[whalepants]

I don't give a shit, either.

Is it because he can supposedly recruit and you are a recruiting weirdo? THIS IS IMPORTANT

He had a good first year, and he did better than given credit for his first year in the Big East. He has fire when coaching and he can recruit. Isn't that what we need?

I just think that everyone is quick to crap on him because he carries a lot of Spaz's staff.

1) Spaz couldn't manage a PTA meeting
2) Temple lost their 3 leading receivers and let's face it... Montel wasn't healthy the first quarter of the season.
3) They still did OK (could have done better, but let's face it Temple is Temple)
4) He's a legit northeast guy

Sure he took heat at Florida but fyi

So did Narduzzi at Michigan State and so did Diaco when he first got to ND

[jrlbc06]

2) Temple lost their 3 leading receivers and let's face it... Montel wasn't healthy the first quarter of the season.

Ok, but Temple had its only real wins in the first quarter of the season....they went 1-5 to end it....with their only win coming over Army. The best you can say is that at least Adazzio can beat Army...

[whalepants]

I still don't give a shit. I had no expectation that this new blow dry blow in AD would make a good choice. Boston College should not hire anyone from west of Buffalo/Pittsburgh. People in the midwest think everything and everyone are on the level. Leahy has been at BC for a long time and he still doesn't get it-- the city, the culture, the strange Boston Irishness. This Bates guy doesn't even know where he is yet, and the only guy at BC he knows at all is Leahy. Its Stevie Wonder taking Ray Charles for a walk. The last BC AD who understood the culture was, strangely, Gladchuck. And he got run out of town.

Oh, and one more thing... Get ready for Blase when York retires after 1 more NC or 2015, whichever comes first.

No disputing that, but was Temple supposed to beat any of those teams this year anyways? They just don't have the talent. Addazio could have eventually brought it there. He was a great recruiter at Florida and he also had the number 1 recruiting class in the MAC for 2012.

[claver2010]

Maybe we can poach some temple recruits!

He actually recruited some decent guys there this year. name that sticks out was buddy brown and I think Jared alwan, both LB who had BC offers I believe (brown did for sure). I think TGOSB said brown was the best recruit to ever commit to temple.

I will say this, and I have written this before on this board a while back, I know someone very hooked in with The Staples HS football team in Westport ct, with whom Addazio is very close. He has told me for years how badly Addazio has wanted this gig and how confident he is that he can recruit and win here. I'm willing to give him a chance, at least untill NLI day to see how he rounds out this class. I don't think he is the kind of home run hire that is going to flip any of the mass guys but I won't be shocked if he adds some decent pieces to this class.

[basselope]

I too like this hire and here is my point.

There are many on here who wanted Diaco and obviously I would have been fine with him as well.
However take a step back and compare.

Diaco is a Defensive Coordinator for the current # 1 team in the country, who is probably not going to finish as the # 1 team. He has been an assistant in College for 13 years. This the probably the best team he has coached and odds are they end up around # 5 in the country. His coaching tree is Brian Kelly.

Addazio is a HC of Temple with a record of 13-11 over 2 years & this was his first HC job. He had 15 years assistant coach experience before that. If we look at the same point in his career, prior to Temple one could argue Addazio looked even better than Diaco does now. At that point he was the Offensive Coordinator for the 12 - 1 Florida Gator who only loss was in the SEC title game to Alabama. During his time at Fla they won 2 BCS title. His coaching tree is Urban Meyer.

Additionally I have heard over and over again on every one of the sites that say recruiting, recruiting, recruiting….80% of it is based on recruiting.
So let’s look at the recruiting records.

I took the last 3 years of Diaco at ND and the last 3 years of Addazio at Fla. In that timeframe as Coordinator assistants:

Diaco signed a total of 6 kids:
1 x 5 star
2 x 4 star
1 x 3 star

Addazio signed a total of 19 kids:
4 x 5 star
7 x 4 star
7 x 3 star
1 x 2 star

This. Connecticut is basically BCs now (not that it wasn't pre SA). I think he'll be able to recruit NJ well and is hopefully still connected in FL. I'm not as worried on the recruiting front as I am on the play calling side which was an issue based on people's opinion at Florida (although there were a number of other issues with players being in trouble that could have had an effect on the last few years of the Meyer era).

He doesn't call his own plays anymore, so hopefully he can bring some great staff over here and entice them with a legit ACC opportunity. Most people raved about the staff he had year 1 over at Temple.

He got Scot Loeffler to come over from Florida. Loeffler was QB coach for Tom Brady at Michigan. He was hired from Temple to Auburn this past season and well, you know where that went. He is currently looking for a job again. Not sure he can recruit, but he should be worth a look.

He also took Chuck Heater from Florida. Chuck Heater can really friggin recruit, he's one of the best recruiters I can think of. To get him would be great.

BRING BACK MONTELL AS OFFENSIVE GRAD ASST. ONE BIG FUCK YOU TO and

[commavegarage]

comparing diaco's recruiting at nd to addazio's recruiting at florida makes no sense for a litany of reasons. to name a few:

1. zero academic standards at one, serious standards at another
2. one is in florida. one is in rural indiana.
3. one has tons of hot chicks. one doesn't.
4. one lets you smoke pounds of weed without repercussion. one doesnt.
5. one lets you skip class and major in coloring. one doesnt.
6. one's coach is the most popular coach in college football. one's isnt.
7. one school was a haven to criminals (dozens under meyer). one isn't.

addazio's ability to recruit at florida literally tells me nothing about his ability to recruit at bc. diaco's recruiting at nd tells me a whole lot about his ability to recruit at a place like this.

Oh please. Get out of here with this shit. It's Notre Fucking Dame, they've NEVER had issues recruiting players. Sure, it is a harder place to recruit, but Addazio has still performed extremely well, and he continued to recruit extremely well at Temple. You're not going to win the recruiting battle between these two candidates.

You can tell me that you don't like Addazio's style of coaching or his staff, but 1 v 1 recruiting....Addazio would win.

Yea, I had never seen that before...I'll admit that

[MattTheEagle]

I don't mind the hire either. Yes, I wanted Diaco. But if we weren't getting Diaco or Golden, I'd much rather have Addazio over several of the other candidates we were considering.

He is highly energetic and a good recruiter. He is much older than my liking, but he knows how to fire up his players, which is what we want. I'm giving him a fair shake.

There are plenty of Addazio videos out there. I highly encourage checking out his pressers and pep talks. It's pretty legit.
