Im just glad Orgeron is taking advantage of the allowance of analysts and actually hiring people. Unlike Miles who was scared to death to bring in outsiders.
Miles seemed to prefer to use those spots for parking a coach who he didn't want to let go of, e.g. Brick Haley. I get the feeling, while not knowing for sure, that such people were not used as part of an overall strategy.
Worth noting that while Orgeron is hiring them, we don't yet know for sure how he will use them and whether or not they will be of any value. But hey, getting them on staff is indeed step 1.
ETA: You need depth in the office just like you need depth on the field too. To be caught with your pants down on Jan 11th as recruiting is in the home stretch sucks. At least if Coach A leaves, there is a QC analyst that can be promoted, even temporarily, to that spot who understands and can speak to a recruit about what we run.

Interesting point. Having these guys that can put together bios on recruits to make sure we have every angle covered is a great strategy. That can be the difference in closing on a recruit and just having a hat on the table.

me either. now, O might be building a bigger support staff, but Les had some analysts and guys on the periphery. maybe Alleva wasn't too big on hiring additional guys and has loosened up on that. or maybe we're replacing some guys who have moved on and the announcements of their hirings are a "thing" more than their predecessors.

who didn't Les like having around? again, is it O is more inviting whereas Les didn't really invite guys around at all, or was Les blocking them. Les hired Raymond as a GA, then coach. and a guy like Ro has been around throwing to players at their pro day.
