I'm just a little leery about taking a D2 OC job over a D1 RB job....but that is just me.
I equate it to working for a small to medium company, then a Fortune 100 company comes calling....
Wish him the best success as I'm not hating....

Actually, he still has WR coach at SCSU in his twitter bio so that's where blue haze must have gotten it from: twitter.com/CoachBarnetteThat's correct.

Wish him the best success as I'm not hating.... To build on his skills as an OC . A Quality OC/DC are always in demand and under consideration when they apply for a head coaching positions.RB coaches not so much. Also most times OC/DC are paid substantially more at the D2 level . In some cases are equal to if not more then what a RB/position coaches make at the FCS D1 level. So I can see his decision being a rational one if he wants to be a head coach someday.

SO it sound like he was not officially hired at SC State I dont know why he would have it on his twitter account. It will be a trip when we play WSSU next year and he will be on the visitor side. I am really surprise they could afford him.

T, we are officially on the clock, if there was ever a MUST win, this is it. Possibly the Barnette revenge game.
If not, we don't want to see the aftemrath

Proof that you can always do worse if you're not careful. A lot of folks wanted Barnette gone but look at us now. 😔
If you want an example of improvement then take a look at the wssu offense.

I gotta be honest.....this discussion pisses me off. Reason why..... 1) Barnette would be getting smoked in the CAA as well. There was nothing complex/complicated about his offense. 2) We are going to beat WSSU by 2-3 TD next year....but frankly, WE SHOULD and by more than that. 3) If we lose to WSSU, are people gonna call for Brown to be dismissed? Seriously, we have no business losing to WSSU, who is not even CIAA good/great. If we cannot beat WSSU, then what do we really think is gonna happen when Delaware, Villanova or a Rhode Island comes rolling into town? 4) WSSU is 4-3 in the CIAA and 4-5 overall....yet we really think Barnette would be some type of CAA-difference maker?
I don't even understand the importance of this thread. Barnette WAS NOT a quality FCS OC.....Chris Young IS NOT a quality FCS OC. Comparing 2 incapable OC's to argue which is the more capable OC is frankly asinine.
Another thing, if Chris Young has our starting QB throw for a 300 yd game vs WSSU next year.....the same folks complaining about him now would be the same ones praising him......AND FOR WHAT? Beating WSSU is what we're supposed to do. When you play lesser competition, our players SHOULD look like NFL draft picks in that particular game. I'm worried about how our offense will look THE GAME AFTER WINSTON next year (ie. when we play legitimiate FCS competition).
Our offense was not good vs legit FCS competition last year (Barnette) Our offense stinks vs legit FCS competition this year (Young) Our offense looks marginal-at-best vs substandard FCS competition this year (Young)
....and we really want to make astute comparisons between 2 substandard OC's I DON'T GET IT.....

If you actually have any desire to get it, I feel Decks broke it down pretty well in a mere two sentences. If you don't get his simple explanation, insert shrug emoji here.
Are we still last in the nation in offense? I stopped checking.
How's WSSU doing compared to how they did last year? I'm just curious.
Not praising Barnette or anything, but he's probably better than he's gotten credit for, and definitely better than what we have now.

Student A makes a D- on a test on subject matter X Student B makes an F on a test on subject matter X
Afterwards, we want to make student A the leader of a project involving subject matter X........
It makes no sense......I wanna know what students C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P did on the same test.......because there's gotta be a student our there who truly understands the subject matter at hand.
So feel free to praise student A (Barnette) and denigrate student B (Young) when neither is worth a damn. We'd likely be 119th-120th with Barnette, still losing in a similar fashion as Young is.
Barnette has WSSU at the 4th best offense in the CIAA.....averaging 307 ypg. You go from FCS to DII......you are only 4th in the CIAA and can muster only 300 ypg? You all are telling me that these are numbers to drool over? Barnette should be having WSSU humming offensively. I'm not impressed with what he's done at WSSU. When you have seen both MEAC and Big South football, and you drop down a level and can't even dominate in the CIAA?
Personally, I think people are asking too little from people who should be doing MUCH MUCH MORE.

This thread was about Barnette, where he ended up, and how he improved how piss poor they were. That's the thread.
To be fair to Barnette, what were they averaging last year?
What were we averaging last year when he was here?
Whether or not he's the best or not isn't the topic of the thread. Barnette, where he ended up, and how he's doing were the topic of the thread. At least that's what I took it as. I guess if you took it as doing a hatchet job on him then keep it up.
If you wanna find the thread about what students C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P did on the same test I'm sure it's out there somewhere.
