Why did the athletic department spend all that money on their new linebacker coach?
Sure it's a great hire. right out of McKiney consulting.
Guy knows what he's doing. He'a a grownup. He worked his way up the ladder for years . Proved himself to be a great defensive coordinator for years and earned his way to head coach where he won multiple championships.
He is , well everything USC's shiny new defensive coordinator isn't. A coach that 10 months ago said he knew nothing about the college game. That the hash marks confused him. That he got a phone call out of the blue when utla offered him the dc job. Wasn't even looking for a new job. Didn't know how practice worked. Didn't know anything about recruiting. Said just 2 months ago that he was still learning how to call plays on defense. Said just recently that he doesn't have a scheme. I didn't make any of this stuff up.
And why would our new linebacker coach take the job? The next step in the career should be a DC at a big program if he wanted that career path.
Who will be running the defense at SC? Not calling the plays. Actually designing and running the defense, practice, depth chart. Any idea who will be the voice in Coach Puppet's headset "advising" him which defensive plays he should call? sc
I understand your confusion, so I will type this slowly
coach puppet has eight NFL years on his CV including time with the best defense in the NFL
coach champion of the northern tundra has zero
not everyone values two years at North Dakota State over two years with the Ravens
much less two years at Northern Iowa over two years with the Houston Texans
coach champion of the northern tundra thinks a Palos Verdes crash pad might be something special compared to his present situation
not to mention the possibility of coach champion of the northern tundra being front page news with LA Times and ESPN if he changes the culture at SC as expected
most people would understand this
a few not so much
