Really haven't followed him but good for him.... Glad he's proven himself..Patke is coveted in the coaching world. He’s just extremely loyal to manny but it won’t be long before the sec poaches him
Based on past history that is a distinct possibility. Fingers crossed they don’t F**k this up.Or is it smoke up our behind??
He worked 2 years under schiano. He had no ties before thatHe has a familiar work ethic and pedigree from Schiano, objectively succeeds everywhere he goes and his product passes the eye test on the field. We're likely his last stop before head coach and being courted by Minnesota or Rutgers when Fleck or Schiano move on.
SIAP but always love Ro’s breakdowns.
That's not entirely true.Board needs to chill out on asking menmon for his opinion on everything. I’m tired of seeing it. What’s next you’ll ask him what to wear tomorrow? He could tell the board aliens are coming on earth tomorrow and you’ll believe it. Form your own opinions
Give yourself a little more credit.That's not entirely true.
They only ask my opinion on things like this to reaffirm what they already feel.
If I don't like a hire or a player, they have zero interests in what I say or think.
Trust me, as soon I say something they don't like or agree with, no matter how true it is, they'll grab the closest brick they can find to throw it through my window.
Fyzical!Looks like he doesn't even need the Miami cocaine.
Also, the moment he said "we want to be physical", Mario told him to name his price.
Had me gasping for a second there. lolI heard ...... It's not official
Until the thread title gets update. Just saying.
So I guess the one negative is that Minnesota fans don't think he's a good recruiter
new DC is aggressive is a Solid Verbal 'fantasy thing' every season for a reason.
Which is another reason head coaches don't let coordinators hire their own staff because if they did Minnesota would be looking to replace their entire defensive staff right now and not just their DC.Monroe isnt his guy either. Another example. Hetherman didn’t hire a single asst at Minnesota but had a top 10 defense
Heck even those of us who played and coached value the insight and knowledge. I don’t necessarily agree with everything @Memnon says (he’s a Bull and I’m a Rocket so there has to be some level of hate and animosity ) but I definitely value what he (and a few others) says.Give yourself a little more credit.
What you say is true and applies to MANY on this board. But, there are others (myself included) who value your FOOTBALL opinion, especially when it’s not filled with sunshine and rainbows. It’s how we become more educated because most of us never played the game.
Keep doing you!
More UM good news coming……it’ll leak out eventually ( not coaching )
I hope so. Because let’s be honest… we don’t need 2 DL coachesMinnesota’s defensive staff was comprised of 4 on the field coaches last year.
Heatherman: DC/ LB
Monroe: Co-DC/ CB
Collins: PGC/ S
DeLattiboudere: DL
For reference we had 5 last year: Guidry, Jackson, Nicholson, Taylor, Salavea. Is there a chance that under Heathermen we shrink the on the field staff to four, and add an on the field full time Special Teams coach?
That's not entirely true.
