Are you serious Clark?   You can’t figure it out

No..I think I'm with ya here. Just checking...

I just hope this guy will turn our O-Line into biters. We need a little meanness and we need to be able to get away with holding like every other team we play against.

To be fair we hired Van Gorder the day of the NCG. And look how that turned out. 

 

[gravejd 3,267]

I like this hire. Welcome coach Bicknell!

[AUsince72 11,084]

I believe he was BC's Center in the '82 Tangerine Bowl against Auburn.

....there's your Auburn connection.

Did he seriously say he wanted to? 🎅🤶

That was his goal from 14-17. He wanted to be a “ceo-like” coach.

In 2019 he landed 7 offensive linemen and he mostly landed OTs. In 2018 he landed 1, in 2017 I think he landed 4. But keep in mind Matt Luke was also a olinemen so he probably helped big time with landing the recruits.

I’m hoping Broderick Jones likes this hire

[Sizzle 3,909]

I don’t think anybody predicted this and most wanted an out of the box hire that wasn’t a “Gus guy” right?

[japantiger 4,051]

Hhhhmmmm,  so he had 6 or 7 jobs in 8 years across LaTech, BC and the 4 NFL teams?  and then, due to his prowess, he goes from the NFL to the perinneal College O-line powerhouse;  Ole Miss?  WTF????

 

"Moving to Louisiana Tech, he coached the offensive line before taking over the head coaching duties for the Bulldogs. His 43 wins are still the third-most in school history.

From there he went back to Boston College where he coached the offensive line for two seasons before moving to the NFL. Over the next six seasons Bicknell Jr. coached with the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins before moving back to the college ranks at Ole Miss."

How many years till we bring JB back?  (joke)

Savior complex?

[japantiger 4,051]

Someone please post something that indicates this guy is an OLine or recruiting savant in spite of his resume...otherwise, this just looks like another half assed coach making a half assed hire of a half assed Oline coach.

[gr82b4au 5,568]

Come on everyone. As bad as our OL and recruiting has been lately, let’s give him a chance before we hammer him or Gus.

I believe the guy is a good o line coach given the fact that Matt Luke had faith in him. However, it is Malzahns offense, so what difference does it make? When I hear Gus say he's giving Morris control of the offense, and going to be a CEO I'll have some Ray of hope. Until then Meh.

So a half assed journey-man ex head coach now OLine coach recommends half assed journey-man Oline coach; and that's ok?  This looks like a typical Gus Offensive hire (double entendre intented).

So you're pissed about Chad making JB retire?  I don't get it.
