Promote Gregory to DC?

Hot take. Gregory is going to be pretty much identical to Coach K as DC. If you liked Coach K, you should be okay with this move. It takes Gregory off the recruiting trail somewhat, which is a positive. I will accept debates about hiring a QC guy as DL coach, but that has worked out pretty good for Cato. I'm in LIPO mode.

This was a "we have a defensive formula that works against everyone but Stanford and a new hire would have fucked with the equation" hire.

Cato has looked like a pretty damn good internal promotion from quality control. LIPO.dnc said:Not only did we promote the shit LB coach to DC, we promoted the "defensive quality control" guy to DL coach.
No creativity. No effort. NOGAF.
Jimmy has made four staff hires since he's been HC (and multiple moves within the staff.
Jon Donovan
Terrence Brown
Two internal quality control coaches
That could not be a more depressing list. -
Yeah, clearly Jimmy has taken after Pete. He's a system guy. It is what it is.dnc said:

That being said, who is Terrence Brown? -
100% bullshit. Names are always leaked during the interview process as agents try to get their guys free pub.hardhat said: -
Even Vorel trolls it by putting "exhaustive process" and "numerous people" in quotes.hardhat said:
It was obvious it was going to be this...I'm just laughing at the constant promotion of interns to Assistant jobs because we can't go out an hire anybody. And since he's still the ILB coach he's still recruiting that position.

It doesn't take him off the trail. He's still the ILB position coach.CallMeBigErn said:Hot take. Gregory is going to be pretty much identical to Coach K as DC.

Add to that Terrence was basically an intern hire that had spent a year or two at Vandy.dnc said:

And I think I would have preferred an intern hire over Donovan...
