WR Coach Kevin Beard

Cleats in practice love it

This changes everything

 

[Cribby]

Are we leading for him? Little behind on his recruitment.

No clue. I’m probably as behind as you are. I think Dawson helps though. Regardless I think we get a minimum of one good portal wr and a possibility of a second. So I’m nit stressing him as much.

I wonder why Bruce Feldman hasn't tweeted about this yet, it's been almost 24 hours.

 

[ghost2]

That's the worst name I ever heard

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Yeap....Jim Tressel, Terry Bowden and even Joe Paterno were the names being tossed around by media.

I didn’t even know those were names being thrown around I know they were two or three people for sure that turned us down, and probably more, but the one guy that really chapped my *** was Sonny Lubbick, he was, for a fact, offered the job, and turned us down to stay at Colorado State.

Colorado State.

Talk about underwhelming.

He’s been under candle for a minute and has the work ethic Mario wants in a position coach so no

 

[Brooklyndee]

Wait, are you saying that we passed on Hank because he wanted a passing game coordinator title?!?

Nah. There was more to it than that. I'm not even sure that's the title he wanted. I'm just saying he wanted a title besides simply wr coach. At the end of the day I'm not sure how crazy Dawson was about him either.

@No_Fly_Zone we may need another colorful illustration here.

He text me and said he refused to post any more Cane material until you withdrew your cold feet remarks for good. (His words)

 

[Brooklyndee]

Cooney not getting a Christmas card this year .

don't get me started on that 1

 

[TheEye]

Richt hired Dugans. His opinion on WR coaches is worthless.

Hardly the only WR coach he hired in his career.

He's making a valid point though... Hmmm

Tressel was actually offered the job. Declined (as I recall) due to some family issues and/or issues around the NCAA investigation of Ray Isaac.

 

[Canes2082]

Facts but be careful with Deon late dude annoying asf

Deion….

Media has always been full of ****. It's not something new. I know a few of the names that were brought up and yes sonny was one of them but even thought it didn't start out that way, he was essentially a god at csu and his kids etc were going there. It became a legacy job for him. I also think he was scared to deal with the pressure that came along down here. He was offered this job twice that I know of and turned us down. Jimmy was offered another time in two different capacities. By that point the book was out on what our administration was like towards coaches. No shock any coach already established wouldn't want anything to do with us. You'd be signing onto a ad that was known as a totalitarian. Who wants to play second fiddle in your own program to an ad.

That sounds right. It was such a long time ago. I don’t ever recall Paterno being an actual possibility. I’m sure you remember about Lubich, I think he was the last guy we offered before we went to Dallas to get Butch, who had never been a head coach before if I remember correctly.

Yeah, thanks for the insight, I didn’t know his kids went there. Obviously you know who he is and have the chops to set the record straight.

Beard>Dugans

I deep down believe Dugans should be an OL coach because his guys could block. Couldn’t do a ton else but they blocked their asses off.

 

[Canesfan1899]

Couple quick thoughts:

1. No real feelings towards this hire. It is what it is.

2. I don’t really care much about his previous time here. We aren’t the same program resource wise.

3. Mario has mentioned the WR position since he arrived. **** him and Gattis basically publicly said last spring that we were in trouble at the position. Mario takes recruiting personally. As much as us fans know how massive the WR recruiting is, I know Mario feels it even more. If he feels Beard is the key to this, then ok let’s roll. Won’t take long to find out.

This right here. Everyone getting their panties in a bunch over a position coach hire. We have a completely different offensive system than when he was here before and he was doing well at Toledo. Let’s give the man a chance to work before we **** all over him.
