Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Kind of Mid-Term Assistant Coach Grades
A lot of water is wet stuff and kind of not fair since we're only 4 games in and so far we've played a down BSU, a shitty Indian team, The ISU Puppy Loves, and an Arizona team with my neighbors high school kid as QB, but I'd like to get your take:
Offense
OC/Wide Receiver: Kiesau A-
I think this is actually an understated and great off season move. Kiesau had a good rep as as WR coach. I'm seeing great routes, great hands, and big time blocking.
TE: Paopao C-
Decent blocking but non-existent otherwise. Realize a function of play calling but alarmed they've been a non-factor.
OL/Run Game: Cozetto B-/C+
Was going to grade lower but we are improved and have the best rusher in the nation. KP actually has time to throw. However the holding calls are atrocious.
Defense
Coordinator: Wilcox A-
Solid esp with lack of depth upfront.
DL: Tipou B-
Shelton is looking like a first round run stuffer. Concerned about lack of development of key recruits. Graded him up for landing Predator.
Linebackers: Sirmon. A
2 reasons for the high grade. Development of Timu/Princeton Tiger and discipline in assignments. Solid. Predator is a God
DB: Hayward: A
Complete stud. If I had a womb I'd have his children.
ST: Nansen. B+
This went from a huge liability to a solid unit. No complaints.
Enough doogin' Where do I need to DIAF?

I think Kiesau is a good WR coach. The Cal WRs were pretty good under him and our WRs seem drastically improved. I suspect his role as an OC is pretty much non-existent but as a position coach I'd give him an A.

Is it is fault ASJ is out of shape? If so then fail... otherwise whatever... I didn't even know we had a TE coach.

I think our offense is geared towards masking our OL deficiencies. Evaluating the OL is probably my biggest weakness as armchair coach though and things are improved... I will reserve judgement until we give up a dozen sacks in the next two weeks

Yup
DL: Tipou B-

I admit I am concerned and surprised. Cal's DL was always top notch. With Shelton you'd think we could have a second DT look good by association but no... B- is maybe fair... maybe high... I could see B- to D+ range... I am beginning to wonder if Tosh is better at coaching up DEs than DTs...

Oh yeah
DB: Hayward: A

See above
ST: Nansen. B+

I am not sure what he really does. I think everyone has a hand in ST but I guess he must deserve some credit for this...
Tui A
Keith Price is the best player on the field. 'Nuff said about that.
Course he could bare pickle my gal and give her the herp and I'd still give him an A cuz he's well, Tui.
Its a shame the previous DL recruiting was so bad. Imagine if they got Scott Chricton and DeAndre Coleman. It would be a top 10 D this season.
