Richt trusted Patke enough to promote him to assistant coach. He's been credited with implementing the striker position. Diaz trusted him enough to make him ST coordinator. Romeo FInley performed well at striker in 2018 & 2019. Why does everyone hate Patke?

But when Rumph can't close on kids for the same reason($) people fire him on the spot.

Why is everyone so down on Patke?

He's listed as 6'4. Which means he's probably 6'3 and 235. If he can get around 245 without losing explosiveness then he'll be ready to hold that line.

Yeah I mean there's really no big indictment of Stroud unless we're being nitpicky, nor is there a great reason to prop him up ahead of Patke, Banda, Rumph, Baker aside from being more experienced. As a staff they produced a defense in 2019 that many were critical of, and absolving Stroud from...

Collectively the unit performed pretty well in terms of sacks and rushing yards allowed. But there were high expectations for Garvin, Hill, Ford, Silvera that weren't quite met. To be fair, Silvera and Ford were coming off injuries. Patchan, Bethel, Nnoruka stole too many snaps from Rousseau...

Is Stroud still everyone's hero? https://www.canesinsight.com/articles/4-star-dt-commit-collins-goes-in-depth-on-pledge-at-ua-miami.6869/

Scott Patchan played ahead of Greg Rousseau for half the season but Todd Stroud is now some sacred cow? Must we be homers about everything?

Rousseau enjoyed an above average season. No one else did much. People are confounded by the hype of having Roche, Phillips, Rousseau in 2020. None of it means Stroud is particularly great or irreplaceable. If 2019 is any indication, he's probably not a great DL coach.
