Rumph and what good coaching does for you

skyman said:
To be fair, I think its more that he coached at a extremely talented high school prior and had some direct ties to 5 star players since optimist at position of need. He couldnt close the deal, maybe it isnt his strength, maybe its the product, who knows. But those were probably the main gripes.

Not a personal shot at you but you honestly believe Bama and UGA didn't offer loot to Surtain and Campbell considering they were the top 2 dbs in the entire country?

Some of ya'll are judging a position coach by effect of a defensive scheme - for both the good and the bad. Rumph isn't choosing coverages on his own for his unit. Not saying anything positive or negative about Rumph. Only that a position coach's job is technical and motivational in nature. Some of the comments about pass defense ratings and such are tied to a broader scheme, playcalls and the other defensive units.

Difficult for anyone on a message board to fairly judge a position coach outside of the very obvious technical breakdowns (for example, if Corners struggled with press, how they play the ball in the air, or how they flip their hips when initially beat) or lapses in focus.

FACTS

Shhhhhh it doesn’t fit their narrative

Rumph is a real Cane. He’s a savage teacher and maybe doesn’t have the kiss your butt mentality to wooo certain 18 year olds without a strong resume. But the great news is that he is building a monster resume and that will sell kids on its own.

The only problem is that some fans don’t want to allow a person time to build that resume and immediately call you bum if certain prospects don’t sign with us.

Grade A post. No fluff involved.

That’s all I look for in position coaches. We have come a long way from Paul Williams

Good to hear first hand perspective. So why can’t kids see that he is recruiting? If I am a recruit I am going for the coach that can develop me. Kids don’t seem to care much about that.

He's not an *** kisser and going to just tell you what you want to hear. Hopefully more high rated kids open their eyes and see he's going to maximize their talent

Corn Elder looked like a completely different player in just 1 year under Rumph.

Colbert was completely a forgot guy at Safety while @Texas. Rumph got him drafted, in just one year!

Mike Jackson was completely transformed under Rumph and became one of the top CB's in the conference.

Young was on his way to being one of the best in the country under Rumph.

The dude is a phenomenal coach but our fans continue to s'hit on him because we didn't land Campbell and Surtain. F'uck that s'hit! The guy is more Cane than any one of us. Give the man the respect that he has earned and truly deserve!

Bama and UGA gave money to every recruit except Campbell and Surtain! Lol

Some of y’all act like our DB’s are all two stars. When you actually look at the DB’s we’ve had the last few years most of them are/were four stars

hes recruited his position better than any coach on the D (obviously not including the DL coahc since hes new) and this is in terms of the blue chip star ratio
 
" Even when I'm beat, I'm not beat"
- Michael Jackson
This guy instills confidence in his players. I don't think MJ had this mentality before he came here.

Not enough good things I could say about him. Awesome guy and fantastic at developing talent, what he did with Colbert and Mike Jack alone was incredible.

truth.

the guy knows DB play and is a great teacher. he's a valued member of the staff. in case anyone has failed to notice, his guys PLAY BETTER because of his coaching.

the criticism of him as a "poor recruiter" is misguided, and it's noise that distracts from the quality of his work.

and by the way, every one of the DB's over the past 3 cycles, where he was the primary recruiter and they went elsewhere, took bags. (with only a one lone exception).

if rumph had been able to drop a bag, he would have landed EVERY.SINGLE.ONE. of those guys.

they'd be building a statue of the guy outside the hecht if he could have played the "give the green to grandma" game. competing straight up for guys who will choose based on the bag size, is not a war he (or anyone else) can win.
