[QUOTE="Cam, post: 525130, member: 568"] I like both of the hires. Continuity is important, especially when Collins' focus early on will likely be on establishing program structure, branding, and recruiting. Regarding Thacker, he seems like a great up and coming coach that had success running Collins' defense. Against Duke, in the first half there was a stretch where Temple had a Pick 6, followed by a 3 and out, followed by another 3 and out, followed by another interception. Though like with most P5 vs G5 matchups, superior P5 depth allows for fresher players in the late game where it got out of hand. In their conference though, Temple was really dominant. As for the offense, Patenaude seems like a good, safe hire. You have to keep in mind that the only older veteran coach on CGC's current staff is his Offensive Coordinator. The fact that he didn't just offer the job to some young innovate mind gives you an idea of his thought process here. He needs a guy who has been around the game long enough to help him with transitioning the offense. Patenaude has been at five different schools as an OC and has dealt with transitioning his offense to the current personnel several times. I don't know if there was a better hire we could have made that we weren't going to get outbid on (e.g. Kenny Dillingham to Auburn). We also don't know the influence that Brent Key might have on the offense if he is indeed hired after the NCG. [/QUOTE]
