Not saying its going to work out but here is one take on Huff.

Appreciate the share and Cooper’s opinion. He’s seemingly always been a straight-shooter and doesn’t have to reach out and make endorsements for these guys when Lake’s dumbass ran him off for Justin Glenn.

So, this holds water for me. Plus, Huff and Adams know how to recruit with the big boys. Just hope the new scheme makes them better coaches.

Are we keeping Socha, or canning the guy who let all the OL/DL get fat and soft.

We should be getting the Fresno State Strength and Conditioning Guy. Fetters mentioned he resigned from Fresno State.
 
I’m fine with the defensive staff coming over. Fresno gave up less PPG than UW, had almost double the TFL and had one less pick than UWs secondary. It’s not flashy but who were Kwitkowski, Choate and Lake when they got here? I’ll be more than willing to LTPO. Recruiting is the question mark and the main thing to watch closely moving forward. The DL coach is a nice get. He cucked Gregory for Herbig while at Wisconsin.
 
You know what? It’s an upgrade.

Donte, Steinhauer, and Moore would have been nice. As would one or two more coaches with P5 coaching and recruiting experience.

But I’ll take this staff over the shitstain C-squad from the last two years.
 
Not great, not terrible. No offseason natty, which is a bummer.

Inoke and Morgan are the two exciting hires. Certainly could have had more than that. The rest are fully LIPO. No obvious duds, and probably the right balance of Fresno guys and outside hires.

Fire Jen though, for fucks sake. We're spending small-time money on this staff, and unless those savings are being funneled to a car dealership and setting up an NIL slush fund for players, then this is just pathetic.

the real bummer is that Donte Williams didn't come aboard to big dick southern california four stars

I gurantee if we? Got Donte (even though I highly doubt it was actually a serious thing) then most would be praising how awesome the staff is but now its underwhelming and disappointing.
 
I’m with Race on this one…the HC is the one that matters. The same assistants that looked like a good staff under CP (at least until he checked out) looked like absolute shite under Lake. If DeBoner is good this will look like a good staff and Ill be bitching about one or two for relatively minor issues. If he sucks the entire staff will look like shite.

Leadership matters.

Exactly and exactly.

I'm disgusted with the lack of effort to win the offseason natty. I don't know if it's because Deboner just likes his guys better or if it's because the AD forced him to shop cheaply. I'm in the fire Jenn camp on that.

But...it probably doesn't matter that much. If Deboner is good he'll turn guys into good recruiters and coaches by force of will. That's the head man's job. Do it or next up.

I wanted DeBoer hired long before Lake was at any risk of getting fired, so I'd be a complete pussy to back off and turn on him now just because his staff hires don't have any sizzle and a couple may suck.

I'm way more excited about the new DL guy than I expected to be. He's on the all name team if nothing else.
 
I do feel like most of these coaches will be upgrades. Hopefully Adams and Huff will thrive in the new system. Even if some of these guys are from the MWC it would be hard to be a worse recruiter than Jon Don, Gregory, Harris, Brown, and KB.
