Auburn hires NFL veteran Rich Bisaccia as running backs, special teams and assistant head coach

It's like riding a bike I'm sure, but that track record wouldn't exactly wow me.

Fred Jackson was a QB coach before he switched to RB coach at Michigan, though I will admit that there are probably more parallels there.

They made him assistant head coach as a "promotion" and have him more administrative duties rather than offensive ones.

I'm saying that it's not a big recruiting inducement. The better parallel would be if Fred Jackson took a job at LSU as a QB coach and someone was worried they'd look a quarterback recruit because of it. Neither guy has produced anyone from that position in a long time.

Hasnt he stated several times tha he wants to play in a pro style offense? Regardless of who coaches the RBs at Auburn, they are still going to run the spread. I still say advantage Michigan.

Meh, they were always going to have somebody coach the position, and a guy whose last stop was as a special teams coach for a failing team doesn't scare me from a recruiting perspective, NFL or no. Green doesn't fit with Auburn's new system and this hire doesn't change that either.

You can't compare different kids in different situations. Green has said he wants to play in a pro style. I know Dunn said the same, but he was already committed to OSU.

I have a hard time believing that Auburn's hiring of a guy who probably has never met Green before, with whom he has no relationship and can't legally forge one for some time, would sway a kid to a tire-fire program, regardless of his "pedigree" as a special teams coach in the NFL.  Mattison was a DC in the NFL, for a pretty good defense, and it wasn't like kids immediately flipped their commitment when he was announced.

Said your friends were dumb.

Seriously though, I don't see how this hire would sway Green, or how anyone could make that claim.  Derrick Green can come to Michigan, start from day one, and be a first-round draft pick after winning the Heismann Trophy as a junior.

Why?  We play a pro style offense and have recruited the best OL talent in the country, along with one of the best QBs in the country.  Why would he go Auburn where he has to compete with other talented RBs who are more suited to a system he doesn't want to play?

Thank you, Coach Hoke, for bringing Michigan back.
