Don't get me wrong, I will give them chances, but like I said in another thread, you go off odds. Odds are these guys will not be winners, and these signings are not smart. I will reserve my judgement until I see them coaching.
Hey we all want this work out, but if DS intentions were to lower expectations, well, mission accomplished.

So a coach who takes a school that hasn't had much success since '69-'71 to three consecutive 8 win seasons in the last three years, has his team ranked in the top 15 in the country, has an offense that is ranked in the top eight in the country in total offense and scoring in the last three seasons, set school records for points (49.0/game) and total offense (512.8 yards/game), and has recruiting classes with three All-America selections and (31) first team All-conference picks, including a league-best 23 over the last two seasons doesn't deserve a chance as an offense assistant, not a position coach, an offensive assistant.....

I don't think you were referring to me directly since I was not that harsh about the signing, but just in case you were:
Like I have explained in another thread, had this been a signing for a Gibbs run team, I'd have no beef taking the chance. However, Zorn has no experience, and he is hiring people with no experience.
You say His team ranked top 15 in the country, well, that is not true...his team was a D3 team, so it ranked below the 120 or so D1 schools, and however many D2 schools there are. So he really ranked closer to 200 or so in the country.
I am not debating he did a good job with his team. There have been many high school teams that have had good coaches too, does that mean we hire them too? Again, my problem isn't with him as much as it is with Zorn. We need to hire people with experience to surround Zorn to help compliment where Zorn lacks. Zorn would have been a good choice for OC, but not HC. That's where my comments stem from.

ps- you need to ask yourself if this guy was so good, why was he at St. Olaf?

[KLHJ2]

I just got a call from Zorn. I am going to be the new OC. No experience past High School whatsoever, but I do know the offensive playbook for DeMatha. Besides, I slept at a Holiday Inn last night. Thats because my wife wouldn't let me back in the house after getting trashed on a Monday night. But, I am the right man for the job. (Complete Sarcasim).

jeez are we really nitpicking an offensive assistant??

[JoeRedskin]

Let's hope this is an indication that Meidt is this year's Chris Wilson.

I, for one, am hoping on the Meidt Wagon!

[sandtrapjack]

Nice posts on this guy. Informative to say the least.

I guess the best course it to be optimistic but skeptical.
