You had replied to my post and I replied back. Not a big deal for me. I don’t call Rumph or Manny nasty names on here or personalize things like that. I’m not a miserable, hateful person, I appreciate what I do have. I don’t think Rumph’s recruiting is good but I have no doubt that Manny does what you say. You and I both upvoted a guy who criticized Rumph’s recruiting but said Manny’s making these calls, not Rumph. There’s no way Manny didn’t make this call.Was that a blanket statement or did I reply to you without realizing? Saying mike isn't a good recruiter is something I'm not arguing at this point one way or the other. But it's the equivalent of me saying ur a telemarketer and ur not allowed to do cold calls. Nothing but a set script with a subscription base. Because otherwise youre judging a dude based on someone else's measurements. The kids y'all say are this and are that mandy literally handpicked. If Mike had his options he had one kid locked in who is easily the defensive freshman of the year so far in the sec and the other who was set to start at georgia as a true freshman before his injury... Those were mike's two targets and mandy wouldn't sign off on them due to them being out of state and being too high profile. Said it would be hard to justify the expense of recruiting them... That was out of Mandy's mouth. No one else's. Just think keele was locked in on wanting to come here and LOVED UM HISTORY AND EVEN LOVED RUMPH due to his role in our history. We didn't even offer him for almost two years when the kid took his own time and reached out to us. How the **** that works...is that on mike or is it on our defensive wizs from blue martini and the state senate? Reality for you is mike has become a scapegoat to the fans and the staff for various reasons. Staph because he turned down the dc job twice. Once with richt and again with Mandy. Y'all because blah blah blah seems to be the precedence.
I don’t think the coaching has been particularly good on that side of the ball and I think we need a new start, like on offense. That said, Manny is a defensive coach, so while he will turn the offense over to Enos or Lashlee, I think he hired Baker because he could still keep control. I also think that Manny allowing Baker to call plays or whatever he’s doing, is killing us. Either Manny coaches the defense or he turns it over to someone who knows wtf they’re doing.
