I’ve generally drank all the Kool-Aid during the last six or seven years regarding coaching hires and have been disappointed with the results. I’m underwhelmed here, so maybe that’s a good sign! GBR!

This is underwhelming to me. The last few times I have felt disappointed with most recent first 

1. Rhule offensive assistants when he was hired 

2. All of Scott Frost assistants 

3. Mike Riley

Were you born a tool or did it happen over time?

Look in the mirror.

I have the same reaction to this hire that I did when Satterfield was selected...not good.  Rhule must not want to make this an elite program. Bummer.

Satterfield and Foley still being employed is crazy. There are better coaches in the state at the high school level.

You two are so over the top.

Rhule must not love his mother or support the troops.

Obviously someone fell through or why not just announce butler originally..??

Strictly football and strictly due to lack of results in those specific departments

I'm not going to pretend I have an opinion on Butler as a DC.  I have a lot of respect for McDermott and Frazier as coaches & they chose him to coach their respected position group.  That speaks volumes in coaching.  I just want to see a more disruptive approach & stickier coverage.  

We have no choice but to hope Rhule has this right and he trusts Snow.  Whether his presence is as a 3-3-5 mentor, sounding board, or insurance policy, that has to be a positive.  

Bradden is an interesting hire.  There's a lot to like, but his background as a player was as a QB.  This occurs a lot in the NFL and it's less an issue when you spend your time coaching professionals scheme & gameplan.  Does he have the technical chops to coach technique to a very young and inexperienced room?  Because if the Blackshirts have McGuire lead caliber deficiencies in the D-Line room, nothing behind matters.

"Hey <insert stud transfer portal or HS defensive player>, want to play in the NFL?  We can get you there."

Butler - 10 years NFL coaching experience

Snow - 8 years NFL coaching experience

Bradden - 8 years NFL coaching experience

When you put to paper like this, I like these hires. Since CFB is essentially the NFL now, the ability to build long term relationships is not required

That was my thought initially, but does the university still have that silly rule that even football coordinator positions must be posted publicly for a period of time before they’re filled? Maybe that explains it and it was always going to be Butler.  They just had to go through the formal process.
