Dream staff if Mario is HC (Long)

1. The fascination with Fields astounds me. You take Bobby Williams all day and every day over this mysteriously sfl credded non-coach. Off field recruiting staff for him.
2. Agree on keeping Likens.
3. Schumann is a pipe dream but since it’s a dream thread then sure.
Another dc guys: Charlton warren at IU (also lbs), Heacock as has been mentioned a long time, Doug Belk at Houston who can double up with DVD in secondary (former alabama GA and WV cb coach too), Brad Lambert co-DC and lb at Purdue (double up as lb coach and former Marshall and Wake Forest DC). Lambert is my pick actually.
4. Dl coach: go all out for Charlie Partridge at Pitt if Jess isn’t retained
5. Keep DVD
6. Moorhead is sick and I wonder how much of an effect it has had on their offense this year. If not Moorhead then:
A. Whipple (no I’m not joking) and bring Spencer as co oc and Wr coach. Bye Likens)
B. Warren Ruggiero at Wake Forest oc
C. Barry Lunney Texas San Antonio OC
D. Ryan Grubb Fresno State oc

Agreed on Hickson and Mirabal. Oregon’s DL coach would be a pipe dream given he’s strictly west coast.

My staff:

Qb/oc: Ruggiero
Rb: Hickson
Wr:Likens
Te/ST: Bobby williams
Ol: Mirabal

DL: Partridge
Lb/dc: Lambert
CBs: Van Dyke
S: Chris Peterson at ole miss
Defensive assistant/ assistant lbs: Aristide

I would absolutely love to have Patridge here. The thing is he is a good spot at Pitt where Pat isn't going anywhere and he is AHC too so some bonus money there as well for him. Not sure he leaves a stable place for anything less than a DC or big payday. It's all a big IF for Mario coming and assembling this type of staff, but Patridge is a home run no doubt if he's a part of it.

Did this guy really just say that we should keep a handful of assistants from the existing staff on this team? Are you out of your gat **** mind?

If our next coach keeps any of the existing staff at the program, they should be fired on the spot. Clean house and rid the program of whatever toxic residue exists.

Lol, don't kill me now.

I do think we can keep DVD and T-Rob. They have been here for just a year, and have the worst DC to work for. Just for Recruiting alone, it's big to keep both, and having a better DC to work with will be extremely beneficial for how their units look.

Fields has worked with Mario so I think there is a chance for him to stay.

Likens and Hickson are probably on the way out. For Likens, if we can replace him with Oregon WR coach I would be extremely happy. Hickson would need to be replaced with a good developer/recruiter. We can't allow any top RB to leave SFL like Cook with FSU again.

Ed Reed as chief of staff role or whatever it's called will help IMO on current coaches to give Mario some insight.
 
Why would you keep DVD as an on field coach? What has he done or shown that proves he belongs? Nobody in the secondary has gotten better. And if you think he doesn’t have much say bc T Rob is doing all the coaching, then you’re keeping a brand new coach for no reason at all.
He’s a young and up and coming coach IMO. Last offseason he was a hot commodity. It’s my personal preference, but I want at least one guy on offense (hickson) and one guy on defense (dvd) who can walk into any high school in Dade and Broward. Keeping DVD would be conditional with getting another guy like T Rob who can mentor him in the secondary.
 
Yep - 3 is too many. Field only as recruiting coordinator and TRob at DB.

The common denominator is Manny’s inability to let the coaches coach & run their rooms. Even if he had 10 years HC experience, you gotta let your coaches have their room & if they suck, you replace them. He’s a micro manager over every position group. It’s hard to determine how good/bad Likens (consistently playing Pope, Wiggins, etc) and T-Rob/Rumph/DVD (consistently playing Hall, Bolden, Ivey, and the coverages, etc).

Seems like Manny is or has over ruled them consistently. Only now that his job is on the line has he yielded some authority.

Reading between the lines as I listened to coach Soldinger last night, Manny is a control freak to his detriment. If he knew offense as well, he would probably call the offensive plays instead of Lashlee. Manny has “the smartest guy in the room syndrome.”

Perhaps @Poopscoop, @Da Jumbo Mutombo @Alex Jones @SWFLHurricane …. Others can likely analyze this or give better perspective.
That's simply beating a dead horse. Sarge just told y'all what I've been explaining for years. Everyone wants to chime in on position coaches when they aren't allowed to do their jobs. I will say not a single solitary chance in **** I keep 3 position coaches in same roles on a new staff... For me MAYBE trob but I doubt I would him either in same role. The concern with him would be it causes descension in the locker room because trob is very opinionated and he's also very ambitious. I'd definitely keep him on in a recruiting capacity but he wouldn't stay for that position. Doubt a new DC would want a liability like that either. Not keeping field in any capacity. He doesn't bring enough to the table to be a recruiting coordinator or a position coach. I'd keep DVD in a recruiting capacity not on field. I'd be willing to keep likens but it would take a few misses before I'd settle. The curious one would be justice. Alot of people outside of this program hold him in really high regards... Since I don't know **** about oline play id be inclined to believe them.

That’s a great point on TRob. If there is a possible cancer, got it cut it out before it becomes an issue & I can definitely see what you are saying DVD.

Good to know on Fields.

Manny Diaz seems to be on his way out soon. @DMoney says Cristobal is the guy we plan to go after per the rumors coming out. The question now becomes who stays, who comes, and who goes?

If Cristobal is the coach.

Who are almost certain will go - Feely, Justice, Simpson, Aristide, Lashlee, and Patke


The case for who stays.

Eric Hickson -
Pros - He is the Chaminade and Deerfield recruit getter. Has gotten us top RB recruits each year under his time here. One of the better units of this team.
Con - Pass blocking has been an issue for our RB aside from Harris. RB production hasn't been the greatest, but then again our OL doesn't do our RB any favors.

Oregon RB coach - Jim Mastro - He is about to put a RB in the first round on this year's draft, but doesn't have experience recruiting on this side.

Cristobal will improve our RB production instantly by fixing to OL as he has done everywhere he's been. I would love to keep Hickson on staff and see how his RB's do with a good OL coach. One thing we can't allow is a school like FSU to come to our backyard and get the next Dalvin Cook. I would keep Hickson.

Rob Likens -
Pros - Players seem to like him. Has recruited well and got us a great haul of recruits last class. Identified good under-the-radar players like K.Smith, Aiyuk, and Ibeita. Has a resume of developing talent and getting players drafted to the NFL. Experience recruiting from coast to coast. Experience as OC and AHC.
Cons - Still see some dropped passes, but it's been from the usual suspects.

Oregon WR coach - Bryan McClendon - A monster recruiter who has experience coaching in the SEC and PAC 12. Has recruited top talent and first-round picks anywhere he's been. Experience recruiting from coast to coast. Experience as AHC, OC, and PGC. Well respected in CFB.

This is one situation where I would be happy with either or coach.

T-Rob -
Pros - Is an ace recruiter. Experience as a DC. Very well known in the SFL area. Has developed and put players in the league. Can coach up the whole DB room with DVD under his wing.
Cons - May not want to coach here anymore. Have our DB's really looked better this year? Some really bad tackling from our DB unit.

Oregon CB coach - Rod Chance - Good coach with some good recruiting under his wing. Doesn't have much experience recruiting on this side of the map. His unit does tackle well. No resume of putting players in the league that I could find.

I would keep T-Rob and DVD. Recruiting wise that's a huge win to keep those two together. Give them more time to see what they can do in Miami, they have only been here a year.

Stephen Fields-
Pros - Great recruiter with experience recruiting coast to coast. Coached Brevin Jordan. Has worked with Cristobal in Oregon so the relationship is there.
Cons - Mallory and everything he has done this year.

Oregon TE coach - Bobby Williams - Has been around for some time. Comes with experience coaching special teams which is something we desperately need. Has experience recruiting coast to coast.

I would keep Fields in this case and there is a good chance Cristobal will because of their past relationship. I'll bring Williams as a Special Teams coach.

Who Cristobal should automatically bring in.

Alex Mirabal OL coach. The Columbus friends and Mario's right-hand man. Successful in recruiting and coaching his players up. HUGE upgrade over our current situation.

Joe Salave'a DL coach. A Polynesian coach who is a beast at recruiting and developing. About to probably put the #1 player to get picked in the draft to the league. The question becomes would he leave the west coast? Polynesians don't usually come to the east coast like that, and he doesn't have much experience recruiting in SFL. His resume speaks for itself and can definitely help with Anthony Lucas. Would be great for Kelly and Shemar to be coached up by a coach like this if they give us a chance. Mario is known as a monster recruiter and he will have to do his best recruiting to bring this coach with him to SFL.

Joe Moorhead OC. If Mario keeps the man I will be happy. Looks like he is due for a HC job soon, but if we get him, he is a great recruiter who has experience coaching and recruiting coast to coast. One of the top offensive minds in CFB.

As for DC, I would not want Tim DeRuyter. If I am Mario I am using my Alabama connection and giving a call to Glenn Schumann to offer the OLB/DC role. Has learned under some of the best in CFB, and is currently Co-DC at GA who ranks top in the nation in defense.

ILB Ken Wilson and Co-DC. Stayed with Mario and passed up being a HC somewhere. Got some big-time recruits to come to Oregon.

Aaron Feld for Strength and conditioning coach. Let Mario bring his own guy in and put these boys up into tip-top shape.


How it will look.

HC - Mario Cristobal

Offense /
OC - Joe Moorhead
OL - Alex Mirabal
WR - Rob Likens or Bryan McClendon
RB - Eric Hickson
TE - Stephen Fields
Defense/
DC/OLB - Glenn Schumann
DB - T-Rob and DVD
DL - Joe Salave'a
ILB/ Co-DC - Ken Wilson
Special teams
Bobby Williams
Strength and Conditioning - Aaron Feld.

This is all in fun and my dream staff if Mario comes in a HC. If Miami is really serious like the rumors that they say they are ready to spend are true, then this will be the staff to do it.

Sorry if long. Hope you guys enjoyed the read and feel free to change names if you prefer others.
TRob has the only chance of staying
 
He’s a young and up and coming coach IMO. Last offseason he was a hot commodity. It’s my personal preference, but I want at least one guy on offense (hickson) and one guy on defense (dvd) who can walk into any high school in Dade and Broward. Keeping DVD would be conditional with getting another guy like T Rob who can mentor him in the secondary.
He was a hot commodity at Utah St bc of Banda. We need someone who can recruit by using their track record of legit NFL guys.

This thread just points out how inept this staff is. The only position coaches with a real track record are likens and trob. And our receivers drop balls and our dbs don’t tackle.

Patke - joke
Aristide - first time coach
Hickson - recruiter
Field - Mallory sucks
Justice - line sucks
Lashlee - offense is meh at best and poorly prepared
DVD is a child and a joke. Also first timer
Simpson - only been a P5 line coach 2 years and sucks at recruiting

This staff is child’s play. Too many risks and first timers. Not enough experience. Not to mention under manures leadership they won’t blossom. Saban can take chances on young staff members cause he can mold them. Imagine being molded by manure.

Sarge as in Soldinger?
 
No disrespect to the OP, but I can't fathom putting this much thought into something I have no control over. Nevermind having the time to do so.

No offense taken my bro. It's fun for me so I don't mind. Doesn't take that long for me, and I enjoy the sport and my canes.

Awesome man, for real. When I was younger, without kids, a Wife, and single I used to know college football and basketball like it was my family. I knew recruits, where they went, high schools they played for, etc.

Now, I'm lucky to think 15 minutes or more a day on this stuff. Last year I didn't watch an entire college basketball game all year. Time and priorities changed.

Keep it up and again, no harm meant. Have a great night!

Stephen Field is so overrated

He's seems like a really nice guy and probably is a pretty good recruiter, which is probably where he should be. TE's have been nonexistent in this offense with Lashlee for the most part and when the plays do show up they've looked underprepared and not very physical.
