Huskies hire former Boise State QB Bush Hamdan as quality control coach

Does he count against the coaching staff numbers or is it a bullshit administrative position?

Either way, Lil' Babushka should be getting nervous...

Because it would be awesome to replace the former Montana OC with the former Davidson OC.

You mean like bringing in the New Hampshire OC? ;)
 
Imagine how things would have played out if we hired Chip in 2008 instead of retaining Ty.

I want to stab something!

I'm not suggesting Hamdan would be Babushka's replacement. I'm pointing out that an offensive oriented coach is calling for more offensive help, further confirming what our eyes told us last season - something isn't clicking on that side of the ball between coaches and players. Smith is the odd man out if shit continues to hit the fan IMO.

I'm sure I should know this but what exactly does a quality control coach do? Sounds important...

An offensive quality control coach is an assistant who helps support the offensive coaching staff with information and data. They're people who break down film, compile data, analyze data and provide the coaches with reports. It also involves scouting other team's defenses, their tenancies, and other administrative duties. They do not count as "coaches" because they do not go out, recruit or have direct relationships with the players.

To me, this is something necessary for Smith and Petersen to restructure the offense after the disaster that was 2014. Hadman was a QB under Petersen/Harsin from 2005-2008 and has held a number of good coaching positions since then, including WR at Florida in 2012, Co-OC/QB coach at Arkansas State in 2013 (under Harsin), and OC at Davidson in 2014. Hadman is familiar with Petersen's methods and has experience as an OC for 2 years, meaning he will be able to coach up the coaches, especially Smith. The only concerning thing about his resume is that when Harsin jumped from Arkansas State to BSU, he didn't bring Hadman with him.

I'm also reading between the lines here, but it sounds like Hadman is a position-coach-in-waiting now, ready to take a coaching position next year if things don't work out for someone... either Smith or Paopao.
 
Paopao is probably out at some point would be my expectation ...

If Smith is let go at some point ... you'll find a more established OC coming on board to take the job and not just a staff promotion from within
 
I don't see any downside with this move. CP knows him, believes in him, he has some experience, and at the end of the day, our coaching bench strength has been improved.

I remember Ducks hiring CK before Dawgs announced Ty was coming back. I cold be wrong but I doubt it.

We would have been on almost probation and been a national powerhouse? Man, cheating is overrated
