I love that the program is banking a lot on Ohio with coaching connections and recruiting. It is a very warm welcome from where Tub had us on that front.

As I posted on @BearcatJournal last night, I'm hearing veteran assistant Jon Tenuta is expected to join the new Cincinnati staff. |

Great energy surrounding our football program right now. Very exciting. I was talking to my brother last night, who isn't a UC fan, and he was going on and on about how impressed he is with these early hires. He was like man, makes me wish even more that Marvin Lewis would get fired so the Bengals fans could get a fresh start like this and get re-energized. That's how I feel, re-energized. Things were blah at best and downright terrible at worst around here for too long. I'm so excited to have a competent coaching staff full of experienced coaches who can't wait to recruit and teach.

Al Washington is a great hire for many reasons. Boston College has had a lot of success from local St. X players, so hopefully Al can land some big time players from X and the rest of the GCL.

I'll say this about Fickell, he gets it. He understands that to win at UC you have to be able to recruit the Cincy area (and the rest of Ohio). He is assembling a staff that has proven they can recruit in Ohio. It's refreshing after TT just flat out refused and ignored, almost out of arrogance, to recruit Cincinnati.

I really hope we dominate OH (outside of OSU). I feel kinda bad that I am a little hesitant to go all the way in. Was hoping for a splash DC (I know LF will also coach D). Would have been a nice luxury if Freeman was the LB coach, asst DC. Do we have anyone whom can recruit GA and FL? Someone with JUCO ties? You Fball crazies, what are you hearing? Any former cats gonna be on the staff? Looking forward to hearing about more excellent coaches! Go Cats! Last edited by ZCat; 01-05-2017 at 08:53 PM. |

Coach Fickell is saying and doing all the right things. I don't think he is a coaching prodigy, but he has the respect of a lot of people in the coaching profession and has recruits excited to come here. I am confident he will put the right people in the right positions and recruit at a high level. I haven't been this excited about Cincinnati football since Brian Kelly.

So will the OC run the spread BK ran when he was here? They were grad assistants together at Grand Valley State. Was he part of those national championships? |
