New OC/QB Coach: Sterlin Gilbert

[Rocco]

P5 Coordinator >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FCS Head Coach

It's not even that. The pay is probably similar or even better as a P5 coordinator, but it's a control thing. You go from basically being the team president to a division manager. Football coaches love control.

So where is the official announcement from Syracuse.

fwiw, Andrea Adelson says she was able to confirm it.

Hopefully the Official announcement is coming very very soon as we all Dino doesn’t like leaks.

 

[Cuse12]

The simple fact of having a former QB on the coaching staff is so relieving.

Ok call any good QB still out there and tell them we have a real QB coach now

The guy that broke the news is the beat writer for McNeese st.

I would like to hear what some of the coaches on here think about this hire. I did not get a chance to watch any Mcneese st games, what kind of offense do they run? And for anyone in the know, how was Gilbert at UT? What recruiting success has he had?

Im on record regarding Lynch and Martin. So glad Dino had the Ohanas.

Yeah. The leak came from that end of the deal - not ours.

 

[Toga]

McNeese State has a beat writer?

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

McNeese State has a beat writer?

Nothing else going on in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

 

[qdawgg]

McNeese State has a beat writer?

Yes, he also covers the classifieds and sets the Dear abby page.

I'm a tailgate coach at a power conference and these are great hires!

The Lake Charles Beat Writer said Sterlin liked to recruit TX and LA near NOLA. He didn't recruit SW LA which didn't endear him with the McNeese Crowd.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'll feel better when this is officially announced, but I think this is a big move.

During his two seasons at USF under then head coach Charlie Strong, Gilbert led the Bulls' offense to a top 25 ranking in eight statistical categories in his first season. They included sixth in total offense (513.0 ypg), eighth in rushing (264.1 ypg) and 10th in scoring (38.3 ppg). South Florida went 10-2 that year including a win over Texas Tech in the Birmingham Bowl. At Texas, Gilbert's offense finished 16th nationally and second in the Big-12.

Prior to his stints at Texas and South Florida, Gilbert led Tulsa's offensive attack. Tulsa finished 13th in the nation in total offense and 11th in passing offense. They averaged over 37 points per game (21st in the country) that season. As the leader of the offense under Dino Babers at Bowling Green and Eastern Illinois, they had some of the best offenses at their level.

It was reported that Sterlin didn't like doing the booster glad handing thing. It might be because he is rather young and most McNeese Boosters are probably oil and gas and agriculture good ole boys.
