I love his fire and passion as a motivator, but who is he? I know CMR brought him over from UGA..
As our TE/Special Teams coach and someone who's never laced 'em up, what are his qualifications?

It can be done......Pagano (STs & DBs) did both at a Very high level at UM.....So did Soldinger (TEs & RBs)....
 
he recruited two of the best TE's in the country this cycle. our TE's have excelled under him. im not knocking him as a TE. thats not fair.
as a ST's coach, hes no better than golden.
 
These kids (aside from DJ) don't have that Dog in them either.....Seems playing STs is a demotion in their mind.....Sean Taylor was a 1st Team AA in 03.....Not 2nd...Not 3rd....A certified Top 5 pick his Jr yr......For 4 yrs...(most notebly 03) he couldn't wait to try to Decapitate someone on every PR....KO return..etc.....
 
He’s fine as a tight ends coach, excellent recruiter but a horrible special teams coach. Would have rather hired a full time special teams coordinator than giving patke a job who Has done a horrible job with our linebackers the last 2 years

He’s a great recruiter and has been a great TE coach

Asking him to also do Special Teams while Little Jon collects a paycheck in return for nothing and Patke coaches one third of one position is stupid

Typically when you have a coach who solely works with outside Lb’ers, it’s usually in a 3-4 scheme. Typically they work the DE’s and OLB’ers together. I find it odd that Patke only works with OLB’ers.
 
He’s done nothing to show that he’s anything more than a mouth breather that became a good recruiter by chance... he is a terrible TEs Coach and The worst special teams coach of all time. Needs to be fired or relegated to only a recruiting / grad assistant type of role

Well, *****, well said.
 
Georgia offered him double his salary in the offseason. He turned them down.

Don't bash your gems, you may miss them.

Unfortunately Hartley doesn't coach ST's well. But he recruits and coaches TE's really really well.

The problem is you have Richt Jr. who essentially does nothing. And we brought in Patchke as a LB coach where Diaz already does that.

With that new hire, Miami should've got someone who was a good ST coach at the very least.

Has he though? Jordan looked good running routes in his first game but nothing to show for it. Herndon was not his recruit, Haskins bolted, Irvin was about to get passed up and polendey has yet to see a meaningful snap.
