Tosh Lupoi

[Dawgpoundrock21]

Would you guys think he would be a good candidate?

 

[shotgunDawg]

Not sure Mullen can hire another guy without DC experience

Would've been a much better hire than Sirmon though

 

[HD6]

Would be a great candidate. Which is why he won't be hired.

^^Unfortunately 100% true.

I would much rather hire a 'young defensive coach' with intensity like Tosh Lupoi than someone with DC experience.

Here is the 'report card' on Sirmon in 2016 ..

Peter Sirmon, Mississippi State: Sirmon took over a defense that had allowed 23.3 points per game or less for the past six years, and promptly allowed 33.1 points per game. State was last in the SEC in pass defense, and was torched for 31 touchdowns in the air (11 more than 13th-place Kentucky). If Year 2 isn’t better, there won’t be a third.

Just like with recruiting, Mullen is scared to talk to the 5 star.

He would be just another one in the revolving door. We need someone who will stay 4 or 5 years

Being that Mullen's last two DCs prior to Sirmon led top 10 defenses this year -- it would seem he's pretty damn good at finding the 5*.

You have developed quite an infatuation with bold text haven't you?

 

[aTotal360]

We aren't hiring someone away from Bama. We are going to raid the Sunbelt or MAC. I'm not saying there aren't good coaches to be found there.

If we are going to hire a Tosh, make it Daniel.

Made 550K last year as LB coach... Sirmon made 630K as D-co.

Yes! and I use ' .. ' a lot. If it bothers you .. well ..

We need to dangle $800,000 with incentives to make over 1 Million for titles and premium bowl appearances and see who nibbles.

But I am sure we will low-ball.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Expect another LB coach with no experience. Then next year expect another LB coach. Then the year after that...

Dude is a hellacious recruiter. Therefore, completely unqualified. **
