Question for those who may have coached...

  • Is B'OB being flooded with resumes right now or is he only looking throughout his own network?

    LJL -

    BOB is going to speak with the current staffers, and pick their brains about schemes and formations. He obviously has an idea on what he wants to do. He has a philosphy and from this he'll be able to pick guys who fit his philosophy.

    then I suspect he'll reach out to coaches he is familiar with (mark whipple, etc) and get their thoughts about joining.

    As for the resume senders, I don't know how many resumes get sent. I'm sure some will be sent, but you'd think and NFL coach would already have an established network of coaches.

  • I'm no coach, but one of my good friends is a former PSU player who has been a college coach for a long time, and based on what he has told me about prior situations where a new coach is named (don't know anything specific about the situation with O'Brien), the new guy is bombarded from all sides from every coach he ever met, either on their own behalf or on behalf of another coach they know who is interested in a position on the staff. As in a lot of other professions, and maybe even moreso in the coaching profession, it seems like it's all about personal relationships and personal recommendations. I am sure O'Brien's voicemail and e-mail are full.

    I would guess he already has coaches in mind. Just because of the fact he said he wants to fill his staff in two ore three days. That's pretty quick to interview and to research guys.

    That's just my opinion. I'm excited to here what changes will be made to our strength and condition program

    That is my impression as well, just based on how quickly BOB said he will fill the staff...however, there are probably some positions he's not 100% sure about who he wants to get (see white_outs comment on schemes, etc.) and others where some of his choices won't/can't come, so I would imagine at least a number of the available positions are in a pretty fluid state.
