Under Hoke, Michigan's defense went from 110th in the nation to ranking within the top 17 in three of his four seasons. For his final season, the Wolverines were ranked seventh nationally, allowing 311.3 yards a game.

Will they have to retool / change scheme ?

Wonder how this hire affects recruiting

Ugghh

It is a good hire

Excellent hire.

Wonder what the terms are ? 900k?

It'll come out but I have to believe that figure is high.

Exactly he had to be making 2-3 million at um

Yup. And Oregon doesn't pay huge sums for Coordinators. Esp. If he's being paid by Michigan at this point.

dang....

Brady Hoke has more football and recruiting knowledge in his pinkie than I have but, from listening to him on the Sirius XM show he co-hosted, he sounded real old-timey and past his prime. I remember thinking his coaching days were done. But what do I know?

We bump up coaches pay ... And get passed up again ughh

Well, Cal's D was good enough that they didn't have make changes, so they have that going for them!!!
Okay, sarcasm aside: the Ducks seemed to handle this so it wouldn't hurt recruiting, because, IIRC Pellum is a solid recruiter, and he is still on the staff.

The Ducks have the longest tenured staff in the PAC. They lose a Tedford or a Frost to promotion but they tend to keep the larger staff intact. Pellum's recruiting chops and willingness to stay and lead the LB's was the other important piece. As was said on another site, they've made a significant move and we've done jack so far... Time will tell but the lack of movement is (potentially) very concerning.

gonna give Sonny the benefit of the doubt that we will have some staff changes too, but not holding my breath.

think it's more likely Tommerdahl and Chach both get raises with that 500k pool increase

well just being realistic

can't get entire staff middling pay AND a bigtime hire with just a 500k increase. I'd be content swapping out Tommerdahl and one more, and get everyone else more competitively paid.

Yeah I know and agree. The notion of those two getting it all was just nauseating...

But scheme / Re tooling ...?

How will ducks adjust??

$500,000 is chump change in the business of NCAA football. The system will soon collapse from the excessive greed and corruption, I hope.

:gobears:

Oregon must pay these guys a boatload...both in salary and perks. How many places promote a long standing defensive coach to DC, give him 2 years, demote him and keep him?

They are going to change from a 3-4 scheme to a 4-3. Hoke has a proven history as a HC of having progressively better defenses. He is weaker on the offensive side which, I'm sure you'll agree, is the Ducks forte..

Okay thanks

Pellum is an Oregon diehard. also commands a lot of respect at Lb

He's not a die-poor Oregon guy. I'll bet they're giving him a lot of money to demote him but have him stay and recruit and coach for them. I bet Buh is a better LB coach than who we have now. Any chance we could have kept Andy after we demoted/fired him? Even Andy had to see that he wasn't cutting it as a DC...again. >sigh<

Yep. He's to Oregon what Lupoi should have been for us.

UofA also picking up a good recruiter. official now ...

Yuck beck likes him... He will be problematic

not just Beck apparently. recruits seem to connect with him, and Donte has been involved for most all of SJSU's best pickups, including a 3* LB from powerhouse Serra.

guys in recruiting circles think highly of him as well.


Greg Biggins:

"Have already had 4 committed players tell me they wish they would have known Donte was going PAC-12 before they committed #differencemaker"

"Going to be fun seeing what Donte Williams can do in PAC-12-very good evaluator, tireless worker, really connects with kids/parents #Arizona"

Cal needs more of these
