How about World Wide Wes, he helped make John Calipari appear to be an elite coach.
Re: Cornerbacks Coach/Lead Recruiter Search
Scott White? Is this just a random name?!?
Courtney Viney would be a good hire. I'm surprised nobody has snatched him up with an assistant coach job yet.

Most Federal and State positions usually have a period of time that a position has to be posted. Don't think RR will make your Dec 12 ASAP deadline.Chicat wrote:Figure we should chat here instead of cluttering the recruiting thread.
So RR has to replace Williams ASAP. Who can he conceivably get?
If we can hire Tony White this week that has to be considered a home run.
I don't know what the minimum period of time is for the State of Arizona?
At my Federal job, if its a short period of time, we say that they already knew who they wanted to hire.
Anybody know what the minimum time period a job has to be posted?

Re: Cornerbacks Coach/Lead Recruiter Search
I don't think we ought to make TX an emphasis over CA. TX has its rightful place as a source for talent but you are competing against 5 Big 5 Texas schools not to mention the OK schools that source much of their talent from TX. Compared to CA which has a much higher population(approx. 38 MM compared to 26MM in TX) and only 4 Big 5 schools. There is probably a higher % of kids that play FB in TX but they all seem to want to play in TX.

Re: Cornerbacks Coach/Lead Recruiter Search
He has a couple of options though. If Strong gets USF, he might go there. He knows nothing about west coast recruiting or SoCal. He'd be a position upgrade but a recruiting downgrade.

Is Cordera just a long-running joke? He cannot actually be a real person attempting to comment on UA sports, right? Maybe an ASU fan that has been trolling this board for the past couple of years? Nothing he says ever makes a damn bit of sense. I am not even sure that he watches games or understands sports in the slightest. He reminds me of those commercials where people comment on something that is totally out of their realm and then they say, "Well, I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."cordera89 wrote:I said no to him because I don't think he has the potential.

"I don't think he has the potential." What in the actual fuck does that mean? And what exactly are you basing that on? Certainly not on the fact that the guy was named the BIG12 recruiter of the year last year or considered to be one of the top recruiters in the country by ESPN.
Didn't mean to derail the thread, but Cordera is making these boards insufferable lately.

I think you do know what I mean because your not using your brain. What do I mean that he doesn't have the potential. Well if you read article and ask yourself? If hired, Can he come in too Arizona knowing the situation that RR is in, Don't care about a Muti year contract, just go out, recruit the kids, get these kids to sign with Arizona.
You can insult me all you want, I don't care, I still be on here writing my own comment. You can like it or not I will still cheer for Arizona Football.

He'd be a position upgrade but a recruiting downgrade. He doesn't know West Coast recruiting and has zero relationships and zero pull with recruits that he is recruiting and in the west coast area. Donte would run circles around him. He is a better positional coach than Donte but he is a worse recruiter in the west coast than Donte. Take that for what it's worth.

Re: Cornerbacks Coach/Lead Recruiter Search
Then buy a new pair.... people in Austin were not exactly thrilled with Strong's recruiting. His last 2 classes looked pretty good on paper, in part because he signed a ton of guys. This year their class had 7 SEVUN commitments and was ranked 71st - and it is highly unlikely they were finishing strong even if he stayed.whatisee wrote:The recruiting director for the Texas Longhorns would be a downgrade for Arizona!

ANYONE can recruit at Texas... and he did not do better than (or arguably as well as) historical standards.
I think we have established that RR is not a very good recruiter... he had 2 top 10 classes at Michigan.
Re: Cornerbacks Coach/Lead Recruiter Search
Strong's problem in part was recruiting, but he had a lot of players to replace. If i remember he kicked at least 10 guys off the team his first couple months. As far as this yer is concerned I'm sure the kids in Texas could smell a change coming so they went elsewhere. He shouldn't have kicked out so many dudes. He might still have his job.Harvey Specter wrote:Then buy a new pair.... people in Austin were not exactly thrilled with Strong's recruiting.

I am scratching my head why we are paying our HC the 3rd or 4th highest salary in the conference if he cannot recruit very well or win conference games. Hmmm... after firing a guy who had no previous HC experience, was paid significantly less, and was more effective on both fronts.
And FWIW, Stoops would have had a South Div championship had they existed while he was here. 2? seasons before he was canned.

Re: Cornerbacks Coach/Lead Recruiter Search
So, we were better off under Stoops? He won 41 games in 7+ years and RR has won 36 in 5.
I'm not happy with where the season ended, but it's better than the good ole days you are pining for.
BTW, RR isn't one of the top paid coaches in the conference, he's paid $2.2 million by the U and $1.2 by private sources. Placing him solidly in the middle of total compensation and at the bottom for what he actually costs the U.

Re: Cornerbacks Coach/Lead Recruiter Search
It's not better via the evidence that Harvey has presented many times. Stupid never played 3 cup cakes a year, he had more draftee's, he had more all conference guys, he had a better pac 12 conference record without playing a woeful CU team 4 times.
Given the choice between Stoops or RR, I would take Stoops back in a heartbeat

Re: Cornerbacks Coach/Lead Recruiter Search
You keep giving him credit for playing from the ladies' tees if you must. And please do not insinuate that what RR inherited was anywhere close to the mess that Stoops walked into. The Stoops era was not the "good ol' days". But on a relative basis, his collective performance was better than his successor's - which shows how shitty things are.wyo-cat wrote:So, we were better off under Stoops? He won 41 games in 7+ years and RR has won 36 in 5.
I'm not happy with where the season ended, but it's better than the good ole days you are pining for.
BTW, RR isn't one of the top paid coaches in the conference, he's paid $2.2 million by the U and $1.2 by private sources. Placing him solidly in the middle of total compensation and at the bottom for what he actually costs the U.
Facts:
1. RR will need to go 5-4 in P12 play next year to have a better career conference winning % than Stoops. Wow.
2. RR's claim to fame is a South Division Championship; Stoops would have had one had the 2 divisions existed in 2009.
3. I do not give any credit for annual wins against NAU, So Car State, or even the thrilling come-from-behind home victory against Grambling State in 2016.***
***Some others obviously do - which to me is about like paying a PGA Tour player earnings for beating his amaterur playing partners in a Pro-Am. BRAVO!
I find it comical that RR had the chutzpah to deride the quality of talent in the program when he arrived. You know what they say about pointing a finger at somebody... you end up with 3 pointing back at yourself.
In 2014 or 2015, RR was the 3rd or 4th highest paid coach in the P-12, but I just looked and you are correct - he is not anymore. He is now #9 - which makes me feel better... although that does not factor in the platinum retention bonus he is getting.

The most important nugget of info I gleaned from that tweet is that Chief knows something before the rest of us do.BearDown89 wrote: Well, spit it out Chief....
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
