Hank Hughes no longer with team

[GSG]

If Tavita does get the nod as the D-line coach, I would be all for it. He would be a young, energetic guy who can relate to the current players, and would probably be a stud recruiter.

I want another Bray/Williams -type coach. If Thompson fits that bill I'm all in.

I'm all for bringing in a guy with Hawaiian ties!

Why?

I like the Thompson idea.

If we're going outside the program, how about Chris Kiffin from Ole Miss?

Can someone who follows recruiting more closely explain how Hughes was a liability on the recruiting trail, which has been mentioned a couple times in this thread?

Just genuinely curious as this is the first I've heard of it.

Is he going to be a good fit for DONU where we don't use bag men and girls to woo recruits?

I like the idea of Chris Kiffin, but going from the D-line coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Ole Miss to just the D-line coach at NU seems like a demotion.

Those are much better than the ones I posted

I was hoping for a former Beast of a BLACKSHIRT to come coach the D-Line.. How sweet that could be for recruiting.

Give us a name(s) who would fit that description.

Of coarse i have no Idea if they can coach.. But Winstrom, Peters, to name a few. Who could sell playing D-Line and being a blackShirts better then them?

Hate to say it but that would prolly be a step back for him.....He wouldn't have the cash to throw at recruits

WOW! I guess those who said don't mistake niceness for weakness were correct. I am shocked, but pleased.

We need a great recruiter and great teacher. If that means a man in house, a former Blackshirt great (Wistrom, Carriker, etc.), or whoever... go get them Riley!

I hope it is JP just so everyone can see how full of crap and clueless the guy really is.

I agree. Coach Riley did a great job with most of the initial staff. I'm sure he'll find a good fit for where we all want our program to go. Might be a little easier to find a good fit for one position coach, too, than to fill a whole staff in a short period as he did last year.
