You realize that Coach Loeffler was interviewed by Coach sabbin after Coach Applewhite left. I'm just saying.

Great. He still wasn't successful in the NFL.

I have no idea how good this guy can be, but he's the opposite of the "spark" everybody thought he was going to be.

Why wait for a guy from Temple? Who knows?

But it's going to be very easy to negatively recruit against him over the next few days. It's apparent that unless Chizik already has quiet commitments from our top targets, we can expect to see them go elsewhere.

And Token's right. If Chizik, Loeffler, or anyone else tries to pitch his NFL experience to recruits, they'll be laughed out of the room.

So, is being a "who the fuck is that" hire, and coaching Marc Bulger and Gus Ferotte to an 11-23 record over 2 years something you think gets kids excited about going to turd town? Or maybe it was Pussmeier's 4-8 record at Wash. St. that wows recruits.

Jim McElweenie was the QB coach for the 2006 Oakland Raiders. They went 2-14, but then again, that's not 0-16 is it?

Just sayin'.

The simple point being made is, you said the guy was successful at coaching QBs while he coached in the NFL.

Nobody is saying the guy is guaranteed to suck ass because of how things went with Detroit. The only point that Token and THS are making is that is a fail statement that you made, because his only year in the NFL, the team that he coached QBs for did not win a single game.

Well, as someone who has eaten his hat on more than one occurrence, I'm content to wait and see on both these hires.

I don't feel bad or good about them. They are both "fine" in my opinion.

Damn JR. You make it hard to side with you even against Token or even RWS (I can't believe I just typed that)...

Not that my opinion really matters, but I think the DC hire was solid. I think the timing of the OC hire makes it a little bit of a headscratcher, but I wouldn't get too caught up with names. Hopefully with this behind AU, you guys can pull in some recruits. Signing day is in 9 days, and you guys have like 10 slots to fill. Unless Chizik has alot of silent commits in hand (which I'm sure he has at least a few), that shit could get ugly quick.

He was not worthy of Lorde Sabinz extended attention and thus had to come to the cow college.

Pure gold right here.

I said he's been successful coaching in his collective career which includes both NFL and college you goat fucker. And FWIW even bringing up "his record" as a position coach is fucking stupid. But, I predicted just that type of idiotic bullshit before the hire was even made.

Not to defend JR but yall are grasping at straws a bit. He was QB coach at Detroit not the Head Coach or even an OC. See what other coordinators can do with Dan Orlovsky and aging Daunte Culpepper.

QB Dan Orlovsky GS-7 143 for 255, 1,616 yards, 8 td, 8 int, & 7 rushes for 29 yards and 0 td
QB Daunte Culpepper GS-5 60 for 115, 786 yards, 4 td, 6 int, & 12 rushes for 25 yards and 1 td

Just to give an example, Christian Ponder who started in 10 games (and whom I though played pretty well for the Vikings) was 158 for 291 1,853 yards 13 tds 13 int.

as for Culpepper, even Lord Sabinz himself could do nothing with him.
