Kuligowski

[RedSquare]

There are good position coaches, but it doesn't matter if they don't align with their colleagues and coordinator. Amd even if they do, it isnt some huge difference. What we needed was a DC who played upfield pressure attacking D. Kul coaching for Dorito wouldn't be a genius.

this.

Thank God someone feels the same as I do about Soldinger. Most overhyped coach maybe ever.

maybe not overhyped, BUT …..

couldn't recruit or evaluate talent, either.

his written evaluation of Clinton Portis is the stuff of legends. his whole thesis on why the kid shouldn't be recruited and would not be a feature back at UM is one of the worst HS evaluation reports since joe paterno thought jim Kelly would be a good linebacker

There has to be more.......................

Regardless of Kul's coaching ability, overrated or not, his style never seemed to mesh with what Alabama prefers in the first place. I thought the hire was dubious right of the bat. A guy who built his reputation on turning undersized linemen into sack artists was hired to coach an odd front team built around the biggest and strongest linemen possible? There's no way you can watch his lines at Missouri and even Miami and say "that's what Alabama wants their lines to look like".

Replace “position coach” with just “coach” and I agree with you.

The cult of coach worship in college football is getting ridiculous. Players win games, not coaches. There’s a reason left tackles get paid more than head coaches in the NFL, despite there being a salary cap for players and none for coaches.

The market value for one player is literally higher than that of a head coach.

There is no magical scheme. There is no magical practice regiment or anything else.

Alabama wins because they get every 5 star in America, not because Nick Saban is some savant. Clemson wins because they have a generational talent at QB and first rounders at the DL, not because Yabo Dabo has some super secret X’s and O’s stored away in his binder.

This coach worship is stupid fan ****. 99 percent of the time, winning and losing is on the players

You serious?

He’s so incredible that Sabag shytcanned him after one season, and no one else wants him despite being touched by Sabag.

Sabag just got a lifetime 3-31 HC a HC gig in the Big 10. He’s dragged guys out of drunk tanks and got them promotions after a year or two. Yet, this allegedly incredible DL Coach is circling the drain after 1 season.

Tool built this genius rap off like 4 guys in 15 years at Mizzou. This “position coach as deity” model that some of you guys subscribe to is laughable. There are no secret recipes anymore. Get any competent position coach some talent, and put that talent in a good offensive or defensive scheme, and he’s going to look good.

It’s like the guys who slobber over Soldinger because he was blessed with the best group of RBs in college history. When those guys were gone, Sol wasn’t as smart. Was Pat Jones a mega genius RB Coach? Did he teach Thurman and Barry how to be HOF backs? LOL

If you look at the guys Kuligowski has coached they were all very 1-dimensional pass rushers in college. His guys are aggressive upfield penetrators and they use the outside rip move. What else has he taught all these years?

As an example, Iowa DL might not be as talented but they are far more versatile with hand use, play a variety of alignments and show a greater understanding of how to counter specific techniques. You can tell their guys are well coached.

dont **** on soldinger. he wasnt a players coach but that guy knew the game man.

It was funny because when Kool left here, it was like manny was glad or didnt even care.

You serious?

Larry Coker won a national title, and almost won two.

Yes I’m serious. Players win championships, not coaches.

Yeah, sort of. I'm with you on the fact that the most talented teams usually win the most games but to totally disregard coaching is over simplifying the whole issue. If two equally talented teams face each other and one has a coaching staff that's running a scheme that maximizes their players' talents and the other has a staff led by Al Golden, I'm betting the house on the good staff. I've seen Miami lose too many games to less talented teams to believe that coaching and preparation aren't important.

The things that makes this all the moarrr rich and adds to your correct assessment here is that Jess Simpson (essentially a career high school coach) currently holds a job that Kewl has been trying to get for at least a decade.

How do you know what job kool has been trying to get? You don’t.

Simpson & Kool both were hired by guys they knew previously.

Kool is collecting 1.5 million the next 2 years...you think he wants to work when he’s getting that for free?

Y’all so dumb it’s crazy

The only thing loco is your ignorance regarding Kewl's multiple failed attempts to land any job in NFL.

 

[ddun1eavy2]

I said when we hired HS Coach Simpson that he’d do as well or better than Tool. Everyone was in a panic over losing Deity Tool. LOL

#Listen2TheLegend

I confess to not being as optimistic. It appears to me that Kool was great at the pass rushing techniques while Simpson's forte is run stuffing.

I see people post this stuff often about the coaches are just going to take the buyout and not do anything. Not sure if that helps their future as much. Now they are several years out of coaching and would rather just take easy money than try and go for the bigger money. Butch Davis took that approach with the Bucs and it seemed not help him get back to Miami or anywhere close. Which seemed to be his goal.

Edit:
How do we know that Kewl wanted to go to the NFL? You mean other than him interviewing every offseason to try and get a job?

 

[PanteraCanes]

From what all the insiders said, they entire rest of the staff was over him by then. They were mad that he was getting the most money on the staff, but did no recruiting at all while everyone else was busting it on the trail. Probably also upset that he put more effort into interviewing for NFL jobs than recruiting.

 

[grover]

I used to agree with you, but now its turned out that he followed up his final year recruiting effort here by doing the exact same thing at Bama. Bama poaching him was a blessing in disguise, and while being a college coach while detesting recruiting is contradictory its not like he was being spiteful towards us.

I think we're saying the same thing. I agree with everything you wrote. He looked good to me at first due to the production he had a Missouri, but it turned out he was a good line coach but a lazy *** recruiter. And both Diaz and Saban figured that out. I'm glad he left, Simpson was as good a coach and much better a recruiter, actually really **** strong. Hopefully Stroud can continue what Simpson started.

Right bc you’re his agent & know his failed job attempts. That might get you likes on this cesspool board but in real life you’re a complete freaking idiot.

Plenty of coaches do it. For your butch davis..I’ll raise you urban Meyer. Randy shannon did it also. Didn’t hurt their futures much.

Kool was interviewing for NFL jobs according to who exactly? Let’s say that’s true..how do you know if he was seeking those teams out or if they sought him out? How exactly do you know that? You don’t.

It would be worth any college coach time to interview for jobs at the highest level of football for the experience alone but you dudes are such surface level thinkers..it doesn’t matter if he sought them out or if they sought him out.

Very true.

Nick Saban doesn't win just because he has great players. There's more to it.

Cheating aside, he develops extremely good college football teams due to his coaching. Recruiting, evaluation, staffing, scheme, development, etc.

Do I have any respect for him, and would I want him coaching my son, or any team I supported? Certainly not.

But that being said, coaches are the reason teams lose games, a heck of a lot more often than they are the reason teams win games. And he's an effective coach because he knows how not to lose, just as much as he knows how to win.

Butch ONLY took the Bucs job and the Broadcasting job because of his buyout clause from UNC...He couldn't coach for 4yrs..or lose his buyout...

Because you'd have to be his agent to read about his numerous NFL interviews....that have produced no job offers. Perhaps you're illiterate? Have your caregiver fire up da Google machine and you can see that he was trying to get a job with the Bucs like less than 18 months ago.
