Ed Reed and new defensive staff.

Hstokes1447 said:
As some here may know Ed, is a good friend of mine. When he is home in Atlanta we often hang out smoke cigars and talk Canes. Back in November we were having a conversation about the team (most I will keep to myself), here is the one thing I will share from Ed’s exact words

“Manny’s boys are the problem, I have 3 championship defensive playbooks in my office and not one member of the defensive staff has every asked me a question about defense, but the offensive coaches are in my office everyday”

He was deeply concerned about how bad the defensive coaching was and told me how he would regularly meet with the AD about fixing the coaching on that side of the ball. Today’s hire is a step in the right direction. Hopefully T-Rob takes full advantage of being on the same staff as the best safety of all time.

Key phrase "manny's boys" not coach rumph. In comes t-rob, if blake baker is still the d-co running all this scared man ****, will the results be different, or is manny hiring t-rob to be the d-co and making blake baker just the linebackers coach, it wouldn't make much sense for t-rob to be under-utilized.

If I was a college coach and arguably the smartest defensive player in the history of the NFL had an office in my building, the biggest problem would be me not harassing him with questions about EVERY little detail ALL THE TIME.

Ed would see me in the hall and have to go the other way.

The knowledge he brings to the table is literally invaluable. Pride is a **** of a drug.

Say whatever you want about Manny, but dont mention coach richt and coach diaz in the same sentence, that's the problem with many in here, you try and log things together that don't fit. Coach diaz has to continue to make several changes because he's the one who hired or chose to keep mediocre guys, whereas coach richt and already well established OC and headcoach, in the meantime while alot of morons were bashing coach richt who was in the process of rebuilding UM, and acting as if he took this program over from butch davis, all he was doing with the coaching staff he hired is:

* Brought back the 4-3 and was smart enuff to understand coach diaz would be a good fit here as a d-co even with that wile E. coyote defensive scheme!
* Win the only bowl game at UM in the around the last13years!
* Produced the last 10win season in over the last 17years!
* First actual on the field coastal division champs!
* First actual on the field earned ACC championship game appearance!
* Produced the #1 pass defense in the nation!
* Recruited and Produced True freshman all-everything in Ahmon richards and brevin jordan, (jt4 with better qb play would've been on that list or close)!
* Produced the first 1st round draft pick(njoku)at UM in around 8 years!
* Had Miami backed in/on PrimeTime t.v.!
* Snapped Fsu's 7 game winning streak which has ignited our 4 game streak on them!
* First time ever, (not that I care) having college game day at UM!
* Beat notre shame and V-Tech the same year!
* Spearhead the I.P.F.!
* College football Coach of the Year!

All in just 3 short years here and ****'s were complaining, lol, besides the 1st one and being apart of the pass defense, what has manny accomplished on this list. We got ****'s actually celebrating coach diaz replacing his hiring ***** up's, and trying to down coach richt.

I'll stop here for now, but you shouldn't make that mistake again!

Calm down there Jon Richt. You completely took my post out of context. Never once did I say your father was a bad coach. I have nothing but good things to say about him. Your father did many good things here at the U. Let me repeat, many good things. And he was a very good football coach.

But, but, but your father was stubborn. You recall when he was at Georgia his offense ran it's course but he refused to change it. He was forced to give up the OC role and give it to Bobo. Here at the U, same old story. And because of that the offense struggled mightily. He refused to remove Brown from his role when clearly he was in over his head, When players complained that the offense was so simple that the defense already knew what was coming, his response was those same plays worked 20 years ago. He refused to go spread like every other good team did. And the final straw, when he refused to fire you when given the ultimatum. He would rather retire then let go of you. That my friend is the very definition of stubborn and was the downfall of your daddy at the U.

So please go back and read my post. I never said your father was a poor coach. I lined him up with the 3 previous coaches in saying they were all stubborn. No one will disagree with that, not even you little Jon.

Where is your shop up here? I’d love to come in once this pandemic ends and talk Canes. I live in Buckhead.

I could not agree with this more.

What other changes did Ed think that Manny needs to make?

What an odd comment. We had a first round pick in ‘08 (KP), and none again until ‘15 (Flowers and Dorsett). Burns was a first in ‘16 (richt started coaching for the ‘16 season mind you), and Njoku was a first in ‘17. None of those first round picks were Richt kids. All were Golden recruits. And we’ve had zero first round picks ‘18-‘20.

Rousseau will presumably go first and I guess prevent Richt from having zero first round picks come from his time at UM. Phillips was a Manny kid. None of Richt’s offensive kids will be first round picks.

Not disputing any of this, but he probably would have had one in Richards if not for the neck injury

Hypothetical question if ed Reed was offered the dc position would he take it.i think with how smart of a player he was and a film junkie he would kill it.just like joe Brady did at lsu with very little prior coaching experience

Nah I doubt it. If he did it would be as a temporary sort of thing. Cause ed is gonna live his life regardless. It would be a nice boost in the meantime though.

One of the things that was alarming to me about Bakers defense is that too many times I'd see a 2nd or 3rd and long(like more than 15 yards) and I'd be thinking, "OK, guys watch for the draw and screen -- or some sort of QB run" And they'd get gashed for big plays on exactly that as our guys shot upfield

Again, forget the system or play-calls, but you have to have some sorta football IQ and awareness. To me, it was clear that our players were very lacking in that area, or the staff simply wasn't making them aware of situational football.
