Ruben Hyppolite Note

I'd swap Bush Sr for Patke in a heartbeat.

Mane patke aint landed a recruit yet

 

[caneallday21]

Keep the Hippo Man home

 

[DMoney]

Can someone tell me what Patke or even Blake Baker do that warrants getting paid like a Power 5 coach?

I mean, what do they do? Serious question.

Two more dudes that can get lost.

Replacement level coaches everywhere on this staff.

Baker was a rising name at Louisiana Tech and on his way to a big payday somewhere.

Jury is still out but we are 19th in yards per play and should be climbing higher the next few weeks.

Have to do something different, Diaz is not a good recruiter in his own right so it’s imperative that he hires guys around him that can recruit at a high enough level. We didn’t do that when he filled out his staff imo

Yeah but our schedule has sucked. I hate looking at stats as opposed to actually watching games. Tired of being an aggressive bend don't break. So infuriating

Defensive SP+ (which takes schedule into account) has us even higher, at 16th.

But what was it before Diaz got directly involved again?... Changes on that side need to happen because we are having issues recruiting.

I'm not that worried on defense. Manny knows what he wants and will recruit a Manny defense. If the team gets better, he can get a few more of those big-time Ohio State/Alabama type defenders.

The key will be his ability to land the right QB and OL. Time will tell on that front.

 

[Torocane]

You can only have I believe 10 position coaches and we are at 10

Maybe we shouldn't have two LB coaches?
I mean one of them only coaches a part time starter

I'll agree with that, winning cures most recruiting woes which means the offense need to do its job as well. Just weird having recruiting issues for his honeymoon class

Patke coaches strikers and special teams

What is an "aggressive bend don't break" defense?

We are, I believe, #1 in TFL against power 5 teams.

D, what exactly is a "Manny" defense? When playing Power 5 teams we've been giving up, on avg., 21 ppg through 39 games since he's been here.

We're a high risk, high reward defense. Problem is, if we don't hit on that risk, we get punched in the mouth.

Unless we have great S play, which we've only had for one year under Diaz.

 

[SayWhat]

He's a real possibility. He isn't paying to attend games, so do the math.

Diaz hired teachers and developers. The product will recruit for you when you have an oline coach who can take a two star lineman and make him a decent left tackle his 1st year, strength and conditioning coach took him from 240 to 288 and he's competing his *** off, Jarren William's just broke the td's per game record, Rousseau is kicking as etc etc

We have 3. Manny, Baker, Patke.

Sh*t is comical.

 

[Rellyrell]

This is correct.

 

[Dwinstitles]

If I was Diaz I would seriously consider hiring Devin Bush Sr as our LB's coach, he's an analyst at Michigan & has been apart of recruiting a bunch of the LB's from South Fla that go up there.

He helped them land Devin Jr, Josh Metellus, Josh Uche, Devin Gil, Anthony Solomon & Mike Morris.

He's a well respected coach in South Fla & even though he's a Nole I think he would be great on this staff that really needs a great LB recruiter.
