Please tell me we are keeping Dwayne Dixon on the staff

12/24/2006 5:17:12 PM

I wish we would keep Todd Stroud as well.

Still is a good sign that TOB's assistants are coming too. Continuity, something Chuck failed at.

12/25/2006 1:22:25 AM

As long as he can convince Marcus Stone to return for his senior year i think we'll all be convinced that this was the right guy for the job.

12/25/2006 3:03:22 AM

is that a joke? you arent on the burke wagon yet?

12/25/2006 3:41:25 AM

"i'm not convinced trestman wouldn't do a decent job not under amato, "

that is the not-best sentence i've ever not unread in Sports Talk.

i know that was posted almost a month ago, but i just read the thread.

12/26/2006 3:59:09 PM

i'm glad something i wrote a month ago had such an impact on you. did you have an opinion on trestman or did you just post to point out my overuse of negatives?

12/26/2006 8:19:29 PM

why would he be better away from chuck? i don't see him doing much differently, i think chuck gave him a lot of control.

I'd rather a new coach bring in his OC, along with DC. Those just seem like two positions that should be filled with your people, not someone elses who was a large reason the guy ended up getting fired.

12/26/2006 8:22:14 PM

^ i agree that it'd be better for TOB to bring his own coordinators if he can, but from what i've heard chuck didn't give trestman much freedom at all, and would frequently change the calls.

12/26/2006 8:27:48 PM

what is chuck doing now? has he had any job offers? maybe i'm just out of the loop

12/26/2006 10:23:51 PM

he is getting old...might have retired...but havent heard anything official

12/26/2006 10:50:52 PM

I've heard that he's looking for a DC position somewhere but still wants to keep his house in Raleigh.

Not sure how that's gonna work.

12/27/2006 2:25:17 AM

yeah, that sucks that there's that law where you can only own one house!

actually, i liked trestman too. the guy had pro and college experience, and i think he was/is a good OC, just needed a little time and a lot more talent for his offense to work. he didn't get enough time here IMO

12/27/2006 8:55:42 AM

the problem here is that you dont know you just think
and trestman has not held a job for longer than 3 years over the past decade.....[something to marinate on]

quarterbacks aside, how much talent does he need!? 2005 usc?

12/28/2006 1:39:33 PM

yeah besides having awful QB's, a bad offensive line, inexperienced WR's, and an injured Andre Brown i think its fair to say Trestman was working with a stacked deck. I dont think we should settle for anything less than an offensive juggernaut.

"Pack football staff to come together soon Now that Boston College has won the Meineke Car Care Bowl, former Eagles coach Tom O'Brien can officially put together his new football staff at N.C. State. O'Brien, who replaced Chuck Amato as the Pack's coach, has said his staff would be in place by Jan. 3. The Boston Globe reported today that all but three of his former BC assistants would join him at NCSU. The Globe reported associate head coach/recruiting coordinator Jerry Petercuskie, offensive coordinator Dana Bible, offensive line coach Don Horton, tight ends coach Jim Bridge, running backs coach Jason Swepson, and defensive line coach Keith Willis would be on the new Wolfpack staff. Staying on the staff of incoming BC coach Jeff Jagodzinski would be defensive coordinator Frank Spaziani, linebackers coach Bill McGovern and defensive backs coach Kevin Lempa. — Chip Alexander "

Hhmmm... excellent

12/31/2006 3:36:35 PM

Not to be a homer but this leaves O'Brien the oppurtunity to put Chuck at DC.

12/31/2006 4:07:56 PM

then we can get personal fouls on every play!

12/31/2006 4:15:28 PM

I would be happy with keeping Dunlap. It is unusual to keep a coordinator of a fired coach, but not as unusual as making the fired coach a coordinator.

12/31/2006 4:18:59 PM

yessssss, offensive coordinator, thats huge, and the offensive line coach

1/1/2007 4:04:25 PM

yeah, we were definitely not seeing our bang for buck with Trestman

1/1/2007 4:08:58 PM

offensive line coach is very big.

1/1/2007 9:32:34 PM

DC is gonna be big too

1/1/2007 9:53:04 PM

sweeeeet, we might get that functional offense that we've been missing for 3 years now

1/1/2007 9:56:02 PM

Who are we trying to go after for DC? Sorry I'm out of the loop...

1/1/2007 10:11:27 PM

^ as far as i know no real rumors have come out yet. except people on here who say chuck =P

1/1/2007 11:35:07 PM

It doesn't really matter who's gonna be DC because we aren't going to have a DL worth a damn next year.

1/1/2007 11:41:36 PM

Bill Cowher for DC

1/1/2007 11:48:56 PM

uhh, didn't we have a freshman AA DE?

1/1/2007 11:50:23 PM

How is our DL going to suck as long as Pressley comes back and doesn't pull a John McCargo on us?

We will still have Pressley, Young who is going to be NASTY, Martrel Brown, Ray Brooks, and Ted Larsen. Plus we have other guys who are talented but haven't gotten much chance yet like Littleton Wright and Quentin Brown and Audi Augustin.

1/2/2007 1:45:00 AM

Littleton Wright is the next big thing......he's gonna be a great player

Well, he will be a senior next year so he has one season to be the next big thing

1/2/2007 2:56:08 PM

6-6 would be a great season next year.

1/2/2007 2:58:17 PM

I know this is early, but has next years schedule been determined?

(Edit: If so, link? or post of schedule?)
