Your original post said he was at Baylor for one year before going to Georgia which was not true.
Please don't put Swag Daddy and McFkit in the same post
Brown has already recruited some of the best portal talent, the 4 & 5 stars, out of HS recruiting for Georgia - which Chesney didn't recruiting for Holy Cross. So Brown already has preexisting relationships with many of the best players in the country - Chesney doesn't.
Fran and Mike are two different people.
I had to type the name rutgers quick enough before I vomited.
Fair enough. Too many posts flying around for me to keep track.
every hc wasn’t a hc until he was a hc.
We don’t have to be but if we can land the next big thing this way, why not?
Because we are the equivalent of FCS at P4 level
Because not many people want a retread who has gotten fired for any number of reasons, and we don’t pay enough (or at least so far haven’t) to “steal” another teams successful HC away from his currently successful program and convince him to fix our currently broken one.
Locksley has evolved to the point where Maryland plays competitively in one of the toughest divisions in football, but he’ll never win that division. Financially they and Rutgers were (and RU still is) financial basket cases.
Exactly. Now he will have the resources (Limited as they may be) to attract the better talent. You don’t hire someone because they can maybe bring in SEC back up transfers. I don’t care who you are you’re not bringing high end established SEC talent. The only hire that would some what excite me out of the 5 people we interviewed that are still attainable is Chesney.
I don't know where some of these posters get there information!
You have to admit that Brown is intriguing for the recruiting side because he has relationships with all the schools in FL & GA we'd want to target and is a NE guy with strong ties to NJ. Portal or not that does carry some value.
I think the problem that most of us are having is that none of these candidates excite any of us because, that WOW factor is just not there...especially considering the depths to which our program has sunk, and the predictable exodus of current players and possibly some recruits.
Head coaches aren’t the ones doing the heavy lifting in recruiting though. Brown has barely been a coordinator at this level. Being a high level recruiter does not equal great game planner or in game coach. More than anything that is what we need. I’ll take a guy like Marrone every single day of the week over someone who hasn’t even established themselves as a coordinator.
Brown, Chesney...isn't this the same as Faith...without seeing? The only thing missing, is Close your eyes...LOL...
Are you familiar with the phrase...catching lightning in a bottle? That is what we need here...we need to get lucky, hire a guy, with some intangibles , and maybe, just maybe, he just kills it and exceeds all of our expectations.
Honestly at this point i really don’t care about the current players or recruits. There are very few worth keeping. We need a HC that can build a program, provide a whole new level of discipline, game plan, and make adjustments on the fly on game day. Hiring someone who has 1 year as a co-defensive coordinator isn’t it no matter how great of a recruiter he is. Assistant coaches do most of the heavy lifting with recruiting and the HC is mostly the closer. I’d want my HC concentrating on other things than mainly recruiting. Honestly, I doubt it would improve that much anyways. We’re never going to out recruit programs for blue chips, but we can hire someone who can identify talent and develop it. Patriot league or not at least Chesney checks those boxes with the candidates we are stuck with. The last thing we need is a HC learning on the fly when the most important years of this program are ahead of us. We stay the same course we are definitely being left out once the musical chairs come to an end. We only have so much time to turn this program around for a chance to not be an after thought once the conference shake up is complete.
Those kids aren’t coming here. We will get the ones that go to the SEC and find out they can’t play at that level.
