Re: NEW OC NAMES?
Erickson did coach in the AAF. I don't know if that moves the needle or not. A lot of the sports youtubers I watch were super hyped about the league, but I don't know if the recruits care about it or not because I don't talk to recruits. I would think that just being able to say "this guy was an NFL head coach" should count for something, but again, I don't talk to recruits.bobcat99 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 10:45 amGenuine question.
How many of these kids do you think have heard of Dennis? He has a fantastic resume, but his best stuff was done 20-30 years ago.
Telling them that he's a HOF coach is without a doubt impressive, but I have my doubts about a 72 year old coach coming out of retirement having a big effect on recruiting.

He went back to UI as head coach in 2006 and went 4-8. Didn't stay but the one year.

You make it sound like Dennis was run off at UI. He left to coach Arizona State.

Re: NEW OC NAMES?
He probably wouldn’t wow too many players, but he sure would get the attention of their coaches. He would surely get phone calls returned.bobcat99 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 10:45 amGenuine question.

Re: NEW OC NAMES?
It's a great question. Hypthically I would think kids might respect an older guy, his knowledge, been there done that, insight and knowledge a little more. A younger coach could relate to them more. Coaching and recruiting comes down to trust, and believing in that system.bobcat99 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 10:45 amGenuine question.

Re: NEW OC NAMES?
Simply mention that your OC was formerly the head coach of the 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Miami Hurricanes, Oregon State and Arizona State, I am guessing that will woo kids... Seriously, does any HEAD COACH in the Big Sky have that kind of “cache”? It is not even close....BLACKnBLUEnGOLD wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 12:05 pmErickson did coach in the AAF.

I saw Choate at the R-bar a few hours ago. Should have asked him who he chose for the position.

Re: NEW OC NAMES?
It's February so there's nothing else to talk about. It's either this or scrutinizing the verbal commits based on highlight tapes filmed with a shaky iphone. Talking about the coaches seems like the high road.

Re: NEW OC NAMES?
I think it's going to be Troy as a player and coach. He'll be the OC and then run out and play LB on D.arvcat2 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 7:42 pmYeah, can someone please start another never ending quarterback or Troy Andersen thread pleaseBLACKnBLUEnGOLD wrote: ↑Sat Feb 01, 2020 6:35 pmIt's February so there's nothing else to talk about.
