As I've mentioned here, I actually played for Coach Simpson back in HS lol and I thought he did well here.

However, THIS: “Blake will continue to run our defense and I will call the defensive plays on gamedays, which we feel is our best path to maximizing our strengths on that side of the ball."

What the **** does that even mean? You're going to continue to employ this ****** D coordinator but not make him do his job on gamedays?!

Blake will be typing up the depth chart and will be solely responsible for the defense running laps.

Everything else is on Manny.

Jess - Sorry but I wouldn't have brought him back after he ran off on us. He won't have Willis this time.

DVD - Called this promotion when he tested the UT snow; T-Rob will coach that room the most...we hope.

Baker - Should be searching on Indeed.com or wherever right now.

Rumph - Same headhunter Baker should be using.

Patke - See right above. We're running a 4-0-7 til Manny is walked out.

Well. It'll suck not watching another down of Canes football next year. :/

There is no legitimate football reason Baker should still be the DC. Absolutely none. As I've said on the board; I saw the Golden/D'nofrio thing play out, and I have no desire to watch it again.

Diaz is on the clock.
 
Pride is a motherphucka.Diaz just isn't willing to admit/accept his def philosophy is weak and hiring a DC is admitting so.Dude is willing to risk his future rather than make changes.

Well, I have given up on that next season already.

"Blake will continue to run our defense" Jesus, help me. Take me to heavens, send me too ****, do something. Please.

Baker is his boy, and had a kid a couple years ago. He has to look after him. That what it is let’s be real. And he loves him some Rumph . The guy can’t recruit, or develop , but he is loyal to manny. Playing favorites with the coaches, just as he did with players on the field.

will lead to his downfall, ok to play favorites if they produce but Baker & Rumph no way no how

Alright I'm a bit confused.... Didn't everyone say this was Manny's defense and Baker was just the playcaller? But based on what Manny said, it was Baker's defense and now he'll be the playcaller. So my question is.... What's the main difference in their scheme?
 
It amazes me that Patke is good enough for Miami but not Utah State.

And Rumph.. If he wanted to keep Rumph on staff, ok. But putting Rumph in the recruiting dept borders on insulting.

Its like Manny thought.. What's Rumph worst at? Recruiting. So thats where I'll put him. What's Baker worst at? Coaching defenses. So thats where I'll keep him. Whats Patke good at? Nothing. So that's what I'll have him do.

Im speechless on the moronic moves i just read.
- im fine with simpson

the rest is hot garbage:
- just moved one of our worst recruiters to the recruiting dept. Genius!
- kept a DC that wont be serving as a dc. Still cant recruit and hasnt done anything with LBers
- praised a guy for ST work, that was literally 100% due to the actual legs of our P/K. Not for return yards, coverage or points.
- moved a young guy with no coaching experience EVER, at any level to our cb coach

just wiped away any hype i had about trob and TS.

just wow
