Profile of next DC

[hoops156]

He let Guidry bring the CB coach from Marshall someone he worked with and look at how that worked out.

he also forced him to work with Taylor D nich and Joe and the entire coaches room hate each other

Charlie Skrong

I was just thinking the same thing today.

 

[TemplarCane]

Al Golden and Manny seems to be pretty doing good.

I suspect Golden learned quite a bit during his time in the NFL.

I suspect Golden learned quite a bit during his time in the NFL.

I don't want him around the program or anything. But I was impressed he coached offense and defense while in the league. Not sure how common that is. Maybe plenty common.

 

[mavericksouth]

I get the sentiment but after doing the “fire coordinator and assistant thing” we went from 5 wins to 10

10 wins and nothing to show. With the kind of investment the program is making for Mario, no one is interested in pseudo "progress years." It's time to get championships after 20 years of BS. He is not delivering.

Agree with more needing to be shown, I’m just saying swapping out coordinators does improve the chances of getting championships.

Coming off a 10-win season—that should be beneficial in opening up more doors than last time he went shopping for coordinators.

Someone with an NFL pedigree… see Wink Martindale at Michigan.

Until Mario actually changes the culture and gets significantly better on game day and his evaluation of players, it won't matter. This is the greatest offense I've ever seen at Miami, with a weak schedule and you still can't make it to the conference championship game. He's changed coaches how many times in three years? Why can't he get it right the first or even second time with all of these resources? He's burning $$ on hiring and firing staff with his incompetence. He's not the guy.

 

[IbzRlz]

How did Sapp do on Deion’s staff this season?

No more former Canes!

 

[IbzRlz]

Tony White DC Nebraska.

i was on here Pounding the table last time we hired Guidry.

He was Broyles award candidate as DC at Syracuse and then went to Nebraska was Broyles award finalist in 2023 there.

Rocky Long disciple runs an aggressive 3-3-5.

Great recruiter also.

Too late he's going to FSU

 

[IbzRlz]

Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Warren Sapp.

3 way co-DCs coaching every level of the defense.

Who says no?

If you hate Sapp like I do.. I’d settle for Wilfork.

Please stop with former Canes, especially those with no real coaching experience. Being a great player does not mean they'll be a great coach

Ryan Walters, former Purdue HC, he did well at Illinois and Mizzu as DC before that

Johnny Nansen, Co-DC at Texas, previous time as P4 DC, makes $900k now

https://texaslonghorns.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/johnny-nansen/3446

Corey Batoon, DC at Mizzu, makes about $1mm, nice resume, with ties to south Florida

https://mutigers.com/sports/football/roster/coaches/corey-batoon/2615

Someone else mentioned the name Clint Hurtt, but he’s coaching DL on the Eagles and I’m not sure if timing would work out, also he’s been outa the recruiting game for many years

No on Walters. I’ve never seen an individual so universally hated by everyone at Purdue. It goes beyond their poor performances on field.

 

[RVACane]

Can we stop with the Clint Hurtt stuff? Jesus...

Give me a DC who runs few coverages out of many disguises. Not deep into potential DCs yet tho...

There’s a guy at Notre Dame

 

[IbzRlz]

I don't want him around the program or anything. But I was impressed he coached offense and defense while in the league. Not sure how common that is. Maybe plenty common.

So you'd rather hire Ray Lewis or Ed Reed who have no coaching experience rather than Golden?

 

[RVACane]

I just want a DC who has actually coached P5 football and has come from a respectable coaching tree.

Colorado had a horrible defense last year then they went and got a NFL Ravens guy. They improved by a lot.

Deion’s picked some good assistants. Went to the NFL. We should try to get an NFL guy

The greatest offense you’ve ever seen at Miami… and Mario assembled it. Even if you credit it mostly to Ward (which I do), he brought us the line, OC, had Horton developed, a mean stable of RBs, and Ward himself was recruited heavily by Mario.

He can get it done, but it took cavemen a while to discover fire. Get the best DC money can buy and we should be a really good team next year. I agree 100% he needs to prove it, but I think he will have us contenders for the playoff year in and out. Get us to respectable status in CFB again and let things snowball.

I struggle to see where you made that connection.

But Golden is gone. Even wanting him back is a toxic.

 

[E1k]

Need someone who can hold their own and has a good track record in recruiting. Idk how guidry is there but i don’t hear much about him recruiting

 

[Bender]

There’s a guy at Notre Dame

no

 

[canesandphins1]

Jim leonhard would be my first call.
