[huskymedic]

This guy looks like a rough and tough football coach. Might be one of my favorites in this coaching staff.

Most of these guys have been together for years. No learning curve needed. They all know how it works.

If a picture is worth anything, new strength is gonna kill it.

 

[Chin Diesel]

This is the new normal for NCAAF. You don't hire a coach, you hire an entire leadership and management team.

was hoping somehow they'd have a sweet spot for jackson mitchell and keep him around to grow him.

Wonder if staff composition will be reflective of effort to retain players from previous roster? Doesn’t bode well for retention.

He followed Mora to Colorado State

Pretty much how every does it except for Pasquoloni.

Wishing the best for Jackson Michell. Was also hoping there was a spot for him here. Jackson was a great player here and he always came across publicly as very loyal to his home state program.

Overall, I’ve been very impressed with how fast Candle put his new staff in place & the quality of their resumes. I just hope there’s some continued emphasis on recruiting in state talent and strengthening in state relationships. I think it’s very important to the fan base and the long term health of the program. Mora used to talk about it.

It’s been a decade, move on. He was not a good fit, but the non- playing aspect of cfb has changed a smidge, maybe a smidge and a half since he rolled in.

 

[B1GEast]

It's a solid staff. Really like the coordinators on both sides.

Spring can't arrive soon enough

I like this hire. Narduzzi is a defense guy and always had phenomenal defenses
