Jon Tenuta

[MattDMB72]

I know that everyone, including me, is really excited to have Jon Tenuta on the Irish coaching staff, but I was wondering how long you guys think that he'll be here. I mean I hope that he'll be teaching the LB's his blitz crazy ways for a long time, but at the same time I know that it won't be long until he gets offered another Defensive Coordinator position at another major school. I'm not sure what kind of contracts Coach Tenuta got and if its long term or not, but I was just wondering what you guys though?

I belive that Tenuta will be the next defensive coordinator at ND.... Corwin Brown is being groomed for a future head coaching job... Tenuta will fill in for him... time frame is two or three years... for all we know Tenuta might be earning the salary of a defensive coordinator allready.

He's got some big bucks, I know that.

I've been thinking along these same lines for a few weeks now.

Tenuta is the asst head coach. He makes def coord money easily.

Either he or Corwin will leave in the next couple years. I suspect Corwin will leave and Tenuta will move into the DC spot.

But Tenuta could easily go somewhere else if a nice big spot opened up.

TAH-NOO-TAH make many clams. TAH-NOO-TAH happy.


That and I think that there had to have been some promises made to him about his future.

I doubt it to be honest. This is such a fluid business that promises mean little.

CB, CW, and Tenuta will all be here at least 2 more years, or until they win a national championship.

Tenuta is a great pickup! This guy should be a head coach somewhere. Regardless of who leaves in the next few years, I am concerned with 2008. As it appears right now, we don't have that much beef up front. Assuming Kuntz comes back (which I think he will), we really only have Kutnz and Williams up front. I hope Tenuta plans on blitzing the LB's a lot more than we have seen in the last few years. Our secondary appears to be our strength on defense, so why not blitz the LB's more to provide added pressure up front. Especially, with a really fast linebacker like Brian Smith. Is anyone else concerned with our defensive line?

 

[Shark Attack]

Nwankwo has also been showing some stuff on the defensive line... I think they'll be able to do their jobs and let the linebackers get through for the rush

AMEN brotha...

 

[IrishGrizz]

I believe that too. I think some men are destined to be HC, some are not. I see CB as destined to be HC, but I think he will wait until he has maybe 2 more yrs of success here. I think JT will not be a HC, at least not real soon, if he changes track. And CW will stay as he becomes more successful- like Ara or Lou- shooting for 10 yrs.
