How did he help with Fisher? He was TE coach while Fisher was at CMU.

Coaching tight ends at CMU from 2010-13, Barry's unit worked closely on blocking schemes with offensive tackle and future No. 1 overall draft pick Eric Fisher. In 2014, Barry took charge of a Chippewas O-line that paved the way for a 1,000-yard season from future NFL running back Thomas Rawls.

Hard to believe but TE/OL coaches work hand in hand....so he "helped" as I alluded to in Fishers development. Then was promoted to OL for one year before going to the NFL in OL roll like Simpson had in Atlanta for DL

Hopefully Hickson can recruit, that is all that really matters at that position. Old dudes on this site overrate Don Soldinger coaching ability at rb

I call that BS. His running backs not only had great vision they were great at picking up blitzes. Which is a sign excellent coaching.

Brown threw everybody under the bus except HIMSELF. Being tough is one thing; not holding yourself accountable as a coach is quite another. You can only do that so long until you lose the kids.

Brown played a significant role in the Offense and it severely underperformed (given all the talent we had). His interviews made me cringe often. He wasn't getting it done on the field. Not sure who was actually responsible for recruiting Lingard. We needed change. What Brown & Co. were doing wasn't working.

Re Coach Sol - his special teams units were outstanding & he coached numerous NFL Pro Bowlers and HOFers. Sure our RBs had tremendous natural abilities but how can anyone question his coaching abilities. Amazing to me. I'd take him over any other RB coach we've had the last 20 years.

Soldinger was a terrific running back coach. He did wonders with EJ and Willis. Both obviously amazing talents but he made them disciplined and one cut guys. Very good special teams coach as well.

Thomas 'Charlie' Brown was nothing more than Richt crony...

In before the rest.

Manolo is a Corch. Another Butch? A guy named Hickson...emphasis on HICK? He'll get shot in Miami.

LAZY hire. Corpse of Walter Payton was available and BEGGING to be on staff. Would work for only $100K. Admin is cheap, they don't care about students, football, or global warming.

Worst part? Butch and HICKson eat quiche.

FLY THE F[]CKING BANNER!


How did I do?

Even with some of the issues with Brown, how do you from a guy that coached at Georgia and Wisconsin, developed studs like Melvin Gordon, and brought in elite players like Lingard to a guy that coached one year at K State (and wasn’t retained), Akron and some random community college? I was all for firing the entire offensive staff, but if you’re going to do that you better upgrade or at the very least bring in coaches that are on the same level. On paper this looks like a major downgrade from Thomas.

Looks like we shot our shot with Enos and are now going to cheap out on the offensive assistants. Can’t wait to see what no-names we come up with for WR and TE.

it's about personality fit on the staff. These guys know each other in coaching circles and the grind of coaching isn't as bad with people you enjoy working with. This is about Enos' comfort level a our recruiting needs.

Seems like he's been a solid RB coach and has ties to south Florida for recruiting. I thought we should of retained Thomas Brown as RB coach but that's just me. I think this is a good solid hire.

It wasnt even viable to retain offensive assitants, full stop. You can’t promise holdovers a job before you find your coordinator. And you would be seriously undermining your search for a coordinator if you put a constraint on them that they had to work with some richt holdover assistants. I doubt Enos would have taken the job if that were a condition.

Also, a staff has to be more than just ‘he’s good at this, he’s good at that.’ They have to fit together philosophically, culturally, methodologically. You cannot know that until you find the leader of the offense and let him decide.
