Ron Dugans appreciation thread

[SinCityCane]

Am I glad he didn't go to Tally with Taggart. Since he came in, we've seen Ahmmon break our freshman record & Berrios make a **** of a jump in his senior year - into a future terror in the slot for the Pats. We've seen Jeff Thomas deliver explosive plays off the bat & Darrell Langham make iconic grabs. We see some of the best WR blocking around, & he continues to land some of the best HS talent in the nation.

Dugans is easily one of the best WR coaches in the country & one of the key guys on this staff. We're blessed to have him, & I can't wait to see the things his group will do with the talent he's put together.

(As a side note- I probably would have stayed too if I had Ahmmon Richards, Jeff Thomas & Mark Pope on my WR squad )

Dude out there at practice with two phones looking like he about to murk someone for dropping a pass.

 

[The able Cane]

Really wanna see what these WRs would look like with a better QB.

A deserving thread on a day that's probably tough for the guy. The obvious emphasis on making his crew the best blocking wideout group in the country almost tells you all you need to know about Donk too. I hope he's here as long as Rick is.

Why do you say that? I must have overlooked news if it was posted

Big ups to the head Donk Ryder, an now he has some more change in his pockets to upgrade that dunk to a restomod.

 

[Ziggy]

Donk stay gassed up. For real though he’s one of our best coaches and recruiters. He challenges our WRs but makes them better.

 

[Coach Macho]

Look how our WR's do the little things, like blocking, and that's all you need to know about the Donk Dugans coaching ability.

I could not agree more with OP.

Dugans is a great coach, but seems to be an even better person.

 

[JOE'CANE]

Dugans has been one of the better coaches on the staff and is elite at what he does. Great coach both in recruiting and instructional. The guy has really exceeded all my expectations. When we get our 6th it will be bc of coaches like him.

He's why I didn’t think twice, not even for a nanosecond, when Mullins was shown the door.

 

[Canesfan1899]

Agree that he has been a great coach, the most impressive aspect for me is how he has the receivers blocking. Those guys go balls out to block downfield.

 

[ThomasM]

I felt our WR blocking had been improving since Beard was here. Dugans has taken them to another level, but Beard did a good job at this as well. Our WR blocking has been good for a few year now, and it's a beautiful thing to see. In fact, I'd say this is probably the best blocking group of WRs we've had in many years. I can't think right off hand what team might have had a better blocking group.

 

[Swampcity]

Big ups!

 

[gabednconfused]

the WR blocking alone is worth appreciation. They bulldoze people.

 

[DTP]

If he can get the wide receivers to catch as good as they block, I'd be extra excited. Maybe this is the year Cager stops playing like he's 5'8".

Heard from a friend who's son just enrolled to play football at Alabama State that Mullins may have been shown the door again.

Or at least in the doghouse.
