I could be wrong, but I'm betting that Leach's DC hire will be somebody that will cause all of us to do a quick internet search for information. In other words....somebody most of us know little to nothing about.

I’m praying for Ken Wilson. I think recruiting will be 70% of the battle for us for D.
Were Ken and Leach pretty tight when he was here? If so, I think offering him the DC position and hinting he’d make a helluva head coach when Leach moves on/retires would be an enticing offer.
I like the idea of bringing Wilson back as DC. It would be nice to steal a coach away from UO for a change....and I think he's a very good coach with much better recruiting connections than what we've had since he left.

I do too. We’ll see. Do you have him coach a position? Or just game plan and recruit?
We need more than one upgrade in the staff’s recruiting ability.
I think Wilson could handle being a DC and coaching the linebackers. Right now, Roc is a co-DC and inside LB coach while Brock is ST & outside LB coach. There needs to be an assessment of whether that allocation of responsibilities is the best thing to do. I kind of like just having one guy responsible for coaching all linebackers whether that's a DC (Wilson) or simply a full time position coach.

I think rock is a good position coach and I would try to keep him as that. Of course a good dc you have to defer to him but I think rock and mcbath are good program guys just not dc right now.
I don’t know the particulars of coming back once you leave. It sure would be nice to get back Wilson and or salavea it may not be realistic though

Whomever he hires he better hire him some better assistants and back the DC if other coaches give him S..t.
Ther 2018 class had four 5 stars and thirteen 4 star players. Their 2019 class had 7 four star players. Their 2020 class only has one four star probably owing to uncertainty around Helton. That 18 class is pretty incredible. 2017 1 five star and 13 four star players.
they have an embarrassingly rich level of talent on paper.
consider Iowa has 4 four stars in like four years and they whipped them severely.

Can't do well with every advantage you could imagine, not known as a recruiter, likely to demand a lot of money, and who (reportedly) spurned Leach a few years ago when Grinch was hired. Great fit! (Not knocking the report that he's on the market, just saying there's almost no way in hell.)
And if he does turn it around Leach would be looking for a new DC after next year. No thanks, let’s go the up and comer route or shoot for a great recruiter who might be ok at calling some plays.
it was said Wilson was his most trusted recruiter. But I struggle seeing Leach ever taking back anyone who has left the flock for greener pastures .
2008' 2- 1st rounders, 2nd rounder and a 5th.
2019' 4th rounder and two 5th rounders.
2020' zero first rounders.
Just ain't what it used to be.
