Banda-Patke co-dc, Simpson associate head coach

[Cuban-Cane]

Lmfaoo I’m here for the comments. I told you guys this is a posibility. They don’t wanna change Diaz defense. I agree I’m just worried about the play calling aspect of it. But we have room for 1 staff member

And when we have a top 10 D next year what will y’all say??.. it’s about the culture change that manny brought to that D. Keep the culture rolling rather than start from scratch and hiring WHOLE NEW Defensive staff..why our fans can’t fully understand that part is beyond me. Y’all act as if Banda was not mannys 1st assistant of choice his last 2 successful stops and was a huge part of this Ds success this year

Pretty sure this means Richt is half dead. What a lazy hire.

 

[CaneFanWNY]

i remember when manny was hired, all you guys hated on that move like crazy. banda and patKe are likely running Mannys same scheme and are better recruiters. also, there's a free spot now

Who's patke brought in? Not trying to be a **** I just legitimately dont know lol

 

[TrueFloridian]

How do you make a guy who has never been a Fball coach until a few months ago the DC at UM? Diaz already said he's coaching the bowl game.

 

[jjjrcanes]

I take it all back. You’re not lying! Just read it on CS! What the mess!

 

[Firesite]

Just fold the program... **** is a complete joke.

I'm waiting to read a follow up tweet somewhere along the lines of:

When asked what position he plans to a hire a coach for now that there is an open coaching spot, Richt responded with "I'm happy with the current staff and don't feel the need to hire for an additional role."

 

[OBLIVION]

This program is dead. We made hires even Temple wouldn't make.

 

[datcaneguy]

1.5 million at your disposal and you promote 2 coaches to do the job of one. Fly the banners

 

[Mackmiller974]

I'm so done with this sorry *** HC. If this is not temporary or to save money for an OC then I'm giving up on this team

Trash! **** you blake james and Mark Richt

 

[Tad Footeball]

Richt trolling us lol

At this point I think it might be God trolling us.

If I know anything, the irrational overreaction to coaching hires on this site tend to be wrong (see: Jess Simpson), so I already like this move by Richt based on the responses. People want to keep the Manny Diaz aggressive defense. Makes sense to me to put the guys that know it best in charge. Let's hope it pays off.

 

[droneld]

I'm here for Richt doing everything the opposite of what the fanbase wants. Next he'll fill the open spot with Patke's cousin to coach LBs. This is great.

 

[sebsiman]

Fold the program. Stop caring and save yourself the sanity.
