Coaching Staff Update: 1/9

Jan 9, 2020

Since the offseason began, the coaching staff situation has been pretty volatile with multiple moves expected after a poor year. Now that Rhett Lashlee is in place at OC, there seems to be a little more clarity on the offensive side of the ball. For one, I’m hearing from a strong program source that Butch Barry is out as OL coach. The other name that had been brought up a ton as one that had been on the chopping block was WR coach Taylor Stubblefield, but I’m told he is being retained.

As I said last week, the rest of the staff on both offense and defense are safe. I would expect an announcement on Barry in the next few days and some OL coaching names to emerge soon after.

The wideouts didn't do bad this year the offense was just horrible for anybody to function in.

That’s fine. Stubbs needs to coach and field can recruit. Stubbs is not one of the major issues.

OL, CB and Patke are all bigger issues when it comes to coaches.

Believe it or Patke knows his X and Os very well just think he Is still learning on how to best take his knowledge and teach it to the players

Serious Question...

What did Stubblefield do that was so bad he should be fired? We're our WRs not getting open? Did they not improve from last year? Did he fail in recruiting. Was two All American WRs and Restrepo a bad haul?

this.

he did well with what he had this year. that's all you can ask if any position coach. like our OL, the WR's were hampered by Enos as much as anything. even so, Stubblefield managed improvement from his position, with pretty much every player except JT4, who is such a condom head, Vince Lombardi couldn't have squeezed more out of him than Stubblefield.

maybe Lashlee has someone else he'd like to bring in, and maybe diaz agrees and decides to make a change.

who knows. that happens all the time. sometimes even good coaches don't get retained. that's the nature of the business.

but let's not pretend that stubblefield didn't do a good job last season, because he did.

i dont quite get the hate for patke coaching wise. recruiting is a diff story, but that goes for him, banda, and rumph. no one was fixing the kicking game this year unless you were a shrink

people want to fire him bc he was associated with enos and bc a couple mouth breathers said air force and non miami guy who ran off hightower. either way, i trust lashlee knows what he wants for his O and if he thinks stubs can handle it, then so be it. if not, theyre all gone next year.

Your post is horrendous, man. Like, Taylor Stubblefield coached you on how to make this post.

He's doo doo and your rationale is baseless and without merit. Fans with this mindset is in part of the reason why we stink. You've got bottom of the barrel expectations.

I'm going to use Mike Harley as an example because people have a real misunderstanding what real improvement is.

Did Mike Harley improve? Marginally, yes. Did he improve exponentially...not on any planet we currently live on and I've been one of his biggest supporters on this forum for a long time.

2018.

12% Share of Completions
11% Share of Yards
0% Share of Touchdowns.

As the teams FOURTH passing option.

2019

15% Share of Completions
15% Share of Yards
11% Share of Touchdowns

As the teams SECOND OPTION.

So, what does this mean? His role increased, therefore, he received more counting numbers by proxy of his move up the depth chart. But, the reality is, the improvement was marginal, statistically and could be attributed more to an increased role and increased volume of balls in the Enos offense, as well as Jeff Thomas' lack of availability.

But EL OH EL if you think Mike Harley's improvement had anything to do with Taylor ******* Stubblefield.

The buffoonery on this forum and among this fanbase needs to stop.

I just saw another SEC bag man drop off something for you.

true. plus, let's be clear: as for special teams, the head coach oversees the kicking game, so patke is not on an island there.

patke coaches the strikers. one position. he's not the LB coach, that's baker, he coaches ONE GUY on the field.

i'm pretty sure that there were more problems with our defense this year than the single player that was in the game whom patke was coaching. it's like blaming field, the TE coach, for the offense sucking. to do that is to really be missing the forest because you're too busy staring at the **** trees.

again, don't know if patke will be back next season, or if there will be a change. we will know for certain when spring practice starts.

he's young, learning, and would I rather have ron rivera coaching the position? of course. but let's not pretend patke has d'onofrioed the defense either .

I don’t care if we keep him or not but your argument is off base.

Wiggins had major improvement and actually caught the ball for the most part this year.

Harley has the best year of his career.

Jeff Thomas quit again and that’s not on Stubb.

Pope is Pope. Too small to beat press coverage and Enos didn’t put him in position to succeed.

Enos is the reason WR didn’t do much not Stubb. Stubb doesn’t call stupid *** plays, Stubbs didn’t make Jeff Thomas quit again. Who knows why Hightower really quit. Njoku couldn’t see the field with any coach.

you can’t honestly Judge the guy one way or another on if he should stay or go. He may still get fires or maybe we don’t have any other options really wanting to come here that are better.

Wiggins improved.

Harley set the NCAA record for most 1 yard receptions.

Don't "Pope is Pope" us.

Hightower, Njoku, (maybe) Pope, and (to an extent) Thomas are choosing to leave rather than to spend another year working with Stubblefield. IF IF IF the reason for these three (or four) leaving has to do with Stubblefield, then you fire Stubblefield.

If this was one player choosing to leave, maybe blame the player. If one-third of the WR room is choosing to leave (and/or leave early), then you have to look at the coach.

Uhm did you watch the Duke & FIU game? They figured us out. Press our receivers a bit and they crumble. They can't separate or create space for themselves. It's a blend between elite receivers that we do not have and coaching/scheme.

Anyone saying our WRs weren't a problem must not watch a lot of college football. Our receivers struggle to create separation and fight for the ball. Our best WR was a Buffalo transfer and even he had problems with dropped balls. Did Enos's play calling hurt? Yes. That doesn't mean our WRs were blameless. Both of these things can be true simultaneously.

Maybe Manny firing Enos, and then hiring Lashlee, then getting rid of Barry made Stubbs able to plead his case to Manny/Lashlee that he could operate under Lashlee.

Kind of like in Scarface when Tony offers Ernie a job after Ernie just watched him shoot down Lopez and Bernstein.

Meh. Firing a guy after one season meant he was abysmal. Stubbs wasn’t that bad. I think a lot of posters are just following the crowd. Our WRs made strides this year even with this crappy offense. And he recruited well all things considered. Redding and Daz are All Americans. Retrespo is locally respected as a stud. Can’t ask for much more.

think they went off of the board guy and his relative not playing or transferring and its been downhill on stubbs since then.

Stubby should have been FIRED yesterday! Him coming from the Air Force Academy. Which has been historically a RUNNING offense for the past one hundred years. Even mighty Oklahoma eventually abandoned the wishbone offense. :ttdg2m10mxvzxan.jpg:
