New DC: Rocky Long (now official)

[IthacaMatt]

that shocks me, not in a bad way of course, but still shocks me.

Might as well get in there and have a look at 'em!

 

[OburgOrange]

I must have missed the announcement that he was signed?

hasn't happened yet

 

[SUFaninNJ]

DEEEEEEP Cut!

I recommend from there traveling to Pismo Beach. I’ve heard tell that if you’re a clam lover, they have all that you could eat and more.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Hell yeah

As long as Swag Daddy is ok with this, I’m ok with it.

 

[qdawgg]

Guess I’m back to buying chips and beer to watch the bowl game. Oh well.

 

[swish7]

Niumatalolo, the former Navy HC is 57, certainly younger than Rocky Long and younger than Dino, but well older than Tony White.

Yeah, I had no idea. He looks young though.

I think he is .

 

[ArchDuke]

I think he is .

Or we got the C and S that are visiting. Either way, good news.

It would be surprising if Lonnie Rice doesn't commit at some point this weekend so he could be one of those oranges. If Nick is happy and is staying on as DC in waiting, then the world is a better place

Let’s get out of this weekend with 3 R’s. Rooks, Reed, and Rice.

4- Rocky

Dude is solid, rolling with the changes and apparently all in.

Give the guy a bump, a title, and a stretch assignment, if he wants it, or maybe he just wants to keep on keeping on.

Whatever his deal is, glad he’s here.

 

[Toga]

Great news, IMO.

We hired The Architect.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Something important to think about. If indeed Rocky Long is coaching the defense in the bowl game it could go a long way towards keeping Caleb O etc, provided they enjoy playing for him, which I assume they will.

 

[Jake]

Hmmm. Would think White used the same terminology as Rocky then. Not sure it work otherwise with the game 2 weeks away.

Didn't he already say he was staying?

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Didn't he already say he was staying?

Caleb said he’s playing in the game. Nothing about next season.

 

[Timonen]

Didn't he already say he was staying?

He said he was playing in the bowl game. I think people took that to the next level…but if he is leaving it’d be really odd to play

 

[ElwoodJBlues]

Hell yeah

Since UNM is doing nothing, this makes sense. I would bet Rocky is working on the overall strategy while Swag translates it to play calls.

 

[rocklloyd]

I was hoping they’d hire Hop.

There’s still a chance

 

[rrlbees]

Swag will be heavily involved. He knows the players and what they can and cannot do. Rocky knows the mechanics of the defense itself. Two heads are better than one.

That’s what she…..

Rusty? From National Lampoon’s Vacation? Awesome!
