So many similarities to Ron Gould. Both really good, respected dudes, position/assistant coaches, good recruiters. I keep thinking Ron Gould II, but he does have HC experience. 10 years in Oakland/Berkeley publics where he won some titles. 129-69-3 record as a High School head coach.
Gould had never done it, so Sac has that going for them. I think Sac may be able to hang on to some of their players with this hire.

Eleven in the portal, plus graduates. And gets staying for a bowl game as a position coach.

I was wondering what effect Carter’s late hiring will have on recruiting. It’s been almost exactly 1 year since Marrion was announced the new Slak head coach. With a late start on recruiting, he was able to bring in a lot of talent fast and seemed to do a good job putting the team together. It would seem Carter is going to have to rely on the same formula- bringing in players from the portal to produce a team. Will this new crop of kids buy into the same song, or will Carter’s recruiting efforts be hampered by all the drama? We should know soon.

Carter said that he is currently talking with many of the players who have already announced that they are going into the portal and he believes that quite a few will change their minds. We'll have to wait and see.
