Can't say I'm surprised after his demotion.

Re: Billy Gonzales 


Are we really lamenting the departure of anyone on this staff except for our D-line coach?

nope, I'm just waiting for them all to go. Last year was not Division I football. It was barely high school football.

I never thought I would see a worse OC than Petrino. I was wrong about that.

One of TB's disastrous decisions was to hire young, unproven co-OCs in conjunction with an inexperienced OL coach.

Pretty sure Schultz was a disaster as well.

Thank god. The man is even dumber than Beckman. He couldn't speak for 30 seconds without saying "obviously"

My vote goes for Paul Schudel, but it's close.

Luke will probably be a fine OL coach down the road with more seasoning, but there's a reason most top schools have guys with at least a few gray hairs oversee the OL.  It's critical for the team, and difficult to master.  Guys like Harry Hiestand are worth their weight in gold.

Luke likely would have been able to learn on the job working under a skilled veteran OC.

Would Derek Leonard take a job as a WR coach?

Based on the performance of the d-line last year, I did not lament his departure.  Sometimes the parts do not equal the whole.

Re: Billy Gonzales 


This is great news.  The structure of the staff last year was a disaster - 2 unproven co-coordinators and an unproven OL coach.  We have a chance for a serious upgrade in all 3 spots, which can only help.

I never have liked co-coordinators. Good luck to Billy...and I think we'll be better finding someone Cubit is comfortable working with.

last time we did that I figured the problem was that one of them was a Mallory.

Re: Billy Gonzales 


I forgot about that. And, that weasel ruined Juice, too. But Petrino's 6 game losing streak, inability to adjust and complaints about the refs were all remarkably bad.
