The focus now for Wicker is to help him find the best DC that runs the 3-3-5. I have the confident that we will find one because there a few Rocky protege that are currently available. why do we have to be stuck on the 3-3-5? I'm guessing because we can recruit more tweeners.

I was hoping we would hire him as our OC. I might even have hoped that we looked at him before Hoke 2.0. Big fan of White. Grubb I was worried would leave in a year after getting HC experience. Lewis is a good compromise. A guy I think wants to be in one place, did the crazy and now looking for a career somewhere.
I hope we stick with the 3-3-5. The secondary is our strength. We need a lot of help at DL and LB.

Well, Deion buys his sunglasses from a local company owned by a SDSU alumni so this was destiny I suppose.

The Veer and Shoot? It's an offense that places the ball into the hands of the WR a whole bunch. We are going to have to recruit to that system. They ran the ball a ton in 2022 and 2021. The run is set up by the short passing game to the edges. It's not my cup of tea. This is a meh hire for me. I'm not angry but at the same time I am not excited. The best you can say is that he took a doormat at Kent State and turned them into a 500 club. We shall see how it goes.

His offensive systems alone will help sale more tickets for sure. This was one of the goal in selecting a new HC.

Kent State's offense was one of the fastest tempo teams in the country when Lewis was there. If you can find pieces to run it? Boom. Great tempo.

Difference is now, those power schools can correct those mistakes (like Marshal Faulk) in the transfer portal.

I wonder if JD used the search firm's recommendation, and not going with a gut feeling? If the football people made the football decisions, I'll support it.

Hmmm. Not sure why SDSU keeps hiring MAC alums. Denny Stoltz, Bowling Green; Brady Hoke, Ball St.; Sean Lewis, Kent State.

The Veer and Shoot? Crazy, we better find an actual quarterback that actually has a real arm reeeeeeeal quick if our slot guys are going to be lining up in gucci row. agree. without knowing the full candidate pool i don't hate it, but it doesn't scream "we had people knocking down our door".

See any parallels to this hire and Chuck Long? No this guy has HC coaching experience and has OC Experience at various levels. He was also making $2.7M at CU, so I am going to guess we are north of that number to secure his hire.

as with any offense depends on the QB and OL - does he have any connections for possible players or assistant coaches
so some are saying he was good enough for Prime Time offense OC but not good enough for SDSU
