Stan Drayton (Head Coach, Temple Owls)

Any sort of background you could provide on those... I'm not familiar with those names.. I know Marrow just from recruiting.

Alford played at Colorado State when I believe Meyer was on staff under Earle Bruce. He has been the RBs coach and recruiting coordinator (something we know is important to Coach Meyer) at Notre Dame the last couple of years.

Washington has been at Boston College for three years and mentored Andre Williams who was a Hesiman finalist. He is originally from Columbus where he attended Watterson.

I'd take Deland McCullough in a heartbeat.

Another interesting name...he has done great work at Indiana, especially with Tevin Coleman. Has ties to Cincinnati where he was a HS coach as well as played at Miami (OH) where he was sensational.

I think either of those guys would be excellent hires. If there's two things I trust Meyer implicitly in, it's evaluating talent, and hiring an excellent coaching staff. He has been killing it in those two areas his entire career, and especially the last three years.

FWIW A couple guys over at the Ozone are talking about Autrey Denson former Notre Dame running back who is now the running back coaching USF.

Hadn't thought about that name. Broward County guy with great ties to South Florida.

Which area was Drayton primary on for recruiting?

any chance that would dictate who they hire?

Northeast Ohio

My 8 year old daughter could recruit that area.

I knew Washington when he was in hs. He was a great hs defensive lineman. He played alongside two of my cousins at Watterson (they went on to to play at UC and Ohio U). I remember him as a smart, likable kid from a great family. I can't imagine that he isn't an excellent coach.

Good luck to Drayton with the Bears. Glad you could get a ring with the Bucks!

Finally something worth discussing...

First person to suggest Eddie George, Beanie Wells, Archie Griffin, Lydell Ross, Maurice Hall, Michael Wiley, Hopalong Cassidy, Maurice Clarrett, Joe Montgomery, Robert Smith or Mo Wells gets a stern look. If you're going to suggest a former player as least pick one with previous coaching experience like Pepe Pearson (and no, I'm not seriously suggesting he is a candidate).

Richard McNutt?

I'm not arguing that this is the worst thing a football team has ever done, just that there are better ways to do it.

Enlighten us on how you think he should've handled it...

Given the emphasis Meyer places on recruiting, I would think it could play a role.

Why not keep it in house, and just place Hinton as RBs coach, he was that previously at UC and ND. He did well with Isaiah Pead at UC and Armando Allen, Cierre Wood and Jonas Gray at ND. He still would have the North east OH as his recruiting ground as well. We can find a young up and comer to be a TE coach.
