Not sure what to expect but I think Joseph and Whipple were slam dunks. Time will tell.

I'm excited about this one for some reason very interested in how this one will play out hopefully it will play out for the benefit of us

Please explain.  Just interested in why.

He played at Wisconsin and has a lot of experience, including NFL.  This will be very attractive for recruits.  He may sway Cam to stay because he knows exactly what it takes to play C (although Cam may move to G in NFL) at the next level.

* He also has a tie to a potential QB recruit.

Im not sure what to think about splash hires for coordinators.  Seems good coaches put coordinators in positions to be good.

I like him from a teaching/tactical standpoint.   I'm really curious how he will relate and adapt to recruiting.  He's really never had to deal with that, and he will need to go get him some dogs to teach.

Definitely don't think cam will move to G in the NFL

How well will he recruit is one concern

He had success on the field, but how will it translate to coaching?  He doesnt have much of a track record with that IMO

Was he up for other jobs or was this based on his last name  

Fully hope I'm proved wrong though

He's not super old so I think he can relate to kids.  Recruiting isn't that tough unless you have no personality.  Go talk to a kid, tell him you like his film, explain how he could be used to help the team, make small talk.  Text him every now and again to see whats up.

We are a pile of steaming crap on the OL.  I am willing to give this a shot.

This was mentioned by Matt Vrzal when he was talking about Cam staying-going.  He mentioned that he thought they could move him to G.  That was all I was going on.

You'd think but some are just gawd awful at it.  Either can't/won't text, don't take advantage of social media, and are just so gruff that they can't schmooze parents and recruits.   I'm curious how he'll do.  I think he will surprise people with his coaching skills, it's more his social/recruiting skills that are the big unknown with him.
