re: Coach O By the Numbers: Brady, Burrow, Aranda

I don’t think he looked for too many.

Freeman passed but was close. Took a good job offer at Notre Damemin the area he wants to live.

Then we went to Os protege Nielson. And when that didn’t work he stayed in the NFL assistant pipeline and went with Jones.

Bob Shoop is a defensive analyst at Miami right now, and he had some monster defenses at Penn St and Miss St. If you give him the talent he can coach it.

We hired Bo without even looking at anyone.

Ducking Kendal Briles clearly doesn’t care who he works for and we didn’t look at him. We hired two guys Joe Brady probably half asses recommended.

Jones was O’s third choice which doesn’t mean every DC passed. It means he got to Jones as a 3rd choice.

I mean It’s still bad, but it’s not that coordinators don’t want to come here at all, it’s that O is an idiot.

To hire a proven coordinator, there has to be interest from both sides. We really overestimated the idea that proven coordinators would want to work under Orgeron.

Many coordinators get their head coaching gig by working under or learning from a great head coach.

Coordinators suck it up and go work for saban for a couple years. Learn from him and his system, and they move on.

What would a stint under O do for them for personal development?
It's a sink or float job. Why would a good coordinator take that risk?
