Looks like FITZ has assigned Oldefella to manage spin control on this one.

Good stuff.

Folks, I've got as much seniority as a fan as many and I don't understand the negativity toward Del Miller. Okay, he's not a 'dynamite recruiter' and, yeah, he's taken a few knocks, but the man's coaching resume is pretty darn good.

Based on the number of commits this staff pulls in per Rivals every year, we can expect about 6-8 scholarship signees, and we'll just grant the rest of the scholarships to hard working Kansas kids like Ian Campbell and Jordy Nelson, and let this staff of all-stars coach 'em up.

Awesome.  So, Del Miller, who is now 3+ years older & lazier from the time where he couldn't be bothered to watch film of an Elite 11 QB in his own backyard, is part of the answer.  Sweet.

Here's something I never thought I'd type...would rather have Michael Smith.

go to the 3rd image down in that column.  examine that picture.

next, google image search "VENTRILUCUO DEL CHAT"

If true just proves what I feared and said when Snyder was rehired. He has way too much loyalty to those who failed him in the past. Del was willing to come here because he was umemployed and he isn't on the wish list of many programs. But he could depend on Coach Snyder to put him on the welfare system again. A very disappointing hire. And Coach Snyder said he wanted to calm the waters. All he wanted to do was create jobs for a few unemployed ex assistants.

Actually, I agree with most of that statement.  However, I do not doubt that Snyder WANTS to "calm the waters," but it appears to me that he is trying to do so with the same formula that produced 2004 and 2005.  I fully expect similar results going forward.

+1.  However, I think with the 12th game, Snyder will consistently find a way to schedule us to a bowl game nearly every year.

People should have gotten extremely nervous when Snyder threw two titles at Chris Cosh, who is nothing more than a glorified linebackers coach.  We gave a Co-DC and Assistant HC title to a guy who was going to get fired, this year or the next, for having an underperforming defense in the ACC.  Why?

Now, he's 'supposedly' hired Del Miller.  When Snyder was hired, we were all told that he was going to attract some of the brightest up-and-coming coaches to set this thing straight.  So far, he's hired one very in-demand coordinator (Koenning), one coordinator that was embattled at his last two stops (Ludwig), and the rest are guys he coached with in '04-'05, or are holdovers from the Prince staff.  I don't know how you spin that into a positive.  Even if you like Brock and Rodgers (which I do), I would have 'liked' to see Snyder haul in an upgrade.  But, hey, what do I know?

When the ace recruiters on your staff are going to be Joe Bob Clements and Dave Brock, you're asking for it.  Just my opinion.

The reason Del Miller is being discussed is there are alot of people saying this is a done deal. While this isn't solid, it's a hell of a lot closer to happening than someone mentioning a name and wishing it to be discussed.

I second the comments of people questioning the "coaching up" comment.

The problem isn't "coaching up" talent.  The problem is getting it here in the first place.

The frightening thing is that, presumably, six of the nine assistant coaches were here between 2004-present, when we couldn't coach up talent, and/or what talent we did bring in, was mostly overrated by the recruiting services (i.e. - Neither Webb or Evridge were three star talent, Calvin and Pomele as four stars...eh, no.).

Good recruiters find good players and bring them in.  The common thread between Snyder's last staff and Prince's staff(s) were that they had problems with both of these things.  They either incorrectly identified Big 12 calibur talent (Any QB on Snyder's last staff, Houlik, Coffman, Sekona, Pierson, etc.), or they whiffed on good players vs. other schools (Reesing, Temple, Brown brothers, Chris Harper, etc.).

We can always fall back on the feel good fable that is "Hoosiers", but the fact of the matter is that all of the DOD teams were loaded with NFL talent, and you don't get to the NFL because you're "coached up".  You go to the NFL because you have the size, speed, and athletcism to compete at that level.

At one point in time, we recruited those types of players.  I don't see how the same group of coaches, and a select few others who don't really do much recruiting themselves, can rectify the main problem that we had before Snyder retired.
