Brian Newberry as DC

[tired]

Looks like wherever this guy's been, he's had one of the best D's in his league, & seems to turn em around pretty quickly. Def won't be soft under him.

Looks line he stroked out on that last line but pushed through the pain. Legendary posting.

This is excellent news. Leach is going to be great and I feel great. LETS SAIL BOYS!!!!!!

lol. +1 well done

 

[Shamoan]

Nothing is ever good enough for a segment of our fanbase. Save your keystrokes

A Navy Man and a Pirate? Interesting combo.

will certainly make scrimmages interesting

 

[Ralph Cramden]

I can't understand all the doom and gloom here. Not everybody knows about this guy. Google his defensive stats and please google his schemes. Leach likes him and statistically this guy kicks *** so that's good enough. Get on board. It's all good

Leach could have Brent Venables and some would be unhappy.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Yeah. If Venables was any good he would have been a head coach, right?**** (can’t forget these)

I’m genuinely worried about him

 

[goindhoo]

Venables defense just got lit up for 42 points. Shoop didn’t give up that many

I wouldn't call it an "awful" hire, but its disappointing. The guy has 1 season as a DC in FBS, and no P5 coaching experience. He has been successful at small schools, but who knows how that will translate to SEC play? It could work out, but I think Leach could have done much better. At least this shouldn't cut into his $4.7 million budget too much.

I disagree with you on this one Zilla.

True, he has limited experience but he produced great numbers without 3, 4, and 5 star players. To me, this means his ideas on defense work no matter the players, so having some quality guys at MSU might translate into success.

I'm sick and tired of name coaches who court new jobs ever year. We have a name head coach.

I think we are going to be happy with this guy and we should find out quickly if he is not. Don't forget we can replace a DC with no problem, but I really think he will do well and stay a while.

 

[Dawg1976]

I rest my case.

Hate to put the jinx on the dude...but this is a hell of a hire IMO.
