LB/Co-DC candidates?

[blacklistedbully]

How about<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; ">Ron Vanderlinden of Penn State? He is looking, and has been considered a HC candidate at other places. Probably not a long-term solution, but might a Co-DC title motivate him to leave his current job as Penn State LB coach?</span>

Sounds good to me. Sure would impress some recruits.

Unless he's also the DC.

ETA: simple logic being he's probably a quality coach that may be frustrated being at a school that's likely topped out, thus a potential target.

I would call Randy Shannon 1st. He was a great DC at Miami and he coached LBs before that. He has big time Florida connections obviously. He would get us in some new doors for sure.

 

[ckDOG]

You are a very positive person.

 

[blacklistedbully]

He was a grad assistant at Bowling Green at the same time Mullen was QB coach there. Again, would probably have to make him a Co-DC, but just maybe that, the fact that he is a Meyer holdover, won't be looking at DC there, and knows Mullen could make it possible.

Current LB coach and recruiting coordinator at Stanford. He might be looking for a job soon. Interestingly enough, one of his recruiting territories is Mississippi. It seems as though there have been a handful of Mississippi kids getting Stanford offers over the past few years.

Bert Favre

 

[shsdawg]

a long shot but it wouldn't hurt a thing to make the call. If he laughs and says no then so what? You call someone else. If he says yes that that would be a NICE addition to the staff.

I also suggested Tony Tademy at TCU. Texas recruiting connections and always good defenses at TCU/Patterson disciple.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

LB Coach at TCU. Has done a very good job at TCU for 5+ years. From somewhere in Arkansas. Played college ball at La Tech. Could open recruitin' doors to talent in central and east Texas as well as NW Louisiana. I would be shocked if we couldn't pay him better than TCU does.

 

[blacklistedbully]

TCU has deep, deep, deep pockets. We could not beat them if it came down to cash.

 

[AzzurriDawg4]

Wilson could maybe convince him to come in as Co-DC and coach the D-line and Wilson takes over the LB. That would be sweet.

 

[AzzurriDawg4]

But I agree, TCU is loaded.

If anyone knows how to shut down an offense, it's him.

 

[Todd4State]

at Alabama for the Bear. He produced Derrick Thomas and Corneilious Bennett while he was there. That shows how good those two were- they could overcome his coaching.

Hey, it's not like we haven't hired head coaches that we've fired back again before- see Felker.

A Rocky Felker "Top Dawg" poster that shows him climbing into an F-16

what that has to do with the topic of this thread I know not.
