Willie Mack Garza named DC

[AFCAT]

So what the story with Garza? His “past issues” got brought up a bunch...

A DUI at Wyoming and he illegally purchased an airline ticket for a prospect's unofficial visit to Tennessee and misled NCAA enforcement when questioned about it.

Well if it's not stealing a gun at a strip club he's clearly not qualified.

And a second DUI at a stint prior to Wyoming unfortunately. He’s definitely had some mishaps.

That all depends on where the stripper had the gun concealed at the time of the robbery.

Definitely some issues in his past. Clearly coach thinks he can be managed, as i can't imagine Leon or president cruzado having any desire to interrupt the basically 15 scandal-free years of post-kramer bliss. Bears watching, but if he can keep his nose clean i think we'll love the hire on the field. You can tell Vigen thinks the world of this guy's defensive mind and his ability to coach.

He’s a great coach. So good I’ve already forgotten what the last guy’s name was. If he slips up he’ll be gone faster than a Nolan Ryan fastball with a 100 mph tailwind.

Coach must’ve been reading BN.com.

Almost scandal free...a drug deal gone bad in the early Choate era and some DUIs.

All players though, right? They're just kids so things are bound to happen. I'd think the bigger concern for administration is adults getting into trouble. I trust Vigen will make sure that doesn't happen.

This looks like a great hire. And you can bet Vigen doesn't think he needs to "keep an eye on" or "manage" Garza. A smart HC like Vigen never hires a problem.

Good point, and there really wouldn't be a reason to take an unnecessary risk. I'm sure he wasn't the only guy interested that knows this defense.

I thought the players was what he was referring to during the Kramer years.

Ahhh the message board fodder...

I remember some coaches getting in trouble back in the day but don't remember if that was under Ash or Kramer.

I mean...why do you think Ash was brought to MSU? One of Kramer's coaches literally dealt meth.

I was referring to both players and the Joe obrien debacle. And yes, there was a fight downtown with roger trammell when ash was coach, the drug deal thing with a player early in choate's time, but mostly the program has been really good at generating positive headlines since the Kramer era, where you had obrien, rick Gatewood, then of course the drug ring with lebrum, sullivan, miller from MBB that wound up with the murder. Yikes. Just typing that out kind of clarifies my initial point.

[BelligerentBobcat]

Make good friends with the media and you get a lot more positive headlines than if you don’t.
