In reply to: ... has never coached a down at any level as DC...the end. *  posted by cj


I'm hoping for the best. Barry Alvarez had experience coaching LBs at Nebraska, I believe. Also, was part of theBlack Shirts there when that meant something. Also the head coaches were a bit more high level than Wake's I'd say so likely that more expertise rubbed off before he came to Lou's staff than for Lea in coming to ND. With Lea seems this is where the similarities with Alvarez end. Maybe Lea will pan out, or not. Hoping the familiar sinking feeling just from the lack of spring weather and not from you know what.


The Alvarez comparison is bogus.

He doesn’t even have Diaco’s creds and people are pinning their hopes on Kelly hitting the powerball with this hire.


Alvarez was at Iowa, not Nebraska.

But that was under Hayden Fry, where he was LB coach for 7 years in a span that included two Rose Bowl appearances.


Yep, Lea spent a yr with Elko at Bowling Green in 2012.

He was then with him again at Wake for a year in '16 and then 1 year at ND. He has not been at any coaching spot for more than 3 years. His build will be learn on the job...


yes, but continuity is important

a barrel. Heaven forbid that we go big game hunting....

PS if Lea has success he’ll be gone faster than Elko. Lastly, if we were after continuity why didn’t we go all out to keep him? A&M vs ND hmmmm


Continuity
