By the logic that some of you are using Jimmy Johnson, Dennis Erickson, Chud, Butch, or none of the coaches y’all crave would have ever come here. Look at their resumes, they were not necessarily killing it at their stops before here, but being able to project how to use personnel, coaching style, and adaptability is what made us gravitate to them and hire them. Canada’s coaching philosophy is about adapting to players and building a scheme around them. The previous stop for a coach does not always indicate his success or what he can do at his next coaching stop especially when moving around in P5 conferences. Canada would do well here with our athletes and I’m betting he will not get the Maryland HC job.
For the ones who try to use his past coaching stints as a negative, use that same logic for Nick Saban because he shouldn’t have been the HC at LSU or Bama then. Kendal Briles has had 3 OC jobs in 3 year but its ok ( and I like him as an option as well).
Use your eyes and look how Canada uses his personnel and scheme if you can’t project how that would look with our athletes, then I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you lack the ability to project or have a vision of how our personnel would thrive in some concepts.
