I suppose that says that neither Bohl and Norvell are especially great coaches.OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 11:04 amWyoming had an NFL QB, WR, TE, RB and Center on offense and a future NFL LB, 2 safeties, CB turned WR and DE on defense... that team went 8-6.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 10:53 amHow about a NFL caliber QB AND WR AND TE?OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 10:50 amI am actually surprised CSU is making what seems to be a rational hire. Since Lubick, CSU has went the SEC and East Coast route which has not turned out well for them partly due to the lack of local ties and unfamiliarity with the MWC. I think Norvell has done a pretty good job on a small budget at Nevada taking them to 4 straight bowl games.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 10:32 amI guess. I think it's underwhelming. Norvell got lucky with getting a great QB in Strong IMO. Let's see how well it works for him without a NFL caliber QB. I have my doubts.
I don't really buy into the "Norvell got lucky with getting a great QB" argument...because Norvell recruited Strong when he was off the radar of most programs (in fact I don't think he even played his senior year of HS). The big (if not the biggest) part of coaching at the college level is recruiting and Norvell has done a pretty damn good job bringing talent into Reno.
MWC teams don't see that accumulation of talent very often, if ever. And he went 8-4. As I said, I have my doubts.

He'll probably lure most of his best players to CSU with him. That seems to be the trend nowadaysragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 11:59 am Man, I wonder if he foresees some roster issues? More money but if he had a good outlook for success at NV, you'd think that's the fastest way to a P5 job. I think a reasonable hire for csu but sure didn't see that coming

Good point. I didn't think about the transfer rules. Too lazy to look it up but I wonder if csu pays more for athlete stipends?LanderPoke wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 4:33 pmHe'll probably lure most of his best players to CSU with him.
