Remaining Staff additions

Over the past few years, I would say Ohio State has had the best WR’s in college football. I have no idea who their WR coach is, and I think it’s fair to say that 99% of college football fans don’t know who their WR coach is.

Brian Hartline.  And I think he is the only non-Nebraska WR coach I know off the top of my head.

And I’m not sure how great of a “coach” he is, but he can recruit like crazy.

 
At this point, I'm just going to let Rhule do his thing. We've tried the hand-picked successor in Frank Solich - didn't work out. We tried the NFL guy in Bill Callahan - didn't work out. We tried the hot shot coordinator in Pelini - worked OK for a while. We tried the old .500 coach in Mike Riley - didn't work out. We tried the Prodigal Son in Scott Frost - didn't work out.

This.  

So.  Much.  This.

People like to act like "if we would just do this" or "there's no way that could work".  But we've tried about every combination of how to go about things.  There isn't a magic bullet.  There's no "right" way to do it.  If there was, everyone would be doing it the same way.

You just have to get the right combination and fit.

That's why I was saying I'm kinda over the idea of dream hires at this point. Like you look at Texas A&M. They hired away a head coach who had won a national championship at his then-current school, brought in the highest-rated recruiting class ever, and yet they completely s#!t the bed last season. You can do everything right on paper and still end up losing.

Remember we had that DB coach a few years back that did not let his DB's turn their head back to the ball?

Wilhite was largely in charge of in-state recruiting and HS coach relations. We've been rather iffy there in recent years, so...

I will say this..."Experience" is sometimes over-rated.

College position coaches are mainly asked to communicate what the OC wants to do on offense to each of the position groups. That’s their main job, and it most of their job. Yes, there are position drills, but those don’t vary a lot from team to team.

Sooo…..we have gone from “we drastically need great assistants here because we haven’t developed talent like we should…..to…..”well, anyone can coach any position as long as they can communicate the play”

I know jack $h!t about coaching football, and I'll go ahead and trust Rhule's process until it works or it fails, but if the posts quoted above is our current mindset, and if it is not such a problem to hire inexperienced 20-year olds to coach a position they have never played or coached before, why was it so important to have such a large salary pool for the assistants?
