What might that mean?

Caused = cost
Certain bartender = Banda
One year = this year

Banda cost us 3 cbs this year?

Okay, let’s run with this. Rumph, Manny and Baker couldn’t figure out CB recruiting while Banda was hauling in James Williams, Kinchens on top of A. Williams, Balom and Harrell?

Or maybe sour grapes from the person responsible for CB recruiting, who failed at it (again). Hey CB recruiter, why’d you not sign CBs? Hey, because that bartender. His fault. Not your fault? Nope, definitely not my fault. His fault. Ah, okay. Well, I’m sure one of these years you’ll take responsibility for your recruiting shortcomings, unless it’s always someone else’s fault. Yeah, no doubt. If it’s ever my fault I’ll be quicklyest to let you know. Cool. Cool.

Now the oldtimer understands, LOL. As Ethnicsands states, this is BS. Banda is a closer and can get coffee when he wants. Rump is still trying to get his first cup of coffee (for the older folks in the crowd). You need to be able to BS and sell a recuit, just like the little bartender got his hot wife back in the day. Rump with his social skills can't even recruit anyone and always gets the last chick at the dance who no one wanted to dance with all night.

Exactly what I’ve heard Rumph had kids he wanted to offer but banda and manny said no their too small! Same thing happened to Asante Samuel! They finally let Rumph get couch last minute last year

Even if true, yet another example of Rumph being unable to convince people to do something.

Runph can't convince adults to let him offer his kids. Rumph can't convince the kids he's told to recruit to come here.

Rumph. Can't. Convince.
That's the only pattern here.

The bottom line is our entire approach to CB recruiting and play needs an overhaul. From the identification and recruiting of guys to the green lighting of offers to their development to how they are taught to play to the scheme they play in. It all needs to go, and that is on Rumph, both DCs, and Diaz.

There’s been quite a few guys we would’ve if landed if Rumph had say so. I don’t think anyone realizes the trend of CBs we recruit... All 6 foot plus and not the best of athletes

Jez, the ability of the human mind to rationalize anything is amazing.

I'm not saying it is because I have no clue, but IF its true that Rumph has no control over who he can offer, he should tell Manny and Banda to eat his *** and bounce.

CB recruiting is an unmitigated cluster**** and there needs to be accountability.

That was last years excuse, wasn’t it?

If it's true, is it really an excuse? There's got to be a reason why we repeatedly fail. It seems more and more like a "doing the same thing expecting different results" situation.

I don't know if it's true or not but I've also heard it. I've also read from Manny's own mouth that he has very specific metric for CBs. It's easier for most to find someone to blame that get to the root ot it.

Someone else here mentioned Banda occasionally messing things up and needing other position coaches to step in and fix things. Ican’t recall who it was.

Regardless I take this post as not signing off on 3 CBs who wanted to come here since it appears Banda needs to sign off on DB offers. I wish we had names on said recruits if this is true.

I was thinking the same thing about the mental gymnastics people will go through to defend Rumph's recruiting. Avoiding cognitive dissonance at all costs.

Except that I was using it as an example of people blaming Rumph even if it's true the Mandy and Banda don't allow Rumph to green light or recruit a CB.

As you said cognitive dissonance at all costs. Can't let it disrupt a good rant.
 
This is a business and this is how I view it. It doesn't make a lick of sense to me.

Mike Rumph is brought on to a major corporation as the director of sales. Ephram Banda is the director of Marketing at this corporation. Mike Rumph wants to bring in a new sales team. Ephram Banda, as the director of Marketing has final say in who Mike Rumph can bring onto the sales team because he has a longstanding relationship with the president/CEO Manny Diaz.

In what universe does this make sense? I don't care if it happens at other programs. This is a All American alumni corner coming back home to coach his alma mater. How Banda has final say in who we recruit at corner is unfathomable considering Banda hasn't done a lick in his life outside of being able to make a solid mixed drink at a busy bar. If I was Rumph I would have gotten out of town already but I believe his reputation is tarnished from this fiasco. It's a **** shame. Rumph should have still closed on some of these guys, but If I had to guess Rumph is burnt the **** out from being stepped on by a guy who isn't even in the same stratosphere as him from a football perspective. Rumph has to go, there is no denying that but what a god **** shame his tenure has been here. The blame goes to him about 40% while the other 60% goes to Banda and Diaz.
 
If it's Banda's fault, it's Manny's fault for allowing Banda to have any decision making over which CBs get offered.. I've never heard anything so dumb. Rumph coaches CBs. Banda coaches safeties. Baker is the DC. Personally I think it should be all Rumph then Manny signs off. But if there were a second guy to approve, it would be Baker, not Banda.

Dumb.

Also, why hasn't Rumph been able to close on CBs for YEARS now? Even guys he COACHED in high school?

Dumb.
