That last sentence may be true, but I disagree, I think it's a problem for us.

He's not all that young. Graduated Baylor in 1998, so assuming he was 21 then makes him 44 now.

I like Hazelton and Bateman would be ok. But I know nothing about the other two. Im pretty disappointed if this is the list. We have more money than we have ever had to get a legit LEGIT staff and probably the biggest DC hire that I can ever remember this is the list. Kinda bummed here. Go get a proven dawg to run the defense make somebody say no. Im hoping this has already happened and I dont mean it being just Newberry either.
Im praying for Hazelton I know he could do it
This hand wringing is laughable. No one had even heard of Newberry until 5 or so days ago and now folks are acting like we just missed out on a cant miss DC.
The rest? It’s McBath and one other guy. And the other guy (Phelps) has been a Power 5 DL coach for nine years. He’s got a good resume.
I don’t think it’s fair to evaluate the staff as a whole until it’s finished, but I don’t have a problem with either of the WSU guys he is bringing so far. Don’t think either or those guys are bad coaches at all. Now I would feel differently if the last two hires are both WSU guys, but that seems really unlikely.
The # 1 thing that I've been concerned with is the S&C Department. THAT will make the difference in what we are gonna see in 2020. The most important transition is afoot. Lets all be glad.
So if you are throwing $1m at someone who would you throw it at?
Hazleton, Bateman, someone else?
Yeah I agree. I was really hoping that Leach would understand you can't just outscore people in the SEC. Especially not at MS state. I'm pretty concerned at this point that he's doesn't seem to be putting a lot of stock in defense and recruiting, which doesn't set up well for success. Ive lost my erection after the Leach hire.
The one that knows how to scheme against the passing game.
Football has changed over the past 5 years or so. There are many famous DCs that simply wouldn't be all that effective against today's offenses as their defenses were designed to stop the run.
You definitely have to control the running game, but I'd love for Bama & LSU to shorten the game & run on us.
