It's 25 percent evaluation, it's 50 percent recruiting and another 25 percent coaching," Smart said. "But if you don't recruit guys, you don't have a chance. Just go look at the best teams out there. They've got good football players.
Who fits this description amongst available coaches?
Bob Stoops and Tom Herman are the best recruiters available and also ready to start after the AC.
Ed Orgeron will be available very soon....an amazing recruiter but is best as a DL position coach.
Matt Campbell has upped his recruiting at Iowa State this year (currently ranked #27 on 247) and some of the best recruits to every pop to Iowa State have come under him over the past few years.
Wilcox actually had a good recruiting class last year (28th in the nation and #3 in the Pac-12).
And as for Moore, sure, hire as him as OC. But head coach? Fuck no.
Im retarded but you’re truly a different kind of retarded for this take.
What proof is there Moore will be a good HC? It would be rolling the dice on a coordinator who’s had a couple good years as an OC in the NFL. Nothing he’s done says he will be a good head coach. Let him cut his teeth somewhere else. If I’m a different kind of retard for wanting a proven, experienced winner of a head coach instead of another learn-it-on-the-job special, I’ll gladly change my name to Corky and well, life goes on.
This is 2003 all over again, and if UW can’t learn from that experience, then we deserve the fire that’s coming.
Herman, 46, might be the most attractive candidate currently without a head-coaching job. He's considered an offensive innovator and excellent recruiter. He set all sorts of offensive records at Iowa State, to the point that Urban Meyer brought him to Ohio State as his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
He stayed at Ohio State for three seasons, most notably helping the Buckeyes win their last national championship in 2014 while using two backup quarterbacks when injuries struck and being named the country's top assistant coach.
That earned Herman the head-coaching job at Houston, where he went 13-1 and 9-3, which brought him to Texas. He went 7-6, 10-4, 8-5 and 7-3, winning all four bowl games — and the Longhorns got rid of him. He's now an offensive analyst for the Chicago Bears.
They won’t hire Herman. Too much off the field baggage. He was Zack Smith’s boy before they had a falling out. He was the guy giving McMurphy the intel on Urban Meyer and Zack Smith. Ohio State went into Texas and got Garrett Wilson so Herman went scorched earth on Ohio State.
Gotta love the Buckeyes. They just don't give a shit about anything but winning
Tressel gets fired for violations so they hire Urban Meyer. Fuck it.
I had forgotten about the whole Smith Herman drama
Most of the country looks at tOSU as a rogue program that runs the university and they don't care. They just come in and take your 5 stars and sleep with your women
UW gets uncomfortable at winning too much. I don't see that changing. It has very little to do with "wokeness" or politics. It has a lot to do with the reserved Scandinavian roots and a sincere belief that the school itself is a superior academic institution that is above all that
Our bad luck I guess
Scandinavian Ohioans
Numerous Ohioans are descended from Scandinavian ancestors. Scandinavians include people from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Today, Scandinavian Ohioans continue to enhance Ohio's cultural and social landscape.
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, millions of immigrants migrated to the United States of America, hoping to live the American Dream. Before the American Civil War, most immigrants arrived in the United States from Great Britain, Germany, and Ireland. By the 1880s, the home countries of immigrants began to change. Many of the new immigrants to arrive in the United States came from Eastern or Northern European countries, like Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, and Czechoslovakia, rather than from Western European countries, like Great Britain, Ireland, and Germany.
In 1860, 328,249 immigrants lived in Ohio. These people accounted for fourteen percent of the state's population. By 1900, the number of immigrants in Ohio rose to 458,734, but the percentage of the population that was foreign-born declined to eleven percent. Most of these immigrants in 1900 came from Germany, Great Britain, and Ireland, yet a growing number of Eastern and Northern Europeans were also migrating to the state.
In 1910, approximately ten thousand Scandinavian immigrants resided in Ohio. Most of these Scandinavians settled along Lake Erie, especially in Cleveland and Ashtabula, where they found low-paying jobs in factories or worked as day laborers. Many Scandinavians also worked as sailors or fishermen. Immigrants who were more successful established businesses that supplied their fellow migrants with traditional Scandinavian products. In 1930, approximately four thousand Scandinavians lived in Cleveland alone. At first, the Scandinavian immigrants tended to settle in their own communities, preferring to live among people who shared similar cultural beliefs and spoke the same language as they did.
Scandinavian immigrants congregated together partly out of camaraderie but also out of fear. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many native-born Americans feared outsiders. Some of these people objected to the immigrants' religious and cultural beliefs, while others believed that the foreigners would corrupt the morals of United States citizens. These people also contended that the quality of life within the United States would decline, as there were not enough jobs to employ the millions of people migrating to America. Many native-born Americans hoped either to limit immigration or to force foreigners to convert to American customs and beliefs. The leaders of this movement were the Progressives of the late 1800s and the early 1900s. To accomplish their goals, the Progressives implemented numerous reforms, including settlement houses, which taught foreigners American practices. The Progressives also called for laws that would either limit or ban the cultural practices of recently arrived immigrants. It would take several generations before the immigrants became truly accepted by the vast majority of white Ohioans.
Most Scandinavian immigrants arrived in the United States prior to World War II. Over the succeeding decades, Ohio's traditional Scandinavian communities began to lose their cohesiveness. As other Ohioans became more tolerant of the Scandinavians, many Scandinavian communities began to disintegrate. Many Scandinavians moved into other communities, while non-Scandinavians began to infiltrate the traditionally Scandinavian neighborhoods. Second and third generation Scandinavians also preferred the more open and free lifestyle of Americans, causing these Scandinavians to reject their traditional and more conservative customs and beliefs. By the 1930s, the Scandinavian language was no longer used in the various Scandinavian churches established in northeastern Ohio. Despite this rejection, several organizations have sought to maintain a Scandinavian identity in Ohio.
