Head Coach Scott Cochran

...thoughts?

 

[mizzippi jb]

I'm guessing this is hypothetical?

he's pushing for it

 

[mizzippi jb]

I wouldn't think he would be too good a head coach. But then again I don't pay a whole lot of attention to what coaches do other than the HC and the O and D coords

Since this is his first season as an on-field coach, I'd say it's a little premature. Of course, if someone like Vandy wants to take a chance and hire him as HC, that's their decision.

Nope.
Outstanding strength and conditioning coach but one season as a Special Teams Coach under his belt. This would be a disaster.

 

[Ruger#3]

Awwwwwwe go for it. What’s the worst that could happen, finish the year without a N.C.

 

[westcobbdog]

He's a good coach but we can always find another guy if he leaves. Hope it happens for him.

 

[RipperIII]

I don't think that there is any way possible that he is prepared for a HC position, particularly in the SEC...and it has zero to do with x's and o's or motivation.
Recruiting, organizing staff, budgeting, alumni interaction, organizing and over seeing practice in all phases.
He's learned from the best without doubt...but has zero experience...maybe he could start with high school...

He is wanting the Vanderbilt job.

And Dabo was named the "interim" head coach at Clemson... Now look at him..


Stranger things have happened..

 

[RipperIII]

Dabo was the OC

Cochran is ...first year special team coach...

 

[BamaGeorgialine]

I think that if he was any kind of knowledgeable coach, Saban would have kept him. I know that the Dawgs were happy to get him but I believe Saban was wanting to move forward in a different direction. Seems to be working. They didn't lost nine players to injury before the season even started this year last years past

OL is actually lighter, quicker and more athletic than last year...and strong...

Cochran needs To be looking at somewhere like South Alabama For his start. No way he is SEC head coaching material at this point.

No. Dabo was not the O.C. Dabo was receivers coach.

Different game but Andy Reid was quarterback coach and John Harbaugh was a special teams coach when they were hired as head coaches. They turned out ok.
