Canes are hiring Derek Nicholson as LB Coach

[canesbaby]

I hope Addae is going elsewhere too.

No question but it feels a little long in the tooth for that at this point.

 

[Coach Macho]

Really big fan of this hire too. Recruited Stanquan Clark to Louisville.

Actually, word is he didn't like Stanquan. Didn't think he was a take. Charlie Strong didn't either.

Position coaches obviously recruit kids but they are never the final decision maker.

Wonder how many linebackers we take I'm 2024

I’d guess 3

It depends how well the current guys play this season…

 

[Odysseus]

I originally thought 3 myself too but I know they just brought in a big class. But I know at least 2 with Capers and another guy

Some guys may take a shirt so practice will be a big judge

 

[GrozDozer]

I know the Washington twins were recruited heavily to UL so he already knows Bobby pretty well.

The energy between Nicholson and Guidry is gonna be night and day. Abdul-Rahim would be a great compliment to these guys.

Addae has been pretty active since Guidry’s hire on twitter - he still a candidate to be replaced?

A question for the insiders for sure. I was under the impression there was AAR smoke but it could’ve died down. Staff changes happen so slowly under Mario you sometimes wonder if they’ll still happen

Curious to see if Spencer starts at safety

Underrated recruit imo since his position wasn’t really set in stone

I think he'll take over that James Williams in the box role once he leaves

 

[mirvin88]

Hopefully a situation where Guidry kills it, gets a HC gig in two years and we were able to keep Nicholson as a possible replacement.

He could be a lot of things I agree. Think we got a steal there so hopefully it pans out

 

[CaneDog66]

New blood. I like strong but clearly Mario is going younger with his staff now that he has mom had more time to put it together verse the rush of last year.

 

[grover]

Hopefully a situation where Guidry kills it, and doesn’t want to get a HC gig for many years to come

FIFY

i could have sworn one of the CIS podcasts mentioned that charlie strong may have liked stanquan more than our other LB commits. was that not the case?

When did Mario say he. was a candidate to be fired? Being a candidate on CIS ; not quite the same.
