New DC Candidate Possibilities

I'm hoping it's the guy I mentioned (Brian Stewart)

Missed that. He has all the connections, Maryland and the Lions. Prior DC experience. Pretty solid if it’s him.
 
Stewart was also DC for the Houston Cougars several years back. Some recruiting connections in Texas to go with the DCA is killer. This guy would be a great hire.

Anyone figure out his story for the one season at Rice as DC? Style of D, how it went?

I’m wondering if don brown gets fired after today. Got their doors blown off against Osu and getting throttled by Florida. The fans there are getting restless. Harbaugh also may leave, in which case don brown will also be gone. I wonder if we’d have a sliver of a chance at getting him

Harbaugh may leave anyway.....stay tuned.

After multiple seasons lacking in success, Rice's head coach during Stewart's single season (2017) was fired. Given Rice's typical limited recruiting and game day success for an extended period, whether reasonable conclusions on Stewart's coaching ability in one season and the Owls' D may be dubious.
 
Was Stewart fired by Edsall after the 2014 season at Maryland.? Other then that Stewart seems like a real possibility. Stewart would certainly be a higher profile hire than Lyndon Johnson.

Jets ESPN writer Rich Cimini said they asked and Harbaugh told them he was staying at UM. Seemed like he has closed the door on leaving for the NFL. Of course that was before yesterday...

Jets are a train wreck anyway. I'd imagine he'd look at other NFL teams before looking at the Jets

Jets have a boatload of cap space and a franchise QB. It's not a bad place to land for a head coach.

I agree with the cap space. Not sure darnold is a great QB. And no coach lasts for NYJ. I just don’t sense that it’s a good system to work in for coaches. They’re one of those teams that tends to stink through the decades regardless of who’s running the ship. Of course, this is all coming from a pats fan:cool:

The Jets have been plagued by issues at the top of the pyramid from ownership down to the GM, which has resulted in some really poor use of the draft, free agent signings, lack of a team strategy/identity, lack of commitment to a given QB, etc. It has been difficult for any coach to succeed in that environment.

A lot of fingers were point at GM Tannenbaum (2006-13). They seem to be more 'stable' with Maccagnan as GM (2015 - ?); but, Bowles was his guy and no one is sure of him yet. The question for him is can he build a team around Sam Darnold, who seems to have the bones to be a QB. The pressure will be on Maccagnan and not whoever they get as a coach for the team to improve in 2019, say 9-7 or 8-8 in a week AFC East. If they don't, he's going as the jets won't risk damaging Darnold.

As for the Pats, they obviously have a good organization. That said, their success over the last 20 or so years has been helped by how poor the rest of the AFC East has been during that time. It's rare For an AFC East team to give a Brady & Co. a run (maybe that a team in the AFC East team besides the Pats has finished above .500 and had given Brady & Co. a run. I think it was just the Jets during a 3-4 year period leaving the division's overall winning percentage during the last two decades at about .420, excluding New England. Not saying they wouldn't make the playoffs; but, if the Division was a bit better and the Pats adsorbed say 2 extra losses, that could occasionally cost them home field advantage. Since 2000, the Pats have played in 12 of the 18 AFC title games and have won 8 of those. The Pats are 6-1 at home in those games; but, they are 2-3 away from Foxborough (both wins in Pittsburgh and before 2004/5). Just food for thought.

I'm not a fan of anyone in that division but Darnold showed enough (can't forget how young he is and how little talent he was surrounded with) that any head coaching candidate will look at that situation as one that has their QB of the future. That's huge.

He is going to be very good. Dan Orlovsky says great things about him. What I noticed was how much better he is now than before he was hurt. He clearly absorbed a lot of "how to play" while watching McCown and has improved. Jets have some talent on D as well.

I agree with this. As a Giants fan, I'm still ok on them passing on him. However, he has solid upside and improved as the season went on. This all occurred with players like Elijah McGuire, Herndon, and Robbie Anderson as your biggest "threats".

If they use that cap space for someone like Bell and get a good WR, they can turn it around quickly.

I hate the Jets but they are one of the most attractive openings out there.

Mostly accurate, but Bowles was not Maccagnan's guy. It was an arranged marriage. I think the only thing that saved Mac was that Bowles wasn't his decision and didn't report to him.
 
As a Jets fan, Adams and Darnold give me hope. Darnold needs help like Bell, and he will be even better. He is only 21. Adams is already a star.

The only job posting left is Asst. S&C (Closes 1/4). I'm sure this position will be filled with input from the new S&C guy. We should hear something in the next few days about who is hired to fill out the staff.

So who the hell is our DC? I am surprised a name hasn't leaked.

I'm not... somethings change and somethings stay the same when it comes to Edsall... He never let the cat of the bag early on stuff like this.. there were plenty of times we wouldn't find out stuff until the normal signing day... I hope we don't end up having to wait that long though..
 
AP - Storrs, CT.

Meh McMediocreson will be named new Defensive Coordinator at the University of Connecticut. He will reportedly make $30,000/yr. His sterling resume includes leading ITT Tech to a 2011 top 500 defense in the prestigious tech trade company football conference, creating one takeaway during his 5 year stint as DC, and running a northeast friendly 2-1-3-2-3 prevent defense.

"I'm excited to get this opportunity," McMediocreson said. "The days of UConn giving up touchdowns on the first play from scrimmage are over. My prevent defense will ensure it will take at least 2 plays. And if I have to sneak a few cones or tackling dummies on the field, I will do it."

In an unrelated item, UConn also announced the hiring of a new Tiddly Winks coach who will make a reported $5M/yr and construction on a new on-campus quidditch facility will begin immediately. Estimated cost of the quidditch facility is around $1B.

"It's important for the UConn brand to continue to fund all non-football sports at absurd levels," AD David Benedict said. "The less money we devote to football, the more often UConn Nation can enjoy iconic moments in our program like our coaching staff collapsing to the field in exhaustion and complete bewilderment after barely beating our FCS rivals."

AAC Tiddly Winks chairperson was unavailable for comment.

I give you an "A" for effort. However, you are fully responsible for all the follow-on attempts by other posters which will be truly abhorrent.

Does seem that way now... but, again, I hope I found a hit on the guy I mentioned initially in this thread... He'd make sense, but you never know now with all the coaching changes ongoing....
 
Does Randy have another son?:rolleyes:

Which would probably work out fine since Corey is the tip of the spear on recruiting.
