Coaching Staff Update: 1/9

Stefan Adams

Jan 9, 2020 1 min read

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.

With all due respect to Stefan, I refuse to believe that Stubblefield is being retained. Why? Why would Lashlee keep him?

Just because he’s a country dude that doesn’t vibe in inner city.

That may be true, but there are probably a bunch of recruiters just like him that visit these same schools from out of state. I doubt they are icing all of them for being “country.”

You Stubblefield nuthuggers have absolutely no justification for the nonsense you're spewing about improvement.

Osborn was better at Buffalo by a significant amount.
Harley was fine, but his numbers are just a result of an increased volume of balls his way. He didn't break out at all. Marketshare was still sub 20%. I'd expect a breakout NOW under the new Lashlee system, but thats not on Stubblefield. Harley is just going to get a ton more balls in this offense.
Wiggins was and performed like a WR4. He'll have a chance to "show potential" this year, but again, that will be because of opportunity and the offense.
Jeff Thomas took a significant step backward.
Mark Pope did next to nothing. Again, he'll see an increased number of passes come his way in 2020. He was a sub 10% share player in 2020.

Stubblefield did nada to justify his job. Keeping him is laughable.

This guy gets it.

Sounds better than well-done steak...

None of these clowns have any connections and Miami is a ****ty job under these cucks.

We better hope it’s not. Regardless, we could do much better than Stubs. The fact he’s still here illustrates once again that Manure is clueless.

For me until proven otherwise Manny is a lame duck coach next year.

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.

I would definitely rather see Manny learn from his mistakes, evolve his game, and implement changes in order to succeed. I want wins, and so do most fans on this message board. Most fans don't actually want to see losses, even if it will hasten Manny's potential departure.

But when we see poor results, false bravado, and dead weight on the staff being kept around, it is serious cause for concern. There is a strong possibility Manny may never get it right.

The fact that he thinks the offense was legitimately the only thing wrong tells you all you need to know about him.

Bunch of position coaches that must have pictures of Manny and some farm animals.

And our DC must have pictures of Manny doing some kinky stuff with four midgets from the circus.
