i thought I saw a photo of him, and he had this massive tattoo on his right arm.... don't know how well that would sit with the traditional folk..... its one thing when the players have them, but to the old school guys, quite another when the coaches have them. I couldnt care less, btw.

I'm sure the AD can get him a Michigan / Go Blue sleeve, could become a new fashion statement like the fab fives's baggy long shorts....
About to get down voted by the "Hey kid, get off my lawn crowd" in 5..4..3..2..1..

I've been plenty hammered more than once, but I can't imagine being this wasted. Dude's lucky he didn't break his neck.

If HS coaches in NJ detest Partridge as much as portrayed in the media, then his presence on Michigan's staff won't automatically mean we clean up in NJ.

a coach for supposedly poaching a few players from a couple of the other Catholic school powers? NJ is a pretty big state.
Rutgers backed off because they regularly recruit players from those rival coaches. Presumably they heard complaints directly from them. No doubt, some were also jealous of his being a position coach at Rutgers.
There's not a lot of similarities between that and his having a non-coaching job here. He might help bring in Gary or other Paramus kids. Who was the last player we got from another NJ school? There isn't much for us to lose.

You mean "NJ is a very small state."
Right?
Cause it's tiny. You knew that right? Right?

even if we often disagree. NJ has about 9 million people. I don't consider that small, especially in the context of one HS coach. There are a few strong programs that compete with Paramus. We neve get any of their players as it is. I don't see there's much potential for harm. You're right that there's not a ton a talent there. Getting one top player is better than our normal expectations.

I really hate that this guy keeps getting cited when all he does is rip stuff off of other premium message boards and posts it on Twitter.
This particular tidbit he stole from Scout as it was posted there over 2 hours ago.
But yes, seems like this is true and will help with Rashan Gary.

"Teddy Blanks" steals from message boards and makes educated guesses. This hire has been rumored for the last week.
January 31st, 2015 at 6:10 PM ^
- Elite coaching staff
- NFL-level S&C staff
- Support staff that now includes a guy with strong East Coast ties in addition to the DoPP that we already have that has done great in Chris Singletary
- This guy is our Director of Ops-
At this rate even the Team Nutritionist is going to be elite.

He will help us win the mother of all recruting battles.
January 31st, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
The Brady family should be coming in a few years.
January 31st, 2015 at 6:20 PM ^

as a last name.

Cindy would get tired.

More likely they arrive in a Rolls limo

Laurie Partridge was kinda hot
January 31st, 2015 at 8:03 PM ^
Especially when she was nekked in a bunch of films post-Partridge.
January 31st, 2015 at 8:12 PM ^
Agreed, but what about Marcia Brady? This was the Ginger vs. Mary Ann dilemma....

He looks pretty serious in this photo

I'm not sure why a highly rated HS coach would take this type of downgraded role, though.
January 31st, 2015 at 7:43 PM ^
Yes that is the guy. There is a bit of hyperbole on the thread. Let me know the next time a recruit commits to a school because the equivalent of Dwight Schrute was hired. He is not even the recruiting coordinator (let me know the next time a recruit commits due to Chris Singletary being the RC) - he is the assistant to the assistant of Chris Singletary from what it sounds like.
I would actually be WORRIED if he was recruiting NJ for us as an assistant coach based on the reptuation that preceded him and the fact Rutgers which knows better than anyone about the NJ marketplace got rid of him so quickly.
It might help for a short while (2 classes) for guys at his specific HS - maybe - but that's about it.

The thing is, the Rutgers AD is a prime candidate for George Costanza's "opposite" theory right now. I mean, their track record - especially with regard to decision making by execs in the AD - is at Brandon levels.. So if Rutgers passed on him, I'm thinking that we should be like George, and whatever Rutgers does, just do the exact opposite.
February 1st, 2015 at 3:26 AM ^
The Rutgers AD is such a tire fire that you can't take anything they do seriously.

Another interpretation of "he has pissed off other NJ HS coaches" is that "he attacks his job with enthusiasm unknown to mankind".
