Confirmed Miami (hires) Minnesota Corey Hetherman as DC

View as article
Just watched Josh Pate, he said that the thing he is mostly looking at is how Hetherman adjusts to calling a defense for a high uptempo offense that we will run. He said that hes used to slow tempo offenses that burn clock and that miami is a whole new world in regards to putting pressure on the defense if we end up having quick offensive drives. He also pointed to Jeff lebby and how he did the same thing and hired a DC who is used to slow tempo offensive teams and ended up failing.

Not sure I understand why Pate brought up the tempo differences between Minn and us. We did a good amount of huddling this year and would only go uptempo sometimes after getting a first down.

According to this website, Miami ran a play every 26.9 seconds on offense and Minn ran one every 29.3 seconds. Not really that big of a difference.

We also had an average of over 32 minutes of time of possession a game according to ESPN. Sounds like plenty of time for a competent DC to run a successful defense to me.

Miami wasn't a fast paced offense. We were mid pack/slightly slow. I mean at times we seemed to speed up effectively.

Also realize Beck comes from a very slow paced offense at GA

Pate used to be smarter than this. Just because our offense scored at a ridiculous clip doesn’t mean we were break neck. Honestly if we were, we probably would’ve scored 50/game.

We definitely have a good mix. Dude is just talking out his *** since his SEC bros got knocked out.

The reason why Miss St failed on defense is because they hire a DC that was primarily a Special Teams Coordinator prior in his career.

Had nothing to do with tempo. This offensive tempo stuff is one of the most misrepresented agendas out there.

Holy crap! Does Pate know who our HC is?

Pate likes to say he’s not bought and paid for but his schtick has changed this year as someone who has listened for 3 years now. He’s very very very pro SEC and while he does ‘talk’ all programs/conferences where most don’t, his stances have changed and he’s just a Shill hoping to get plucked into a bigger role

Sometimes people equate explosive plays with fast tempo.

It has happened so much over the last year. It's all SEC now. Dude took the money and is the same as anyone else.

Isn't it all relative though? We can't deny we had drives where we'd score in under 2 mins whereas the opposing offense ran a slower tempo and kept the defense on the field the possession prior.

He’s literally bought by any school he has relationships with including us. Still has a well thought out perspective imo
 
I know he signed with CBS again but I was genuinely floored ESPN didn’t sign him given the contract investments. I know they have stupid **** Paul Feinbaum but Pate could be put on Gameday given his CFB knowledge from only covering it
