I think Cignetti is a mediocrity that's rode his father's brand name into a bunch of jobs that haven't stuck but his pedigree is enough it isn't going to hurt us on paper. Ultimately as we've learned, if the HC handcuffs the OC, doesn't really matter how good they are or are not (see Day, Ryan).

In all seriousness, S&C coaches are the most important hires a head coach makes.
The NCAA allows them the most contact year round with the players (even in the offseason) so you need a guy that knows what the fuck he is doing. I'm pretty sure everything funnels through them as a result: workouts, conditioning, strength program, etc. I like the fact we got a guy at a big time program like tOSU.

NJM89 {l Wrote}:Sean Duggan will be added to the staff I bet. Was with Hafley this year at OSU and would be a great recruiter for the state of Ohio and of course at St. X. Can sell the kids on playing with Keeks in HS through college. Wouldnt mind him as a LB coach.

from Bridgewater Mass, 2 year starter at BC, 10 year NFL vet, OL Coach for 2 years for one of the best lines in the league. would be a great get if Cowboys go a different direction.

eagletx {l Wrote}:Don't know whether Gunnell will be retained or not, but seems to me he missed a real opportunity in the bowl game to ace a job interview. Stepping back and letting White call the same old tired and quickly apparent ineffective game plan doesn't reflect well on him. Yeah it was just one meaningless bowl game, but that is exactly why he might have used it to make a splash, rather than the thud it was.
Beyond that, I don't think Ricky Brown did anything to warrant further consideration. Cut him loose. Next to QB development, ST was maybe the next worst continuous weakness in the Addazio era.

I don't think it's an odd move. He's not here to be the DC. He's a position coach in a position where the HC specializes. So long as he can recruit, great.

Poor. His 2019 247 sports ranking was 19.06. I believe that put him lowest on Miss State staff. And below BC guys like Trautwein, Brown and Lewis (not exactly the Hafley's, Locksley and Cristobal of the world)
2018 , he was 15.18. Again, Low.
He's ascended to Coordinator. And while I don't love the hire, people have to understand that coordinators, as a general rule, do not have nearly as much time and responsibility for recruiting. If you really love a guy's recruiting output, you want them as a position coach. If you want them at Coordinator, it's because they can design and install a great system. Such system will ideally be easy to sell for all the monster recruiters you hired as position coaches. Rinse and repeat.

I'm all for it. Just asked my friend for some insight. Anything info outside of the wiki entry, etc.

I'd prefer they also be good hires and not bad hires.

I guess it would be similar to Daz getting hired as say an OL coach at like Penn State and someone asking one of us what they thought of it.
