Re: ECU
Bret Bielema! lol.. At least he's coaching like a D2 coach! Wait, I shouldn't insult some of our great coaches! Which by the way, its going to be a hard vote for coach of the year this year!! I mean, could be said HU coach for turning his team from a 0-3 start to 8-3, others would say ATU, for nobody believing they'd be a 8-3 team! Others would obviously vote for OBU bc of the GAC championship, but my honest vote would be HU, because a 1st year coach could have thrown in the towel, but perservered! Nothing against you Fred, because you guys definitely are in the race, but its hard to argue against the 0-3 to 8-3 finish! Coach of the year is more than a championship! But still good luck saturday tigers!Originally posted by Finishempty Fred View Post -
Re: ECU
I'd love for it to be Knight, but I think it has to be Harding coach.
At one point I was thinking the SNU coach, but they faltered down the stretch.Comment

Re: ECU
Yes, Harding didn't pack it up. Much respect even though I genuinely don't like em.Originally posted by bandguy11 View PostComment

Re: ECU
Ada Evening News has published an article confirming that Al Johnson will be the next ECU head coach.

On the surface it looks like a great hire and someone who will bring good energy to the program.Comment

Re: ECU
I could not be happier or more excited. Brought it a younger guy that has a pretty good resume, has absolutely no ties to the university or state for that matter, and someone that will bring their own culture to the program that already has somewhat of a solid foundation. Great day to be Tiger!Comment

Re: ECU
Are y'all comfortable with a GA O-line coach stepping into your head coaching role? I get that this is D2, but still, that's a massive, massive jump.Comment

Re: ECU
There is no doubt that this is a gutsy hire, no doubt at all. However, to me the risk is not whether he knows his football, but how he will handle the team/administrative things. Also, don't let the title of GA fool you. He has coordinator experience, and also has an amazing playing career under his belt.Originally posted by ReddieMade View Post
This guy is a brand new face at ECU, and he will completely flip the culture there. This admin did the same thing with Coach Havens and the basketball team, and they have been at the top of the conference for two years straight. This is very excited for ECU.Comment

Re: ECU
I certainly think the learning curve is going to be on dealing with the administrative side of things, as he has ample football experience at the highest level.
It is kind of apples to oranges but Wisconsin's DC is Jim Leonard and is only in his 2nd year of coaching and has been very successful. The NFL career should translate well to the coaching side. As a player we all have the coaches and coaching styles that we like and dislike, as well as schemes and decision making.Comment
