D'Onofrio Interviews for Temple - Updated :-/ I haz a sad
Comments (269)
He just fielded the worst defense in the history of UM football. He has a rep for being very harsh with players. The only way he gets the Temple gig is if Golden has pics on the AD or President of the School and demands a favor.
Then why is he a finalist for the job? Obviously Temple cares more about what Dorito helped build at Temple than what he's done in two years with a bunch of scrubs at Miami. Not sure about him having a rep for being harsh with players but if it's true Temple didn't have a problem with it when he was their DC so I doubt they care now.
Al and Duh' were heroes at Temple. Just because Miami fans hate him for one bad year doesn't mean Temple feels the same way.
I think he went back to the Pittsburgh area where he originally hails from and did some radio/tv work for the
local media....I think some stuff with the Steelers.
By the way Chise, good seeing you out here.
I'm the dude from Maryland on the other site.
B/c he needed someone who knew South Florida and could relate to the kids.

When did we see his name with recruiting? I don't remember ever seeing his name involved with recruiting, but maybe I just wasnt paying close enough attention.
Yeah......and Temple is on the cusp of hiring him as head coach because he is "not capable of being a coordinator of a big program as of yet"? We got dictated to because we were hot garbage up front and young talent all over the field. Coach D isn't the problem and if he's here next year, he's gonna be passing out a lot of crow.
People need to get the **** over the argument about players not liking him.
First of all, it was most likely kids who were riding the bench and didn't like the matter-of-fact way they were told why. Poor babies. This is bigtime college ball here.
The real players on the team, like Tracy Howard, bucked back like a man but still took the criticism to heart and progressively improved over the season.
Unfortunately, we still have some whiners on this team and even more unfortunately, their parents who pop off in the media.

No one know's Coach D better than the current Temple A.D. He was offered the job post Golden without an interview, so obviously he feels different than you do.
We just need the best DC there is. If he's a good recruiter, that's icing on the cake.
The tail end of my post was meant to be humorous, old boy.
What we need is continuity and not making the kids learn new **** every year or two.

If u think temple is a big program I don't kno what to tell u...they just had a corch leave them...a guy in addazio who is a walking clown.we were outschemed majority of games an plays that worked ain first game of season worked last game of season..no progression I don't care how young we were
Never discussed but should be, coach d is amazing at finding talent. He is most responsible for some of the reaches, like e.j., that everyone gets so excited about. We will miss this part most IMHO.

The **** I've near read anything about D'onofrio recruiting the two years he's been here
I swear I was thinking this earlier. I hear about every coach, BUT D going out and visiting kids.
Philly inquirer reporting this morning it's down to Rhule and Coach D.
Come on mane, get the job coach D!
