The past few seasons, Sperbeck has done just enough to keep his j-o-b. Looking at his overall track record, it doesn't stand out pleasantly. He's compiled a 30-37 record, which isn't too bad. During his watch, there hasn't been a post-season for the hornets. So, does Wanless light a match under Sperbeck's seat this season if production doesn't improve? I hope so.
More, I hope that Wanless has a list of names in his pocket. If I was the one to write that list, it would look like this:
Current HCs:
John Wristen of DII CSU-Pueblo
Wristen help build the reincarnated thunderwolves football program at Colo St- Pueblo. Since it's restart, the t-wolves have had consecutive winning seasons under Wristen. Further, he has DI experience having been an assistant or position coach at various FBS programs including Kentucky (under Rich Brooks) and UCLA.
Turk Schonert of UFL's Sac Mt. Lions
A HC that's already in the city. Being the semi-pro HC of the Mt. Lions, he will more than likely have established connections with the area's football programs. He has an extensive NFL career as QBC and OC. That combine with his UFL experience would be appealing to recruits.
Former HCs:
Paul Wulff
Wulff led a didn't have much success as Wazzu's HC, but did have at EWU. Which is why he was tabbed to lead the cougars. He's familiar with the BSC and the San Jack Valley. Plus, he's currently an O-asst. w/ the 49ers. His past history in the BSC, connections to the area and the NFL would be very appealing to recruits.
Pat Hill
He did good things at Fresno St. His tenure there did end on a mediocre note, but overall he was successful at a place where it is hard to be successful. He has established connections with local high schools coaches. He familiar with the area. He past success at the FBS level and connection to the NFL would be appealing to recruits.
He familiarity with the Cal State system would help with getting things done at Sac St.
Current Coordinators/Positions Coaches:
Kevin McGarry of SDSU
McGarry is currently the ST Coordinator and linebackers coach at SDSU. Since becoming ST Coor. at SDSU, The Aztecs' ST play have shown real improvement. The kicking game has gotten stronger, returners average respectable return yards and KO/Punts have been returned for TDs. Linebackers are definitely a strong point of the Aztec D. McGarry coached Miles Burris who was drafted by Raiders in the 2012 draft.
Prior to SDSU,He was the HC at the University of San Diego for eight seasons. He compiled a 42-38 record. Although only slightly above .500, it a good feat considering that torero football is a non-scholarship program. Also, USD puts academics before sports.
His development of SDSU's ST play can be very beneficial to hornet football. We're all aware of the woes with hornet ST play. His involvement in helping to turn around a poor performing Aztec team will also be of benefit to Sac St. Coming from another Cal State program, he would be knowledgeable with how to do things football wise in the CSU.
Fred Guiduci of SJSU
Like McGarry, Guidici is also a ST Coordinator. He's the ST Coordinator for the SJSU Spartans. Along with coordinating ST, he is also the running backs coach. Here again, is a coach that has first hand knowledge of ST play can help turn around that area for the hornets.
Does of us who follow DI football saw the miracle turn around season that the Spartans had last season. They finished the season ranked in the top 25 in both major polls. His involvement with last season's Spartan team could be beneficial to helping the hornets turn the corner and become BSC contenders.
Before SJSU, Guidici was he HC at NAIA Menlo College. According the archives on the Oaks Web site, he helped that program turn the page from losing upon becoming HC.
