auburn4ever 1,266 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Would love to have Kevin Greene on our defensive staff. Maybe as Co-Defensive Coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could prove why his 2* recruiting prowess is more beneficial to "team" though... thus reducing our recruiting budget/expenses in order to pay for his salary. #Statwash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted this because it was the first response to mention a new coordinator, but really it's is open question for the board..... Which would be the better move, a new TE coach or a new ST coach? WDE!

Looking at his bio, I see Greene had one of his best seasons his first year with Carolina in '96. He left for another one-year stint in SF, but came right back to the Panthers and had another outstanding season in '98. He retired after that. Player/coach relationships can be complex, sure. And I remember them getting into a dust-up on the sideline over bad calls/blown assignments, but HC Capers---who Greene later worked for in Green Bay---sided with Steele and suspended Greene. Was what happened something that can't be forgiven after nearly twenty years? WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Coach Steele already coaches the positions KG would coach, rush ends & OLBs. It just doesn't make sense to bring in KG right now even if they do get along. Also KG was interested in AU when CKS was putting his D staff together last year but apparently CKS didn't have the same interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree, by the way, it just seems like a headache trying to establish what potentially makes someone a good recruiter and what they would be worth. WDE!

But I do believe he would be the most entertaining coach we've had in my lifetime. Way more fun to watch than Trooper and the towel. I think his personality and experience in pro wrestling would trump that jackhole at uat that jumps around holding the belt. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be an up & comer IMO that won't cost much. You aren't going to get any established recruiting superstars at this point for a 10th coaching position with it coming open for 128 FBS schools at the same time, except maybe if your team name is Bama or tOSU.

I would just sign some rising star in the business who you see recruiting greatness in. Thats tough to pick out. Look at kodi I thought he would be a stud on the trail because of his age, playing for au and having a ring. So far he has struggled mightily. Just dump a lot of cash at a position coach I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trying to sell WRs to play for a HC that, to this point, barely passes the ball. I've said it before & i'll say it again. Even including I'm a huge AU fan, If I was a big time WR that had offers from all the big schools I would not have considered AU before the Chip hire even if CDC was the one recruiting me. Clemson, FSU, & Louisville would probably be my top 3 right now & I can't even stand 2 of the schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't a real need for WRs in this class. 2018 will be a need year at WR. If Chip gets a dynamic pass game going & we don't do well on NSD 2018 at WR then you have valid reason to be frustrated at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically coaches were responsible and recruited "geographic" locations and not by the position they coached. This allowed the coach to build relationships with high school coaches and with the underclassmen high school guys that they get to know. I know position coaches are brought in eventually because a recruit wants to know who would be playing for. So with all that said, who is responsible for "closing" the deal with a recruit? The "geographic area" guy or the position coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
