Coach Ed Pata

[gogeta4]

Played against him in college. Watched him work as a recruiter for FAMU. Loved when we brought him on staff...He is the goods and a great recruiter.

FAMU gettin' alot of love in this thread! Lol.

But seriously, Mario is bringing in alot of young, hungry, talented coaches to the support staff. Hope he can hang on to them as long as possible. Seems like a really talented group overall.

Solid coach and even better recruiter. In South Florida, he holds as much credibility in the living room as anyone. If the family is Haitian, it’s a WRAP! He’s a closer

Pata coached with Coach Field at FAMU too back in 2015.

This is true. I remember when E. Pata and his brothers use to practice and play against my cousins back in the late 90's. Alot of trash talking for fun.

Yep, the family is Haitain.

He said some very interesting things about the increased energy and intensity of these practices, as opposed to the previous staff...

Was the TE coach at FAMU when I played ‘06-‘08. Good dude for sure.

I feel like we had this convo before but you played with the homies TJ Lawrence, Greg Clark, Adrian Smith. TJ might have transferred in from uf for the 08-09 season so you might have missed him by one year

It would be very miami of last 15 years to FINALLY get a legit impact QB and the coach decided to neuter him so he can ground and pound.. I wont believe it until I see it.. But this dude had Justin Freakin Herbert..

I think you can have an explosive offence that has a good run/pass mix. Oklahoma has had Heisman winners and prolific offences that still ran more than passed. The key is having a run game that churns out yards. Not one that has big plays mixed with lots of negative or minimal runs like we have had recently.

Yes sir. G-Clark and Adrian were cool. Don’t recall a TJ, but honestly I’m terrible with names. I don’t forget faces though.

Small world. Greg is actually my cousin somewhere down the line. Grew up at the same church, and park in bealsville even though he is about 5 yrs older then me. Adrian lived across the street from my cousin in the pines in Lakeland. I was in the pines every weekend and can recall plenty of days of playing football in the street with Adrian and the rest of the neighborhood.

He kind of resembles Kimbo slice
