Yeah, it's worrisome no one is a notable recruiter. Our roster needs talent and Arizona doesn't recruit itself.

Hunley and Cecil are both great Cats, and are household names to older Arizona fans. But this means nothing to kids, especially those who don't live in Tucson, where the majority of our recruits come from. Hunley is 59 and has been out of coaching for 5 years. Cecil didn't light up the League as a D-coordinator, and neither guy seems to be turning down too many coaching offers from either college or the pros.

I don't mind hiring alums, but where a person went to school should be very far down the list of qualifications. If these guys aren't alum, would we be excited about a guy who hasn't coached in 5 years and another who was working as a consultant and hasn't recruited anyone in forever?

Both are in their mid to late 50's and have been out of football for a couple of years until Cecil was hired as a non coach.

Yeah I like the UofA connections, but that is it. Would rather have Cason on staff than either of these guys. Obviously Salavea would've been preferred over Brown as a D Coordinator/AHC option too but I guess not enough money or interest there. We need recruiters, period. I hope they have recruiting connections but I seriously doubt it. That is my problem with the hires as of now.

Ucla has had some awful offensive lines over the years with horrible coaches and he was probably the worst. And an even worse recruiter, but I think we were his first college job so he probably had no idea what he was doing. But if he's the guy at OL, Jedd's Rolodex might be smaller than I thought

How does a guy become an Offensive line coach in the league if he is terrible? I get the recruiting part but I would think you are hired in the league because you can coach

Fraley has a long playing history, I'm sure that helps. The Lions are sort of a dumpster fire under Patricia, so I'm not sure it's fair to judge him too much based off recent performance.

He was hired as an assistant offensive line coach at Detroit, post UCLA, before he was promoted this year, Im assuming because Patricia was on a hot seat and he was easier to promote then fine someone. Or maybe he was just well liked? Or maybe better in the NFL?

As much as we want to believe that coaching is a merit based thing, it's frequently not. We just hired a guy who took a former NFL MVP and got him to throw 5 TDs vs 10 interceptions this year.

I love the ringing endorsement. Jeeze, this staff is already looking like a massive dumpster fire just waiting for the ember to get it going. Or maybe I am wrong and all of these old timers are well in tuned with the young fellas of today.

You guys bitch about everything. You have no idea of their recruiting ability. Walk into a db recruits room and throw down the cover of Sports Illustrated that say's "too tough for the NFL" and you will get at least in the door. Mention that you are in the college football hall of fame and ears will perk up. These are going to be the guys that coach them also. Tough and nastiness are required. That is how you become successful with lower level recruits which you feel is all we will get.

No shit man. Like we have done so damn well with non alumni hires. One thing I want is coaches that really want to be here. These guys do and I bet their heart will be into it more than most. That counts for a lot in my book.

Look, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but Cecil has been on staff since 2018 and our recruiting rankings have been 61st, 56th and 59th since he's been here.

If he can roll in and use his SI cover, it sure hasn't worked like that so far. Hunley...if he could kill it on the recruiting trail, why has no one hired him since 2015.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask why neither of them has demonstrated high level recruiting. Maybe they can do the job, but I don't think you can say it's any kind of sure thing because they've never done it before.

Recruiting is about relationships.

It would be a good move to bring in guys who have those relationships and can turn them into commits.

Or we can hire a bunch of guys who need to start from scratch and are bringing 30+ year old copies of Athlon’s with them to introduce themselves to 17 year olds.

AzCatFan2 · Post by **AzCatFan2** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 7:26 pm

I'll ask again, if Hunley and Cecil weren't alumni, would anyone be thrilled about hiring a 59-year old who hasn't coached at any level in 5 years, and a 56-year old whose only college experience is as a consultant, and really has never done any recruiting in his career? Sure, Cecil can plop down a SI Cover from a decade before any of the recruits have been born, but how much weight does that really carry? What were Cecil's results as a coach? What players vouch for his ability and say they became better because they had Cecil on the sidelines? Same question about Hunley.

I'm not against hiring alumni, but fans often get too excited thinking the success these guys had on the field will automatically translate to their coaching ability, and players will magically play just like their coaches. It does happen, but more often than not, alumni are not successful coaching at the school they graduated from. Scott Frost won a National Championship at Nebraska as a player. As a coach, in three years, he's 12-20. And at least Frost's success at UCF gave him a resume worthy of consideration to be a head coach at a school like Nebraska. Hunley and Cecil? It's not like schools or the NFL are beating down their respective doors.

Felt like Fisch needed to put together a great staff to have a chance, two alumni that no one else wanted on their staff ain't it. These also feel like forced hires because the initial hire of Fisch was so screwed up. In the end no one will care if alumni are on his staff after he loses his first game.

These hires are stupid not because these men are incapable of coaching and motivating players, it’s stupid because the connections to recruit effectively aren’t there and they’re hires to make up solely for Robbins forcing the issue and forcing Jedd Fisch on this university, so to atone for it we have to hire two alums who wouldn’t get a job anywhere else in the country at this level.

News flash: Our program is a giant smoking crater dug during many years of hiring coaches with no love for the community town and program, just a pay check. Were lucky that we have Alumni willing, out of love, to try to come back to try to save this shit hole program.

As far as coaches no other program wanted? Yeah, we are the program no other coaches want.

Or we could have hired Brennan or Niumatalolo who both have effective staffs that could have come with them. Half the issue with this is driven by hiring a HC with no current staff to draw on.

I don't think it's hating on Cecil or Hunley to be apprehensive that Fisch's crack staff is an analyst and a guy out of coaching since 2015. I get liking alums, but this feels so much like Robbins and Fisch using the alum factor as cover for a dearth of actual proven recruiters and coaches.
