New O Line Coach
- Thread starter Chescat
- Start date
Experienced guy who has coached some good OLs. Peterson was obviously pushed out, so HCPN must think it is an upgrade. Peterson was known as a pretty good recruiters, so we might take a slight hit there, but if there is any position you can focus on a tactician and not a recruiter, it is OL coach. Time will tell how the fit is (especially for a guy who has kind of job hopped) but it seems like a pretty good hire.
We have to get a top recruiter for the open spot, though. Recruiting has to be a priority.
HCPN does it... YET AGAIN. Not only does he get coaches with footprints in FL, TX, and MI, but now the dmv. God almighty I fully expect our recruiting to jump into the top 20 next year. Who needs the wpial BUMS!? The talent is no longer here we need too expand are reach and that’s exactly what HCPN has done. Bravo hire!!!
Our OL has been less then good for too long. Recruiting has been mediocre but even the talent we land never seems to develop. A change was needed and this guy seems to be an improvement.......we hope. For OL, development is vastly more important than recruiting hyped HS kids.
I coached with Joe Moore for 5 years and Dan Radakovich was my mentor.
If Coach Borberly uses the techniques that Joe and bad Rad used then coach Borberly will do fine. We shall see! Motivation is important as well. Put the 2 together and our lineman could be very successful. Best of luck to the new coach!

I'm not sure what Borbely teaches but I would love to see more of LeCharles Bentley's training techniques at Pitt or at least something similar.
My biggest question is why did Maryland put him out to pasture after one year? Was he unable to meet the demands of the job being 59? Did he have health issues? It seems odd that he would be demoted and assigned to an off field job after one season.
This is not accurate. 1st our Oline has been pretty good since Chryst second year up until last year.
Just look at all our best offensive lineman over the years. Biz, Nix, Johnson, Thomas, Pinkston, Clemmons, Jacobson, Bookster. Everyone was a 4 star with a great offer list.
Recruiting talent is much more important
The best OL Coach in football is Dante Scarnecchia. How old is he?
Time will tell on Borbely, but thanks for checking Nitter.
Talent is always first and foremost. Without it technique isn't going to matter, but OL is probably one of the more technique driven positions. Also its one position which is really hard to evaluate at the High school level. Lots of underrated guys slip through because they weren't finished growing/changed positions etc etc.
He also coaching in the NFL where you not putting in hours dealing with recruiting. You are not constantly texting or calling recruits. Your not traveling all across the country recruiting. You are right that time will tell but it is a red flag.

It sounds like we made a good hire.

Durkin has a bit of a reputation as a slave driver with his assistant coaches. He's a really young coach who is coaching for his next job. Mike London could've went anywhere and chose Howard. Quality of life is really important in that industry.
Borberly is a good coach who can recruit. It's good that there is some continuity with Watson.
