Randy Bates - Pittsburgh DC

[247 Canes]

Let me be clear this is not inside information. Just think it's an upgrade.

Randy Bates DC

Under his belt as a DC at Pitt

2020 Defense ranked 20th Overall.
2019 Defense ranked 38th Overall.
2018 Defense ranked 75th Overall.

He was also the defensive coordinator at LA TECH in 2005 in which his Louisiana Tech defense forced 31 turnovers to lead WAC and rank ninth nationally. The Bulldogs surrendered their fewest points since 1994 and finished among the WAC's top three teams in rushing defense, pass defense, total defense and scoring defense.

Oh and btw, bring me his DL coach as well which doesn't need any introduction here.

Why not

OP..we don’t come here for insider info. There was no need to quantify..and I like that package

Let me be clear, this isn’t an expert opinion but just think that anybody, and I mean anybody else would be an upgrade over BB

Let me be clear, and I have zero inside information, but I could come up with a plan that would have prevented UNC from racking up over 700 yards of offense.

You probably don’t know the difference between C4 and C 2

In the first picture you posted he looks like manny’s long lost brother

C4 is what I would put to your post and C2 is what Baker ran against OSU that put us down 21-0

Is this even realistic? I feel like we’re throwing out names for guys still under contract, a lot. Lol.

It's as realistic as Manny Diaz & Blake James want it to be. And we will find out in due time whether that's today, tomorrow, or in a month. Unfortunately, patience is something we find hard to accept right now

I think we lose patience b/c other programs make moves ASAP

 

[I'm james Jackson brother]

NO **** NO

We are a fickle bunch. ***** if the staff is too quick and ***** if they take too long.

 

[JOE'CANE]

Why not

Except for leaving the wide open RBs and TEs down the middle of the field that defense was pretty stout. B4 the opt outs and injuries they were ranked #1 in the country in several categories.

Every coordinator is still under contract unless we’re talking about hiring a guy who just got fired or pulling someone out of retirement.

C4 used to give me the poops mid-workout, C2 sunk my battleship

Agreed, it seems when Manny makes moves he tried to be calculated. I'm just worried he doesn't want to give up his scheme and will keep Baker.

 

[The Franchise]

Isn’t this the guy who caught the cancer and Pitt and staff were awesome to him and helped get him through it? That stuff can create some bonds.

Plus I’m not all that impressed anyway.
