Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I See That Dan Cozzetto Will Be On The Dawgman Show Today
It's no wonder Kim never criticizes any coaches. It would be refreshing if he actually admitted his agenda instead of acting like Cozzetto has legitimately done a nice job. The guy has sucked since he was let go with Snyder by ASU in the late 90's, save for 2000, when he was RB coach for the Beavs.
I don't care what the excuses/explanations are. When you are a position coach and your group has sucked four straight years, you aren't doing a good job. But keep acting like he has so you can get guests for your shitty radio show, Kim. Why don't you ask if Cozzetto showers and goes for the kitchen when he wakes up?

While Sark and Cozzetto had only Tyrone's hand-me-downs to work with, it wasn't so bad although not great because Ty didn't leave much behind on the OL after his 0-12 masterpiece. What concerned me right away was that in their first full year of recruiting, the new staff didn't go for any JC transfer help of any quality at all on the OL and that along with the DL were obviously the positions that needed the most rebuilding the quickest. Even Don James brought in some JC transfer linemen during his first couple years at UW to help rebuild Husky Football leading to the 1978 Rose Bowl, and DJ inherited some good OL talent from Jim Owens which Sark was not as fortunate to receive from Tyrone.
Cozzetto may be doing a better job with the OL than is evident from what we've seen thus far. This coming season will tell us a lot about that. No question that the OL recruiting has been imbalanced and perhaps mediocre at best leaving Sark entering his fifth season at UW relying heavily on five (of seven) RS junior OLmen from the 2010 recruiting class, none of whom have more than one year of starting experience. Unless OL performance picks up significantly in 2013, especially in pass protection blocking, I think we can conclude that Cozzetto is probably lazy, not a good evaluator or recruiter of OL talent, and probably not worth his pay whatever than may be.
Cozzetto has been around a lot in college and pro football. Is he close to the retirement golf course or fishing lake where old coaches must go eventually?
Sweet strategy bro.
As for his strategy of getting the best tackles? No shit Cozz, great insight. When has that not been the goal?
We should have an OL coach that players want to play for. He should be a guy that is a draw. Right now we have an OL coach that either: 1) does not factor into an OL's decision; or 2) is a negative on the ledger sheet.
If we have a DL coach that is a great recruiter, why can't we have an OL coach that is a great recruiter (i.e., klemm at ucla).
I listened to the interview and heard nothing earth shattering. It was a lot of the "we need to find great/athletic tackles" stuff, as mentioned above. But did you hear fetters after cozzetto hung up? He raved about what great stuff you get when cozzetto is interviewed. Really? What was new?
That said, we played much, much better with him in the lineup, so he obviously did some nice things.
