Defensive coordinator:



Pretty sure we can afford three SB winning coaches on our staff. Am I right?

" Multiple sources have indicated that Louisiana Tech head coach Sonny Dykes is a primary target in the coaching search. Dykes was hired by Louisiana Tech in 2010 and in three years, the Bulldogs have posted a 22-15 record. They won the WAC in 2011, and Dykes won the conference coach of the year award in the same season. This year, the Louisiana Tech offense averaged 51.5 points per game, the most in the nation. Prior to Louisiana Tech, the 43-year-old Dykes was offensive coordinator at Arizona and Texas Tech where he worked with receivers and quarterbacks in spread passing systems."

He and Kay would have got along great.

Games against SC could make for interesting shirts

have you never watched Gruden's QB Camp???

11/27/2012 7:26:57 PM

I watched a little bit of the Russell Wilson one and saw he bad hooters commercials if that's what you're getting at.

11/27/2012 8:29:44 PM

I was referring to you being unaware of his Fired Football Coaches Association

11/27/2012 8:31:03 PM

Nah, I didn't really know what happened to him after he got fired at Tampa Bay, which is why I looked up his wiki and found something comical to me which was subsequently posted

11/27/2012 8:32:10 PM

Dykes to interview Wednesday morning.

http://www.thenewsstar.com/article/20121127/UPDATES02/121127027/-1/rss?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&nclick_check=1

This could be a smoke screen or a plan B, but all signs are pointing to Dykes getting hired.

^this. Sonny better bring in some great d cords. I don't want a Larry Fedora wanna be here

11/27/2012 9:49:44 PM

Amato for DC lol

11/27/2012 9:51:05 PM

I would strongly support Chuck's return to our sidelines (not as HC)

11/27/2012 9:54:40 PM

I am intrigued by the potential hiring of Dykes, but am wondering if he can recruit?

11/27/2012 10:06:20 PM

Don't know that Dykes is even the best in his conference.

11/27/2012 10:10:54 PM

^^ I was wondering the same thing. According to his LA tech bio:

Quote :

"Rivals.com cited Dykes as one of the countries brightest offensive minds and top ten college recruiters in the country."

I'll give Amato 2 things, the guy knows front 7s & can recruit

There could be worse options at DC

[Edited on November 27, 2012 at 10:41 PM. Reason : C]

11/27/2012 10:38:39 PM

^ And he's got the energy... I miss Amado. Not the best HC, but would be one hell of a presence on staff.

11/27/2012 10:43:13 PM

what's Reggie Herring up to these days?

11/27/2012 10:46:46 PM

My take on Dykes, pulling bias away since there are other guys I would much rather have:

- Love the offense
- Think he won't be the great recruiter some Rivals article has him sold as. Has filled up LaTech with a lot of JUCOs. If hired here would be in between Chuck and TOB
- Needs to hire a damn good DC or games will get old fast. We only had a chance at beating Michigan today for about 20 seconds and that's because our defense sucked. We at least tried to play it though. Dykes' team this year didn't even try.

11/27/2012 10:55:09 PM

Has a head coach ever returned to a school as an assistant? Just curious.

11/27/2012 11:06:48 PM

[no]

(a non-interim head coach, at least)

I'm not saying he's a great recruiter, but faulting a coach for taking a lot of JUCO kids at Louisiana Tech is like faulting a redneck for picking up a 6 at the bowling alley. If you are only looking at coaches recruiting blue chip talent to also-ran conferences you are looking at basically nobody.

11/27/2012 11:10:47 PM

11/27/2012 11:13:30 PM

Since rivals rankings was mentioned earlier, La Tech has ranked 96th & 90th the past 2 seasons

Think they weigh juco guys differently, though I could be wrong

Wtf on the basketball part of tower's post

11/27/2012 11:21:49 PM

Dykes needs to run the 1-3-1 and crash the boards.

11/27/2012 11:28:07 PM

I have a feeling that rivals ranking was based more on his recruiting as an assistant at BCS level schools...

[Edited on November 27, 2012 at 11:35 PM. Reason : just for clarification: by ranking i mean of him being a top 10 recruiter]

Not running him down for it. There's been a lot of talk we're trying to hire a "stud recruiter" and I doubt Dykes is going to be putting NC State in the top 10 on Scout rankings or whatever. We admit a few JUCOs every year but I don't think relying on it to the extent some programs (K State, a lot of non-BCS schools) do is going to fly here. As long as he gets the players he needs and his teams are good I'm fine.

Honestly I think the "stud recruiter" thing is overblown. I listened to DY's press conference just like everyone else, but very few of the realistic candidates for the job are really stud recruiters. Nobody in the MAC is lighting it up on the recruiting trail, and neither is Butch Jones. Kirby Smart looks like a great recruiter on paper, but if you take away the Alabama brand name and Saban's pedigree what are you really left with?

Lol of course the coordinators bring recruits. The brand name doesnt matter that much. Look what james franklin and charlie strong have been able to do.
