New DL coach -- Terry Bradden Jr.

Still can’t believe they did that. Did they really expect a G5 team transitioning to a P5 conference to be elite in one season with all G5 talent? We got so unbelievably lucky to hire him. In a year he’ll be a HC again, or definitely could be. He has mentioned in several press conferences how much he loves not dealing with the other stresses of being a HC and just being able to sit, watch film, and game plan. I think that’s why we’re seeing more and more former successful HC’s becoming coordinators again

DH could chill as an OC for the rest of his career. He already got his generational bag of cash from Houston. Guys who get to this level are exceptionally ambitious and competitive though, so I suspect his agent and his ego will convince him to take another $50 to $100 million bag and give head coaching another go.

He absolutely will, according to Husker Online he has aspirations to be a head coach again
 
Rhule says he wants to be elite in every area. That means top 16 recruiting in CFP era. That means coaches that are elite in building relationships. Rhule must believe TBJ has the ability to convert those things into Ws.

As far as experience with teaching and Xs and Os I am guessing Rhule/Butler have a good idea where they fit. Much like Donnie, a guy that was an NFL assistant line coach and hadn't recruited. Donnie has us light years from where they were when Frost was here.
Donnie closed the deal on Brix and Taumua (sp?).

Here's hoping that TBJ has that Mickey Joseph elite relationship recruiting tools.

I am not comparing Bradden to McGuire whatsoever. I am commenting on the fact that the post I responded to suggested that having coaching and recruiting experience is not necessarily indicative of success.

Bradden comes to NU with an NFL pedigree, I find that intriguing and probably very important. But he does NOT have recruiting experience. As I stated in my post, recruiting experience may not be as important as it was 20 years ago

He may not have recruiting experience per se, but I'd argue that he indeed does have most of the prequisite interpersonal skills that good recruiters have. He has concern for others, an engaging personality, a long history of commitment to an organization. He's run camps and clinics for youths in underprivileged areas and done other things for youths that many in his profession choose not to do in their discretionary time.

Here's one example of the stuff he's been involved in: https://footballscoop.com/news/thro...assistant-finds-way-to-give-back-to-his-roots.

“What I want to do is every morning wake up and find a way to give back to young men,” Bradden told FootballScoop. “I prayed on it, and that path was coaching.

“It’s always big for me to give back to my community, where I’m from, to show young men and really everyone you can find a way to do what you love.”

After drawing a crowd of some 60 coaches at last year’s inaugural event, Bradden, T.E.A.M. Elam and the others involved this year are anticipating more than 100 coaches to be on hand, and they reiterate that all proceeds – including some fundraising work they’ve been doing – will be directly reinvested into the Riviera Beach community.

“This is our way of just giving back,” Bradden said.

There are other examples, but I won't take up bandwidth posting them here. I guess I feel like he's done a bunch of volunteer "recruiting" to keep kids involved in sports and an organization for the betterment of the kids. So even though his current job does not require recruiting, per se, he's done that in successful ways on his own time for his camps, clinics, etc. That may be his interest in social work coming through (he has his degree in SW).

There are positive people and negative people.

Positive people are usually willing to give things a chance, see how things turn out before passing judgement.

Negative people are like vegans they just want everyone else to feel as crappy as they do.

I'm a vegan and I feel great. I was told the other day by someone that I was the most upbeat person they have ever been around. I never judge anyone for what they eat or call them out for how they eat (most vegans like me don't) Quit labeling people when you know nothing about it.

Actually I know and have met a few vegans. I guess the ones I have met were not like you, for the most part they couldn't stand sports, too many animal by products being used.

I eat primarily vegan and try to adhere to a “Whole Foods/plant based diet”. I don’t eat vegan for “moral” or philosophical reasons, but rather, for my health. I have a particular health problem (it’s personal) that makes it in my best interest to eat a primarily vegan/plant-based diet. I’m not in any way morally opposed to the consumption or use of animal products. My daughter and grand-daughters live on a farm and raise all of their animal protein for food including poultry, eggs, pork and lamb. I strongly support their efforts to be in control of raising and producing their own food supply. I am a bee-keeper in my spare time and strongly support the use of natural honey as a sweetener for its immune properties and its lower glycemic index than refined sugar. In no way do I judge people who eat meat in any negative light. In fact, I’m kind of envious and crave meat just as much as anyone else.

My point is that not all “vegans” eat vegan for the same reason. Not all vegans are opposed to other people eating meat. And not all vegans project a “holier than thou” attitude regarding their lack of consumption of animal products. I’m just trying to live my life”best life” and I know that you probably are, too.

I guess I see the vegan diet as just a small part of what many consider the vegan lifestyle. I knew of a guy looking to find a way to livetrap roaches so he could move them before the exterminator came to spray the apartments.

When I think diet I think vegetarian which can vary quite a bit from person to person. When I think vegan I think a lifestyle that adheres to no use of any animal products of any kind.

You'd be in the minority of that. Congrats
