A note on Bob Shoop

[DTP]

has experience in the 4-3 but went to a 4-2-5 in 2018 with miss st. And that defense was elite. They were 2nd in ppg with 13.2. A huge one was they were 2nd in run defense. Giving up 95 yards a game on 2.87 yac. They were 7th vs the pass

That MSU defense in 2018 was legit. They played a big boy schedule and shut down pretty much everyone. Even the Bama game they lost 24-0 they held the Tide to 300 total yards and like 4.2 yards per play. All while their offense was going 3 and out all afternoon.

So by your theory, every coach who had a good defense can attribute there success to having a good player's. I mean of course it does, that goes for any coach in any sport good/great players make the scheme even better. Jimmy's and joe's over x's and o's. Except for when you have zach's and brandon's or jordan futch's or romello davis's

Man, those are some names from the past!

 

[Cribby]

This is a huge hire, a great defensive mind as an analysis.

I meant romeo! But u understand.

 

[TheEye]

You mean like Mar Whipple?

I'd take Whipple in a heartbeat…as an analyst.

 

[TheEye]

Wait, who is the defensive coordinator?

Nothing is set in stone right now. Manny still has the option to hire a dedicated DC or a new LB coach. Right now there are many options. ie. T-Rob resuming the DC role he had with SC when Muschamp was his HC/DC.

 

[BoxingRobes]

He's had years with 1st, 3rd, 14th, 25th, 16th, 14th in defensive YPP. Last year with Miss State was bad (first year post-Mullen), had some mid years at Tennessee...but otherwise a nice pair of eyes to have.

plus, to satisfy D-Money;s requirement that the person be a multl-sport athlete to succeed here at Miami, Shoop not only played football at Yale, but he was also an outstanding pitcher. this guy is a beast.

my only worry is @DMoney's other requirement that he be a city guy. any insight there?

no insight there, but i am trying to determine whether Shoop has any "twitch" or is, as is common known, "twitchety". moreover, we need to determine whether he can flip his hips or not, although I really don't want to find out. i'll leave that to that weirdo from new york.

U’re not; it’s in another thread.

I know he has his Michigan buy out money, but I'd imagine he will also receive a salary from Miami and his Shoop's tenure at Miami (let's say it's only 2 or 3 years) will outlive his Michigan buy out meaning that Miami will have to commit money to the guy.

Imo, this point still doesn’t prove that Miami is fully committed to winning. I love the move and 90+% of our fan base will and that’s my point.

Our administration gages where the level of respectability is every offseason according to the prevailing fan and staff (Manny and Ed Reed) sentiment, and thats what they allocate money towards. Not winning, but how much would it cost for us to appear like we are trying to win. This is definitely progress but it’s not full committal like the top programs from top to bottom.

Meeting the threshold of being considered competitive is the goal because that fills the seats and keeps tv revenue coming. A coach could keep this UM HC job for life (according to the administration) if he could just consistently be competitive. Our last 4 coaches didn’t lose their jobs for not winning, they got fired for being abominations and for not meeting the threshold of at least being competitive.

I used to get excited when this video came on, I thought this was thick, my my have times changed, women have taking bodies to a whole other level.

 

[grover]

Wait, who is the defensive coordinator?

+1. Super happy he's on the staff. But why not just give him the defense?

Maybe there’s others on the way???

Manny now has Blake’s salary to use. Maybe that was part of the plan all along.

 

[Artist Formerly Known As]

A good hire. An important aspect for Manny’s success is that when good analysts like him leave or are promoted, he replenishes those analysts with equally talented guys.

He's from Oakmont, PA too so the word on the streets is that he's solid around the greens.

 

[ssvir]

He held Bama to 24 points back in 2018 - their season low. He better get started on that game plan today.

That would be a good 1h

 

[ssvir]

Hopefully CMD is thinking this way ....

Make $4M a year and keep it all myself but risk getting **** canned within two years or ....

Use $1M of my $4M (equivalent of $600k after-tax dollars) and load the f-up on quality analysts to make sure I get that long term extension and pay raise and be able to demonstrate to UM they need to ante-up in the future on these analysts.

 

[BigWindyCane1]

Shoop and T-Rob on staff, and Baker and Banda are gone. This is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade to defensive coaching in Coral Gables. IMHO, we will see a big difference in this defense next season. No more bad tackling, bad angles, poor run fits, and poor game planning. And we also have coaches that have coached against Alabama.

I love this!
