Sadly, I remember exactly where I was when he decommited. I need a better hobby....
Up and coming coordinators
- Thread starter vkj91
- Start date
Tyler Matakevich wouldn't have been nearly the player at RU that he is at Temple now because he wouldn't have gotten more than a year of decent coaching. That's true of most of these good players at other schools that everybody wishes RU had gotten. Hell, most of the good players that are here now aren't anywhere close to realizing their potential.
This is where people who are so anti flood lose the argument. First, he wouldn't be a 4 year starter at RU. Second, we've had some damn good LB play the last few years....was it luck? Third, I repeat your anti stand blinds your honestly
Carty isn't someone I'd hire as a HC, maybe an OC like vkj91 said. Even Chip Kelly took the reins of an OC role for 1 years at Oregon. It can be questionable putting a HC from the lower levels as a HC at the P5, let alone a coordinator from that level.
I wouldn't hire Sanford yet either. He's only been an OC for 2 years, not long enough for me. Both those years came under offensive coaches too in Bryan Harsin at Boise and Brian Kelly at ND. I'm not even sure does he or Kelly call plays at ND.

Funny....I don't think you're that unusual....i'd been following our recruiting long before people like Mel Kiper turned it into an industry. 1st team All State OT Ron Johnstone from Kearny chooses Maine over us in the early to mid 70s.heck we were pretty damn good then...many friends from Belleville thought I was nuts caring about the ''minutia'' in their eyes but i always understood the importance of RECRUITING...it always pizzed me off that then how much our local kids seemed to lack state pride unlike other lesser states...thats why when we'd get kids like Albert Smith,Tyronne Stowe,Brian Sheridan and Ray Lucas i had ton's of respect for them loyal young men.....were the real fans and have no need to ''get a life''....we have one in NJ.....Rutgers just happens to be at the center of it.
Oklahoma State OC Mike Yurcich. He is from Ohio and has coached at several DII schools in PA (Shippensburg and Edinboro) so he is familiar with recruiting in the northeast. He is an alumni of California of PA so he not a threat to leave for go back there. He a QB guru as his QB at Ship won the DII equivalent of the Heisman trophy and had all American QB at Edinboro who signed a free agent contract with Jacksonville.
Who did Minnesota just hire?
Who will Illinois hire?
Your expectations of "we are in the B1G now" don't jive with reality.
Plus 1. never ceases to amaze me how people can spend so much time on these boards and are still oblivious to what happens in the rest of the country.
Intriguing name because he's from Pa but I think he'd be a huge leap. It always concerns me when a guy comes from a system that has been able to plug and play with coordinators. You have to believe Gundy's fingerprints are all over their game plan each week. Could definitely see him getting some MAC interviews though. Curious to find out how Gundy discovered him all the way out in Oklahoma.
As well as being oblivious the the amount of money RU has / is willing to spend on a coaching staff.
Our last hire was an O line coach from a group of 5 school. I think a coordinator from a power 5 could be successful.
I would agree with you if he hadn't put up huge numbers at Ship. His offense there was averaging 529.2 yards per game and 46.9 pts per game. I think this is more of a situation where his system fit Mike Gundy's system.
The best NJ players don't even play for the high school in their hometown, they commute to a parochial with a better team. Why do people believe some kind of "family" pride in NJ, or ties to other recruits they know, will get them to RU over a more successful school?
Only two things will improve NJ recruiting. Winning, or the belief that we will win soon. None of these kids watching us get blown out thinks we are close.
Shack's point was the last coordinator RU hired was Schiano. But you could make a case against a coordinator since the one before that was Terry Shea.
Mike Stoops, not up and coming but has experience that maybe he's learned from and is from Ohio and has a brand name that kids recognize. Coaches the best defense in the Big 12.
Eddie Gran. Great recruiter and his offenses at Cincy put up lots of points/yards.
Vance Bedford, DC at Texas.
Already named that I agree with: Sanford, Montgomery
