Oklahoma State taps on alot of recruits from Texas correct? So the Texas connections should be there. He has experience in the west and south so that fits the bill.down2tradition wrote:My thoughts exactly! Probably still has some decent relationships down there and has a wealth of different experiences.ifuwant2 wrote:Looks like a pretty good coach for our needs.

Re: Possible New Coach?
But he'd only been at Ok State for one recruiting cycle, yes? Sure it's some experience, but only a little. Better than none though.
Edit: My bad, it was most likely 2 cycles. So that's getting somewhere.

Re: Possible New Coach?
This is an excellent blend. Arroyo has experience at the Pro level with QB's/WR's as well as OC experience. Doesn't hurt that he might provide or enhance our vertical game with what he picked up at OSU and his time with Tedford and the Buc's. Norcal & Texas Connections. Craig has excellent ties throughout the south and credibility with the kids. Arroyo and Cristobal work on game planning, WT calls the plays and we recruit like MF's. Can't wait.scoducks wrote:Yes, I am willing to entertain the possibility of your source. As 5$ said, this is the only place that has started he is a possibility going forward. Reading through his credentials he seems to be a good X and O's type of coach. Offensive staff would be pretty good with him and Craig5$ wrote:I'm willing to entertain the possibility your friend is right. Haven't heard it from anywhere else, so this is probably a pretty good test. Does he have anything to say about Dameyune Craig?Madsduck wrote:I don't want to sound like an a$$ but I really can't say. My friend told me about Taggart before I heard it from anyone else and was also right about Leavitt. I trust him and just wanted to pass along the info. He doesn't know the exact role he is being considered for. He can coach WRs or QBs, he has experience with both.scoducks wrote:Well if he is being considered, he does have a good track record with receivers if that will be the role. Keenan Allen, Marvin Jones, and James Jones. Also a pretty good track record working with QBs. He does have some connections in Oregon. In his bio it says his wife used to play volleyball at Southern Oregon. I guess I can see it happening. Out of curiosity if you don't mind me asking. Where did you hear this?

Craig is almost a done deal unless something drastic happens at the last minute.

Re: Possible New Coach?
According to a tweet from Feldman (https://mobile.twitter.com/BruceFeldman ... 0452561920) Arroyo is on his way here to be the PGC/QB coach. So big props to Madsduck for his intel.
This also means that Taggart must have decided he wants Craig to coach WRs. My guess would be he becomes the other OC in order to actually get him here.

At this point there isn't a lot of options for Craig. Before he wanted say to much money, but now that he's been fired, and our WR coach left it seems the price might be right for him.DuckedOut wrote:According to a tweet from Feldman (https://mobile.twitter.com/BruceFeldman ... 0452561920) Arroyo is on his way here to be the PGC/QB coach.

According to his OSU bio his wife played volleyball at Southern Oregon prior to a transfer to San Jose State. Wonder if her family is in the area.DuckedOut wrote:According to a tweet from Feldman (https://mobile.twitter.com/BruceFeldman ... 0452561920) Arroyo is on his way here to be the PGC/QB coach.

Re: Possible New Coach?
According to his bio, Chow is part Chinese, Portugese, and Hawaiian. Not sure why people thought he was Japanese when his last name is a very common Chinese surname.
