Chadwell is a decent coach. There is a reason he is in his mid 40's and nobody from a larger school has come calling yet. To his credit/benefit he struck gold with his current 2star QB from NC who didn't have any D1 offers except CCU. Only a sophomore and that kid is considered one of the top 12 QB's in CFB. Without him, Chadwell's magic 2020 never happens.
The difference is his coordinators. He truly went after hr hires and he hit em. We were sold a bill of goods about Beamer's coordinators. We were hoodwinked.people sing the praises of what a great hire Sam Pittman is at Arky yet his resume was the same as (or less than) Beamer….let’s give Beamer at least one season before we decide on his fate.
I for one really like our entire staff. Just because they aren't SEC rehashes and big names doesn't mean they aren't the guys for the job. I'm still on the fence a little to see what satt does, but otherwise we upgraded at almostnevery coaching position.
Defense looks pretty good to me. Offensively do you think losing your quarterback two weeks before the season starts has anything to do with it the first two games.
Completely understood.
Please see post #98
Yea, a big reason Chadwell didn't get a HC job is due to the offense that he runs. People were apprehensive about him running this offense. The old, "that won't work at the next level" argument people use, until it works at the next level. We did strike gold with McCall (Had an offer from Army as well). And had his high school ran a more spread type of offense he'd be at a bigger school.
But he's not proven at this school. Do you actually know that he would have come here?
It’s not about this year and next year. It’s about year 3 and 4. Chadwell has record that speaks for itself in improving the schools he’s coached.
When Strong lost to Kansas in 2016, it was what finished him.
I forgot about that. I haven't heard you comment about this week's SEC shorts. I thought it was funny as hell. But I can take a good natured ribbing.
No, you were replying to the post "he (Chadwell) has not proven anything." Pointing out that Beamer has or hasn't proven anything is irrelevant to whether Chadwell has or has not. Anything about Beamer is not relevant to what Chadwell offers.
After two games that we won (against subpar competition), I don't think you can say we were hoodwinked. Why not give it a season and see what happens? And then give it another season with more players who were chosen by this coach and his coordinators. The jury is still out on the hire, and will remain so for awhile.
Nobody mentions that prior to Chadwell striking gold with his freshman 2 star QB in 2020 his teams at Coastal didn't look so hot. Rule #1 when hiring a new coach: Never be the guy who hires a coach after his one and only historically great season....especially if said coach relied upon a generational type QB that quite frankly was a gift from heaven. You take that kid out of the equation and CCU was a 7-8 win team in 2020.
It’s the only username I’ve ever used on this forum and on Doug Jolly’s old forum.
... and won them both! Plus. Wouldn't you want him to keep play calling simple in game 1? Why give away all your best plays?
I didn't know that we interviewed Chadwell and that he didn't want to be here. Or if I did I had forgotten about said interview.
As far as Norvell is concerned, he currently is a path to be worse than Taggart. Willie at least beat Jacksonville State last year and Norvell obviously couldn't even do that. If Taggart had been allowed to finish his 2nd year at FSU I think he could have at least finished even or maybe even have a winning season because the remainder of that schedule was relatively soft. Not saying Taggart should not have been fired but all I'm saying Norvell will be very lucky to tie Taggart's record at the end of two years. So, FSU spend a lot of money and maybe didn't even not help themselves.
Floated by who?
Floated by Chadwell or this poster would be my guess….
What I said was CCU was a 7-8 win team last year without the McCall kid. Nobody is even talking about Chadwell if not for one single player on that team last year. That's the point that was made, you don't want to be the guy who hires a coach after one great season when the success of that season rode on the shoulders of one QB
When your stadium looks like ours then you can come back and tell us that your program has passed us by. Not when you had a good year in the sunbelt while our old coach brought us down in the SEC.
Never said our program passed you all. I will say if both teams played head to head this year I definitely think things are in our favor.
Lol Did you look at the link I posted... Guess not!That last sentence......
