We should bring back Golden.

So the solution to everyone's concern about Diaz's scheme needing elite DB coaches is hire two guys who have never coached on the college level before.

When, not if, we get roasted next year, I don't want to hear a single complaint about our players or the old coaches. This is the staff now. Dig your heels in and defend it. But it is a terrible, terrible defensive staff outside of Kool.

Calm down.
 
Yikes. That's a lot of coaches on staff with very minimal experience. Panda, Rumph, Richt Jr., Hartley are all basically rookies. Let's hope it's a good mix of teachers and young hustlers.

LOLOLOLOL an absolutely miserable hire again. It's obvious Diaz doesn't want any real coaches running his secondary who dare to challenge him when he gets roasted by every passing offense he faces. Aside from Coach Kool our new Defensive staff is no more experienced or qualified as the old one. Truly pathetic job here by Richt allowing Diaz to hire amateurs.

Aside from Dorito, all three of those guys actually coached college before. We just hired two interns and expect them, plus a guy who was run out of Texas for epic failure defenses, to get us back to Miami football? LMFAO good luck.

When we are trashed next year, let's see how you squirm out of it. My guess is Dorito will get the blame for a year.

Banda worked with Diaz at Texas and last year, at Mississippi State. He was a three-year defensive graduate assistant for the Longhorns (2012-14) and was a defensive quality control assistant for the Bulldogs last year, working wtih defensive backs.

Banda has a unique backstory. Seven years after graduating high school in 2000 — after making his living as a bartender — he walked on at fledgling Incarnate Word as a safety in 2007. He was reportedly one of the oldest players in college football. A knee injury ended his college career in 2010 — when he was 29. He was known by some teammates as “Grandpa.”

He began as a student coach after that. This is his first collegiate coaching position, which gives him something in common with new UM cornerbacks coach Mike Rumph, who accepted a position Monday.

Banda’s group of returning safeties includes seniors-to-be Rayshawn Jenkins and Jamal Carter, sophomore Jaquan Johnson and redshirt freshman Robert Knowles. Three-star recruit Cedrick Wright is UM’s safety commit.

OH really? B/C I was told the reason Diaz had to play off-man zone defense all game every game is bc they stunk? Which is it? Either this guy can't coach DBs, or Diaz loves him some soft zone.

not a fan, but nothing we can do about it now. we are at the mercy of Brother Richt, and I think that's a good thing.

You don't know what they are going to do. Instead of *****ing and crying in every thread wait to see a actual game. If the job is not getting done then your crying will be justified.
 
Would rather we brought back hurlie brown instead of him but whatever. I like the searels and rumph hires a lot. Let's give the safety coach a chance
 
Again, how do you criticize a hire before he has a chance to prove anything ? Contrary to what you might believe, Mark Richt wants to win football games. He isn't here to sabotage the program. He has to have some confidence in the hires and at Miami, they have to make economic sense. You therefore have some limitations and not every single hire can be a NFL position coach. If you aren't happy with Rumph and Banda then you should at worst be neutral until you see what they can do along with Diaz. To say they will fail before they even start is ridiculous.

Ephraim Banda is in his first season at Mississippi State as defensive quality control.

Banda has assisted defensive coordinator Manny Diaz in 2015 and worked exclusively with the Bulldog defensive backs.
 
I mean it's not shocking that the best Richt could pull was Panda and Bumph.....Not a lot of coaches want to work for an arrogant know it all whose last major gig ended in epic failure.

I mean seriously, thank god we locked up Kool before Diaz. No good coach is going to want to be coordinated by Spanish Dorito, it's a career killer.
