SIAP- James Coley

[Odysseus]

Bring him as TE coach

 

[AllAboutTheU]

My only concerns w/ Coley is this insatiable desire to be an OC. Will he be content as a position coach & not try to leverage a past relationship to rock the boat. Also, will he bringing his laser eye w/ him?? These r ?’s I need to know.

Not sure I have a behind the scenes answer on this one, but doesn’t seem like that’s ever been his rep as a position coach elsewhere

Word in Polk is that Coley wanted the Lakeland job.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Being a good WR coach and recruiter is a given but I just hope it’s a coach that Dawson can work and communicate with.

They gonna cook up some wicked half back pass in snow plays.

Being Mario's bud for years does not hurt when wheeling, dealing, and recruiting his hometown SoFla.

I agree with @Memnon regarding Coley.

Too many of you are drinking the kool-aid. Hopefully Mario brings in a guy that can both recruit and develop the position.

* Dawson brings in a guy. Given the reliance on QB-WR relations in Air Raid systems and Dawson's need to have some of his guys on staff to implement his offense, the WR coach should be whoever Dawson wants. If we are gonna try and stack one of the positions with a pure recruiter guy it'd be RB/TE or maybe a OWR guy if we go that route instead of TE coach.

I’m meh on coley. If they’re going to bring back old coaches I rather it be this guy…

 

[CFLCane]

What about RB coach?

The guy who took yearby over cook then made him do a flea flicker in the snow?

 

[CFLCane]

COLEY IS SOME LAZY *** 'MIAMI TIES" NEPOTISM. STOP THIS HIRING PRACTICE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

I don’t disagree, I’m just voicing this perpetual habit of his vying to be an OC.

There are Two other position coaches besides WR still available on offense

Why would that guy want to come here?

Why would that guy want to come here?

Hartley can recruit like ah mf, multiple positions at that. Let Dawson bring the wr coach he wants, slide field into analyst role and let Hartley coach the te’s . Just keep him away from st's lol

 

[SayWhat]

This boards obsession with Coley is weird.

This boards obsession with Coley is weird.

He's a guy who Cribby mentioned almost came here, who has arguably the best recruiting resume out of any assistant in the nation.

Like how is it weird

 

[TrojanCane]

Love Hartley but why would he want to come back?
He’s at his Alma Mater and winning championships

Coley is an excellent recruiter. He’ll bring in whales at WR.

I kind of feel like he's let that go. I can't remember him campaigning for that for a long time, and by taking a job at TAMU he was essentially resigning himself to not calling plays.

He may have gone to FSU way back when, but he's from Miami, and has coached at two different Miami HS programs, UM, and for the Dolphins. He's a professional SEC recruiter who still has that work ethic and a solid football coach at the highest levels. There is a reason he get promoted everywhere he goes, because no one wants to lose him. Would love him at TE and on the trail for us. Him and Mario tag teaming top recruits, oh man.
