New OL Coach: Mike Schmidt from SDSU

[UD1954]

With all the disasters(wildfires) that have hit California along with covid a lot of people are looking at other parts of the country to relocate too when able...safer and less expensive. Syracuse doesn't look so bad whe compared to what California has gone though in the last couple of years...jmo...

So, when it comes to fishes and loaves on the coaching staff... we still have another hire coming to replace Lustig, right? Or was that Samuel and we're considered fully staffed and someone on staff will be named special teams coordinator*.

*Which I assume might be the worst job on the staff because you have to hang out with punters.

We are at Full pond. Just need to assign a current coach the Special Teams and a replacement for Bartow.

Footage OIG hired as a a football coach, then finding out it's for special teams.

Might split up Special Teams among several coaches

So that more coaches have to interact with the punters?

Great.

I figure ferri may take the st roll. Samuels in now wr. That leaves Ferri only coaching te.

The adjustment from the weather in San Diego to Syracuse is going to be a big challenge for him. One end of the bell curve to the other. Look what it did to Bud Poliquin.

Dare we hope for the return of whiz-bang? Whiz-bang with shades of opera? Don't toy with me, Tom. You know how emotional I can get over this. There's not enough ginger ale in the world to bring me back to normal.

I checked the experience for all the assistant coaches on staff. None have been special teams coordinators before.

Agree with your speculation on Reno. He appears to have a little less on his plate than the other coaches. Also, he has been on staff for a long time and should be aware of how we have handled special teams in the past.

I doubt one of the new coaches will get it. They will have their hands full learning the new schemes.

But who knows, maybe someone has a strong interest and a hidden background here.

It looks to me as though Dino really valued teaching ability and experience when he chose the new assistants. Both have been coaching in the same place for more than a decade and are known for their ability to develop players.

Plus, Syracuse has a climate that is a lot more comfortable for larger men

Maybe. It's more humid in the summer.

Only if you're willing to do the baking while Schmidt does the making - oh how our line (lives) will ryhme!

I saw Aztec Two-Step at Jabberwocky back in the early '70's. I LOVE an obscure reference...

Anyone check what SDSU fans are saying?
There were some interested comments about cavanaugh we completely ignored a few years back

FDA warning: moving from San Diego weather to Syracuse weather may cause sudden outbursts of words like "ramrod", "ducat" and "huzzah"

that's a bizzwhang of a post young lad

On a somewhat related note: Herb Hand has already left Charlotte to work with Malzahn at UCF.

Yeah the good ones had context and bad ones seemed more like H0T Takes.

To get the numbers on the ground they were getting they must have run a LOT at 2,9 yards/carry

They did. To be fair, the rushing numbers were better last year and especially in the years prior to 2018. They really struggled in 2018 and 2019.

Interesting take from their fans. More positive then negative. Placed poor play calling on oc because teams stacked the box knowing it was run. Did have issues with pass blocking with third and long but said could have been qb.
DB took his time with this hire so I am hopeful he will turn the line around.
