Well, for starters, at Oregon he hired two straight Spread Run OC’s despite have the best throwing QB in college ball.
That alone is enough to give me pause.
Schumann is 31 years old and has only been a coach on staff for 4 years and is already a co-DC. It’s very easy to see where his trajectory is headed.
Hurtt is 43 years old and has been coaching for 15 years and has never even been a co-DC.
I thought this was a really good point because the new DC will almost assuredly also coach the LB and I didn’t believe Hurtt had ever done that.
Sadly, he did with the Bears for two years.
Hold onto your butts, fellas and lassies.
We have a Bama-like assistant coaching pool and we hire CLINT HURTT to be the DC when there are dozens of more qualified candidates out there?!
I mean, that’s just awful.
