Official New DB Coach, per Canesport (*Official, 2.21*)

[FromDeeeeep]

To be honest, I was rooting for Evan Cooper as he seems to be doing a good job recruiting, especially soFla.
But this guy sounds promising and he's done good work at Marshall. He did get fired at Kansas after one year on Leipold's staff, but I suspect that was more to do with Kansas HC wanting to bring in his own guy.
It happens.
Anyways, best of luck to Chevis.

The little midget Blostein over at Noles 247 thinks Nebraska’s South Florida success was because of this dude they just hired.

Can’t wait until he has to look through the windows while Randy and Novell are banging at some poor kids door trying to get in.

Can we get a db he’s been developing at Marshall in the spring lol? That would be cool even tho the ncaa be on our trail

He gives off Trooper Taylor vibes

Trooper was a beast when he had them bags at Tennessee. But then Tenn and Fulmer got scared by the Ronnie Cottrell lawsuit and neutered him before pushing out the door.

At this point, if he's been hired then we might as well just move forward with it and see what he's about.

Did you know him before all this? What's your take on the guy as a coach?

Chevis was 2017 MAC Recruiter of Year.
Recruited alot of kids from Georgia..

Chevis Jackson Tabbed 2017 MAC Recruiter of the Year - Ball State University Athletics

Good looking you don’t get a chance to be in the top two at these heavyweight Sec schools unless you know your craft very well.

Great hire.

Mario learned from his first year. Hiring a 'superstar' doesn't always work. Jackson and Guidry have worked together and produced great results. He's an excellent recruiter and has developed all conference players at Marshall.

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Watch the board change its tone. Lol

I skimmed thru 4 pages just to see @Memnon make @JZCane0825 change his mind on this hire. Lol lovely

 

[skeeter]

Gabby saying not final and that Cooper still under consideration?

 

[Samson Doyo]

I like the hire. I like his resume. Former player from a great program(LSU). Played in the league, has seen success coaching at different stops on the college level. I hope he resembles Guidry with his love/passion for coaching. Knowing Guidry’s system is a big plus also. Staff continuity is needed.

Go Canes!

We really haven’t had someone recruit and develop elite talent consistently in decades now. Like late 90’s /early 2000’s.

Dare you say since….

So 1 kid we were mildly interested in early in the process

The guy has LSU ties (GA at LSU, coached under Les Miles at Kansas, and played for Miles at LSU) as well as recruiter of the year while at Ball State.

This guy might surprise the fan base despite "lacking" the name.

It’s not “flashy” enough for some. The fan base will **** and moan about Mario getting in the way of the coordinators the cry when he doesn’t. Guridy has earned the right to get his guy based on performance thus far. I’m good with it.

 

[Reyrey]

I like the hire. A lot.

 

[BS85]

Trash? He was hired to coach CBs by one of the best defensive minds in football. I think it was just a bad fit more then anything. Sometimes a great football coach can struggle due to it being a bad fit. Butch Barry struggled here and now he's one of the better OL coaches in the NFL.

 

[RozayCane]

Already liking UM stuff/recruits on Twitter.

Welcome to the U.

 

[calinative umstudent]

How do you pronounce his first name?

 

[One9]

already hoping they pry him away, love to see it.

Hope it happens because that means he killed it for 2-3 years here.

I think the vast majority on here will agree that Guidry, JT and Nicholson are beasts. I personally think Salave'a is an excellent coach and recruiter. Couldn't be happier with our defensive staff. So while I have no idea who this new CB coach is, based on the recent coaching hires, I expect he's going to shut the doubters up.

Pretty sound logic. Beard was another one met with resistance that turned out to be a good one
