No one is bashing the hire, man. People just aren't convinced this is some 4-D chess recruiting tactic. (1) We don't know to what extent, if any, he will even be allowed to recruit; (2) We don't know what level of clout he would actually be able to carry when recruiting, if he's even allowed to do it.

I don't know why this can't just be considered a neutral hire, maybe somewhat beneficial hire that doesn't move the needle much one way or the other.
No, the hire probably isn't some sign that O is incapable of modernizing the program. And no, hiring 84 year old John Robinson probably isn't going to pave some new in-roads for us to plunder California of high school football talent.
exactly, but try telling these yahoo's this and they claim you are a hater and are O negative.

This shite is funny. This guy played in the leather helmet era and people think he's going to help with recruiting.

Right and according to the tweet from .. I think Joe Schad? ... he's a "consultant". I'm not entirely sure what that means and/or if he would be subject to the same recruiting rules as analysts.

I think this question would be better directed to OP

I’m just glad we finally have someone on staff with success in a head coaching role. Baby steps.
Posted on 7/1/19 at 1:42 pm to lsu2006
I have no clue what he’s gonna do... but you know what? I’m not an arrogant know it all douche like half this board is so if O brought him in to help on the analyst side then obviously he sees value in the man....
I’m just gonna gonna accept the concept that O knows what can benefit the team moreso than a bunch of crybabies on an internet mess board, you should too.

To borrow a phrase from you, "y u so mad"?
For the record, I don't think he's being brought in as an analyst. Analysts actually participate in breaking down film, gameplans, etc.

We're still trying to figure out the positives from O bringing on an 83 year old man who hasn't coached in 15 years and has no connection to the school or state.

We should start playing all home games at the coliseum because of the recruiting.

It doesn't matter if you call them a analyst or consultant or whatever. The point is only so many staffers can recruit. Contrary to what these fanboys think Orgeron is not responsible for recruiting everyone of these players. The head coaches contact is very limited. They can only have one in home visit with each recruit. The one loophole is when a coach leaves at the end of a season. You will often see a head coach wait until after signing day to fill the spot. Because if you are short on the staff, the HC is allowed fill in until another coach is hired. Under this situation he is allowed to function under the rules that are in place for assistant coach.

Robinson is over 80 years old. Today’s recruits have probably never heard of him. Adding him to the staff probably had very little or nothing to do with recruiting.

quote:Probably not. But the inside track to top kids is through their HS coach. They ALL know who Robinson is.
Do current recruits even know who he is?
And doubtful Robinson ever speaks with a California recruit. But opening doors through HS coaches is valuable - both with top rated recruits, and with finding the rising young athletes at the middle school level. Long before they hit any of the recruiting services. HC's at top high school programs know who the are.

This is a reach.
Folks who remember Robinson coaching are in their late 60's or older.

I'm surprised Lincoln Riley hasn't hired Barry Switzer to help him out at OU.

No way, because Tom Herman will follow suit and hire Fred Akers! It's an old school arms race.
