I cant believe some of you really want this guy as DC

[defiantdog]

Would be a horrible hire

[sandjunky]

It would be disastrous

[Dawgbite]

I want him as a recruiting coordinator and if I have to call him a DC, so be it. Appearantly 18 yr old freaks of nature have no problem understanding him.

[Coach007]

I have no issue with him. Being a hc is nothing like being a dc. He was over his head as a hc.

[Mjoelner34]

Wouldn't bother me but I'd rather have this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clancy_Pendergast

Literally nobody else will hire him as DC- but we should??? Would be like hiring Crooms as HC- we were the only one stupid enough to do it

He'd be over his head as a DC as well. He's a position coach, and he's a good position coach. He's good at motivating, not organizing. I understand we want a good recruiter to come to State, but we need a good coordinator first.

Clancy would be a good hire. I've put his name out last year as well.

[Mjoelner34]

That's who I wanted last year too. It appears that now USCw is hot on him though.

[dawgclub99]

I don't get the whole recruiting aspect of Orgeron. He recruited well to Miami, USC and LSU. My dog could recruit well there. If you look at his classes at UNM, they were not that great. Most of his better signees didn't even make it to campus. You are going to take a DL coach who has never been a true DC and make him DC of an SEC school? Thanks but no thanks.

I think it would be an awful hire .

[Really Clark?]

Yeah I think they will as well.

[HoopsDawg]

Heck yes I want him. He has been the head coach at OM and USC. He has been on the defensive side the rest of his career. He can handle the coordinator job. We will only have him for 1 year anyway so he can teach Mullen how recruiting is supposed to work.

[Bothrops]

Ole Miss would support this hire, is that not reason enough.

[deltadawg99]

Lance Thompson or Tommy Thigpen

What part of a massive failing as a head coach at UNM, a job that he didn't call plays for himself, qualifies him to play call now? He is still a viable candidate as a possible HC at a smaller school because of the intern success at USCw. But being a HC in no way, shape or form has a bearing on him being able to coordinate. He has been passed over multiple multiple times. If he wants to be DC, go to a small school and prove you can first. LSU had the spot open last and this year. They didn't want him but we should?

Getting passed over at LSU shouldn't disqualify him from being hired at MSU. He knows this State. He has great ties in LA which is another key recruiting territory for us. He has coached with great coaches. We are going to run the same schemes we always have under Mullen so that's not an issue. We have other guys on staff like David turner who will help. He is a workaholic and not satisfied as a position coach. I say give it a shot, unless there is some home run hire out there which I don't think there is. There was so much turnover this year a lot of good coaches have already been scooped up.

Actually getting passed over at Miami, Syracuse, Nicholls ST, USCw with Carroll and USCw with Kiffin and LSU absolutely disqualifies him for his first play calling job in the SEC. You are siting recruiting in most of that post and it's irrelavant to being able to coordinate the defense. Knowing a scheme is not the same as calling a game.

[GreenheadDawg]

Then who do you suggest? Because it's not like he's coming to be the damn recruiting coordinator

Then make him D line coach when Turner leaves to USC.

Lance Thompson.

No doubt good recruiter

Tucker

No particular order

Good names. Would love to bring 2 of the 3. Co-DC or something. Although we could bring Allen and Buckley as well as more traditional hire.

Weren't you preaching/requesting Coach O when Diaz was hired?

[HoopsDawg]

Then make him D line coach when Turner leaves to USC.

O isn't leaving LSU as the d-line coach to be our D-line coach.

[Coach34]

Weren't you preaching/requesting Coach O when Diaz was hired?

I remember saying Mullen had talked to him and even possibly offered him the job- I can't recall if I was an advocate or
not. That has nothing to do with right now.

In actuality it would have nothing to do with it anything. I vaguely remember you preaching his praises then....No biggie

[Johnson85]

I have no issue with him. Being a hc is nothing like being a dc. He was over his head as a hc.

He's actually better suited to be a head coach, it'd just have to be at a school that can afford a good oc and good dc. But those type schools have their choices of coaches that can do it all.

[NCDawg]

Stupid video. What should concern all State fans right now is Ole Miss is 5th and State is 50th in the recruiting rankings. I suppose we can be satisfied with that and continue to "coach up" our 2 and 3 star recruits. Wonder what Ron Cooper is doing nowadays? Maybe we could hire him again.

[Cabo32]

Preachermatt said its already a done deal.....

[32 Dive]

Ed Orgeron would be good, as a Verizon engineer. But as a DC, not so much...

1. That video is fantastic
2. We are not 50th in recruiting- we are 43rd with some big fish coming
3. We had 5 draft picks last year and will have 6 this April- thats 11 in two years. Only 1 of those 11 was higher than 3 stars. We are also in the top half of the SEC in draft picks the last 5 years. We obviously have talent.

The SEC is a LOS league. We are losing at the LOS with our OL. We have to get better there.

Andbyet they are killing us on the feild. We need a crooter

[Coach34]

Andbyet they are killing us on the feild. We need a crooter

they only "killed us" because our OL couldnt protect our QB and we couldnt run.

We had the All-SEC QB
We had 2 of the 4 All-SEC WR's
We have 4 draft picks on defense this year alone after 3 last year

We havent had 1 draft pick on the OL that Mullen has recruited. There is your answer to the problem

[turkish]

I can't believe this whole board has been talking about impending doom for UOM for their recruiting improprieties since CJ Johnson was in HS, and now the whole board wants us to enhance our Network and be more like them, all the while saying UOM is still deserving of NCAA sanctions. It's like a weird dream.

It really is as simple as fixing the OL and sustaining our progress elsewhere.

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

Literally nobody else will hire him as DC- but we should??? Would be like hiring Crooms as HC- we were the only one stupid enough to do it

I understand your point, and don't totally disagree with it, but nobody would hire Bruce Arians as a head coach until he had to take over for for Pagano. Just because no one has ever hired him as a DC doesn't automatically mean he will do a bad job.

well Arians failed miserably in his 1st stint as a HC at Temple. O has never been a DC period

In a perfect world I prefer we not cheat. I hate cheating in anything, it sucks.
However, if the NCAA isn't enforcing the rules does doing some of these underhanded things still get deemed as cheating??
I don't know the answer but I can assure you that if we sit idle then we will be left in the dust.

[I seen it dawg]

O isn't leaving LSU as the d-line coach to be our D-line coach.

Exactly

[dawgoneyall]

If the NCAA doesn't condemn/punish one school for improprieties then those improprieties then become the standard.
