Brian Burns Article

But now, the program that he was bashing, has had a complete makeover. It's probably too late for a lot of kids in this class, but next year's class should be good.

I'm just throwing this out there.....

Who's to say that Rumph & Burns had that great of a relationship at American Heritage?

There might very well be a negative back story that nobody talks about.......

I No Nothing...... Just putting that out there......
 
No point in hiring Rumph if he can't pull Heritage kids. Could have hired a great defensive mind or a real ace recruiter. Hugely disappointing.
 
We haven't had any traction with burns since 2014. I don't know why anyone would expect we automatically would land burns by hiring rumph. That's just unrealistic. I can see if we were in his top 3 and then this hire could make Definite impact but we weren't...
 
Didn't Arkansas get Alex Collins, who had never visited there, just because they hired the RB coach who was close with his HS coach and had recruited him at Wisconsin (Partridge?)? Gotta agree with Chise here that it's pretty crazy that we are the "home team" here AND we have the kid's HS coach on the staff, who he just won a state championship with, and we can't even get a visit.

for real!

I don't get it... when he was coaching there he never pushed any kids to his alma matter and now he seems to be taking a passive approach with his own kids too. Burns is the most heralded prospect in all of SFL this year and you would think you'd hear either "Rumph going to UM definitely makes a big difference for me" Or "Rumph has been on my son hard since he was hired, telling him he has to take a visit cause the U is back".....

i know you love Golden, but leave that defeated mindset at the door. Tracy Howard had zero interest in UM and was all UF a mater of weeks before signing day and wack *** Golden still closed him...
 
Maybe the kid just doesn't want to go to Miami. It's very possible. Yall gotta take them green/orange shades off sometimes and look at reality.

You want kids to flock to Miami that hasn't been good since 03 it's the year 2016. We've been average as **** for most of these kids lives.

Win and win often and the kids will come

Its very telling when his own coach cant get his trust and even get a courteousy visit. I will lower my expectations for Rumph's recruiting talents

that's not really fair is it? We have been terrible for the last 12 years and Golden cost kids like Chick Millions In the NFL. Its going to take time and once they seem real improvement by not only winning by top draft picks it will hard to get in period. We will not have enough scholarships for them all at that point.. Winning is great but $$$ is their number 1 concern IMO.. We win and produce the flood gates will open.

How much did Golden cost in draft stock?

like who? Rumph is a great coach and can recruit. Wait until next year AH class and see how many we get.

I am not going to judge him off the AH kids from this class. WAY too late in the game. Buddy was hired as our DB coach a week ago and yall think he can sway kids who had absolutely ZERO interest in us to all of a sudden come? Wishful thinking.

Now I WILL judge him off the two DB prospects that will be coming out of AH soon...Tyson Campbell and Surtain Jr...if we are not in the game with those two then something is up. DBs at the position you are coaching should be open and shut.. Campbell is a stud. But I heard LSU is his leader right now..

I will also judge him off Slaton. The big time OL. We have to keep him home.

for Tracy? Not that much, Tracy just doesnt have the traits coveted by the NFL... Not fast enough. Do wish we had him for another year though

huh? everyone would have been better under a new staff, but you can't fix speed.
 
Can you guys blame him for trashing the previous staff. Everyone on this board has done it lol

I know, the **** cracks me up.

Rumph has real college coaches banging down his door for a select few of these kids, and he is supposed to convince a kid and his parents to go to his alma mater DESPITE having a trash coach?

The double standard is hilarious. I
