CW - Steve Loney rumors...

[cyrocksmypants]

Sorry man. Nothing personal. I just saw "CW" in the title and it caught my eye. I try to respond as much as I can to people.

Thanks for recognizing me, statistically speaking, the best poster on the website. Appreciated.

 

[DeereClone]

What did you mean in your original post when you said something like "why he sucks so hard now" ???

@SpokaneCY care to answer?

There's quantity, which any fool can provide, and then there's quality.

He is most likely coaching the coaches, in other words lending his experience on handling certain situations (blocking techniques and adjustments). This sort of thing is mainly a planning thing, in other words he's watching film with the offensive staff and lending his wisdom. He is most likely not on the headset giving advice during the game but more giving it directly to the sideline coaches if he sees something.

You can have as many consultants as you are willing to pay. You watch some of these games every week and they show the coaches box and it's packed full of coaches and consultants.

THANK YOU!!!!! If kudos are still a thing - you can have one.

 

[SpokaneCY]

@SpokaneCY care to answer?

Yeah - unnecessary glibness. I think we are INCHES (and an every down back) away from turning the offense loose. All the stats are there, we just need to minimize the crucial mistakes which CMC has consistently done in his tenure here.

 

[SpokaneCY]

You don’t get it, spokane demands and deserves answers!!!!

I'd settle for "request".

Loney retired from the Cowboys a few years ago and moved back to central Iowa to be near his family. Campbell has an open arm policy to former players and coaches. He also greatly respect's Loney and his extensive resume, specifically with what he's done in the NFL. He is not on the staff in any official capacity and does not actually coach players, but is often a guy Matt will go to for advice on X's and O's matters. That's the gist of it, based off of what I know.

This was all I was looking for. In my OP I glibly used "suck" and failed to alert anyone to my sarcasm. Don't waste your time looking at my past posts, but I'm a dyed-in-the-wool sunshine pumper for CMC and staff. I also think it's interesting how wide the nets are cast to make this program shine.

 

[RotatingColumn]

Wasn’t there some who thought he was gonna be the HC someday like 20 years ago?

Yeah I think CF was created so people could post about Loney after losses.

 

[NickTheGreat]

I'm a conspiracy theory guy, but is it possible that Loney showed up in Waco at about 4:00 last Saturday?

Has Loney offered any assistance on LB play when they are playing the Spy? We are not very good at that. Poor angles, a step late, getting blocked, engaging blocks, etc.....i get it, they make a lot of plays, but they really have 1 objective. That said Mcelvain and brewer were tuff outs.

Bump and Edit to include stats:

@cyrocksmypants shows with 57,234 posts and 44,964 "positives" for a percentage of positives to total of 78.56%--very impressive. He is a quality poster.

@SCyclone has a total of 6,466 posts and 8,540 "positives" for a percentage of 132.08!! Pound-for-pound @SCyclone is statistically superior.

If I have 100 dollars and 95 of them are 1s, that’s a really good percentage. But I’d rather have 10,000 dollars with only 8000 1s.

I'm flattered, Athos. But as a poster, I'm still relatively new....and I don't think I'm quite at Pants' level. At least not yet. Heck, I haven't even made a @cyclones500 "post of the month" yet!

And humble too!!!

But maybe Pants will tell us he is a lot more humble.

This is great!
Any coaching help from the Mac years, to help break this team from their offensive slump, I'm in favor of!

 

[JRE1975]

Did he travel to Waco? Clearly the offense needs all the help they can get so I don't see any problems with having more experienced guys around. It makes me like Campbell more because he is at least willing to have these guys around and listen to them.

Yes he was there on the sideline.

His name was mentioned both after McCarney as well as Cheez-whiz. As others have said, when he was on our staff we had zero problem running the football. Helluva coach. It never got to the point where people actually thought he was going to get hired, but many would have been ok with the hire, including myself.

It might not have worked out, but the problem wouldn't have been coaching.

Shocking, tornadoman felating the Mac year’s all while forgetting that mac’s offenses weren’t known for being that impressive.

Without doing much investigative journalism of my own, I would imagine the answer would look something like this:

"Coach Matt Campbell has brought on Steve Loney, a former offensive coordinator under Dan McCarney, in an advisory role with his primary duties being development of the offensive line. When reached for comment, Coach Campbell had the following to say: "I think very highly of Coach Loney, and when I learned he was available and willing to help us out I jumped on the opportunity. Coach Loney has been developing offensive lines for decades and his experience will help us immensely."

What else do you expect? Dig up that Coach Loney, after coaching, took up a second life as a Pentacostal minister in southern Louisiana? That he started his own dance academy for little girls? That he's quietly gaining support from within to overthrow Matt Campbell as head coach?

He's a guy on the sideline helping with our offensive line. That's the story.

Did you do your due journalism diligence and check his twitter account?

In college there is a limit on the number of official coaches you can have. However, as @isufbcurt said, you can have as many "consultants" or "non-coach analysts" as you want. Those guys can do basically anything except instruct players. Bama has a bunch of them. For a while, it was a thing for coaches fired due to scandal to become a Bama football analyst for a few years and reemerge as a "blessed by Saban football god." Former USC coach Steve Sarkisian did it recently, and former Tennessee coach Butch Jones is doing it now.
