ranking defensive coordinators.
If he wants to do that, I have zero problem with it, and it actually makes me more optimistic about the defense.
Why? It really explains the defensive hires. We spent the money on the offense.
Yeah, I think it would actually explain going cheap on the DC hire.
Because he should have went after a great recruiter that would have taken a promotion in name mostly to learn under tucker. Basically what I was asking when I said to go after a guy like antonio pierce from ASU who is the number two recruiter in the conference right now with legit So cal ties. Instead we got a G5 coordinator with connections to Georgia.
Pierce has one season of coaching experience and you want to promote him to a P5 DC simply because he wouldn't have to call plays and can recruit? There's so much that goes into being a DC other than calling plays. I would love to have Pierce on staff as a LB coach.
I can't recall if he has, but my assumption until I heard this guy say it was that he was not calling plays, I am sure it came from somewhere.
Yes, if you are a head coach and decide to call plays then go get yourself a coordinator who can bring in players and makes the entire job easier. Especially considering the staff defensively, which doesn’t look very good at the moment. It doesn’t have to be pierce either, just someone with a great recruiting reputation to bring on and groom over time. There is more that goes into being a DC but you can spread those responsibilities pretty easily if the head coach is calling plays.
Lincoln Riley and Urban Meyer (pre retirement)
I prefer that tucker doesn’t call plays but Lincoln Riley is a good example of one. I was just saying that if he ends up calling plays I will be disappointed that he didn’t bring in a big time recruiter as his DC, he could have probably used that title to convince a good DL coach.
Also his first time as a HC. Learning what he wants to do.
Probably, I'm not sure. Most HCs just have way too many things to deal with during the week of preparation, and then a ton of responsibilities during the game to be able to take on playcalling responsibilities as well, so that's why it's not all that popular. That doesn't mean it isn't done by some guys; it just requires more planning to help with the other responsibilities.
He should have something as big as play calling figured out prior to filling out his staff.
It’s a discussion board, don’t click on the thread if you don’t want to discuss it.
Dude was a head coach by like 36. He has to have some ability.
