Potential DC candidates

[DW4UCONN]

I know it's looking ahead, but I really like Van Malone. Here's a look:

Additional, from my list of 124. These all meet at least 3 years of NFL playing experience (most have many more than 3, so not exact criteria as in the job description), are all related to the D side of the ball in some from (position coach or coordinator), all meet 10yrs coaching exp. A few have an obscure connection (ex: Jimmy Williams, Grand Valley State). Just adding some fuel to the fire here, all are plausible. Sidenote, this'll be my last production of potential names. Have at it, 'yard.

Harlon Barnett, Michigan State
Ronnie Bradford, Louisiana Tech
Rubin Carter, Purdue
Tim Hauck, Nevada-Las Vegas
Tom Hayes, Kansas State
Marion Hobby, Clemson
Jim Jeffcoat, Colorado
Larry Johnson, Penn State
Brian Mitchell, West Virginia
Jackie Shipp, Arizona State
Mark Smith, Michigan
Lionel Washington, Tulane
Jimmy Williams, Alabama at Birmingham
James Willis, Louisiana-Lafayette

Van Moore is my dark horse favorite. He'd be a great hire for us.

I really hope we get Van Malone, his personality is a perfect fit with our program

Thompson is an attack style defense. So that would keep him out though his bowl game is on the 5th, so who knows.

What's good?

The amount of likes this worn-out joke continues to get on the BY would probably wither my hope in humanity if I hadn't already been exposed to the Internet.

Just curious, why the need for nfl player experience. I don't think Diaco, Narduzzi or Kirby Smart (Alabama) ever played in the NFL.

I don't think there was a need for it, I think Diaco already offered him and he accepted the position, and they tailored the job description to his resume.

Where does that come from?

 

[DW4UCONN]

The only guy on your latest list still bowling is Marion Hobby and it is not likely we can pry him away from Clemson. Also don't see any connection to Diaco. Got to think it's Van Malone.

There is a strong chance that with all state positions (the assistant coaching jobs qualify), it is required to interview all qualified applicants. The positions were very likely posted after the candidates had been determined (and also informally offered the jobs which they informally accepted) with the requirements designed to limit the number of applicants in order to save time and trouble (every fan who believes he did well enough in fantasy football or playing Madden could view himself as a candidate).

Recently he's changed it to What's going on?

This seems more in line with Des's history of investigative reporting.

I'm on board with Malone as a dark horse candidate. I'm most interested in this hire than the others so far, perhaps because I have some time invested in it. Nice little article on him:

Wow!

I want this guy solely for his character. We can never have enough people of this quality.

Whether he ends up here or not I'm making a donation to New Beginnings!

Really hope this guy is hired as DC, not only because I think it would be a great hire, but also so that I can watch certain posters (the ones I haven't already put on "ignore") conveniently disregard this post and link and blabber uninformed nonsense about how we could have done better.

Big recruiter in the mid-Atlantic states (VA, MD), if true. He's responsible for landing the #1 safety in the country for UVA:

I want poindexter, impressed with his resume

 

[noeynox]

Actually remember Poindexter from his playing days. Was he at UVA the same time as Terry Kirby? As I get closer to 40, I'm like damn, been watching CFB a long

 

[HobokenHusky]

Damn, really wanted Malone.

Me too, but this guy seems like a good hire as well, with the limited info I have:
