Who wants to bet we pick up a couple of track stars who have FCS scholarships right now?

LOL. A shot putter or two. Maybe go the Darius route and find some undersized small high school QBs who can't throw the ball.

Make Locksley to OC happen... would definitely be a huge upgrade from any OC we've had since the Skip Holtz era...

However, one issue. Did Edsall actually work well with Locksley? IIRC Locksley was forced on him by the Maryland AD... If that's the case then there may not be a fit here.

You do realize that both Ambrose and Moorehead couldn't run their offenses when they were OC under Edsall right? What Ambrose has run at Towson and what Moorehead ran at Akron, Fordham, and now PSU is NOT what they ran at UConn! Never mind the fact he man still doesn't know how to come up with a scheme to defend the spread!

Let's hope Edsall learned a trick or two on his 6 yr hiatus... Get an OC in here that he can give the keys to...

Absolutely love Erik Campbell... nice track record developing WRs... Jury's still out on him.. Gotta keep him...
Can Poindexter adjust his defensive philosophy to NOT be as passive as it has been? Then yes. If not, Buh-bye
Expand ...

I could see maybe Campbell being retained....Poindexter too, after that I think its 100% bye-bye. Especially for the DB coach and anyone on offense not named Campbell.

Locksley's strength was in recruiting from Maryland/DC/Virginia region. Not sure about his on-field skills. But his ability to get kids to come to program was supposed to be extraordinary.

WTF...Campbell did a great job with Noel and is most definitely responsible for Hergy's improvement.

yeah what happened to the others, no thanks, new staff, clean everyone out the Diablo tree...

I also hope he's learned about hiring a DC who can defend the spread and let's him do his thing. My memories are very vivid of Rich Rod making him his b**ch game after game. And with 90% of the teams in this league running the spread hang on if he is the same old Randy.

I hope RE doesn't just rehire as much of his old staff as possible. I think it's time to start fresh both in faces and coaching philosophies. Get some new energy in here. I'd be good with bringing back Whooley in some capacity as a position coach. He's young and been around Moorhead and his system for the past 5-6 years now. Another guy I'd like to see brought in would be the DL coach at Columbia, Darin Edwards. He's a CT guy, played his HS ball in state, coached both HS and college in state, played college ball down south in Alabama at Miles College (while it's not Florida it's still a FB hotbed). Also, played in Arena League. He was also on Moorhead's staff at Fordham and from his resume' every stop he's been his guys have been highly successful and seem to set some sort of school records or rank in top 25 nationally in team O/D. Also, I've had the opportunity to hear him speak at a few clinics and he was very knowledgeable and passionate about the game.

At least you are consistent over time:;)

I wouldn't mind us hiring the DL, OLB coach from Sacred Heart, Darin Edwards. He's a local guy, played his HS ball in state, coached both HS and college in state, played college ball down south in Alabama (while it's not Florida it's still a FB hotbed). Also, I've had the opportunity to hear him speak at a few clinics and he seemed knowledgeable and passionate about the game.

Medic-
You're correct. I thought we should've hired him back then and didn't. So why not now? Like most everyone else, I'm tired of a stale on field product, and looking to infuse some energy into the program with good young coaches with strong local ties to the state. And besides Whooley, who everyone has already made their case for, I'm throwing Edwards name into the fold as someone I feel would do a lot in righting this ship.
 
I'm all for Campbell to stay as WR coach... I don't think he was an issue at all.. More of an asset...

BUT we gotta get the OC/DC thing cleared up first, closely followed by Special Teams before we get all the other stuff addressed

Great movie, IMO... "Autobots! Roll out!"

But the reason I liked this is because it signals that Edsall has a core staff ready to go. That part of it is great news...

My guess is that the idea of this plan started months ago, and HCRE has been formulating his plan for a few months. I bet that the key cogs in the future coaching staff were lined up even before the Diaco news broke.

Wow... that spun my head... could this have been in the works for a while, meaning more than 2 weeks?

Like all good ADs who keep an active short list tucked away, I'm sure Randy had an active short list.

The whole crew needs to hit the streets IMO. This a rebuild from ground up. Not a single phase of the game is exceptionally note worthy... maybe special teams punt coverage from repetitive in game practice.

Agreed. Send em all packing. One exception would be josh Reardon, as he has recruited the Chicago area well (I think he covers Chicago, may be wrong)
