Deke Adams.
Lots of highs and lows but all in all I'm actually pretty pleased. He has been around, he's a good recruiter, and he is from me and has recruited the state a lot.

He moves around a lot. He definitely fits the bill for us!!

I'm actually good with the hire.

He recruited Pickering and some of the Oak Grove guys.

This is the reaction I'm seeing from the majority of the authoritative posters. Could you help the melting majority understand why you're good with the hire? Thanks

He has MS ties, he's coached in the SEC, & he's a good recruiter. Outside of Bo Davis I don't think there would've been a hire met with overwhelmingly support.

I'm sure he knows MS recruiting and there's nothing saying he's not a good coach.
HOWEVER, I will say that he went 3 years at SC, wasn't retained by Muschamp when he got to town, and then hasn't been able to land a good job since. Baker was thought of highly enough after 2 years at State to get retained, and highly enough after 3 to get poached by Bama. Deke was at SC for 3 years- why wasn't that enough time to show he's a good DL coach? That's my only question. He'll probably do a better job here since he knows the recruiting land better

Those MS ties May, see TBuck, keep him focus on this job vs the next great job. Unless it's a HC position.

Muschamp brought in Lance Thompson who had coached at 4 other SEC schools & was considered 1 of the best recruiters in the nation. He went from South Carolina to North Carolina not like he dropped down to Jacksonville St.
ETA: Thompson was gone from South Carolina after 3yrs too.

Pretty sure he coached at East Carolina for a year between USCe and UNC 2nd stint

Again most coaches typically aren't retained when a new staff takes over.

Outside of Bo Davis every name for DL coach was going to be a mixture of hate it or love it.

If they're thought highly of they are.
But that's just one part of my post: Why was ECU the best offer he could get? Why did it take 2 years to get an offer at a P5 school (UNC)? Why was he not retained my Mack Brown, and why was Memphis the best offer he could get till we came along? It doesn't seem like the football world thinks very highly of him. Again I'm not down on the hire per se or am I trying to say he won't be great, just that it's a concern

I'm indifferent. I think he'll fine. He did OK at South Carolina and USM and the other programs weren't in good shape and I highly doubt the DL coach was solely the reason for that at North Carolina.
If he doesn't work out we fire him next year and get someone else. It is what it is.
