Pick your favorite FB coaching hire

I would probably have a few more on the list than you, but I agree that it would not be many. I think, like in basketball, our overall talent level (as compared to the rest of the league) is not where it needs to be to compete with the upper echelon of our league. The incoming staff MUST get that up to increase our numbers in the WIN column. As always, "good coaching" begins with " good talent".

I agree that we got out coached a lot during this past season, but I don't think we are as talented as you think we are. I'd say that Bustle Out coached ASU and ULM, he coached evenly with UNT and Troy, and he got out coached against basically the rest of the schedule (and yes, I know the Ohio game was close, but our defense was terrible and horribly prepared for the game). With that said, it was hard for me to do it too, but if you take of the cajun shaded sunglasses, besides Green, is there anyone else on this offense that almost anyone else would want as a starter. Do we have a safety, defensive end, or defensive tackle that would crack anyone elses 2 deep? When I asked myself these questions, I realized just how down we were this year. We aren't at the bottom of the barrel talent wise, but I don't believe we were in the upper echelon in talent this season either.

Unfortunately the only position I think we are truly weak in on offense is QB (the most important position of offense imo) but as far as the rest of the positions I think we have great skill players.

WR Surgeant
WR James Butler
WR Lawson
RB Spikes
RB Streeter (if he is healthy for senior year)
RB Walker by the time he is a junior atleast
and depends on who develops the Offensive line in the future.

Defense is a work in progress but its like i said, what talented recruit wants to commit to a losing or mediocre program. When we begin winning we will attract the talent you are seeking. but we are not that far out of the talent window in football and we will definitely get the wins needed. I am 100% confident in saying that.....as long as we can get a Head Coach that will coach first then recruit second.

And if we go with Sewak or Monkin and the option you can write off the top three on your list.

That's 3 great receivers - I believe Butler will be our go to guy for the next 3 years. All he does is catch anything thrown around him - they just didn't throw it to him enough !!

I think that is because Bustle enjoyed glorifying his senior roster over the underclassmen even though they arent as talented.

There were multiple examples of this and the most obvious were James Butler and Darryl Surgeant stuck behind the butterfinger receivers of Rico Joseph and Marlin Miller and never getting their true chances to produce ALL YEAR.
Also the very beginning of the season when they named Julian Shankle 4th best running back on the team STARTER just because he had previous experience.

If bustle had a deep roster that consisted of all classes he would go by Seniority first then talent, which is quite ignorant, but if we get a coach that looks on sole talent and productivity and forget about the grade of the player, then we will be able to put the best players on the field.

Thats just the way that i see it atleast

A lot of people are throwing their eggs into one basket wanting Orgeron. News flash, he never was and never will be a candidate.

Not more than 5 days ago, CajunT said that he was told that Orgeron was possibly back in the mix. Whether or not that panned out or if he had an interview at all, well that's somewhat irrelevant when you talk about people having a reason to talk about Orgeron. Fact is, there was a reason for renewed interest in his name, true candidate or not.

It was also CONFIRMED that Crowton was interviewed. That turned out to be not true. Just saying that Orgeron in the mix is only internet chatter.

It was never confirmed that Crowton interviewed. It was confirmed that he would be interviewed by multiple sources as well.

My point still stands, I go by people that are better informed that you or I am for my information on the matter.
