I'm sure there is speculation about who is going to be on JG's staff, who will he retain, who will he bring in. I heard that JG was going to groom Wes to be the future head coach, keeps continuity in the program, etc, etc. I've also heard that Wes is pretty well though of in coaching circles as a good, up and coming young coach. Went over to the Montana Grizzly board and pulled off this nugget of info. www.egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=54518Glenn is very well though of in Montana (winning them a NC will do that) and the consensus there is this is a good move. Also, the rumor there is Mike Breske might be leaving the Montana staff to be the D coordinator here. Maybe more continuity and grooming going on since his kid is on the U's staff now. All just specualtion now. Man, I just clicked on the USD site and looked up the coaching staf. Never really realized how young this staff is. They look like kids. www.usdcoyotes.com/sports/football/staff.asp |

In addition to Adam being on the staff already, his other son Jake is a GA here. Both sons are also grads of USD. Also, with Adam having a wife and child here, I bet Grandma will have something to say...
Other names to consider:
Casey Glenn - Joe's son. Former OL and S&C coach at USD in 2004; Director of FB operations and TE coach at Wyo; GA at Oklahoma under Stoops; not currently in FB.
Nick Fulton - Offensive GA at Wyo.; OL player at USF; started coaching at Doane College, just like Joe;
In addition to this, Joe should keep some of the current staff for, among other things, recruiting continuity, stability with players, young energy.
Guys like Breske, Sprague, Wes and maybe even Triplett (NOT as an OL coach, maybe WR - he is recruiting coordinator now) are guys that can retain some the great things Ed brought to this team.
If Ed showed us one thing, it is that good players from CA, FL, CO, WI and Illinois can be recruited to Vermillion. We should not let those connections slip through our fingers.

Most of those outside of Coyote Nation seem fixated on 2 things, his age and his flipping the bird to an opposing coach as to the reasons why this hire should be questioned. Neither of these things bother me. Joe may or may not wish he could take back the flying of the bird to an opposing coach who called for an on-sides kick when he was up by 40, I don't know. I do know that 3 seconds doesn't necessarily define the coach as lacking disipline or as a wild card which many are making the quick judgement to.
I remember when Joe was at USD to be inducted into the HOF. As he was on the field and speaking to the crowd, I noted how I have never seen anyone not employed by the University, before or since, show that kind of emotion, passion, and love for the institution as what he displayed in that situation that day. Granted, this was a few short years ago, but that passion does not die; it will only grow as the personal investment increases. That passion will also be transparent to current and future players and recruits. If there is such a thing as a young 62, Coach Glenn will certainly be it.

Jake Breske is NOT Mike Breske's son. That is what I get for making an assumption. I make an ass out of me. |

I remember that flipping the bird incident. I thought JG was relatively restained as I woulda knocked the opposing SOB out at midfield after the game for the classless running up the score he pulled. Well, maybe not knock him out, but I would called him a few choice words to his face in close contact.
I think it's fair to say that JG has worked with and has many relations with quality coaches out there. I think he'll be able to put together a high quality staff if the U gives him the resources to do so. The $$$ is the key to all this. I was suprised in reading the Montana board that they complain so much about the paltry sum paid to their assistants. Maybe paying assistants crap is BAU for the FCS level.

I am not too keen on keeping Sprague around. Adam Breske would be a pretty good keep along with Wes. I like that linebackers coach, Davis, too.

I am not to familiar with Sprague. Just knew he recruited the Chicago area and I want somebody that can hold onto that link.
Davis has great name recognition. Any indication on his actual coaching ability? He was a legend in Alabama HS play. If he became a full time AC and was let loose to recruit the south (AL, MS, & FL), he could be dynamite - if he has the right type of charisma.

Every high school coach in the South knows Buster Davis by reputation. First Team All American at Florida State. If there is a way to work him into recruiting I would asap. |

In general I would throw everybody out and start anew with solid coordinators and assistants from D-I. Besides Ed being Ed, his staff of these D-2 GAs is a major part of his downfall. He developed the first group, the guys over the last 4 years were way in over their heads. Spencer leaves unexpectedly. Trip was sandbagged with the OL position. The Co-OD thing didn't work after halftime. Wes was predictable. etc...
IMHO, JG must bring in as much help ready to hit the ground winning and then layer in the old guys to maintain recruiting. Take the old guys back to the skill positions they played and develop them from there. Wes is not an OC right now, let alone an Assistant HC within the next 3 years. Ed put together a group of nice guys, including Wes, but we need to go to a higher level of teaching fundamentals and techniques. There are a lot of qualified guys out there we can get through the AFCA.
I think Glenn's experience is great for what we need at HC. I was worried about this board wallowing in the great old D-2 days looking for a head coach and in-state players. If we don't give him the tools to be successful now, he won't be able to develop the home grown hero for the future.
Please guys, we are now on a national stage in one the the top 2 or 3 conferences at the D-I level. The NCC was D-2 and no more. If we got all the top players in the state, we still wouldn't have enough bodies to compete for a championship at D-I -- maybe not even at D-2. If you didn't like Ed's performance, keeping this same staff will produce the same results.
Transition was for moral victories and some great suprises. Being Competitive is coach speak for we're not bad but not good enough. Winning the Valley would be nice/awesome. I want multiple ChampionshipS. That starts with how we build this initial staff.
Good Luck, Joe. I hope we help you.

FWIW, I am not suggesting that Adam or Wes would be kept as DC and OC. Just kept on staff. I think they would be great if moved to position coaches. We don't want to lose this recruiting class. It could cripple the program with all of the players that are departing this year.
A big name DC (Mike Breske) and OC (??) from outside of the program are musts.

I am OK with any selections Joe makes that are not related to him, i.e. no sons or nephews. Rarely does that work out well. It did not at Wyoming. Creates chaos and ill feeling with the other coaches as well.

Getting Mike Breske as the DC should be item #1 on the list.

I would like to see TS come back. He has been a coach with Glenn at Wyoming.
