Old greybeard ocach who stepped down from San Diego State this year. What are you guys thoughts about. I would love to bring the 70 year old in as an Associate Head Coach/Analyst type to help Manny out. Dude can run a program...look slike he was looking for dc roles and Dino Babers was meeting with him at Syracuse

I'm always for bringing in a geezer or two.

Hard to beat experience - experience with results.
 
Nah. We don’t need anything or anyone that will prolong manny’s tenure here.

I know a leader when I see one, and Manny isn’t it. He’s one of those “Fake it till you make it types”. A guy that knows “juuuust” enough detail to “sound” like he knows what he’s doing.

I can spot a guy like that within 10 min of hearing him speak and that’s Manny, 100%. A guy that can talk his way into situations but gets exposed once he’s put in position to perform...so he will try to buy time to “learn on the job”.

Anyone that’s lived in major cities for a while has come across countless people like this. And I hate to say this on this board, and I don’t want to insult anyone, but he’s from Miami, and most of America knows Miami men especially are famous for this kind of bull**** artistry.

I was going to propose bringing him as analyst or DB/AHC coach, but read an interview he gave saying he would only listen from people that he knew, I'm not sure he and Manny have a relationship so I don't think it's realistic

Would be an amazing hire, but I think all the dude wants is to put his head down and coach defense, so not sure what type of role he would want to take. Infinitely more qualified to be our DC than Blake Baker, I know that.
 
I'd take him.

Manny Diaz needs a greybeard or two around to guide this MF'r, but whatever...instead of trying to make this bum, NOT a bum...just rid this program of him.

He's such a politician, just surrounds himself with his nepotistic filth. Instead of The Ohio Gang, need to call this group of jobbers he surrounds himself with "The Cuckold Gang".

Thats EXACTLY what we need...someone to put their head down and help coach defense.

This is a stuff full of people learning on the job...other than Stoud who is at a miniscule position. Plus he is the dude that basically is a dinosaur of that weird 3-3 5 defense.

I'm doing this partially for shock factor....

Charles Weis...

He lives in Palm Beach...

Thats right....

Charles Joseph Weis to the rescue...

discuss....
 
Rocky Long is a different breed. He once said at SDSU that he wasn’t interested in seeking a raise because $900k was enough for a football coach.

When someone brought up his DC Arnett the other day, I mentioned that Long would probably hook up with Babers, as Babers needs a DC, and Long wants to be a DC. Long also has a connection to Babers I think from their days at UCLA.

No way he’d come here to be some sort of analyst. He voluntarily quit SDSU because he wanted to focus on being a DC.

His unbridled sexual machismo would be too much of an overpowering presence for Manuela to handle.

Long is an excellent coach.
He was DC at UCLA during 1997 seasons and they had pretty good defense.
He leaves for New Mexico and UCLA defense goes bad, really bad.
He does good work at New Mexico, doing about as good as anyone can do at
that program in the middle of nowhere before leaving because the dummy NM fans thought program could do better and wanted to run him out.
They've been absolute fecal since he left.
Dude is a real coach, not sure if his defense would jive with Diaz's defense.
