Bobby Acosta new TE coach...

[javadoc]

love the hire. great connections in the area we need them. these are the type of up and coming guys i like to target. would rather have a young energetic coach like this then some recycled veteran.

Well, disregard my earlier comments about Shafer's hiring strategy.

 

[tep624]

Like the fact that he was a high school coach in Jersey too.

Great hire I must say

(I'm staying away from the basketball board for the time being.)

This looks like a really great hire.
I wonder if there's any connection to somebody already on the staff?
Does a head coach cold-call potential hires?

He actually sounds a lot like a young George Mcdonald to me

As I said before... They knew Rob was out before NSD. He was starting the interview process early.

So Shafer was a dope 2 days ago and smart today?

Shafer was smart enough to announce the OL coach first, and this guy second.

He knows us better than we know ourselves, hardnosed son of a b!tch that he is.

 

[Zcuse]

Wait a second! He was a defensive backs coach in his early career at Rowan University, then switched to WRs coach/offensive coordinator? According to many posters on the Adams hire, that is a near impossible switch! Lol

Seriously, great hire, and happy for the NJ recruiting background... In SS we trust!

 

[Rocco]

Exactly what the doctor ordered. Great fill. Should have an immediate impact on NJ/PA/DC recruiting.

Perfect hire. Wouldn't change a thing. Let's do this, Jerz.

The other hire was a very curious selection. What is it you don't understand about that?

 

[MassOrange]

Where are you JerseyOrange?

Would love to get his take...

 

[RMH44]

According to whom?

I'll throw in with HCSS on this one since I'm sure he knows far more about Adam than you do.

Not really...they might have been just covering their a$$...they might have know Rob was interviewing but the job offer might not have been tendered yet.

That could be true as well. Would Rob really have been made to interview though?

Either way, my point was pointless and a mere self-back-pat, aka worthless!

 

[Zcuse]

Really? Who said that?

I was not being literal on the quote. Let's just be happy in this string. It's such a great 'Cuse night #ennis

 

[Czar]

I hate this, because I'm a Montclair State alum.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

This guy looks like a straight up hired gun for recruiting. Which is great.

Adam will recruiting the Midwest hard, I don't get too worried about position coaches. People were worked up about so many position coaches some work some don't. I like the staff, it looks like there was a real commitment from GMC and Lester to find guys they know they can work with, Joe Adam is part of the CMU mafia.

I'm all in, one thing I don't get worked up about anymore is the hiring of position coaches as if I have any idea how good these guys actually are at their jobs of coaching and recruiting.

 

[SmilinBob]

In Shaf I trust. The guy has done a pretty good job of acquiring quality coaches and this looks like another one.

Saw MacDonald and Acosta at the SU-Clemson game on Sunday. They were in the next section, 106 for the first half and moved to 107 for the second.
