He has some cousins (I believe) that are from the NW one is a QB and one is ILB that are recruits...hmm

This chick from LA Times is reporting it - and I would believe anything she says. Damn, why don't our beat writers look like her?

From that video it looks like they played a 34 defense at SC. Interesting

Don't hold your breath

Not sure who to give the credit to, but someone in here posted a week ago that the new dc would probably be someone not discussed on this board. Good call whomever you were.

HA - I'm with you sac .... I saw nothing that knocked me over ... only unanswered questions at this point about experience and ability ... then again, I'm not the one who interviewed him and I'm certainly not qualified to conduct such interview ... it does appear by now that we are going to have to chance it and grow our own so to speak ..... but then again, I felt that way about Diaz before his first turn here

Diaz was already a defensive coordinator though at MTSU when we hired him. Definitely a risk giving a guy this young his first shot as a DC but hopefully it works out. At least he's apparently had a big part in recruiting and a lot of folks here were willing to give Orgeron the DC job essentially based off his recruiting skills.

What's his recruiting look like? Anyone have a profile of the players he's pulled?

It looks like though USC 247 does it differently than most. All of his targets are LBs. And if you look at all of their commits, they just have their one position coach listed (or Tee Martin).

Awww and I thought FootballScoop wanted to "hep" us.****

If it's not something negative on us, then it's not breaking news to the hotty toddy boys at FootballScoop.

This is my first time posting on the board. I've been reading since its inception but between work and kids don't really have the time to post. I've been a Bulldog for 51 years. Something I'm seeing that hasnt been mentioned yet. With these last 2 hires of Buckley and now Sirmon, it would appear that Dan is setting us up to recruit on a more national level. Buckley and Sirmon both have ties all over the country and I'm excited about what they bring to the table. Bit of a gamble with no DC experience but looks like it may be worth it! Enjoy reading the board and it's the only place to get reliable info on State!
