Eh, NFL and College game are a bit different. As a HC, you actually have more overhead than an NFL HC. You have boosters, recruiting, the handling of 18+ year olds. NFL has an offseason, college doesn't.

I'm only okay with DVD as he's holding onto the CB coaching title as a formality, we're promoting him strictly for recruiting purposes. T-Rob is coaching the secondary, and there are teams that have guys that are there primarily for recruiting - DVD is that guy. If DVD is a top notch recruiter...

Recruiting isn't something that you necessarily improve on. You either have the personality for it, or you don't (there's the bag equation as well). Rumph had 6 years and never showed any improvement in that area.

Brown could at least recruit. Blake can't even do that.

This is where we're at. Last season, we kept hearing that once we have a great OC, we're going undefeated, bro! We brought in a top 10 QB coupled with Lashlee who's a solid OC. Then, the defense regressed significantly. If Diaz can't see that the people he hired to do their jobs, actually can't...

Silver lining, if we see it, more influential people see this as well. And with that, Manny didn't really make the necessary moves that should've afforded him another year. From public perspective, Manny just pushed all of his chips on the table, and at the moment, Manny has a very low hand.

Pride and looking out for his boys.

Look at Manny's 3 buddies - Banda, Patke and Baker. Banda - moved onto a promotion where he's now a DC at Utah State. He's progressing in his career. Patke - retained. Baker - retained (and should've been fired). Has playcalling duties taken away. I was looking for Manny to do what was needed...

I'm assuming he'll be helping Simpson on the trail with his targets.

Makes sense to offset Simpson's lack of recruiting with DVD, then that's a win. Baker's just so bad though. We had an opportunity there and dropped it.

For Baker, it has to be financial at this point. Maybe he moves along next season. I'm just trying to wrap my head around this.

So Rumph is basically doing nothing.

No need to even mention holding onto his DC title. If demoted, you have no respect on the team you're on. Baker's a waste of space whether we we retained him (which we just did) or demoted him (he'd get no respect from anyone on the team). You want 2 things from your players, one of which is...

Such a big overlap with what T-Rob's doing and having DVD come in. What is DVD's role going to be exactly since the former's going to be coaching all of the secondary.

I'm fine with Simpson coming back. Even good with DVD as CB coach as it gets him on the trail and I'd imagine that he's acting as an assistant to T-Rob. Baker's the big disappointment. I don't know how he held onto his job. Manny choosing to still call plays shows me he didn't get the big...
