asssistant coaches???

[hamsam]

Does anyone know how many of HDN's former assistant coaches have gone on to have success when they left here for a position elsewhere? Whether it be as a head coach, coordinator or assistant?
Should that not be a sort of a measuring stick for the quality of the coaches we have?

[hamsam]

those were before my time i guess. i do remember watching us whip #1Texas in 81 or 82. that is about as far back as I go memorywise

[Since 1894]

Lets see, Keith Burns left to become head coach at Tulsa - that didn't work out.
John Thompson left to become DC at Florida under Spurrier and then became head coach at ECU.  That didn't work out and he is back with Spurrier at USC as DC.
Dave Womack was "let go" and is now with USC.
Madre Hill was a grad assist. (I think) and now is the running back coach at USC.

Who else has there been?

[mikeirwin]

Burns got fired at Tulsa as head coach and is an assistant at San Jose St.
Thompson did well at Florida as DC, got fired at East Carolina as head coach and is currently at South Carolina as DC.
Fitz Hill was fired at San Jose St as head coach.
Keopple is a HS head coach.
Ealy went to Fayetteville HS and came back to Arkansas. I don't know what happened to
Pugh but I don't think it was anything special.
Lee is with the Cowboys.
There is another DL line coach who went to the pros but I can't remember his name.

Mike I think it was Johnson.

[Since 1894]

Didn't someone else go to the Dallas Cowboys the same year as David Lee?

[hamsam]

from what i am reading from all of you guys, I am not seeing much success with maybe Lee as the exception. Wait a minute, the Cowgirls stink this year don't they?

I guess my point is that I always hear of these current and former, very successful coaches that have ties to U of A as assistants or GA's. I think if we could get that going again, things would turn for the better.

I agree with that and I think that begins with stability with your head coach.  I think most of the former assists. left for larger programs.  I think that is a positive.

[Since 1894]

I forgot about Joe Ferguson.  He is still here in NWA working for Lindsey as a commercial RE agent.

[Bomis Hawg]

Isn't his name Kacy Rogers?  I thought he was the guy prior to Rocker.

[Since 1894]

BINGO - we have a winner.  I have not checked yet, is he still with the Cowboys?

[hamsam]

I forgot about him(Ferguson) too. Why did he leave?

[Porquemada]

Mike I think it was Johnson.

Was it Bill Johnson ? For some reason this name came to mind.

[mikeirwin]

That's it.

We do need stability, absolutely. That is why I just can't get on the FIRE NUTT bandwagon.
Part of me thinks Nutt hurt himself with the Nebraska and LSU things. I think that if I had been in his shoes, I would have had to go on to Nebraska. He took it so far, I was suprised he did not go. He probably now wishes he would have.

[Bomis Hawg]

Kacy Rogers and David Lee are both with the Cowboys still.  Tony Bua is on their practice squad now.

CORRECTION - when I said that most of the assits. left for larger programs, I meant either larger programs or better jobs at smaller programs.  Obviously Burns leaving for Tulsa is NOT (or it wasn't) a move to a larger program, it was a move UP in the food chain.

I almost made that correction myself. I knew what you meant though. Anyway, I am not about to correct someone who has been around since 1894.

Yea, thanks for those kind words.  I feel like I am that old but I am not.  1894 was the first year we had a fb team.

What's Next?

I know the significance of 1894. I was just attempting to be a little humerous, hence the

Is that the device that you use to seek out new partners for yourself!! If so, thanks for the offer, but I'm not interested!

Don't forget Fitz Hill....He is working 3rd shift at Mickey D's in Orange County Calf.

Fitz Hill is currently at OBU, I have found him to be a good man, a great recruiter, and hopefully will return to the razorbacks in the near future :razorback:
