  1. Traylor will finally have the support and facilities to "sell the ice cream to the eskimos". Congrats to him, maybe we should keep an eye out for his position staff or the unemployed TAMU coaches for our DC
  2. Agreed I understand giving FBS position coaches the opportunity to advance, but lets earn some stripes as a DC at the FCS level maybe make a few friends along the way (get an up on the portal entries) But we give Caponi the bus keys and he loads it with anyone willing to leave Ames for Denton as defensive staffers All experienced with a defensive scheme we again don't have the personnel for Then hire a UH assistant that's never ran a room to coach our front So even if we axed or demoted our DC the remaining crew will be no different
  3. Justin Deason snagged a high school gig after Morris left for P5. Deason was the DC for TAMUC national championship team with Carthel. Deason would have been a great DC (with a proven resume) instead of giving these Iowa St position guys a shot.
  4. Its not the DC fault, he knows the 3-3-5. He's coached a position group for this defense, he doesn't have the experience to run any other. The 3-3-5 will work but you must have the right personnel and safeties and linebackers that can tackle in the open field. We have neither. And although we have excellent facilities good juco and portal entrants have better opportunities.
  5. Definitely. A few months ago we wanted a splash, didn't want a hayseed FCS coach like Carthel. I'm not gonna guarantee these last two as wins but nobody would have left feeling embarassed, especially from a defensive standpoint.
  6. One of our wishlist guys for HC was Garret Riley (now Clemson OC), he didn't look too impressive against Duke
  7. Come On fellas, you hire a DC thats never been a DC, a linebackers coach thats spent the last 5 years as an assistant player rep then you sprinkle in a defensive line guy thats never ran his own room and expect to not get 60 hung on you? Then your receipt keeper can maybe get us in a few high school kids (2 yr works in progress) when you need coaches and folks with connections with other coaches that can give you a heads up with portal kids. Which is the single most important connection to have, in the new football environment
  8. Dang it! I was trying to be overly positive since the last couple of hires wrecked my defense. But you sniffed me out, yes Jennings is an alum and he's bounced around a few places (his industry has deemed him not a go getter) maybe why he's available. I'm excited once more, mainly because you boys tell me to give this a chance. 🙂
  9. He’s been a grad assistant since July 21 and 11 mos as a high school coach but technically you are correct though
  10. Didn’t have a bio on the Houston coaches page so I can’t verify that. Hopefully he’s an ok coach
  11. Well now I’m hearing the dline coach is a first year grad assistant from Houston that played at smut. So we are falling fast on the defensive side. Holy cow
  12. A concern that I have is Gilbert, he brings the smoke with our recruiting but can he be everywhere? Owens is a huge resource but he can’t visit coaches, families or kids. He can sit things up where our foreigners can visit. I know I’m blowing it up a lot, but to think theirs not going to be eyes on coach o just waiting to slap recruiting violations upon us (Smut). So to me the support staff lb coach is another product that finds talent but has NEVER been in a high school or living room. I pray I’m wrong but we were blazing until the defense came onboard
  13. Iowa st runs a 3-5-3 so our assistant personnel director is coaching a good amount of defensive players that’s my reasoning for being so skeptical
  14. We were blazing until we threw water on the fire. We stepped back on in state recruiting
  15. I guess we will offset the absence of defensive Texas recruiting on using money on staffing off field recruiting personnel that can’t visit off campus smh
  16. Hearing the CB coach from Iowa st Caponi and another Iowa st support staffer as linebackers coach Kratch. Guess we will try to light the scoreboard up
  17. I’m hoping for Justin Deason. Aggressive style that gives the guys opportunities to make plays and a guy they will play for, or at least that’s what his M O has been.
  18. Looks like he was the DC at new braunfels canyon. Went 10-2 this year, the HC there is the new HC at utrgv.
  19. Would love to see Deason. He’s coaching at a San Antonio area high school. He has kids in school there. Played linebacker at ok state. He’s recruited Texas and I’d imagine can put together a staff that will crush recruiting and offenses. Oh yeah he’s won a natty too. He’d be my pick from the list
  20. Ok we are going to need bigger dudes! Coach is 5’8 in boots, so we need him waist high to these lineman. 😂
  21. Ok I'll throw a few names out there. Here's a couple of stretches (since we like the sound of hiring somebody we can't get) Van Malone CB coach at K state and Lance Guidry (Marshall) I would be thrilled to take either Realistically Justin Deason Morris' initial hire at IUW as DC.. Also the DC for Carthel's Natty team Joe Cauthen DC experience with Houston, Buffalo (Leopold) and surprise surprise is now the DC for Colby Carthel So if we cherry pick Carthel like La Tech did we can get Cauthen, Caid Faske (natty champion d line) and Marcus Trice
  22. Oh my mrs FU, I figured you would fade away since the hubs is still unemployed. We all would like to know EM contract particulars and then really begin to criticize
