I already don't miss him.
he did so well at other places with JH.
why was it such a struggle here?
His previous Offensive Coordinator experience was at San Diego.
Since then, TE coach at Stanford, OL at Stanford, OL with 49ers, Running Game Coordinator/OL at USC, then OC at Michigan.
It's another Brady Hoke type situation. Hoke and by most accounts Drevno are good position coaches. That's their ceiling. Just as guys like Norv Turner and Dick LeBeau are good coordinators, but bad Head Coaches.
And sometimes the worm eats you. Not a bad fall back, he ain't starving i don't think.
But I'm guessing he took a huge cut in pay and is in a much more expensive area to live.
Someone bought that man a ticket, and it wasn't round trip . . . .
Hmm. Now I'm going to have to revise my based-upon-absolutely-nothing conspiracy theories of why Wheatley left.
Wow. Michigan reeeaaaally wanted him gone. I kinda feel bad for him, his rep is in tatters.
I wonder why.....
And with this demotion he won't be able to afford that island in French Indonesia he was planning on buying.....
French Indonesia?
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
German East Africa.
Kitaiski tsentralni Ogaio.
Chinesisch Zentral was?
Worüber redest du, Willis?
Bold move by the frenchies....
....right afters the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!
I assume he means French Indochina.
I always liked that the European colonialists were so racist and ignorant of their "subjects" that they just said: "You know, these people don't look quite Indian, but they aren't quite Chinese either. Shall we call this place Indochina? Yes, yes we shall..."
Yes, well...history is full of such tomfoolery.
Referring to all of Asia and the Middle East as 'the Orient".
but they did subjugate pretty much an entire continent with an army about the size of your average U.S. Army regiment.
Divide and conquer--the Spanish had native allies....and swiftly betrayed them once they'd served their purpose.
piss you off as well? I mean besides the fact that it's home to the Golden Domers.
Been there..........one of the great vacation spots in the world except that the natives seem to have an identity crisis almost daily.
Oh well, Dilly Dilly.
Wow--he's not even working with the oline. Maybe he'll get "Associate Head Coach" with that to save face.
Helton has something else in mind.
Maybe run game coordinator without the title. Depending on the terms of his buyout, they could have reasons not to give Drevno any title beyond assistant coach.
That hurts! I really thought he would have been fine concetrating on the OL here. And thought for sure he'd get an OL job somewhere. Never thought he'd be such a failed look that he'd have to settle for RB coach. I wish him well, but I hope his new team forever sucks. I'm no fan of USC!
There probably aren't a lot of OL coaching positions still open I think Drevno did well finding that in March. USC must have been at or near the top of his preferred destinations.
Was not on here at the time, but knew as soon as Warriner was hired, he would be gone. We upgraded in a huge way. I think he is to nice of a guy to be coaching the o-line and always hated his interveiws. Everybody was doing great and progressing, except that was not what I was seeing from the o-line at all. Our o-line needs to upgrade it's aggressiveness tenfold. I truly hope Warriner is more old school like Zordich. Grahm Glasgow played some nice ball, but have not been impressed with a Michigan o-lineman since Lewan and neither has the NFL.
The o-line sets the tone for your team, especially in college ball. I watched an o-line stand around why two QB's went to the hospital. Way to passive. I guess I got to used to guy's like Everitt, Elliot and Hutchinson.
Big difference between Mattison's and Drevno's lines. Big difference in caliber of coaches. Hope Warriner lives up to the billing, because Michigan used to pump out All-americans with regularity from their o-lines.
It died out fast. I suspect it was just people trying to connect rumors of Drevno leaving to a possible landing spot and Vandy was a logical one.
who is tim devno?
