You are so wrong, there are many ways all of that can be handled and we wouldn’t lose any recruits or portal transfers we are interested in and where there is mutual interest. Plus a good NFL coach can bring in players we haven’t been able to attract in the recent past. The best players want into the NFL. These coaches know how to coach NFL caliber players, both the Eagles and The Tampa Bay coaches!
How could it be handled that we wouldn't lose recruits or portal transfers? You think Stoudtland could fly around the country to visit kids and convince them to keep their commitments while he's coaching the Eagles through a playoff run? Or that he's going to have time to watch two sets of game tape for recruiting? Or that just sending assistants to recruit kids that are thinking of flipping is good enough at this stage in the game?
He can get his staff to do it. Whomever that may be.
He can still coach Philly and talk and communicate with recruits for SU. He can also retain a few of the current coaches and use them as the front. Its not optimal but it could be done
I would be willing to wait if JW in fact thinks he is the guy to bring us back. One class isnt worth trading your future for.
How about sign up the kid to replace Matt park lol
If I was a highly sought after TE recruit, and an assistant came to my house to tell me I should stick with SU after other staffs sent their HC, OC, and position coach to visit me at my house, which am I more likely to choose? Does that make me feel like a priority?
People communicate through zoom technology, even interview for jobs. Times can be scheduled to bring in recruits that fit his schedule. These are just 2 things. In addition, he can appoint staff to take responsibility for aspects of recruiting and doing the legwork for his face to face or zoom meetings. Plus, recruits will naturally following him through the NFL playoffs. Think things through before you make commitments that rule a candidate in or out. If you don’t like him, then say so. You can do better than to be a negative Nelly!
Yeah and Dino in the past was recruiting less and less on the road. He made them come to him quite a bit. The next coach knows just do the opposite and they will be in good shape. You’re 100 pct right
That’s really been working out for us. Make sense for someone to keep doing what hasn’t worked.
On this topic, in the Syracuse.com article, the OL recruit Rosahac mentioned he hadn't heard from Babers since his official visit at end of September.
So you think sacrificing a full year of recruits isn’t a big deal. One can argue that is exactly our future. Thankfully us posters aren’t making real decisions on the hill.
Is there anyway to get Jeff Stoutland to do some coaching clinics/ O Line consultant in the off season, while still working for the Eagles? He doesn't seem to fit JW's stated attributes for our next coach, but why couldn't we pay him to coach up our offensive line and our OL Coach?
He is very good!
They need to bring in two guys at Dave W. I’m not saying get some all acc level guys
Yep, he’d be a great hire. Not sure he is ready to return to football, but in interviews I’ve read, he misses the ability to impact the young football players and says that football offers a unique ability in that regard.
Nothing outside of what we already know. Just that his name has been mentioned and he’s well respected.
There is not a single position coach, college or NFL, that should be named our head coach next season. Point blank period. It's not being a "negative nelly" for not wanting to torpedo our program.
