Anyone isolating certain Rumph traits to say “oh it’s just this he’s bad at” needs to look at the whole picture:
- 2018 was his best recruiting class. It was also the most stacked CB year ever and Jobe decommitted, Bethel is gone, and Frierson is a safety/striker.
- Soo many solid corners yearly that are high 3-stars/low 4-stars that are certainly within UM’s reach but we never get any.
- Consistent attrition at the position with Malek Young’s unfortunate situation being the only excusable one
- It’s been reported Manny has been close to letting him go in back to back years.
- The fact that someone who’s from SoFlo, a 1st round CB at the U, a HC at a powerhouse HS in Broward, and a good coach is this bad at recruiting depth and high-floor talent
Mike Rumph is a SOLID coach, a GREAT Cane, and an AWFUL recruiter. But we’ve gotten a large enough sample size to see that this is not the best we can do at CB.
You don’t fire him just to fire him before a better option is presented, but if I’m Manny I’m actively searching for his successor.
