He’s been awarded DC of the year twice by different publications and was a Broyles award finalist in 2018. IF we’re hiring a DC you’re not gonna find many better at the moment and you don’t have to outbid anyone to get him.
Thats probably what will happen. Just with Baker gone you have a legit DC candidate who you already appear to want if Ferman is to be believed. Make Shoop the DC and that lightens his load even more.
With Baker gone I'd take the former Broyles Award finalist in Shoop at DC over a potential stud recruiter as LB coach. Diaz can coach LBs since that his position.
He wasn't failed. Michigan hired a new DC and Shoop was away from the team for something undisclosed which is why I brought up "similar to Stroud". Maybe it was strictly COVID related but he wasn't doing on-field stuff in November
Shoop is too good of coach for an analyst role here unless he has an issue similar to Stroud. It would be very Alabama like for a coach of his caliber to be an analyst here.
He won defensive coordinator of the year back in 2014 and 2018 from a couple different publications. Was a Broyles award finalist. IF Manny wanted to turn the D over to a guy Shoop would be a good choice
He's a DB coach when he isn't in the DC role so unless he's the DC I don't see a place for him. Never been a LB coach. But has been a DC at Penn State, Vanderbilt, Miss State( didn't coach with Manny) and Tennessee.
