if we bring in a new DC it is likely that it would signal a new defensive philosophy and scheme and that AG was basically gonna be relatively hands off and play mostly a CEO role. unless he hired someone under the same defensive coaching tree, but in that case I dont really see anything to be excited about since it would be a new guy running the same scheme

What big upgrade at DC would come to Miami before the NCAA hands out our sanctions? Anyone that comes here will want to know this isn't a set up for failure and that Golden is on solid path to winning only after the NCAA rules. The Randy Shannon supporters got to give up with their dream he is allowed back.

Strange list.

MacIntyre--> Colorado
Clawson --> lateral move IMO
Diaco --> probably could do better

I have a hard time believing Golden is endorsing DonofFreo to Temple. It his his most important defensive recruiting class since his arrival. Continuity is key. No one wants to have uncertainty at the coordinator level in the last three months until NSD.

If Golden thinks now is a good time for Coach D to become a head coach, he would most likely not be selfish and try to keep him. I would expect this of most coaches, never mind when the coaches are best friends.

This. You never want to be seen as potentially holding someone back in the coaching community. It could discourage future up-and-coming coaches from signing on.

If they get on a list, you encourage them. You don't call up your old school and offer up your DC. Al should not give a flying rat's balls about what happens at Temple.
 
What if Golden is sending him there to leave and then he leaves for Wisconsin? Knowing he cant take D there.

I am pretty sure he is more concerned with helping his friend and coach out than Temple.

Anyone else besides me want D'Onofrio here next year?

I think with another year of growth for our young team, and a third year of coaching continuity, we'll see a lot of improvement.

I'm actually fairly neutral on D'Onofrio. I don't think he's had much to work with so it's difficult to judge him objectively, but on the other hand, our defense was absolutely horrific this year so I can understand why some are ready to pack his bags and drive him to the airport. The one thing I do like about him is that our defense does seem to be more "physical" than it has been for quite some time. I'm seeing fewer arm tackles and more solid contact out of our defense although admittedly that's a pretty subjective statement. Ultimately if he stays I won't be p*ssed but if he leaves I won't be broken up about it either.

There were some games where our tackling was HORRIFIC! Are you sure you were watching the 2012 Miami Hurricanes?

Other than Kacy Rodgers's head tackles, I don't remember seeing too many bad tackles this year. The coverage sucked at times and the angles were often still bad, but I don't remember tackling being much of an issue.

I'm in the same camp as an earlier poster as far as not being too thrilled about it. While it was bad last year, well really bad, their scheme has had a good jump from yr 2-3. Having that same jump next yr means holding teams to the low 20's and that could be an additional 3 wins easy.

Everyone is screaming for him to go but that's most likely going to mean starting from scratch again on d and essentially wasting what could be a really special offensive year next year. Throwing out the baby with the bath water. I'd like to see some continuity for a change and see where he's at after another year.
 
LOL. No I have been a good boy since my impromtu chat with Paul Dee.

I'll play along. If Coach D does take this job, then Jim Leavitt is the LBs coach at SF 49ers. Dude ****es defensive excellence and is as fiery as they come! Going up to the pros and being part of the 49ers staff also is a big plus. Before any of you mention that he choked a kid while at USF, and UM wouldnt touch him, that was never proven or substantiated.

Good to see ya here Latin. Jump any rails lately?

There's a lot of smoke here fellas... It's looking like Coach D could definitely be gone (which could in fact be a good thing for us)
 
Coach D obviously isn't a strong recruiter for us, I never hear about him from any recruits. Good for him if he gets the temple job
