Yes or No: D'onofrio is gone after Saturday

[CaneAlmighty]

we need to replace the departing jag at best Seniors with better players more than needing to replace Coach D.

And watching some game replays gives me hope.
First of all not sure why Kirby wasn't getting in games more. He and Figs will without a doubt be an upgrade over Gaines and Cornelious.
If Perryman stays and Golden gets some Juco DL's that can come in and be upgrades over the guys that are leaving this front seven all of a sudden becomes formidable.
Add Carter and hopefully a healthy Bush and things are looking better from a personnel side compared to this years talent and depthwise.

I think the coaching staff can figure out the schematic issues they just need the personnel to make it work.
We could have ran our traditional 4-3 Hurricanes defense and the results would have been no better.
When I tell you our LB and Safety play was horribly bad it was. No scheme would have helped.

Stop talking logic..these loser naysayers dont want to hear it. They think that another DC could get Highsmith and Rogers to play like Sean Taylor. They think another DC could get our front four to mount a bull rush or our LBs not to run 5.1 40's and look terribly slow.

LMAO, your boy had two full years to recruit talent to replace Highsmith and Rogers. I guess it gets no blame for that.

Wow.. 2 full years. And they have recruited talent to replace them. Bush is the true starter but he's been injured for the most part this year. Jenkins is not done developing.
And Carter, but wasn't ready to move ahead of the HS and Rodgers as a true freshman, but I have not doubt he'll be better than both.

Here's what we know:


I think Golden and D'Onofrio might make tweaks to the scheme (e.g. more slanting and shooting gaps up front), but I don't think D'Onofrio is going anywhere.

What makes you think they decide now to tweak the scheme when they've been running this for years?

If all the things you've said are true, why would Golden now decide the need to change his coaching style? If they've had success with this before and Golden loves him some stability, he's been heavily involved in the gameplan and preparation why would he decide now to change? This is who Golden and Dorito are. I don't seem these changes that you do.

We are seeing the same thing here as what went on at GT... golden comes from the Groh tree. The D won't change unless Golden is gone or he swallows his pride and gives up his broken philosophy.

I'm not saying they will.

I'm just saying that if there's a change, it will be of that variety instead of heads rolling.

The franasshole has spoken. Why don't you show everyone what kind of pull you have,(besides johnsons}and march your *** down to the Gables and demand change. Tell Al what an *** you think he is to his face. Your a gutless piece of **** internet fool who worships his own posts. You can't do a thing besides whine like the ***** you are and parrot what every other tool on this board posts. Your misery brings such joy to me during the holidays.

There is no way but good Lord maybe he should.

Coaches tweek there schemes all the time.
No one is saying wholesale changes are going to be made just tweeks.

I really think people need to reserve finally judgement until they have pieces in place to run what they want.

You can't judge the defense with the guys they had lining up in the two deep.

Do you even get how ludicrous that sounds? Square peg round hole. So if they still don't have the right pieces in 2014/2015 we should just keep waiting? Lets not adapt a scheme that would work for the skill set they have, lets just keep waiting... wow

The problem is that Ed Reed would probably get splinters if he was here now. Reed played the ball, not assignment. He is the opposite of what Al wnats in a player. Ed freelanced all the time. Al has consistantly BLAMED blown assignments and freelancing for all the defensive problems. His defense is based on keys. See key, and react. I wonder if Barrow would have been anywhere near Vanover to make that great hit under this system. Our best hope is an increase in talent, but what talent?

We had a tuck load of talent for several years after our last NC, but never won another. The greatest collection of talent ever assembled was done in by bad coaching. Al has proven he is better organized and a better recruiter than Coker and Randy. Now he needs to prove he is a better coach. That is not a very high bar to clear, but at the moment, on the D at least, he is falling on his rear end.

I agree with all that. I wonder, though, if Golden doesn't mind freelancing as long as you make the play. I think he is referring to guys who freelance but who put themselves in a worse position than when they started because they thought they saw something that didn't really exist.

Luther Robinson got benched last year against BC for going outside of the system even though he was making plays.

WHEN our defense gets lit up, dont be surprised if changes are made.

FIFY

hope you're right

 

[Bigtip]

Here's what we know:

1. Golden and D'Onofrio are best friends.
2. Golden is a loyal guy who believes in stability.
3. Golden and D'Onofrio are on the same page philosophically when it comes to defense.
4. Golden is actively involved in every facet of the program.
5. They've had success running this defense before.


Looking at all of the evidence, what makes people think D'Onofrio won't be back?

Now there could be things going on behind the scenes that we aren't aware of. For example, there have been rumors that D'Onofrio hates South Florida, has a rocky relationship with some of the high school coaches, and some of the players on defense have tuned him out. I'm not saying I believe all of it (or the degree of it), but the **** has been floated.

If D'Onofrio gets fired, I doubt it will be because Golden thinks he's a bad coach schematically; that reflects poorly on Golden because this is his scheme. I think it'll be because he needs a scapegoat, or D'Onofrio has such a bad rapport with other people that he has to go. Golden has built up a lot of goodwill, so despite the protestations on message boards, Golden isn't desperate enough to need a scapegoat yet, and I don't think D'Onofrio is so churlish and despised that he has to be ****-canned.

I think Golden and D'Onofrio might make tweaks to the scheme (e.g. more slanting and shooting gaps up front), but I don't think D'Onofrio is going anywhere.

he will be around October or November of 2014 if he keeps this defense and Dorito

pure blind fantasy to expect any difference at this point.

the answer is that the success that these guys had at Temple on defense was really a mirage of playing really ****** teams

 

[Pennmed Canefan]

I think it depends on the game but I think that UL Will score a lot of points and force his hand. No matter what he wants to do he will not be able to sacrifice the program for Dono.

 

[Hurricane23]

our defensive problems are not entirely coach D's fault i think it's 50/50
