He was recruited to try to stick at CB with a fallback to go to S. Don Brown anyway thought he had a chance to be a CB. Seems like other coaches didn't or he would have more offers. We shall see.
lets go further with this and spit the truth. don brown was one heck of a coach. he has edsall in him, what im talking about is he knows what he wnats to do and he knows that he can develope any athlete of a certain level into what he needs. so he gets lazy or reaches on the trail to get his player smaking his life easier than competition with other big schools. he gets away with it becuase he develops the kids so u can't knock it.
but there is a problem with that way of life, coaches always move along to the next level or elsewhere. this state, school and fanbase were spolied by JC and didn't understand cf culture. this went under radar with RE for years. when he left ppl started to realize what he left behind on the roster which was a bunch of kids that needed to be developed. P has done a good job so far in that respect so i can't knock him for that. but, while everyone here was going nuts about what RE left behind, they fell asleep at what DB was doing the same thing. thats twice now we have gotten caught with this coaching style. i'll be dammed if we let that happen a 3rd time. RE learned pretty quickly down in MD that his style wasn't going to fly on the trail down there, that school and fanbase knows whats up and we all know what has happened there since with ML. up here we were to innocent, not any frucking more on my watch.
TJW has already in days proven hes not taking from no one and going after the big boys. we need a dc to do the same and i dont see it here right now. i, open to hank but i want to talk about it more in depth another time. DB reached on kids he knew he could get easy and then develope. then when he got a few he called it a day on the trail and just coached and called his buddys to figure out where he was going to hang out next year. he never had plans to stay here. we let him game the system.
he was a very good coach, but P has learned the hard way and has dragged us thru the mud in his old man learning days. he brought in 2 buddys and swore by them. 1 somewhat delivered on the trail but was brutal on the field. the other was brutal on the trail but delivered on the field. both had foots out the door but only 1 eventully got out. the other got moved by a new ad for god sakes.
p has had a long career and these past 2 years have made me investigate rope and stools(not really). i question if he really knew what he was getting into, i dont think he did becuase i think the guy who hired him had no clue himself and as result p cam ein wih the wrong ideas. now i think he gets it. hes a good guy and coach, but i can't hang on much longer. none of us can. but the main point here is DB and the sanke he was to us. ppl are quiet about it because his defense was good here. be real.
