Coaching Convention

[TerryTate]

All - there is a coaching convention this week. As such, there is also a recruiting dead period until Thursday I believe. There will probably be a lull in recruiting / coaching news until after. Look for our positional coaches to be named shortly after as well.

lots of closed door meetings!

Watch us end up with more healthcare mandates

Is there any truth to the rumor about Urban Meyer giving a presentation at the conference about miracle cures for coaches with heart problems?

Yes, I have heard this also. I believe one of the cures used is physical exercising with young college girls until wife finds out and makes you retire for a year.

Don't be surprised to see our new OL coach be Pat Ruel. it would be a homerun hire if it happens.

That seems perfect for us....we usually don't like many people longer than 1 year around heregrin:

Pretty sure he was at SC for five years until pete left. And he was also at Kansas I'm pretty sure for 8 years. A lot of times he left because of coaching changes or simply better jobs

I threw this name around a week or two ago. He was also the OL Coach at USC from 2005-2010. They did pretty well then.

He also has a big west coast presence & NFL experience.

Coached previously in Texas, Kansas, Michigan, Arkansas, Washington, and Illinois. Born in Miami, played at the U.

Check out his recruits that signed with USC:

Pat Ruel - USC Football

Pat Ruel - USC Football

Pat Ruel - USC Football

I'm a fan of this hire.

So it's a pretty sure thing TT?

 

[cLaRk_JoNeS]

well atleast all his years are the same position, not switching from O to D etc.

NotreDomer was the 1 to bring it up, where was this intel/guess coming from
