Potential RB coaches?
- Thread starter lUCX9
- Start date
I've been looking to pick up a side hustle since I gave up my paper route.
Lesson 1: Hold on to the football
Lesson 2: It's a N/S game
Lesson 3: Keep moving your feet
I'll let you know how the interview pans out.

Kenni Burns- former IU RB is at Minnesota. Coach Wilt would know him.
Mike Hart- good chance Harbaugh is going to the NFL. Would he take Hart with him? If not Hart could be looking for a job.

Bruce Johnson, RB coach at Liberty.
He overlapped with Allen at Ole Miss and was here for one year in 2018 in a support role.

Hiller as RB coach and hire a new OL coach..... 
If we have to keep Hiller, he might prove less dangerous as RB coach lol

Lesson 4: dodge, dip, dive, duck and dodge your way back to the LOS.
How about making Hiller a "Desk Jockey" until his contract is up and hire a new OL Coach?
If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge an arm tackle.
Haha I love that movie and came this close to posting the same thing😂
Or some other guy with ties to Ark St like about half of our staff.
I think CTA needs to hire a RB coach who has a average to below average success rate at just about every school he's been to.... but, is a really nice guy. You know, more of the usual. 😕
You missed step number One, the one Vince Lombardi used to open every Summer Training Camp as head Coach,
1. "Gentlemen, this is a Football".
why not burns? an iu guy, that's fine with me. all these guys coach the same way. if he can recruit bring him on.
Hart is rumored to get the HC job if Harbaugh leaves.

Sources: Jim Harbaugh plans to sign with the Minnesota Vikings
Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is headed to Minnesota for a Wednesday interview with the Vikings, but multiple sources say it's a formality.
We can make any list of top 8 or 10 RB coaches out there we want but I highly doubt any of them will consider coming here after the best RB coach on the planet just left because he couldn't envision his personal upward mobility being enhanced here...
All the best ones are, or at least hope they are, on a career track to become an OC and eventually, an HC... If Mc didn't think that being here this year could help make that happen for him do you think these other established guys are going to chance it...? They're not coming...
Our best move right now (in my opinion) is to find a talented young guy who's looking to step up a level and is a good fit with Bell's approach...
Find a guy who enjoys coaching, knows techniques and is proven to be a hard worker and a team player and we'll be fine at that position...

Here’s one: Antwan Randle-El!
Currently WR coach in Tampa Bay right? Ex-IU legend, playmaker, NFL pedigree too. Been around enough of offensive rooms on NFL and gifted runner himself, I’d be comfortable with him as RB coach.

I sometimes get the impression that, at one time or another, 20% of the coaches in FBS coached at Arkansas State. Guess that sorta makes ASU the "Miami (of Ohio) of the South" or something close.
I’d love to see ARE pull a Jim Leonhard and come home to end up being OC some day. Lord knows he was around some creative offenses in Pittsburgh with him, Ward, and Roethlisberger (and Stewart early in ARE’s tenure there).
Why would any RB coach want to come to IU with the OL performance the last five years? How could he hope to succeed and potentially progress in his career with the understanding that he can do the absolute best job humanly possible in coach RB skills and techniques and be destined for failure because the OLs will be horrible and won't open any holes ever?
Hardly. Not enough ND's needing a RB coach for all the other 'good 1's' to be hired at.
Well our last two RB coaches have been poached by UM and ND respectively. Not exactly like we are firing them left and right for poor production. The idea that a successful G5 RB coach (like Johnson of Liberty who I mentioned above) wouldn't want a promotion and raise to come to IU just because of Hiller seems silly.
It may not be appealing to an RB coach that has a safe job at another P5 school already but should still be able to poach from smaller schools.
why the **** would he come here as a running back coach, especially with the talent of the OC coaches around him?
What about Anthony Thompson . He knows a little bit about being a running back . He is also a great person , who any parent would be proud to have coaching their son .
Here is a weird thought. Harbaugh is leaving Michigan and they will be going through Coach and probably Assistant Coaching Changes. What if Mike Hart becomes available and looks like the most Qualified Candidate. Do you consider Him, or do the lyrics to the Song "Once Bitten, Twice Shy Babe" start playing in Your head.
Hart was a good recruiter and could pick talent. But he also ran his horse (Stevie) pretty hard and didn't give a lot of opportunity to others. I'd take him if he wanted to come back but he wouldn't be long for IU. He clearly wants to be an OC or HC.
Burns is a great choice and a real possibility. Minnesota had a good run game. Forget Hart, he is back with his alma mater.
And the athletic department would have a great opportunity to make a “Ken Burns documentary” parody if one of the RBs stand out.
Great running backs are great because they are physically gifted. I don’t thing that gives them a leg up as a coach.
If they already have an equal or better job why would they make a lateral move, at best, after seeing McCollough walk?
There are plenty of good up and comers that can handle the RB position while falling into a more comfortable fit with the actual HC and the actual OC...
Here's a slightly "out of the box" approach to solving this hiring issue:
Move Coach Wright from TE's to RB's..., and... bring in This guy as TE's coach:
umassathletics.com
He's worked with Bell and has a background of coaching the OL (so he could teach our TE's to actually make their blocks and perhaps help Hiller out with technique in some manner)... The $ numbers should be easily workable too...
Another option (as TE coach along with OL technique skills):

$$$ should not be an issue - DMc was 5th highest paid RB coach in the country! I believe Bell was payed less than Sheridan. Not sure about DC & DL comparable pay.
If Hiller underperforms this yr, we should have plenty of $$ to go get a top OL coach

I posted that last night when the rumor was that He was leaving.
The fact that Allen thought Sheridan was worth that type of money shows his lack of understanding on the offensive side of the ball. It was right for him to take that paycut for paying Sheridan in the first place.
Makes me even more interested if he actually sees anything in Bell, or if Bell was just so nice and interviewed so well.
Yeah..., he even fooled Football Scoop (who's reporting I was going by when I posted him gone)...
Typical Harbaugh... Nobody knows what's going on in that head of his but him...
Gotta a bio link?
There's several CJ's out there...
Are you speaking of the guy who got cut loose by the Giants 2 years ago?
