Joe DeForest

I was able to play both football and baseball. That's where (former Yankee great) Ron Guidry was from. My roommate (Xavier Hernandez) pitched for the Astros and the Yankees. In the 1986 opener, you competed against the OSU football team. What do you ...

I don't have a problem with an Associate Head Coach who has never been a coordinator taking over as a head coach.

There is an air of neutrality that will allow his coordinators to handle their duties to the best of their ability, while he heads the overall program.

With Bustle as a former OC his fingerprint was obvious; his coordinators always seemed to be cookie cutter images of each other.

On a side note many forget that Baldwin was once an Associate Head Coach and then demoted to Defensive Coordinator then demoted to Line Coach, then demoted to position coach under Denardo.

At least DeForest seems to have a lock on the Associate Head Coach position. This tells me he is highly organized.

Honestly, I dont know who is the best candidate b/c I wont be in the interview room with Farmer when he talks to these guys. I would be happy with DeForest, Hudspeth, or Brewer. I trust scott with this decision.

You are comparing him to Baldwin...Enough said. Honestly, I do find it to be a bit of an issue that he has never truly led a program himself. I don't really care whether he's thought highly of at Oklahoma State or it shows his organization, when you have your own program to run, you are solely responsible for its progress and he hasn't had to prove his worth in that regard. I wouldn't necessarily be against the hire BUT I would be against paying him over 400k as it is rumored we are prepared to do. Taking a page out of YOUR book, I'd prefer to pay a little less and front load it with incentives.

I don't see where I compared them so much as I thought I was pointing out an obvious difference.


ps incentives is the way to go

Damn, thats disappointing. Crawfish would have been a name to attract recruits.
