Manny Replacement

[HSFC]

3 scenarios : hire from recently fired list [ previous Georgia Tech, Louisville, Colorado staffs ]
hire an up and comer from lesser program [ ie. a 50 cent on the dollar guy compared to Diaz]
hire from within - none are appealing
4th scenario : could hire Jorge Diaz, current Southwest HS AD and hope no one notices its not Manny

 

[who]

Corey ******* Raymond. Just give him a look. Guy has to want to be a DC someday. Give him an interview.

He's one **** of a recruiter too

 

[MedleyCane]

It’ll be Rumph, and he will be a disaster. Can’t recruit at all.

He sorta did this with Willie Martinez at UGA, and that was a massive failure.
I doubt he repeats same mistake.

 

[Echtcane]

...I doubt he repeats same mistake.

He's been repeating this offense of his for 3 years.

Dewayne Walker is someone I think could be had. He's now the db coach for the Browns but was a stud DC for Ucla. If were going to go with someone with no DC experience I'd go after Torrian Gray or Kerry Coombs.

Gray is an interesting name.
Played and coached under Bud Foster at VT when they had good defenses.
Also coached for Edsall at UConn.
Currently coaching with the Redskins.
Another assistant coach with the Skins who may be relevant to this convo is Kirk Olivadotti.
Olivadotti's dad was the DC under Schnellenberger. He played at St.Thomas Aquinas and also
coached for Richt at UGA.

Schiano Sucks!!

His defenses been getting run over at OSU even with all that talent..let him stay up north.

Not on the defensive side of ball.
Pretty good hires after Martinez, including Grantham and Pruitt and before Martinez
he had Brian Van Gorder, who did well at UGA.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Never heard of 'em...

NFL washout. That's probably why.

 

[Echtcane]

All true. And he did hire Manny and let him run a very aggressive scheme, so there's that. Which makes the offensive thing more infuriating... but I guess that's been covered elsewhere.

Winston. Moss

 

[ssvir]

Jim Leavitt.

STOP. He makes $1.7M at Oregon.

Banda. Hes a smart guy and knows a DIaz defense like the back of his hand. He can be our DC and in two years when Diaz comes back (hopefully) after a succesful two year Temple career he can be his defensive coordinator. If we get banda and move Patke to linebackers and striker we have room for a OC. I hope Richt does this because I think Banda would come in without skipping a beat. Banda has been with Diaz for years and I bet he is up for the task

 

[NosniknoT]

It will be Willie Martinez, unless he decides he would rather stay at ucf

 

[canesbaby]

It will be Willie Martinez, unless he decides he would rather stay at ucf

Didn’t Richt fire Willie a few years ago? Why would he hire a guy that he previously fired?

 

[Invalid Username]

I just hope we make the hire quickly

 

[Invalid Username]

Surprised I didn't see a Jon Vilma, Ray Lewis or Ed Reed post lol

Fuller coached with Brown and Hartley wouldn't surprise me at all.

Fuller coaches ST and LB at Marshall

But

DC. Corey Raymond/Gene Chizik
DL. Simpson
LB/ST. Adam Fuller
DB. Rumph

OC. Jeff Scott/Kendal Briles/Matt Canada/ etc.

 

[Paranos]

If not Winston Moss, then Banda/ rumph are ready to be Co -DC.

 

[Home Slice]

Grinch for Christmas would be a bizarro conclusion to an asinine year.

 

[Umbra]

SMD and Barry both reference Tubbervile as potential replacement... https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article222815485.html
