Posted: Tue Jan 12, 2016 4:53 pm
Forget that Chief, I'm really liking Mike Hunt for the DC position.

The article I read indicated he's headed back to NIU. Just left Kansas and yes, he is a former Jayhawk.chiefzona wrote:ramcat wrote:Didn't Kane return to NIU? Alma Mater?
Last year he left his alma mater Kansas to become the NIU DC and LB coach.

Good recruiter though.

Nope. Dated 4 days ago on Fox Sports, Jan. 8th 2016. Would provide link if I had a clue with new phone.

That was in Jan of 2015. A year ago.
You are correct. I had thought he was there this last season. He's low on the Totem pole. We'll see how he does this year.ramcat wrote:Nope. Dated 4 days ago on Fox Sports, Jan. 8th 2016.

Admittedly, I did not recognize any of those names... my opinion is based solely n a Google search of each of their bios.
Well said Chief, and a nice positive informative post.chiefzona wrote:Merkin wrote:Picking one at random since he has a fun name, Angus McClure has never been a DC and in his 20 years of coaching spent almost all of them on the offensive side.

Angus McClure is my top pick. He is very unorthodox because he was on the offensive side of the ball for years but he has learned the defense through offense. His work outs and rep with the UCLA DL is top notch and I could see him working well with RR. His recruiting is very good and he can camp in SoCal all day and poach kids. He has good repoire with a lot of coaches there. I also think he would be able to bring in some coaches and not clash so much with what RR wants. He has great formational knowledge on both sides of the ball.
Thanks. Kind of. He was a QB at Udub but has only coached on the defensive side of the ball as far as I know.Merkin wrote:Well said Chief, and a nice positive informative post.chiefzona wrote:Merkin wrote:Picking one at random since he has a fun name, Angus McClure has never been a DC and in his 20 years of coaching spent almost all of them on the offensive side.

Didn't Tomey have a coach that switched from offense to defense, Duane Akina?
Like what I read. Very solid results coaching and recruiting, also getting Cats back into Texas!chiefzona wrote:I also like Brian Jean-Mary Texas LB coach/recruiting coordinator. Dude can recruit. He was recruiter of the year 2014 for the Big 12.
I don't think he has aspirations to move up. I've never heard his name in connection with the ucla DC. He was essentially our version of Matty Dudek but he was too valuable to keep on campus. His connections are in NorCalchiefzona wrote:Merkin wrote:Picking one at random since he has a fun name, Angus McClure has never been a DC and in his 20 years of coaching spent almost all of them on the offensive side.

He's the recruiting coordinator/DL coach and sure he wants to move up. The only NorCal recruit he's pulling is Tagaloa. He mainly gets the SoCal guys like these guys he has recruited/recruiting: Vanderdoes, Lucier-South, Fitts, Pickett, Lee, and Moore.MrBug708 wrote:I don't think he has aspirations to move up.

That was a total disaster.

He has plenty SoCal ties just like Nor Cal. Dymond Lee is a WR he is recruiting out of Chaminade....In the valley. Why would he be recruiting a WR out of the valley this year? Marcus Moore is a DE he is recruiting out of Crespi. He also nabbed a RB, Jalen Starks out of Crespi. He is also recruiting a CB out of Calabasas by the name of Vukobradovich. He's been seen poking around Serra, Centennial, OLU.....and not just looking at DL recruits.MrBug708 wrote:Either your source is bad or your have poor googling skillschiefzona wrote:He's the recruiting coordinator/DL coach and sure he wants to move up.

We'll use the guys you mentioned
Vanderdoes - He's from Auburn, Ca. Check out a map. A hint is that it isn't in SoCal
Lucier-South - He's a DL coach, Lucier-South is a DL.
Fitts - A Mora kid. He was going to USC until they told him he couldnt come in early, so he enrolls in UCLA instead.
Pickett - Richmond, Ca kid. Any idea where that is? A hint is that it isn't in SoCal
Lee - I don't know who he is. No one on the roster is named Lee. We you thinking of Craig Lee? That was a Broussard recruitment
Moore - I don't know who he is.
All of McCLure's connections are with NorCal high schools. He's obviously made in-roads in the SoCal scene since he's coached at UCLA for a few years now, but his value is in NorCal

Now the new DC can bring in 2 guys which makes RR's job a little easier.
Dude, we have an opening at DC. That's all you need to worry about right now.
