So while our coach is coaching another team, Durkin is assembling a big name staff. It may not be a big deal in the long run but there's no way the hiring process won't be delayed somewhat because of this foolhardy double schedule.
How long realistically for a staff.
- Thread starter LevaosLectures
- Start date
Mike London ex UVa HC is a helluva recruiter and SS from Cuse is an excellent D guy but relax and let HCCA do his thing at his pace...remember Durkin had a headstart....I know we fans get antsy but its a marathon not a sprint...
Man there are some seriously lousy threads running right now.
What we need is some meat on the bone....we're hungry for new's.....save the bones for Henry Jones cause Henry don't eat no meat....
My opinion would be sooner rather than later. Ash said in the presser that it was a priority; so far, he doesn't seem like the type to throw that word around haphazardly.
I'd like to see him have a co-ordinator (either side of the ball) here for this week's visits, but who knows. Regardless, I feel better with Chris Ash as a "part time" coach (for now) than when we had full time Coach Flood (part time Inspector Gadget.)

Oh no doubt but this thread is nothing more than a horribly thin veiled attack of the guy who has been in charge for not even a handful of days.
You've got a head coach who we're all excited about ... BUT, for those rushing to judgment on this issue, he's still a guy who doesn't have a ton of NJ/FLA/PA/NY-related coaching contacts. It may take longer than the actual head coaching search unless we solely want a bunch of Midwestern guys.
YES - on certain levels there needs to be some detox going on - board got addicted to all kinds of news / rumor / speculation / controversy - like it was coming out of a fire hose.
Previous staff did their work like one of those robot vacuum cleaners - slowly - retracing their steps - and bouncing off of walls ... provided near daily amusement (often maddening )
Will predict that with the new leadership - more will get done & get done much more correctly , much more intelligently ... but not as much of the inner working will be painfully on display & not as much maddening 'daily amusement.'
So ... gotta come up with lots of substantive forward thinking productive discussions / analysis of future opponents
.....or lots of Pork Roll vs Taylor Ham debates / How to cook London Broil / best version of Honda Accord to buy / Superman vs Batman ...
..... or it will be like a giant pen full of starving creatures chewing on each other.
I think we finally found our guy since GS left us wavering...hard to blame GS but the timing was terrible leaving us scrambling...I think Pat Hobbs gets it and in a few yrs we'll forget all about this period....but some here will always find something to complain about. I wouldn't mind an Acosta on staff for a local guy but a heavyweight recruiter would make me happy..Many don't like him but a Locksley would shore up the Md/Del area recruiting wise though i don't know if he's a team player as far as chemistry on staff. RE from Md might have a long wait for another HC gig in 1A IMO..
Talking about Jersey guys who can recruit, I wish there is some way he could get Hafley away from Cleveland.
