Who are Woody's Top candidates for D line coach?

[ramblin_man]

I would presume that we should be looking for guys with ties to Woody more as CPJ said in his presser that he wouldn't hire someone to be the cook and not allow them to buy the groceries (rough paraphrase). If this is true shouldn't we be primarily basing our guesses around who Woody would like to have at that critical position? Just my 2 cents. I would also like to know who it is by the way sooner rather than later.

Good guy and an alum, but like @presjacket said he's a 4-3 guy.

If you can coach a 4-3 Dline well you can do the same with a 3-4...and the reverse is also true.

@vamosjackets vouches for him and that with his experience is more than sufficient for me. He may be looking for a DC job though.

Maybe someone from Southern Cal. Woody and a Trojan would fit like hand-in-glove.

Oregon St. sucks but you could always go for a Beaver. Maybe JSU or South Carolina if you want a former gamecock

Or if you want to poach a QB already committed to Washington then none other than Colson Yankoff with a dual threat rating of #4 might work out on offense or defense if he needs to change positions in college if QB doesn't fit well with his skill set.

Imagine a player with last name Yankoff in Johnson's offense or Woody's defense the student section signs would be better than "hot rod" at UGA!

Take note kids, this is how you do a Woody joke

I just hope he doesn’t like to go off half cocked.

Hopefully the defense will get a lot of penetration in 2018

 

[ramblin_man]

Any more news out there about who the staff is targeting for these positions ?

 

[iceeater1969]

Woody cant pick guy named Hancock, weiner, Biggs, etc.

Neighbors last name was Butt . Dr Butt named kids Bonnie , Dougie and rdd head son Arthur, "but" they were bullied by we 8 year old kids with modified names with Bunny Butt, Doggie Butt, and Rusty Butt. People all have a little 8 year old humor in them . SEE ABOVE.

It looks like App State was determined not to lose anymore of their staff to GT. The main two guys Woody may have brought with him recently received promotions and title changes. They just gave Ivey the tittle Assistant Head Coach and defensive line coach and it was announced previously that Brown was named Defensive Coordinator. The HC must have known or was told by Ivey and Brown that they were considered for positions at GT with Woody and leveraged it for pay raises and promotions or the school offered it as leverage to retain them on staff.
The question I have with the title Assistant Head Coach and coaching a position group like defensive line does the Defensive coordinator and co-coordinator get to "grade" you on your performance when you really out rank them with your title "Assistant head coach"? I just think that sharing roles as "Assistant Head Coach or Co-....." anything can be a slippery slope and cause friction amongst the staff as far as rank and order. This could become especially true if you have a dominating personality at a lower position. Thoughts?

Having said that who are our targets?

 

[BigDaddyBuzz]

Wofford is where I’d look

 

[ATL1]

Wofford defensive coordinator Shiel Wood, Spartanburg High grad and former Terriers player, headed to Georgia Tech as safeties coach under DC Nate Woody. Jerome Riase has interviewed as defensive line coach at Tech. Greg Gasparato already gone to App State. Dominoes are falling.

How about Coach Long or Coach Steele?

Our D staff will have more wood in it than the average forest.

 

[ATL1]

Shiel Wood is the safety coach.
Coach Mac will probably move to ILB Coach.
Coach Woody seems to be bringing in coaches he's worked with before instead of vets from bigger programs.

Shiel Wood's bio at Wofford:

Pretty solid resume. He did some good work as DC.
