Miami targeting Houston's Zac Etheridge for DB coach

@JamesQuall

Wait a minute.... Why are you bringing in the authorities? Did that joke really stink THAT bad?

I got a wife and kids to take care of; I can't afford another stint in the pokey and my shanking skills are rusty.

Unless I’m reading the thread wrong, losing Beard would suck. He seems like he’s done a great job coaching and recruiting.

 

[Odysseus]

recruiter indeed.

 

[chicanego]

The difference is the DC interviewed him. That’s the important part.

He can decide that this guy can execute his scheme. Something Mario likely cannot do like he did in the past hiring coaches without even having a coordinator in place

This is what made Cristobal's first hiring cycle at UM so bizarre. IIRC, many of the position coaches on his first UM staff were hired before the offensive and defensive coordinators. He's not perfect, but this was a necessary adjustment and hopefully it pays off.

Losing Beard would suck, but if it's him, he would be deserving as he's a solid coach.
The only way this would pssed me off if it was to another college program.

Wait Beard is leaving??

People just be saying anything

10 pages late, I know. But, this guy is pretty good.

Always worry about fit and finish with coaches sometimes, but he produces pros and good units most of the time.

Recruiting DBs down here is going to be hard, and I hope he's up for the job.

Gaby says he expects him to work with CBs and another coach for safeties

 

[jmiller]

Does he have any connection to Hetherman ?

I'm not trying to be a debby downer but we've been down this road before where we hire a couple hot names and it turns out they can't work together.

I think people on here put too much into the ties thing. We had a db coach last year that had ties to our DC and our secondary looked more confused than ever.

How many coaches is Jim Knowles bringing with him to Penn State? It’s so overstated.

Dude can obviously croot

Siap

Nick Monroe is a safety coach

 

[Memnon]

Can someone explain to me why you would split a DB room with two coaches? Is that very common because I always thought one coach had the whole secondary but recently it seems all rooms are split.

I feel o like that would cause confusion. Are nfl rooms split?

Zac Etheridge specifies in Safety Coaching.

If we brought in another DB Coach it would be for someone who specifies in CB's.

Rather than have 1 guy try to cover the entire Secondary, it’s easier to have 2 guys just run their rooms & correspond with the DC.

CB's & Safeties have different responsibilities & it’s a lot more difficult to teach both groups from a technical standpoint if you don't have the experience doing both.

It makes more sense to have 1 LB Coach & 1 DL Coach. You don't need a DT & DE Coach, they have same responsibilities & nearly the same assignments.

 

[JayCane20]

Marc Stampley did too.

AJ Haulcy is another name to keep an eye out for a potential Spring Portal add.

AJ Haulcy in our secondary…

Also stop taking **** from my Alma mater. Before I get mad

My dad friend and his son played bball there at Uh.

Interesting - so you think he’s the safety coach and maybe a diff title on top of that?

The only other titles they could give him would be Co-DC, or Defensive Pass Game Coordinator.

Idk what the plan is, but if they do bring in another DB Coach, it will just depend on who it is.

ZE can Coach either CB's or Safeties, but he's better as a Safety Coach, it's what he did at Houston (the first go round) & Auburn.

If it were me, I'd pair Etheridge with a guy like Sammy Joseph to help keep the Louisiana pipeline open, but that's just me, idk nothing.
