first, to get the disagreement stuff out of the way. Seems to me, you're shifting the discussion from "if he wants to" to "if he's coaching somewhere now." That's a fair shift, you just didn't say it in the prior post.
You know me, re HFC, every time round, I'm saying "we should hire someone that is a HFC." That should go for position coaches too (maybe a little bit less so, but ya).
But, as can be inferred from your post (Foster, Neu), UCLA is handling this regime change in the way they always do - the primary criterium appears to be availability. The second criterium appears to be a strong UCLA connection (though, the new OL guy would be an exception re Criterium #2).
Perk, if he's interested, I assume would do the work. Maybe that's a big assumption. But, if we are looking at 1) guys thqt are available, 2) guys that have a strong UCLA connection, then Perk was a very good running back that worked to some extent or another with our present football coach. After Foster, I don't know who the 2nd best running backs coach in the NCAA was last season, but I doubt we get him. I'd rather have a motivated Perkins than either a guy that has never played running back/coached running backs or having EB doing double duty in his first year as OC under a first year (extremely inexperienced) HFC.
But, as always, that's just, like, my opinion, man. Just a fat guy on a couch.
Peace.
