How is Heyward qualified to be a DC?

From Canzano's piece...
Leavitt tweeted on Feb. 5: “Happiest I’ve been in awhile. Been gone 3 weeks and to come back and see the players was incredible! These guys are special! Go Ducks!!”
I asked Cristobal if he saw the tweet.
His reply: “As far as Twitter and coaches tweeting I don’t pay any attention to it or give it much value... I think Twitter continues to be used by coaches to promote themselves rather than their programs.[/b]"

Yeah yeah, I know he's S&C Coach, but still...

I think he’s a great coach. But let’s talk about revisionist history. About 90% of you fucksticks couldn’t help but comment how average Leavitt was. Now he’s gone all of a sudden you guys think he’s Buddy Ryan. Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

That could be very true. But Oregon was 9th and 10th in the conference in pass def and rush def respectively. That’s really bad when you remove Oregon St who shouldn’t even be in the conference. I still like Leavitt as he was exponentially better than the last two before him, but it just wasn’t going to work out after getting turned down for the HC job.

Now that’s some serious revisionist history. Heyward was a very good DB coach. Trufant, Parker, and Glenn all developed into All Conference caliber players under him. Those secondaries were good.
Of course Lake came along and blew him out of the water, and then showed us what elite DB play looks like. But that doesn’t mean Heyward isn’t a very good position coach in his own right. He also has the body of work that suggests he’s ready to move to a DC position, though I’m not sure I’d be thrilled that we didn’t go pursue someone with DC experience if I’m a duck fan.

Big loss for Oregon IMO. Also not a good look for Cristobal. If 1.7 mil isn't enough to keep Leavitt around and happy, then Cristobal must be a huge douche who's unbearable to work with. He's like the anti-Helton. Equally incompetent but instead of being a dumb, nice guy he's a dumb, meat-head asshole. Feels like Oregon is still a dumpster fire but the presence of Herbert is keeping the fire at a smolder, for now. When Herbert's gone the shit will hit the fan.

Pretty much how I feel too. I'm not sure if it's good or bad for Oregon, I just want them to feel bad about themselves.

Shocking take from you. Shocking.
Oregon has stockpiled too many players to go away but they could be short term fucked
This is a big year for Cristobal. We'll all find out together

Strange take to lead with revisionist history.
-Trufant played only one year under Heyward.
-Glenn also played one year under Heyward, was mediocre, and was not all-Pac 12. He was Honorable Mention.
-Parker was OK but also only Honorable Mention.
-You neglected to mention his best player, Marcus Peters.
-Heyward was touted as a good recruiter at the time but only 1 out of his 7 recruits ever contributed anything (1 out of 8 if you count lavon washington in 2014.)
-That 1 was of course Kevin King who looked like nothing until Lake developed him which surely wouldn't have happened under Sark and Heyward.
-Most significantly of all- he left the cupboard completely bare. Lake had 3 freshman starting alongside Marcus Peters by game two of 2014. All 3 of which were recruited in the two months after CP was hired and wouldn't have been on a Sark/Heyward roster.
This is a huge show me year, very bad way to start it. How fast can he rebrand it ‘we’re so young but look at all the recruits!’
How many recruits was Leavitt the primary on this year?
0.
The dude wanted out badly, given that he's interviewed with something like half a dozen other programs in the last 2 months. It sucks because he is the best DC has had since uh...ever? But his bitch ass needed to go.

I already know how it ends. The fucking players voted in the coach.
7-6.
