DC Anthony Poindexter

[Huskyforlife]

Let's welcome our new DC! Sounds like another great recruiter

 

[Huskyforlife]

Virginia got the n.1 rated safety in this class

 

[Jerry27]

just saw this on Twitter from the UConnBlog that links to a UVA message boared but has it been confirmed anywhere by anyone or is it just another rumor?

 

[scotty0330]

If it made it to the Boneyard it must be true.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Pretty sure it's true. Doesn't sound like smoke

 

[formerlurker]

If it made it to the Boneyard it must be true.

Medic posted it on the DC thread 10 minutes before this one was created. I'll bet it's true.

 

[Huskyforlife]

And if it's not true I'll just delete the thread. No harm done

 

[Limbo Land]

I am very happy with this staff. Again as I said these are not big name guys but guys who are going to work hard, have something to prove and hungry for success.

 

[J187Money]

I thought the OP was making fun of someone.

 

[CTPride]

Any other info on this guy?

 

[Carl Spackler]

Ha! My first thought was similar - actually I thought about the New York Dolls - see if you can make that connection.

I'm disappointed in the amount of time it's taking to produce a real link here though.

Any other info on this guy?

Go to the potential DC candidates thread. More info being thrown around over there.

This hire pretty much assures Diaco will be the DC with Poindexter learning and teaching.

Why do you say that?

 

[sportsart]

Why do you say that?

I'm thinking that way because Poindexter has only been a safeties coach on the defensive side of the ball. With Diaco's background I can't see this guy coming in and running the defense.

Can you imagine Poindexter designing a defense for the first time with Diaco as HC?

Yes. But I know him better than you do.

I've read two articles about him vs. just one for you.

 

[huskymedic]

Tough to keep up posting on parallel threads but...

Same person who broke the Poindexter to UConn rumor is now saying DL Coach Vince Brown is also coming!

More intel going on in DC Coordinator thread.

Do you want the threads merged?

 

[sportsart]

Not sure what you're getting at.

 

[huskymedic]

Do you want the threads merged?

Nah - Thx... Just look in both places for now.

I don't think it's that far fetched. It could be that Poindexter is ready to take that next step forward as a coach.

So you think a recent Broyles Award winner as a DC would hire an inexperienced DC (no experience as DC) and hand him the keys? If he does that then I would have some serious concerns.

I would guess it would be hard to find an experienced DC to come in and work for Diaco. Diaco has a plan for defense, I'm sure, and he just needs someone who is bright, can be taught, and can teach.

 

[CTMike]

I don't think you are trying to minimize the guy, but saying he's "just" been a safeties coach doesn't mean he isn't ready to be a DC. Diaco thinks he is. And they will no doubt work closely to execute Diaco's vision- definitely not a turn the keys over situation.

Certainly not trying to minimize him. If Diaco was a former award winning OC then I would expect the DC hire would be much more experienced. Like you said...they will no doubt work closely and not a turn the keys over situation.

Art, you have to get your first shot somewhere, though maybe you are onto something and in year one Diaco takes a more active role in coordinating/play calling. Try not to be an energy vampire on this one will ya? Just kidding.
