Possible WR Coach?: Lanear Sampson

[HRE Otto IV]

The OC has to be Dino or Sowder. You don't hire a Baylor O guy if you aren't going to use the Baylor O. On top of that if this guy can coach, why were our WRs so bad last year?

Nah, Mitch Browning type hired after bowl season and living out of a hotel for next season most likely, lol.

Heh.

Whoever made these offensive play flash cards was smoking doobies!!

New OC Art Briles ?

Just being silly, or am I

At this stage I'd take the devil himself as OC if it meant an effective passing game. Someone call Tom Brady and get the devil's number. Clearly they're good buds. What else can explain this guy's career run?

This hire does not give me a lot of hope for next season offensively. Our wr have been ineffective. Not sure a coach with limited coaching experience is going to make the necessary changes. I’ve liked some of the more recent coaching highers with white, Schmidt and specials coach. DB continues to seem to force a round peg into a square hole offensively.

His name is Adam Weitsman

Just kidding

What if the new OC has already consulted/approved the hire, but the OC won't be announced until after bowl he is coaching in is over?

That's my hope.

Realistic expectation tho is we don't have an OC because it will be a c-list Mitch Browning type hired after all the musical chairs stop and he'll be living out of a hotel room for one season.

I don't see why they'd wait to announce the OC until after a bowl game. A million coaches, including coordinators and head coaches of teams playing in bowl games, have already announced they were taking new jobs. Fairly confident it has nothing to do with that and more that this just seems to be Dino's MO when it comes to hires, especially Coordinators.

The man has no ties to our recruiting areas, but by golly he has an infectious and great personality.

Plus he middled around the league for a few years.

I have confidence he can do well recruiting, not sure about coaching.

Don’t forget he’s already “an expert in the passing game”

He wasn’t the WR coach?

 

[qdawgg]

The spin for this hire is already classic. Keep them coming. Paging RutgersAl for tips, although some people have become pros

 

[BrooklynCuse]

There has been no official announcement right? I’m not sure I’m ready to believe one random dudes tweet. If it was Bailey/Axe sure but who is this guy?

 

[Orangefizz]

Would definitely get rid of the "clean program" stigma.

I like it; energize the fanbase and show that SU is serious about competing. Of course, with SU not being a real player in P5 FB, it would never happen. Too bad we’re never pushing the envelope like Baylor

Briles is not going to get a job anywhere. Hiring a ethically and morally compromised person would smear the University and probably trigger a huge headache.

There are other ways to show your serious about competing without selling your soul

Looks like he took down the tweet.

It is possible that his role had nothing to do with working with our WRs. But our WRs were so bad last year it would seem irresponsible to not have him at some point work with the WRs. Dino was complaining about the WRs not getting the system back in September. If you have an asset why would you not use it?

OC and old WR coach aren’t here anymore and this guy gets promoted. I think you’re seeing exactly what you’re describing.

Hard to elevate a voice when there are people in those jobs already

He was a grad assistant at SU 4 seasons ago

Maybe jumped the gun or told he was not suppose to break the story.

If/when Thamel reports it then I will believe it

Dino saw the reaction on Syracusefan.com and withdrew his offer.

Fired the TE coach, replaced the wr coach with a low cost role with no expectations… clearly we are going full triple option wishbone. Come on, man.

Probably to quick a response to the situation to be DB.

Its most likely not going to matter.

There was no need for a TE coach since we do not use one. ST coach replaced Feri position.
