TheMACer Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Not really any surprises (in my mind) from these two hires. One is a fellow ND staffer and one is a long-time I-AA coach looking to move up. Still, I like the speed that the Zips are putting their staff together.http://themacdaily.com/index.php?news&nid=293 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can hire Kokinis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xu9697 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I like the hiring of Young b/c of his NFL pedigree, but ND hires on DEFENSE need to stop there. That D was putrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was just a position coach I wouldn't be so concerned. He was in charge of half of a team going through its worst stretch in program history. Might that have had something to do with poor recruiting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is 54-37 as a head coach, he went to a perenial loser (sorry they have been since coming back into existance in 1970) school to help them try and build their program up (something Miceli accomplished once before in D-III).

xu9697 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Honestly, I don't have a great understanding of the recruiting cooridnator role in college coaching. Is it like the assistant to the traveling secretary? Ianallo is known as a great recruiter...but the head coach is kind of just the guy to "seal the deal" especially with the bigger/main targets. As much as I believe I have a great understanding of the GAME of football, I have much less of an understanding of the roles of an 8 to 10 man college coaching staff. Obviously good to see guys who have had success in their hired for position (like a Latina and Mendoza), tougher to sell a guy like Micelli who has not been (at least recently) a recruiting coordinator for a FBS school. In the end, a well-rounded staff of guys with various experiences in the college and pro game seems to be a good way to go. Diversity is the spice of life!

skip-zip Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 With asst. coaches, I usually only pay attention to whether they have a good amount of knowledge and experience in relation to the position, or groups of positions that they will be coaching. If I don't see that, I tend to be a little skeptical since I think the most important thing that these people can contribute is the ability to teach players, and help them become better at performing their particular job.

g-mann17 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 GoZips.com football staff pageIt gets updated as the hires become official.Currently need, a D-line coach (Bryant Young, but until he's on there I don't count it), Defensive Backs, Receivers, D-Coordinator and an O-line coach.Maybe a waterboy :cheers:edit* can't help but notice that we are getting more press in Chicago than we are in Akron.

UA Fan Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 GoZips.com football staff pageIt gets updated as the hires become official.I'm pleasantly shocked they're updating it in practically real time. 5 GA's(?)...that will help keep the costs down. Is it good to hire unit coaches before the coordinator? I guess RI is being very selective about a DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
