Section210Zip Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 from his time with Airforce. https://goairforcefalcons.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/nick-toth/129 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Per his UCF bio... Prior to his single season in Colorado Springs, Toth spent five years at Fresno State, the first four as defensive coordinator while also coaching inside linebackers. His defense earned 17 All-Mountain West selections and one 2012 unanimous All-American in safety Phillip Thomas. Thomas was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award, won the CFPA Defensive Back Trophy and was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year after leading the nation with eight interceptions. After having only nine turnovers gained in 2011, the year before Toth’s hiring, Fresno State came back in 2012 and recorded the greatest turnover turnaround in the Football Bowl Subdivision since the turn of the century. Finishing with 35 takeaways in 2012 (ranking fifth in the FBS), the Bulldogs’ differential in turnovers gained in one season under Toth was plus-26. His 2013 defense ranked sixth in the FBS with more than three sacks per game and 40 for the season and also ranked fourth with 8.2 tackles for loss per game. Over the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Fresno State and Stanford were the only schools in the country that ranked in the top 10 in sacks both years. WOW. Toth joined Oregon's staff to reunite with their DC, Tim DeRuyter. Could be this be what the defense looks like? DeRuyter’s 2-4-5 defense emphasizes using defensive ends and outside linebackers in more of a hybrid role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With as few big DL we have had the past couple years maybe the 2-4-5 would work but hoping we can get in some DL who can play soon! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Google... The 2-4-5 is ultimately a defense of specialization as the main pass-rushers are going to be the two stand-up edge rushers. The defense deploys them on the edge because that's the easiest way to utilize a pure pass-rusher and they aren't asked to do a great deal other than control the edge and provide pressure. I like the sound of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94zipgrad Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I wouldn’t put much into the defensive numbers. That defense will be a 4 man front with 2 linebackers. There is one safety slash linebacker that can be flexible or like you hear in lower levels a monster back if needed in the box or a DB if needed in a nickel package. So it can be just about any defense depending on the package that is needed but it does need a couple good DT’s to give you the flexibility it needs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some big DL and some guys that can cover and we half way there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 What's up at Oregon? They have a new head coach and OC. They have landed Auburn QB for next year. Free JoeMo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandgold Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I agree. I'm hoping that with the signing of Bo Nix at Oregon, maybe Moorhead can sway one of the other Oregon QB's to follow him here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money saved on not hiring an OC will be spent getting high quality assistants for other positions. Coach Joe Moe said he’s in the process of hiring a OC.Joe Moe mentioned it on GT’s podcast.

bigjim Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I have another request of the honorable B&G. B&G does such a great job of keeping track of recruits that have committed and coaches that have agreed to come to the University of Akron, I was hoping that he could start a similar post (or make a list on page 1 of this post) of the assistant coaches that have agreed to join JoeMo at our beloved University. A simple suggestion on a layout would be: OC - OL coach - J Rod RB coach - etc. (list of offensive coaches) DC - Toth DL coach - Delattiboudre LB coach - etc. (list of defensive coaches) Spectial Teams Coor - etc. If it is possible to make this list and keep it updated, Thank you. If not, Thank you and Happy Zipyear!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is those clowns who run the Pulitzer and the Nobel don't have such high standards so you still might win one of them. Edited January 1, 2022 by Zipmeister .

Thank you very much. I have missed most of these hirings, and they did not show up in my searches. My takeaways are as follows: 1. Look at the experience and knowledge. This group should be fantastic at recruiting with the experience and contacts. I am looking for a great close and many transfers and recruits when the late signing period occurs. This is not DIII John Carroll (Sorry Arth). 2. I did a google search, and several places said you can have 10 assistant coaches at FBS schools. Akron is currently at 9. You can have up to 4 grad assistants and Quality Control and Strength coaches. So, there will only be one more assistant, probably an OC that does not call plays. Thanks again. This information has got me so pumped. Happy Zipyear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
