Miami is firing DC Lance Guidry

[Canefan4life]

About a month too late

Rarely is it fixed or done quickly but gotta credit Mario that he makes changes when they’re needed.

3rd time is the charm?

Gotta assume he’s gonna hit on one hire on defense at some point

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

Gentleman... settle in for the long haul of F5'ing until the day before spring practice when the new DC is announced (joking, but not really).

 

[jmiller]

Hopefully we bring in a high level assistant coach who can take over if this next DC is successful and leaves

Chevis or salvea? I say They keep salvea but who knows

Fire them both. Joe sucks too

 

[Problem2]

Only one id hold on to would be Dnic but id the new DCord wants to bring in all of his guys I wouldnt bat an eye to it

Feels like the entire defense has been poorly coached

Meh, LBs were terrible and he didn’t recruit this class as well as we thought, besides closing on Wiley at the end.

Won’t be sad to see him go.

 

[The U is back to work]

Can't remember who or where but someone dropped hints about Pat Fitzgerald being main target

Has he ever been a DC? His wiki doesn’t indicate it - did he call defensive plays at NW?

 

[brock]

NO to Taylor and Hurtt.

Yes to Fitzgerald

Why no to hurtt? He’s been a great coach in the league

Finally! @DMoney any truth to the rumors that Scott and Lightfoot are considering the portal? I'd hope getting rid of this bum would be a positive step in the right direction to hopefully convince them to stick around

man if we lose scott
that would be devastating to the DT room
esp since we signed zero impact DTs this year in HS

 

[Canedude08]

We wanted the guy fired, he gets canned and people still complain. He was decent last year, wheels fell off this year and he was held accountable. I’m not finding an issue here. Miami took a chance on an aggressive guy that had legit success at the G5 level, it didn’t work.

Big board from Lake:

Tyler Santucci
Cory Hetherman
Tom Allen
Andy Avalos
Jason Taylor
Anthony Campanile
Terry Joseph
Clint Hurtt
Pat Fitzgerald
Mel Tucker

Fitz or Tucker would be legit.

 

[RozayCane]

Glad we are moving in another direction.. hopefully a better one.

But I can’t lie.. Guidry was very likable and I wanted to see him succeed here.. good luck to him.

Business is business

 

[Angry Ibis]

Just Guidry? What about the rest of the complete failure on the D side of the ball?

Another hiring failure by Mario.

There will be no more cut and paste. New DC will be given power to bring in his guys. I think no one is safe ( D Nick probably only one worth saving). JT can recruit, but not the developer or hard worker we probably need. All 3 SMU guys ( Harvey, JHH and Elijah) played better when they left.

Meh, LBs were terrible and he didn’t recruit this class as well as we thought, besides closing on Wiley at the end.

Won’t be sad to see him go.

Exactly , linebackers were not good this year. Bissainthes play got worse as the season went on. Kiko had a down year. Aguirre showed promise at times but still we can do without him too

 

[Zbrod95]

The Rev told you.

Finally. But man, what is wrong with Mario's ability to assemble a decent staff? This will be the 3rd DC in 4 years, which is frankly absurd.

Honestly, I think it’s the school. Legit guys t don’t view this job as elite so we have to find up and comers.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

One thing I'll say is that Mario didn't really do his normal wait a while and it be a mutual parting.

Publicly fired him. Makes me thing Mario isn't very happy

the last shot the camera got of him on the sideline after Emory threw that pic told it all....

 

[DrewZ2]

Salave’a and Chevis will be gone too.

Should be... Chevis left a lot to be desired and Salavea seemed to just be collecting a pay check.... Dude was a bridge for Taylor to take over
