How we feelin

 

[smack99]

Excellent hire. I’m assuming it’s for WRs. Awesome recruiter

 

[407cane]

love it as WR/PGC or even RB coach just not as OC which I imagine it is not..

 

[TheBMOC]

How we feelin

Great. here are some of the names he's reeled in as the primary recruiter. What a list and I'm leaving a ton of names out:

Isaiah Crowell
Lorenzo Carter
Sony Michel
Nick Chubb
Troy Franklin (Top 50 overall WR in 2021)
Dont'e Thornton (Top 60 overall WR in 2021)
Todd Gurley
Isaiah Wynn
Jaycee Horn

elite elite recruiter

 

[Squid Bumciorek]

Interesting move. I would have figured Brady would be the OC and WR coach, and we'd hire someone experienced to be the QB coach.

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

Young dude. Won recruiter of the year back in '14. I'm guessing it's going to be a min before he comes bc he's the interim over at Oregon.

 

[Golsen82]

Bye bye Likens we'll miss you

 

[Gi0logy]

So Brady just as OC? OC / TE? Maybe he wants to take on QB development?

 

[KevinCaneFace]

So does that mean it’s not Brady?

 

[JayCane20]

Not what I’ve heard.

Guy also said Highsmith deal was done several weeks ago and it’s not and never has been

BMac is still in the running to be Oregon’s HC.

Interesting move. I would have figured Brady would be the OC and WR coach, and we'd hire someone experienced to be the QB coach.

Throw the book at Briles. Checks the OC and QB boxes. Coley coaching TEs. Seider coaching backs. Mirabal on the OL. That’s one of the best offensive staffs in the entire country and maybe the very best recruiting staffs on one side of the ball in America.

 

[AUcane]

I guess Brady is solely OC. Good get - Richt tried to bring him but he passed.

 

[Brickell]

Interesting move. I would have figured Brady would be the OC and WR coach, and we'd hire someone experienced to be the QB coach.

They could slide him to RBs coach since he coached there at Georgia.

 

[Genghis Cane]

@Liberty City El was it you who said he’s a good recruiter but leaves some things to be desired as a coach?

 

[CaneLife93]

I read that as Canes bringing on coach Bryan McClendon. He was the WR and PGC at his previous stop at Oregon.

 

[5XNC]

Still good chance highsmith comes

 

[Squid Bumciorek]

They could slide him to RBs coach since he coached there at Georgia.

McClendon to RB coach? That would mean no Seider. Don't like that move.

 

[AUcane]

McClendon to RB coach? That would mean no Seider. Don't like that move.

McClendon is being hired as a WRC/PGC
