Several questions:

1. Will AG do what needs to be done to improve the defense?
2. If yes, will he bring the right guy in who could run a more Miami personnel friendly scheme and give him the autonomy to do it?
3. If yes, would Jim Leavitt be that guy, and would we want him?
4. He's currently the LB coach for the 49ers. Would he accept the DC position if offered?

My thoughts:

1. Yes.
2. I hope so.
3. I don't know enough about him, but seems like he'd be great. Fiery guy. Assume he can recruit since he built up USF from scratch. Knows FL schools, athletes, etc.
4. I would think so. Brings him a lot closer to home.

Al has made it clear that there nothing wrong with the defense. Why would he fix it?

Why would Leavitt - a seasoned coach and one time head corch, want to coach under a buffoon of a corch?

Only reason is if he thinks Golden is on his way out and he could slide in to the head coaching job. It would make sense with how we handle our spot. Not saying it would happen, just offering the only explanation I can think of.

THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR IS NOT THE PROBLEM. AL GOLDEN IS THE PROBLEM. THE DEFENSE IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE ON THE TEAM. THE OFFENSE AND SPECIAL TEAMS ARE JUST AS BAD.

SEE POINT#2 ON SEVERAL QUESTIONS - Key word "autonomy"

What kind of HC whose specialty is supposed to be the defensive side of the ball give up full authority on the defense? Do you understand how dysfunctional of an environment that would be. Also, people are acting like the defense is the only problem. Its not! This team is slow, they struggle on offense, special teams is horrid, player development is terrible, so on and so forth.

Al Golden's problem is not a defensive problem, its a football problem. The guy sucks plain and simple.

Every 2nd/3rd quarter we bog down. Good teams accelerate, we hit the brakes.

It is so noticeable that my girlfriend, who watches every game with me, openly hopes for the 3rd quarter to just go quickly. She doesn't even care if we score points, she just knows it is going to be boring and wants it over with.

How about this staff for Golden since we know he isn't going to be gone next year:

Leavitt as D-Coordinator. I think he choked a kid

The Fat man Mark Mangino as OC. He belittled some players on the team and the players turned on him. He won an orange bowl at KU. That's unreal. He's an unbelievable college offensive mind.

These two guys have some dirt but can ******* coach. Get both of them and Golden can truly just concentrate on recruiting and being the face while these two psychos get everything out of the players.

One can only dream!!!
 
My top choice would be T-Rob. I think he's done a great job with the DBs at UF, he's from Miami, has shown repeatedly his ability to recruit and establish a strong presence in the S. FL community, including with kids Miami is currently recruiting. Just think he's the best candidate, and he fits completely into the kind of hires Golden has made in the past 2 years, dating back to Coley or even Cristobal (if you count that). I think there is still a very good chance there's a coaching change at UF come Dec/Jan. Even if not, that ship is likely sinking and T-Rob will likely be looking for work in the next year and a half (not that he'd have any trouble finding it). He's my top choice of candidates I can't think of off the top of my head.

I think Leavitt is just as qualified for an NFL DC job, and would likely prefer that type of an opportunity over returning to college. I don't think he'd return to college unless it was for a head job somewhere.
 
This should and may be the 1st guy on the list.

Problem is he is likely to get the Kansas gig. The AD there and Leavitt are very close.
 
He would be at the top of my list. Aggressive coach with hc experience. Runs an aggressive attacking 4-3 defense.

Mangino's got to be about 500lbs right now.

I have followed USF football for a long time living here in Tampa and I think that he would be a great fit for DC. He can wear on you as a HC and never developed anything on offense at USF other than a decent running game but at DC he would excel.

We don't need yet another recruiter on our staff like TRob. We need a ******* coach.
 
Jim Leavitt - DC

Ed Orgeron - Dline coach

Willie Martinez - DB coach

As bad as I want Butch, I think this combo would go a long ways towards fixing the defense.





But, I'm still preaching #BBB..
