this may be one of those "co-coordinator" deals. i hope.
So a rookie HC and a rookie DC
For our "Top 20 program"
This is spectacularly underwhelming if true.
Another former OM Guy. Weird hire.
First time HC and first time DC's typically work out****
And most posters on this board thought we were too good for Geoff Collins or Randy Shannon lol
Prior to his time in Oxford, Hutzler spent one season in Texas in 2020 as the co-defensive coordinator. His defense ranked in the top No. 9 in the FBS in fourth down conversion defense (.333) and Longhorn junior Joseph Ossai earned consensus All-America honors under Hutzler's guidance. Ossai ranked No. 14 in the country with 16 tackles for loss while registering 55 total stops and led the Big 12 in forced fumbles with three.
Nominated for Broyles award in ?17
My cousin said he would run through a brick wall for this guy.
I'm calling it now. We hired a position coach and named him the DC to make A&M think we are no longer after Durkin. Now, they will fire him, and we will pounce.
Because...it can't be true that we just hired a DC with no lead DC experience.
Instead of freaking out why don't we just excercise a little patience. Lebby wants to win and I doubt he's gonna hire and idiot as dc. Jmho but y'all carry on lol
Well we don?t know if he?s an idiot or not DC because he?s never been a DC
Lol, I guess it's just not in me to panic until it's time. Also I learned a long time ago to only be concerned with only what I can control and this is certainly not in my ability to control. I mean why can't folks give it a chance? He may suck or he maybe the next Saban, time will tell. Get somebody to extinguish your hair or you'll look like Joe Pesci in home alone when Kevin burned his head with a blow torch lol
Im not panicking as much after reading some B on him. Read he is a hell of a coach who some say he will be a future HC one day.
We are Miss State:
Keenum handcuffed another AD and told him to go the Coordinator Route meaning he had to put together his entire staff. So what does he do. The prudent thing by keeping several good ole boy locals and hire fresh supposed up and comers.
9 times out of 10, when you hire a sitting coach, he brings his entire staff with him.
So we have to give Lebby and his staff a chance to build a cohesive unit. Next year is a 4-8 year but maybe the offense will be fun and we will pay more in ticket and BC donations to see 42-34 losses and 35-28 wins! This hire is a long-haul hire. Lumps are coming by the truckloads until they get the players that can handle their assignments.
Keenum didnt handcuff the AD
This was a name I heard a few days ago as possibly being the hire. I had assumed it was for STC and Co DC. Also still would not be totally surprised if Matt Barnes at Memphis was not given the Co DC title when he is hired.
Entire staff is pretty underwhelming so far. This is why I was hoping we could go with an actual HC. Cignetti took the Indiana job, so we obviously could have pulled him. It seems Chadwell was interested, and I get the feeling Selmon was just dialed in on Lebby. Who knows. This is what we got, so all we can do is hope for the best. But this is like deja vu from last year all over again. I'll withhold final judgment until I see something on the field anyway.
None of us know jack shit if this or anyone is a good hire
Don't really know who he is. Don't really care that he doesn't have a track record. Put together a solid defense come September and I don't care if you were coaching Pop Warner before you got hired.
Interesting hire, thought he may be a ST coordinator. He is a very good coach but understandably questions on hiring someone with so little experience calling a defense.
Durkin was axed as an option.
Will Hutzler coach in the playoffs?
