OT: Mike Elko staying as DC for Texas A&M (Manny Diaz HC watch)

[OrangeBowlMagic]

How much is Diaz making? He made 575k his last year at Miss State. I doubt he's even sniffing a mil right now.

He's making about $1M.

He flirted with some jobs last year and Miami gave him more money.

Also this also might mean Patke and Banda are gone. I’m fine with Rumph taking full control of the DB room but LB is gonna have a huge hole coaching and recruiting wise.

 

[RaisingCane26]

You guys still discuss Corey Raymond as if it’s a possibility. A lateral move with less pay.

**Edit: was thinking of Aranda at LSU my fault.

 

[canesbaby]

Oh! That’s Willie Martinez. He was UGA DC for like 2 years. Good friends with Richt and definitely not Manny.

First guy I thought of as well but somebody else posted earlier this week that he signed on as LB coach somewhere else? If not, I would put it at 75% likelihood that he's the next DC which will further demoralize the fanbase.

 

[RaisingCane26]

And if Diaz goes I would think Banda would go with him as well, maybe make him DC. But if that happens, I think it hands Georgia Tyrique on a silver platter.

You guys still discuss Corey Raymond as if it’s a possibility. A lateral move with less pay.. makes sense, on a UM board.

They are talking about him as dc

 

[CTCanes]

If Diaz does leave, I'd be on the horn with Corey Raymond in 0.3 seconds if I'm Richt.

Can we pry him away from LSU? He bounced around for a bit, but has been back at LSU since 2012.

Would be a promotion and as long as Aranda is there he won't get a shot at DC there.

Except UGA just lost their DC so we would be in the same position

Raymond is a DB coach at LSU. It wouldn’t be a lateral move to bring him in as DC.

Personally, I think we can do better though.

I'm sure he wants to move up in the coaching world. Dave Aranda isn't going anywhere. Only a matter of time before Raymond is a DC. Why not here?

 

[RaisingCane26]

My bad was thinking of Aranda at LSU.

They really should be talking about bringing in a guy like Michael Barrow who can also coach LBs.

But Georgia's DC left also for another HC gig...

Not ironic at all that you're making a joke about said Miami board being moronic while making a completely moronic and uninformed statement.

You don't know what you're talking about, yet, you're still talking. Makes sense, on a UM board.

I would take barrow as Lb coach but not Dc.

 

[Zbrod95]

Doesn’t have to be THE dc. Combine it with a guy you think can handle it.

 

[Zbrod95]

All in all, it has to be a guy from an aggressive mindset...heck Alex Grinch from OSU will probably like to call plays.

it has always been kirbys defense doe

Miami can't do what other schools do.

We have offer first, wait until last, never lose coaches, hire handlers/HS coaches.. and still get friend zoned
