*Coach Kool Gone...headed to Alabama*

Honestly kool has a NFL coach mentality, all he wants to do is teach his craft and thats it so im amazed he hasn’t moved on to there yet
 
Dammit mane, I'm just finding out about this ****... Big loss, but who did he recruit this year?

Wouldn’t surprise me if his personality has kept him out of an NFL job. Listen to the guys interviews. He’s not an impressive speaker and probably why he is a pure position coach that will never be anymore. Nothing wrong with it.

The NFL is loaded with those type of guys, so i don't think that played a role. I just think he was comfortable at Mizzou doing his thing, being good at it, and being left alone. Miami is a different animal. I do think he enjoyed molding kids as well and watching them burst on to the scene. Most Dline coaches in the NFL get zero credit.....it all goes to the players.

I think what kept Kool from the NFL is the hours and the grind. He didn't have to grind at Mizzou, he didn't want to grind at Miami and he would be expected to grind in the NFL with the longer season, off-season camps, etc.
 
Anyone hinting at Kool not being a great coach in this thread is letting their emotions of the situation (or bias of terrible recruiting) get the best of them. The way he turned this Dline around was something to watch. RJ made strides as a sophomore but took it to another level this year. Djax and Trent flourished as well.

Last night i was really bothered by the news for 2 reasons.....
1 - The D was hitting it's stride and our defensive staff is green as ****, so having a respected guy with the track record of Kool was a good thing.
2 - It's f'n Bama. I'm tired of Saban and tired of Bama. I'm tired of the uneven playing field and can't stand guys who have free reign and power to do anything and everything they want without rules, limits, etc and being so smug and slimy about it. I respect the man bc he's good....he's really good.....but someone needs to bring that program to its knees.

Today though, i'm more irritated than anything. There is obviously more to the story and if Kool doesn't want to be here, then deuces. GTFO. Richt just better not give Manny autonomy and blow this hire......if we miss, this hire could really set us back. We need a name or strong presence....a respected coach who is a teacher AND recruiter. With this green D staff and the Dline talent in Florida, we need a guy who can walk into a living room and have respect of those kids/parents.

Nice guy and terrific coach. However, he always struck me as the guy who didn’t quite fit in, in relation to the rest of the staff. I haven’t heard complaints from any D-Linemen, but he seemed like a guy who has trouble relating to the type of players being recruited here. I think the NFL is where he belongs, but this is a big loss as far as coaching goes

DJ might have been on to something.....
 
Saban loves to hire UM coaches:Stoutland,Pannunzio,Cristobal,and now Kool.Smart at Georgia is not only following Saban 's formula for recruiting $$$ but has also hired UM coaches like Beard and Coley.

Some of you have a short memory.our d line sucked before coach kool got here.we better hope whoever is hired does just as good a job coach kool did.if d performs better in 18 you could possibly add Diaz to that list.

They all know that they cannot win or compete with us without South Florida and Florida in general talent
 
The way I read it is that Kul had a bag packed last year. Richt made him asst. HC which means nothing. I don't think he necessarily forced him out this year but when he decided to interview at TB Richt now realizing that he may be a net neutral as an assistant coach basically wished him well and did nothing to talk him out of leaving. The bottom line is that I think Richt has had time to prepare.
