Word has it that Ogerzook has pushed his ego aside and is now making a run at hiring a defensive coordinator. That alone is some of the best news I've heard since well Peter Mayhew signed on appear in Revenge of the Sith. This is the move that would allow Ogerzook to concentrate on the thing he does best . . . er the thing he does well and recruit. This is the number one best thing that could happen to give us a good team in the next couple of years.
And the news just gets better.
The man he's trying to get is none other than John "Blitz' n" Thompson whose all out blitzing style made him a dynamic coordinator at Arkansas, then at Florida, and then again at South Carolina with Superior along with an unfortunate run as the head coach at East Carolina. He's now serving as the athletic director of the Sugar Bears at his alma mater Central Arkansas. I remember days of living in the basement on my native planet dreaming of his acquisition during the early Cut years. Supposedly he wants to get back into coaching he is just not sure he wants to continue moving around the country.
Come on Ogerzook. This is the sale that will make or break your career.
"Its make the sale or hit the bricks."
