Bob Shoop D in action

This play doesn’t tell us a thing.

I'm curious as to how all of these new coaches are going to work together...will they work well considering they hail from different backgrounds?

We just need them to do there MF job !!

Posted this in another thread but Shoop and Diaz philosophies align ALOT. Reading his quotes he sounds exactly like Diaz.

Just from watching this quick, you would of thought Manny coached this game himself, MSU played mostly 4-2-5, looked like they played their corners off majority in a cover 3/quarters look, had pressure package on 3rd n medium/long, bama looked like they were gonna light up score board scoring 21 first half points, msu adjusted and held them to 3 second half points, also pressure started getting to Tua and they shut him down at end of 3rd qtr after getting hit back to back plays and sacked on 3rd down 5 man pressure

This guy sounds like Manny long lost twin, they align philosophically dam near identically

"I’m definitely an analytics guy," Shoop said, "and the numbers say that playing good D is all about being efficient or creating negative plays on first-and-10."

If the goal of any defense is to keep the opponent out of the end zone — and what would the goal be other than that? — then Mississippi State has one of the best defenses of the past decade.


Through their 12-game regular season, Mississippi State permitted only 12 touchdowns. That number not only led the nation by eight scores (Clemson and Appalachian State both allowed 20 through their first 12 games), it’s the best number by any FBS team since 2011.

Only five Bulldog opponents posted more than 10 points. Four were held out of the end zone entirely, and a fifth — LSU — needed three plays to cross the goal line after taking over after an interception at the Mississippi State 3-yard line. In fact, even Mississippi State’s worst game was still a good showing, where the Bulldogs limited the nation’s No. 2 scoring offense to half its season average, when Alabama (47.9 points per game) posted a season-low 24 points against Shoop’s troops.

"What is non-negotiable, is we are going to be in your face. I truly believe in that. That is something that is important to me. We are built on relentless pursuit and never-ending pressure. That's what we talk about all the time. We fell short at times to that style of play at Tennessee. I don't think we were as consistent as I liked us to be. The things that are important to me are having the ability to stop the run and having the ability to eliminate chunk plays and having the ability to create takeaways. Be disruptive. Tackles for loss and sacks are something that's important to me. We must continuously be disruptive on the field. The phrase we have adopted on the defensive side of the ball is hunt. HTB – hunt the ball."

Feel like this is where the additions of Jess Simpson and T-Rob are going to be vital. In addition to Shoop. I’m happy with the staff changes, mostly because Diaz brought in guys from outside his coaching tree. Guys with experience, that come with their own philosophies, schemes and preferences. Hopefully that translates into different adjustments, game planning and scheming. The best leaders surround themselves with people who don’t think like themselves, in order to get different opinions/approaches, and evolve for the better. We’ll have to wait to see if Manny adapts and evolves.

What I put in bold is what I want to see... If Manny can do that then we're heading in the right direction...

Bill Walsh said it best, “If we are all thinking alike, no one is thinking.” Miami is not going to take that next step as a program if everyone is thinking like Manny Diaz, not brining any new ideas to the table.

Agreed, and I hope it happens.

Shhhhhhh, don’t rain on their Shoop suck fest

He’s not the defensive coordinator. I don’t think you actually understand his role.

Congratulations on finding a highlight from his 2 years at UT. Wasn't his rush D almost last in the country his final year at UT? His 2 years at UT pretty much killed what looked like a pretty good career.

The guy was brought in as an analyst. Not a coach. There is literally nothing to lose by bringing in an analyst that our coach trusts. manny can ultimately use 0.000% of what Shoop recommends and it won’t make a difference. but if he uses 0.001% of what Shopp recommends then its a good move because it is one more brain involved in decision making.
At least Rellyrell did some research to make his point. YOU just Jumped on the back of the first critical/negative comment you could find.
