Breaking New Secondary Coach: John Butler

[Stan Raymond]

My concern with Cooper is that he was lauded over and over by Coach Rhule for his ability to identify hidden gems.

Yet, here we were going into last December’s signing period and again going into the summer borderline desperate to land a transfer CB.

Why is that? Lack of development? What is the ROI on the hidden gems identified by Cooper?

Jalen Lloyd is one. The LB recruit out of Stillwater unrecruited by the state schools didn’t last his first semester IIRC. Any others?

I think that is fair, 20+ players in the DB room and we had to go get 2 transfers. Not all of the recruited HS players are late bloomers, only had to fill 1 CB spot.

It seemed like he spent a lot of time hunting for and offering diamond in rough type players when there were more obvious recruits avaliable that could have been evaluated and offered instead.

He was offering 2025 4 star CBs a month ago that should have been offered and built relationships with months ago.

I don't have a problem with having developmental players but I also don't want a roster full of them either.

Don't see this as a bad thing at all.

I mean when you have ~25 DB's and have to take a transfer to start at corner it is not a great thing.

The herd will be thinned. Have a pro coach now not some horn dog

Prolly some law about an opening having to be posted for a certain amount of time before it can be filled... I dunno

Coming off a long holiday weekend it might take a day or two to finalize everything.

You think it will be Damons?

Schaefer looks like he needs to lay off the booze and do some cardio so he doesn’t die of a heart attack at age 45

He was great in Letterkenny though.

Big 10, SEC, and NFL Experience? Matty R has a type on second round hires. And I love it.

 

[djw004]

You had all this tome and thats what you came up with? Shitty hire imo

Fuck your mother.

Every replacement we make is great, until they are not, then they are the scum between our toes.

Fucking rookie.

 

[djw004]

do we really want that?

I want what Rhule wants.
