Both seem like young guys with proven success. Really like the adds!

So Jake Waters or Kyle Kempt promoted to QB coach?
We'll find out at halftime of the 49ers game!

This is the hire that is most interesting to me. Because it is one of a few that there isn't an obvious connection to Campbell.
I like that he was a HEAD coach who won a lot of games. There is a skill or mojo or whatever-you-want-to-call-it that goes into winning that goes beyond just scheme and development and prep, et al. Some guys just win, hopefully Langs has that and brings it with him and it is infectious.

Being focused on the process and not being overly fooled by results (which can be random sometimes) is good. But you do still have to focus on results too.

Indiana Wesleyan = Iowa Wesleyan, so clearly he’s the next Mike Leach.


(Do I really need a jimlad?)

One factor no one has mentioned that strikes me about Langs and Poteat, is that we may well have strengthened outer recruiting in Indiana and Pittsburgh.

That would seem to be a non inconsequential factor.
