New OL Coach: Mike Schmidt from SDSU

[hoopsupstate]

who gives a rats azz how it looks

That would be like our special teams coach taking our kicker, punter and returners with him to Vanderbilt.

A coach can’t just take players with them. But if the players want to go with the coach, and there’s room on the other team...

It’s like if a coach is an SU alum, gets a head coaching job in the NFL, then takes all of his assistants that he wants with him.

That ain't Frank from American Pickers.

Looks like Bo Dietl

 

[SU in Hershey]

He interestingly looks like the little brother of this guy. Extra board points for anyone who knows who this is.

Kind of the wrong board, but it looks like Mike Brey after he realizes that too much comfort food after his team's loss was maybe not such a good idea.
(Here, Mike...have a TUMs)

Didn't realize Schmidt also played OL at SDSU.

FYI SDSU already removed him from their website

What pulled up still had him listed as Oline coach.

That 2nd link I posted above was what comes up initially when you google Mike Schmidt offensive line coach on the school website. However, if you look around on their website, he's not totally removed.

His SDSU twitter also seems to no longer exist

Little concerning that there has not been an announcement.

It's Dino's strategy to conceal it from upcoming opponents. They'll never know what hit them.

Yup. If there's no tape on this guy being hired, our first opponent is totally screwed!!!

This is both funny and believable as something we would do in not announcing a coach hired in February until gw1 press conference.

 

[Millhouse]

He's offered the same Hawaiians that Dino has...

Laakea Kapoi, San Diego State Aztecs, Offensive Tackle

Laakea Kapoi is a 6-4, 305-pound Offensive Tackle from Makakilo, HI.

Jonah Savaiinaea, Arizona Wildcats, Offensive Line

Jonah Savaiinaea is a 6-3, 330-pound Offensive Guard from Honolulu, HI.

EDIT: looks like both players were offered by the SDSU TE coach, Savai'i Eselu.

I'm in favor of recruiting giant guys w way too many apostrophes and vowels e'i'e'i'o'

Thank goodness.

So we have a full staff now just in time for spring practice to start. Just need to name a special teams coordinator.

Anyone know when spring practice is starting?

Is there going to be a spring game?

Will it be open to the general public?

This stuff should be released by now. If it has, I apologize for missing it. But I have been waiting for it and haven't seen anything.

If you haven’t seen it, I’m guessing it hasn’t been seen.

I don't think SU has released any information about football activities this spring.

I don't think SU has released any information about football activities this spring.

Kind of weird given it is almost March.

I know the delayed start of the spring semester caused a rethink of the football schedule for the spring but they have to be close to starting things up by now.

Next Monday is March 1st.

 

[orangepassion]

There goes our surprise for game 1

 

[rocklloyd]

Have we figured out if we have enough players to make up a team for spring ball. How many people did they fit into that house party

 

[P Vasiloff]

Finally!!!! This hire has me excited because the offensive line is so important. Congratulations Coach Schmidt and welcome to Syracuse University Football. Now work your magic and get the offensive line functional and productive. Go Orange!!!!!!!!

Spring game crowds are always safe from a social distancing standpoint

That's true.
