I was very critical of Patke's qualifications and Diaz bringing these Incarnate Word carryovers to UM...That being said Diaz after losing 5 defensive linemen, 3 to the draft, and Malik Young and still having a defense like this has earned a green light from me...THAT BEING SAID.
One of the Patke and Simpson spots should have been a Sofla ace...Simpson obv is more qualified and has the Georgia ties, so Patke's spot then. You need some juice with these kids...Find the next T-rob, J.Seider, E.Gran, etc, etc...I'm sure Richt thought he was getting one with Rumph (hasn't worked that way, but Rumph seems like a decent coach), but it was worth another shot here, esp with Diaz having a lot of input with the LB position anyway
