Rumph is a perfect example of why we've told some of you MF's who want ex-players (a thousand times) that college coaching is a grind and it ain't for everybody. You guys always want to fill our staff with ex-players because "they must be able to coach, they played at an elite level". Yall don't understand that there's soooo many aspects to being a good college coach.
And recruiting is a HUGE part. Some coaches will tell you it's the most important skill to have. ****, you get a guy that can recruit his a$$ off and **** near anybody can coach the talent that you end up with. Coaching CB's is not rocket science. It's an easy position to coach. It's the exact spot you want an ace recruiter. Most of the technical **** is relayed down from the Defensive Coordinator anyway. He tells the position coaches how he wants things done. The coordinator coaches the position coaches, the position coaches coach the players. All this talk about what Rumph did for the CB unit this year is overblown bullsh!t. The change of scheme alone would've yielded better results than last year.
In college football you need recruiters. You need personable guys who can relate to the kids and light up a room when they walk in.
