I searched the web for info on my football team and found something 8 days old. A podcast from RJ Young (Memorial HS & TU during the Paul Smith era-(an LB?).He interviewed KDub and I learned a few things maybe of interest. This after Guererri bugged out & before Brown did to. Coach talked about many things, including academics. Such as a definite emphasis on tutors when needed, getting to class, academic support, and recruiting smart kids-which he's started-look at the bios of his new recruits. When TU is 123rd of 125 schools in the APR, it's very important to him.
Next, it's been suggested here we may not have a new DC, but promote from within. Not totally decided yet. Also, he has hired someone I hadn't heard about yet. Most know of Dominique Franks (Union HS, OU & Atlanta Falcons). He's the new Quality Control Coach & will help with the secondary (which,btw, he thinks is the strongest part of our D). More people in the seats from fans of his.
Who will call plays? He's not worried about that until after Spring practice. Other things are more important to him. Spoke highly of Coach Switzer as WR coach. Very impressed with his mind on route running, recognizing coverages & so on. Another name that won't hurt attendance. Spoke highly of Braylin Braxton but not from watching film. Is impressed with his leadership qualities. And is more concerned now with picking his brain on why he did what in the pocket.
Will we have 3-down guys or 4? I think he recognizes the constant depth issue here at TU, and is leaning toward the 3-man front. But that's not decided either. Well, he has Brown to replace on Special Teams at least. And I suppose he would hire a DC if a goodun just came along or maybe move someone up. Just so impressed listening to this guy talk.
