ATLeagle {l Wrote}:durkcal {l Wrote}:The staff I'd like to see is:
Chris Kiffin - DC (49ers pass rush specialist, Lane's brother! I think he would revitalize our pass rush and recruit well, Recruiting Coord at Ole Miss)
Mike McDaniel - OC/WR (49 ers Run game Coord, former NFL WR coach, He probably knows a ton about good offensive structure from Shanahan, but doesn't have chance to call plays there)
Antoine Smith - DL coach
Ricky Brown -ST/OLB
Matt Thurin - LB - (Def QC coach at Ohio State, from Ohio, has coached in Ivy league)
Phil Trautwein - OL
Eric Lewis - DB (Hafley will be for the most part coaching DB's anyway)
Katie Sowers - TE (First female coach in FBS football, BC is a trendsetter!)
Bobby Slowik - RB (49ers off asst)
Chandler Whittmer - QB (Ohio State grad asst, played QB at UConn)
There are a few other 49er coaches I would have interest in, and of course Al Washington. But I'll take Kiffin over Al
By the way, that Browns staff Hafley was on under Mike Pettine was awful. With the benefit of hindsight, a coaching staff tells you so much!!
There is a lot of dumb in this post, but keeping three staffers from the worst D in BC history might be the most glaring,

For everything I hated about Steve Addazio, it was his refusal to develop a passing game that sunk him and will always make him mediocre. We need to develop passers in this program. It is not a coincidence that BC's run has been propelled by QB play from Foley to Hasselbecks to PP to Ryan - QB play that kept us in most games for years.
Everything is about recruiting a QB and putting in an offense that maximizes that position. You win nothing behind a running game in college football.

I think you can be a heavy run team but you still need an accurate QB that can make simple passes and hit wide open receivers. If you can’t at least threaten throwing the ball down field or hit simple routes, then you aren’t going to win. We haven’t had that QB since Murphy.
P.s. I can’t even imagine what Dillon would have put for stats if he wasn’t running into 8,9,10 man boxes

I don't think so.
Personally, I think it was more that Addazio never went better than 4-4 in the ACC in a single year. He was mediocre (at best), horrible at worst. He was never good, not in 7 years, probably not in 17 years either.
Running the ball (or should I say, never establishing a passing game) wouldn't have mattered if running the ball wins the games. Forget the Kansas disaster. If BC had beaten Wake Forest and Florida State this year (they should have) and had gone 6-2 in conference (that was possible given how shitty the Atlantic division was this year outside of Clemson) not only would Addazio NOT have been fired, the team would have finished 8-4, they would have finished at about 24th or 25th best in the country (which might be all Jarmond is looking for), and Addazio would have had his contract extended another year. I truly believe that.
Do not get me wrong. I'm happy that he is gone but not because Addazio never developed much of a passing game. I don't give a fuck if they never throw the ball in 12 games as long as they win all 12 of those games. In that sense, Addazio didn't get it done (and never did.) That is the reason why he is gone.Thornton Melon {l Wrote}:We need to develop passers in this program.

FYP.
You are correct though. I totally agree. Everything is about recruiting. Lets hope that Hafley does a significantly better job in that department.

Exclusively running the ball without any threat whatsoever of the pass doesn't win games.

Going back to TOB, BC coordinators have always been paid quite well. Bible and Spaz... Logan and Spaz... McGovern and Martin... Brown and HCRD... Reid and Loeffler... Bajakian and Sheridan. I think the only drop-off might be for position coaches. That said, JB3 got paid... Paul P was one of the highest paid DL coaches around... I'm sure tenured guys like White and Leonard are paid. Look back over our history, our assistant coaches have mostly been excellent. It was only at the very last season of Spaz where things were getting questionable.
The BC is cheap think is more a meme than truth. The only time I think it is correct is when BC won't pay a coach to leave. Bottom line is that I think we are generally market rate on coaches... we can extend beyond that for a select few (e.g. I'm sure we'd pay up if Wannstedt wanted to leave the NFL booth). However, we don't always make the best hires and we won't pay-up to quickly move from a mistake.
claver2010 {l Wrote}:maybe back in the day but i think it's clearly an area bc got lapped over the last decade.
how much do you think reid & crew were paid when brown left for michigan ($1 MM / year)?
edit: bc also really needs to up the academic support for athletes, which given the academic rigors the athletes go through is really unacceptable

We get lapped by LSU and Bama and Clemson and OSU and MIchigan. Sure. We lap Rutgers and Wake and Duke and Vandy and Cuse. I'm not sure where you are going with this. I never claimed BC would be the top paying program... but we sure as hell ain't the cheapest. We pretty much pay middle of the road in the Power 5. That's not what is advertised. It is always packaged that we pay like we are in the MAC... and that simply isn't the case.
As for academic support, BC has it institutionalized and it is the envy of most schools. If you are talking about a system that does the kids papers for them, that will never BC... nor should it be.

I think people really need to manage their expectations in Year 1 here. Completely new coaches and system including a roster that was built to a very specific system (see having about 15 TEs on the roster). It’s also his first HC job.
I think they’ll come on strong at the end of the season, but I could see some major speed bumps early. This roster is constructed weirdly and there is a serious lack of pure talent on D, especially on the DL and DB.
Bruce Arians, 2x NFL Coach of the Year, started 2-6 this year before ripping off 5 of 6.

There’s six TEs on the roster. There’s def some roster spacing issues but honestly a lot of this can be sorted out with transfers and redshirts if needed. I see 2 issues. The biggest roster one is the lack of talent at QB. Unless Sam Johnson is magically the answer, we really need a graduate transfer at the position. The other issue would be the defense but I’m hoping it will sort itself out with improved coaching and experience.

There was a time when a post like this would cause me to want to point out your microdick. That time is still now. You have micropenis.
That out of the way, the qb question mark is substantial, but otherwise the offensive roster is sound at all areas other than wr (where it’s lacking but not as bad as usual). OL should be great again, rbs very good.
It’s not that the defense doesn’t have talent issues, but it was clearly much better with mcduffie back and the better dBs and he along with all contributors but Karafa and bergerson (and I guess yeargin) are returning. It’s not unreasonable to expect some underclassman to step up on the DL (sillah, ness, bono?). I also imagine there’s much room for schematic improvement considering how poor sheridan seemed to be.
That being said, I don’t know what expectations should be next year.
Eaglekeeper {l Wrote}:I expect 7-5 in year one. We definitely lack talent at critical positions, but the ACC is down and the OOC games are manageable. I think we will see substantial progress by year 3.
