Replacements for Andy Avalos

[Bronco754]

My suggestion, in the way of a replacement for Boise State DC Andy Avalos, who is set to at least triple his Boise State salary at Oregon, would be promote from within by naming the recently hired Boise State special teams coach as the new Defensive Coordinator at Boise State. That being Jefff Schmedding - as Schmedding was the Defensive Coordinator at Eastern Washington from 2015 thru 2018 (until he left to come to Boise State).

THEN hire someone else to be the new Special Teams coach.

I've seen where others are suggesting former Boise State player Gerald Alexander as a possibility but Alexander has never been a D.C. anywhere. He's always been a defensive backs coach or a graduate assistant wherever he's been.

Anyone who thinks Boise State can replace Avalos with a former Bronco who is now a DC in the PAC 12 (Kwiatkowski at Washington and Marcel Yates at Arizona) is just plain clueless. Those two are making a LOT more $$$$$$ in their PAC 12 jobs than Boise State can pay them.

Last fall, with Jeff Schmedding as the Def. Coordinator at Eastern Washington, Schmedding's defense gave up 340 points (E. WA scored 647 points) at an average of 22.67 pts per game (E. WA. scored an average of 43.13 pts/game)

Here is a link to the website which details Eastern Washington's team statistics for 2018 during Schmedding's last season as the Defensive Coordinator at Eastern WA.

Another interesting choice would be current U.C. Davis Defensive Coordinator Robert Tucker - who was a defensive coach for Boise State from 2000 thru 2006 and is currently the D.C. for former Boise State head coach Dan Hawkins.

I can not take these people who are suggesting Spencer Danielson as a possible candidate for the Defensive Coordinator job at Boise State. That's really NOT meant as an insult to Danielson. I'm sure he's a great guy and all BUT the fact is he was a Graduate Assistant coach at Boise State season before last (2017). He was the coach for the STUD Def Ends last fall. And he was just promoted to Defensive Line coach last December solely because U.S.C. grabbed BSU D-Line coach Chad Kauha'aha'a (the D-line coach who was only at BSU for 1 season).

NOBODY goes from Graduate Assistant Coach in 2017 to STUD DE coach in 2018 to Defensive Line Coach in December 2018 to Defensive Coordinator in March 2019. NOBODY

Very curious who we will hire, this coming so late was bad for us

Bright side is at least we aren't guaranteed to get torched by Florida State in the opener
