Possible D-Line/DT Coach

[TheOriginalCane]

Super garbage. How tf can you absolve Mario of ANY blame as the head man in charge when he could easily say " Don't do that dumb ****". Like what? Anything thing the defense does is 100% on the HC because he ALLOWS it.

What a dumb post by Canezum5.

It's on the DC. Either the DC calls stunts or should step in to prevent them. Only people such as yourself interpret that as "absolving Mario of any blame".

Just a bunch of porsters who want to blame Mario for everything, regardless of job titles and responsbilities.

What's next? DB coach was calling cover 3 while linebacker coach calls man? Lol.

This would explain a lot.

This isn't debatable.

I hate that we are tied down to Jason Taylor. My understanding is that the “higher ups” want us to stick with Taylor. I’m sure he can recruit and recruits families like him but I know for a fact that some players on the team dislike him. Moten hates JT. That’s from the horse’s as I know the Moten family.

Is that cause we constantly see JT yelling at Moten cause he doesnt do his job/makes mistakes

Here we go again.

If he hated him so much, why did he never hit the portal?

Because he’s a good player and will make an impact regardless.

Duke staffer reportedly makes decision on offer from Mike Elko, Texas A&M

A key Duke assistant coach has reportedly made a decision on whether or not to join Mike Elko in College station.

Appreciate the timeline correction. This article says Diaz is a top contender w/ interviews lined up, and I wonder if that affected Feeley’s decision.

Duke director of football sports performance David Feeley has informed Duke's players that he will be following Mike Elko to Texas A&M, @GigEm247 has learned ($). https://t.co/jDaB1SJ4MQ

— Carter Karels (@CarterKarels) November 27, 2023 (Week before Footballscoop report)

After Feeley won S&C coach of the year in 2023, and chose to stay at Duke, Elko still praised him in an excerpt, “He instilled the grit in them. He pushes the players to their limits, and they love him for it. He’s really unique; very deserving of this award.”At Elko’s behest, Feeley had instilled a “boxer’s mentality” into the Duke football program.

Didn’t realize Feeley turned down the job. I thought Elko, not Feeley, made the decision. Did more research after your reply.

Apologies for my wrong interpretation from this Elko interview. Anyways, here is what I had previously read that made me assume incorrectly.

“I had never met Coach Moffitt in my career, we had had one of his assistants on our staff at Duke and so I knew of him. When I dug into him and really started interviewing and talking to him, I was blown away by how modern he was,” Elko said.

“When you have a guy who has had as much success as he has and has a resume as long as he does, three national championships for three different head coaches, you anticipate maybe there being a little bit of an old school thought process and it was the exact opposite.”

Mike Elko reveals rationale for hiring Tommy Moffitt, importance of head strength & conditioning coach

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko pulls back the curtain on the hiring and reasoning behind hiring Tommy Moffitt.

Spoiler: Said assistant

Said assistant: Jeremy Jacobs joined Texas A&M’s staff in January 2024 and serves as the Associate Director of Football Strength and Conditioning/Director of Football Applied Sports Science.

Prior to coming to Aggieland, Jacobs served as an associate director for sports performance and head of football applied sports science at Duke University.

Jacobs served a six-year stint (2016-21) in a variety of different roles at Louisiana State University (LSU), most recently as the associate director of strength and conditioning for football. He also served as a strength and conditioning coach (2018-19) and graduate assistant coach (2016-17) during his time with the Tigers.

right and kid is a um legacy.

Moten was cooking toward the end of the year.

 

[uprising]

I just want someone who will bring the unwavering violence like never before seen in CFB…and 2 6’5” 315 lb. DT’s that run a 4.7 40.

I’ll take another Gerald Willis tho.

If he gets stronger and plays smart, he will up his draft stock for sure.

I'll take the DT rotation we had in 2018, Willis, Norton and McIntosh with Pat Bethel coming off of the bench. However I can't help but feel that with the talent we have brought in the past 2 classes plus David Blay that we should be able to exceed that. I would also like to see Rueben Bain move inside. He could conceivably wreak havoc on interior OLs in the ACC which would take our Defensive Line to the next level and have a profound effect on the play of our Linebackers. Combine that with the tremendous upgrade in the secondary, particularly at Cornerback with the leadership of new DC Corey Hetherman and his focus on fundamentals while running simple yet aggressive concepts and I'm ready to buy stock in our defense.
