Thoughts on this guy?

That would be a homerun
Posted on 12/15/16 at 1:36 pm to Fun Bunch
Does it concern anyone that hes been this for 7 different teams or am I being skeptical?

homerun hire

I didnt realize he got fired earlier this year. Pretty rough to get fired 4 games into your first season with the team

Coach O is hitting it out of the park this week
Go beat the brakes off Louisville then go get some 5 star linebackers to add to this class.

not being negative but said he was fired a few months back. So i guess he is available 
Posted on 12/15/16 at 1:39 pm to saint_tiger
He's been fired like 10-15 times but the good news is he has been hired 10-15 times as well.

Holy shite. Really?
Posted on 12/15/16 at 1:41 pm to TheCaterpillar
He's a screamer and super high energy. Orgeron is filling his staff up with people like him
Posted on 12/15/16 at 1:41 pm to TheCaterpillar
He's a very solid ST coach and would be a great hire.
Posted on 12/15/16 at 1:41 pm to GumboPot
Position coaches tend to move a lot, especially in the NFL. I wouldn't read too much into that. Sounds like a pretty solid hire.
Posted on 12/15/16 at 1:41 pm to GumboPot
Like the resume but may be an over correction to BDP, I'd rather him be a shadow guy while a recruiter holds the STs coach title
