Coaching Carousel 2021-2022 - Not Miami Related (locked)

[MedleyCane]

See, this is where HBCUs can not only grow their football, but also help the young NFL retirees looking to get into coaching. A guy with lots of elite level playing experience looking to get into coaching. These are potentially good matches, mutually positive for program and young coach.

Likens is a guy I would have been happy if they retained. He has a sterling record as a WR coach and signed a nice group of blue chip receivers during his two seasons here.

The heck are you talking about? Guy landed Brashard, Jacolby George and Romello Brinson last cycle

I liked Brashard out of that group that's it

 

[Dwinstitles]

I mean, last year's WR class was good and we got Rambo under him as well.

Likens is good man, idk if I agree with your take here. He's got R1 WRs under his resume.

I wasn't a Likens guy I wanted more at that position

Interesting and probably unpopular take. Brashard was arguably the least productive of the three this year (doesn't mean he isn't very good).

What is it about Brinson or George that doesn't twinkle your toes?

Brashard didn't get targeted nearly enough (or as much as Jacolby or Melo). That said, when he was used in the slot as opposed as out of the backfield, he was productive - See VTech, CCS, etc.

*I'm biased, because we have his NIL, but I think I'm being pretty objective here based upon his targets.

Don't like the explosiveness and speed. I like Juedy Cooper Moss types. I want guys u can't cover one on one and being in our location u should get the best. Are they decent college players? Yea they are productive but I want someone who scares the other teams db room......and their db coach has nightmares in the film room trying to cover him. That's my standard.....but again I'm not a profit they could be all world but that's how I thought about them coming in.

I see what you did posting that gif.

That's why your Ravens got blown out.



But good for Jones was a big fan.

Funny since Brinson, George and Smith are the highest rated trio of receivers we’ve signed since 247 started rating players.

Nope if u can't recruit I don't want u but that's just me. ME urban Mario Saban they coach like that u have to bring in first rounders that hit the green tree and u know they are different.

Likens isn't a bad recruiter tho.

I think Likens is a solid recruiter and a very good coach. However I don't think he's an elite or great recruiter. According to 247, Lashlee was the primary recruiter and Fields the secondary for Brashard Smith. Field was the primary and Likes the secondary for Brinson. Likens the primary for George. He was also the primary for Horton.

I'm not knocking him. I personally like having a "solid" recruiter and a "very good" coach, especially when the off-field staff gets beefed up for recruiting like it will under Mario, and when you have recruiting snipers like Field on staff. Likens is a good all-around coach that doesn't have any deficiencies.

Probably not a terrible hire since Lanning will probably run much of the defense. But definitely would not have been good with that hire had it been Miami making it. That guy is not a DC.

He’s an animal recruiter and they’ll need it. I think the most under appreciated part of Mario wanting to leave is that every single recruiting visit of any value was a 2.5 hour flight. Lupoi is relentless and losing Mario, McClendon, Mirabal, and potentially Chance will hurt their ability to be nonstop relentless

Lanning staff is nice so far - but I think his OC sucks from FSU. But I guess they are close.
