Rumph has to go.
The second he re-tweeted Maro Wilson's recruitment announcement, KNOWING Wilson was going to pick the Gators, he should have been put on some kind of informal "probation" period. A kind of "We're watching you" type thing. All he does is follow that up by losing out on everybody in South Florida.
Go get me somebody that can recruit and I'll take my chances with their coaching ability.
This. A D1 position coaches role is to recruit first and foremost. Anyone with a pulse should be able to coach the technique/tackling/fundamentals. Dumph gets FAR too much credit for the success of the CB's this year (which undoubtedly was a result of a superior system that put them in a position to succeed).
All this talk of recruiting disaster or epic fail is bull. Epic fail would be if we signed no DB's or they were all jags, which is most definitely not the case. So ease up a little. Was it the best outcome? No But was it an Epic Failure? Most definitely not. Overall a very solid class.
Some people on here are saying Rumph is learning on the job. If you've watching football recruiting for awhile good recruiters generally are good recruiters from day 1, its a charisma/salesman thing you either have or you don't - Banda is essentially an inexperienced coach/recruiter for the most part and the difference is huge. The James Coley's of the world are beast recruiters from jump-street.
Richt needs to do something about how this staff closed - Rumph, Hartley, Richt Jr didn't pull their weight, Dugans and Brown are on warning (Brown has a history of generally being a great recruiter). People are pointing to October stating that was the game changer, it wasn't. Plenty of programs have had winning issues especially in a coaches bump year and kill it in recruiting (see what Jimbo did at FSU his first full year).
Excusing this year if you want Miami to be a ACC top contender each year (like FSU and Clemson are right now) isn't how you get there. Something has got to change, if it doesn't we'll be sitting here a year from now pointing to '19 as the solution as we half-closed 18....
Stop blaming Rumph and start blaming Richt.
-He insists on calling his own plays
-His ****** play calling was the catalyst for that 4 game losing streak in October that killed our Coastal hopes
-It's his job to close on the elite guys.
You have to WIN. It's that simple. Either win on LOI day with an elite class and keeping elite locals in house or win during the season and create hype for the program. We win just 2 of those 4 October games and the perception of his program is MUCH different in the eyes of recruits.
Too much blame is being allocated to the wrong destination. Homeboy makes a lot of money and he needs to be held accountable.
Maryland got curb stomped all year long...McFarland to Maryland.Stop blaming Rumph and start blaming Richt.

Georgia had a 8-5 record yet finished with a top 5 class.
Winning helps...yes, but so does having a staff that sells your school better than the other guy.

Well of course. If you aren't elite at the X's and O's game (which Richt OBVIOUSLY is not), you sure as **** better be elite at the recruiting game (early returns prove he and his staff ARE NOT). It's the chicken or the egg game.
The same people that say "we need the horses for Richt to implement his system" are out the other side of their mouth saying "We just need to win to get X player".
He's getting his *** handed to him out of both sides atm. Needs to get his **** together.
Rumph is a ****ing disaster and a liability. Richt needs to do what is in the best interest of his family and their livelihood and the university of miami.
He must fire Rumph.
Why are people blaming Rumph for Edwards? Banda was his chief recruiter.
Does he get any credit for Herbert or nah?
I know I've said this like 1,392 times on here, but coaches don't recruit based on the position they coach, they recruit based on region.
Obviously Rumph has some contact with the CB recruits but he's not their sole/primary recruiter. He definitely wasn't the only one recruiting Henderson and Edwards.
That's true Macho, however, you and I both know that your future position coach plays a HUGE roll in getting the kid to campus. They have to comfortable and confident in that aspect (probably more than any other factor).
In my opinion, this whole class is mediocre and average.
Richt recruited much better at Georgia, but that is because Georgia is a better program these days than Miami.
