit in his current role.
If Lubick was hired today at CU to be OC, I would be pissed. His resume does not scream good to great OC by any stretch.
But enjoy the legend of Matt Lubick as an offensive wunderkind.
That’s fine, you made the comparison.I am not making a case for Chev to be OC. Chev is a great fit in his current role.

As with all, time will tell. I do think Frost was smart for making the decision. Probably got him before Helton could.
That's true. USC is a coaching mecca these days.
Losing Harrell would be a blow on top of struggles to hire a DC. And Bohn must be busy looking for a staff as well.
Good point.
Totally agreeI am not making a case for Chev to be OC. Chev is a great fit in his current role.

Whittingham changes "O" and "D" coordinators every other year, so .......what?
UU finally has a good OC after years of turnover. Losing him wouldn’t hurt CU.

Twitter??? Really??? You know what Twitter is, right? Lowest common denominator conventional wisdom!
I know this is just semantics.
I expect it from NFL fans, but I'm a bit surprised at the number of posters ITT making a distinction between 'coaching' and 'recruiting' in college football.
My perspective is that I very much view recruiting as an element of college coaching, arguably the most important element of the job description, and not as a distinct role.

In the context of Matt Lubick and Chev in OC roles, recruiting and coaching are certainly distinct roles.
I agree with you if we're talking about position coaches. Recruiting is the majority of the job, so I'm very comfortable saying that it's inseparable. If a position coach isn't a good recruiter, he isn't a good college coach. Period.
With coordinators, we can separate recruiting as a separate job function. Someone can still be a great college DC and position coach without being a great recruiter.
I'm glad you brought this up because it's something I'd like to see change with the way a lot of CU fans look at things. We've had way too many position coaches under GB, DH, JE and MM (we'll find out about MT) who were sold to us as great "coaches on the field" but didn't recruit worth a lick. Screw that noise. We shouldn't buy it or defend it. If a position coach isn't a good recruiter, he can't be a good coach on the college level.
