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.

Still bitter about Fleming eh?

No, never bitter.

But don't worry about me my friend, you all will see it for yourselves.

I'm guessing your hoping for that. I really don't understand wtf is wrong with this fan base. Instead of supporting your team and HC and hoping he bounces back and we start winning you want to see him fail so you can say I told you so.

It’s sad and pathetic. Shouldn’t even call themselves fans.

What don't you like about his coaching?

Really didn't see anything great from any of our WRs. Maybe it was Enos' offense but our best guy came in as basically a finished product and actually better playing at Buffalo. Harley, Pope and Wiggins were marginally better with more experience but still too inconsistent. Hightower disappeared and then hit the portal. JT looked worse than last year.

Stubblefield being retained is disgraceful.

Not as disgraceful as Patke and Banda still being employed at Miami

Good news for the people that think SFL receivers are overrated. Don't have to worry about getting them now.

The point of this is that none of this matters. Manny will be **** canned by November.

2021 is the class where several of them will be highly ranked & are being recruited by the best schools too...

Won't be able to use the "how come no one else wants them?" excuse either lol.

Before

"We are all disappointed by the 6-7 season and are committed to a top to bottom examination of the program and will make all necessary changes."

After

"We have completed our examination of the program. The findings are as follows:

1. Fans can go f#ck themselves."

I wouldve preferred for a new ol coach, and to scrap the db coaches and patke

For the record I want Rumph fired as well but Mane' Rumph musta push your girl PUSs in backwards

Minimal changes on the offensive staff gives me little faith in Lashlee. Who would take a job and not have a say in their own staff? From a historically horrific offense by the way.

Hate to say it. Straight facts.

Let’s be real. The offense is predicated on the o line and o coordinator. The other coaches impact on on-field performance will be marginal at best

After the season we had, to only replace 2 coaches is abysmal.

We lost to FIU, GT, Duke, LaTech and struggled with Central Michigan. THAT was much more than 2 lousy coaches.

You could fire every coach NOT named Manny Diaz and the problem would still be here.

The only offensive assistant who deserved to be fired was Butch Berry. I saw improvement from our WRs,RBs and TEs since last year. Our WRs were open constantly this year. We probably missed around 900 yards and 10TDs worth of missed deep throws this season
