Diaz will be the real secondary coach. Rumph and Banda are just here to recruit and run drills. Diaz will have full control over the secondary.

Whatever helps you sleep at night

I've been thinking about it and tend to agree with southbeach. I mean honestly when was the last time you saw two coaches take the secondary? It's not like their calling plays, all scheme will go through diaz. Rumph has nfl experience and will be there to teach technique, run drills, etc.

I could be wrong as i'm certainly no expert but I question how much they will do in terms of overall game day prep and calls during the game. They'll teach the safeties on how to react, tackle, break on a ball, force receivers toward help, and shed blocks. Ultimately it falls on diaz here though imo

Several schools has a cb and s coach. The NFL also does it.

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.

jesus, shut up. you sound like a petulant child.

Trust me, that "Ignore User" button isn't for show. It works. I'm using it on him now.

what if he's right?

You put your money on him if you want to I'll wait and see with my eyes. You guys can break this stuff down quantitative and qualitative doesn't matter. We will not know anything until Spring ball.

 

[canesrdynamite]

Kung fu Banda is such a kicka$$ moniker, I hope this guy kills it. Here's hoping he's the coaching equivalent of Kurt Warner.

We've got some salty *** mofos in this fanbase. Bunch of crap years will do that. Still, I haven't been this hopeful about what could be since fall of 2002.

Cautiously optimistic.

Complaining about the safeties coach lol

I'll trust the Pastor

^this. ya'll think safeties coach will matter in the long run then you are mistaken.

great position coaches don't make lateral moves. They are made by promotions via GA. corey raymond leveraged our interest for higher pay. Great position coaches don't go to other major schools to do the same thing unless it's a major pay raise or promotion(two things we can't offer).

It's crazy to me how people will just throw random *** names at a wall with no real insight on whether those coaches are good or not, and then get ****ed when they aren't hired. Nobody on this site knows more about safeties or coaches than Richt or Diaz so there's no point in *****ing about it


also they seem to think it's a solid hire:

Thanks! So many posters are acting like emotional mitches about the staff but I trust Ritch and the process. He has been saying from day one that its not about the fast hire, its about the best hire. I'm sure all of these moves are well thought out.... even if its not plan A.

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.

Don't Jump!!!! It will be okay, it will all be okay. I hear your concerns. I'm maybe 3 notches above
"wait and see". But, he's a proven winner. So, I'm very confident he knows what he's doing.

But, if you think Richt has no idea what he's doing . . . read on.

I wonder how he ended up on the list of most wins in his first 15 seasons ranked 4th in the history
of college football. Only Stoops, Switzer and Osborn rank ahead of him.

Do you really think Richt doesn't know what he's doing hiring these guys? These aren't quick decisions.
They are well thought out and are all meant to fit in with what he said:

"I want a very aggressive 4-3 cover 2 shell".

This is what most fans have wanted and miss from the great Canes of the past.

So, lets look at his first two Defensive hires and how they fit his defensive strategy.

His first defensive hire "Kool" the best DL coach in the SEC, if not in the country, according to some.
A guy who creates sacks and tackles for loss at an alarming rate. Call it havoc in the backfield!

He then brings in Diaz as DC and LB coaching experience, who's defenses have had some weaknesses.
But, they also had some great successes. Like producing more turnovers over the last six years than
any other DC. Forcing 40 turnovers in 2014, alone.

So, a monster D Line rush blitz with LB' stunting forcing fumbles and creating havoc in the backfield!
While our DB's are covering and picking off lots of forced int's, call it ball hawking!

If you want this aggressive ball hawking defense you're going to give up some yard's and points.

But, we won't die by a thousand cuts as we did with Doritos.

I now see why he hired who he hired. So, I don't know about you but, I don't think I would second
guess Richt. I know, he knows, how to get the defensive strategy he wants. And I'm going to
give this guy the huge benefit of the doubt. Why? Because he's a proven winner, period!

Amen! I like what Richt is doing. Looks like man cover corners and at least 7 savages in the box to wreak havoc! Fullyflacid should reconsider and enjoy the new mentality! Go Canes!

Hey weirdo! What are you doing being logical?

Dude you hit the nail on the head. I have sat back and laughed at how people are putting so much emphasis on a **** safety coach. They are so brainwashed by the "Golden Years" where every hire he made was skeptical at best, they dont see that a REAL coach is in charge now and he knows what hes doing. This aint amateur hour.

But I will bet you whatever that if we had hired "board favorites" like Gundy or Patterson or **** Dantonio NONE of their moves would have been questioned. They would have been labeled pure geniuses for every hire. Smh.

I see nothing wrong with this hire. Guy knows Diaz. Knows the defense and knows what the Safety needs to be doing in this defense which is HUGE according to people who have dissected Diaz's scheme. Apparently the safety position is very pivotal. Give me an experienced guy who knows this scheme over some big name who has no clue what hes doing.

Its really easy to put something out there that you can't prove.

Bottomline this board was supportive of the former HC way to long. So there are many posters credibility that will always just suck. They are the "HC knows best crowd". Get butt hurt anytime anything is questioned.

 

[sstcane]

Jeremy Pruitt was hired by Alabama out of a high school. They may be great recruiters and technical coaches. There are great young coaches and crappy old ones. We really won't know until we see the spring game and how they play next year.

 

[WestEndZone]

At least this dude knows the system inside and out; and a lot of these systems have the preferred techniques built into them. Those quality control dudes do nothing but study film in the context of the system. He's absolutely green, but at least he'll know which direction to point our guys. He has experience as a GA, so I have to assume that he has some on-field experience. Still, really doubt he's much of a technician. That being said, Safety is more about alignment, assignment, and instincts than anything else. I think it's the most mentally demanding position in certain systems (and this system in particular).

Pruitt was on Bama's support staff for TWO years prior to being named DB coach (sorry thought this was the Rumph thread). FYI I'm much more on board with the Banda hire over the Rumph hire.

[kalinis]

why do people have an issue with hiring a guy who was a cb and in college and elite one in rumph just because he coached in hs last.

id like to point out most of those *****ing probably love art briles. guess what he was a hs coach for like 15 yrs before baylor gave him his hc start.
michigan hired some hs coach and just promoted him to position coach and people on here talk about it being a godo hire.

gus malzahn started in hs as a coach and came into college and has been a solid coach as an oc and hc. so rumph could be a great hire b ased on that give him a chance to prove it.

banda earned his promotion has been coaching as a ga for a few years. people act like no one in college should get promoted on this board. if u worked a job for 5 yrs would u want to still be a **** intern? really give them a chance.
