Coaching DC Candidates

[stormbrewing]

Why not Jason Taylor...he's seen it all and at the highest. Plus, who's going to say no to him when he sits in your living room recruiting Defensive players....

Miami got a top 10 budget. But going to take on an unknown project? Seems like another disaster in waiting

Maybe he prefers to be an analyst and not have to go out recruiting. Not like he needs the extra money.

When staff leaves to go to Bama and you see it as rats leaving a sinking ship, you might just be a mope.

collins should be easy. he literally coached w mario before. if it isnt collins, he either doesnt want to work w mario again or figures he could get a better DC gig

It don’t look like Mario’s pick will be Strong, either, cause apparently Ol Charlie was in Bammy day before yestiddy. Who's next?

That’s from February 2020…

Dang. Thanks. Didn't realize that, but I do know Saban is trying to sign him.

Question, & I’m not trying to be argumentative, but just a ?

I’m going to assume u’re referring to Collins’ 2 yr stint at UF as a DC, correct, when they were fielding an elite defense? If so, could it possibly be he produced an elite defense b/c he had Shannon as a Co-DC?

The reason I asked is b/c at Miss St, prior to UF, his defense wasn’t elite. 1st yr they were 18th, & his 2nd yr they were 84th. Then I look at his tenure as a HC after UF; he supposed to be a defensive guy, right? Well at Temple, he coached the 54th & 47th ranked defenses, which is pretty meh, however by comparison to his tenure at GT, that looked elite! At GT, the defense was down right deplorable; in fact, they got progressively worst every year until he was finally fired.

So help me to understand the obsession, besides those two yrs at UF.

Good question and I’m not necessarily a Collins guy but I think having Shannon could have helped. but it was Collins defense and his scheme. Maybe he is a guy that has to have the players to really produce which is similar to Steele imo. Me personally I would rather take a shot at Leonard

Strong hasn't called a Defense in almost 14yrs....if that's our answer at DC....I honestly don't know what to say.

He ran texas defense in 2016

 

[252cane]

Does he? Was just looking and saw he had connections to partridge and strong and isn’t a complete bozo

That’s what was said about it some years ago but he might have changed since then

What rankings are these?

F+ has him

MS:

2013: 19
2014: 16

UF:

2015: 9
2016: 7

Temple:

2017: 39
2018: 40

Pretty impressive as a DC. Throw in that he’s a beast on the recruiting trail.

No he didn't...Vance Bedford did...and they went 5-7....

 

[252cane]

Collins is getting 10+ million from gt he is probably not coaching next year

No strong called the defense in 2016. He demoted bedford

he also worked for Mario as DC for one year and they led the sun belt in total defense, scoring defense, and turnover margin tha tyear

success at multiple stops, collins is solid and has familiarity with mario
