Lmao ed is hiring everyone.

Are we trying to grab a JUCO recruit or something?

Looks like he was a GA here earlier in the decade.

I may need to send my resume in to Ed....I did coach a flag football team about 6 years ago and had a decent high school career playing special teams.

Was hired as the Princeton DBs coach after his LSU GA gig.
ETA: Looks like he recruited Brett and Blaine Bech's nephew to Princeton.

I wonder if O is hiring all of these people to his shadow staff just to mimic what Saban is doing at Bama.

To get big time jobs you need to pay your dues
An analyst at a Power 5 job gets you into a better position to become an assistant at a bigger program

If there were a big time recruit at Garden City that we were going after, this would be the worst move we could make.

You guys are STILL bitching about analysts?
There’s plenty of shite to complain about. This isn’t one of them.

This is never bad news.
There aren’t limits on analysts and we can use all the help we can get. And they’re cheap.
Maybe he’s got a connection to a recruit or something.
ETA:
This looks like a Dave Aranda staff building move. The guy is clearly a very smart guy and was good enough for an NFL contract as well.
I think it's a good hire for an analyst role. Might have a future in being a DB coach.
Really solid resume foundation for a coaching career.

Oh good, more things for the rant to bitch about for no reason. Y’all are the ones complaining that we didn’t have a shadow staff.

You guys, the day Orgeron hires a HC analyst, let's all go get drunk.
Posted on 2/12/18 at 8:41 am to TheCaterpillar
Exactly.

If he's got a connection to a recruit, we shouldn't be hiring him as an analyst.

Is this true for JUCO coaches as well? Thought it was just high school coaches
