Rumph on WQAM at 7 am

Advertisement
I am about to leave for work, so may you please make a summary of his interview? Thanks in advance! :)
 
Excited for the opportunity as CB coach at the U
Excited for 4-3 blitz/ man to man
Already have really good players but will be knocking on doors locally
Not currently recruiting
Has meetings this week to discuss going forward
Coach Richt is family oriented man (we already knew) Mentioned Sony in reference to this
Will not be involved in AH hiring process. Has received so many calls since his new hires
Rest of AH staff he expects to stay together for the most part. Really likes Surtain Sr.
 
Has talked to Diaz already about Dbs being versatile and mixing it up. Bump, off ,etc..
Has very first meeting as staff this AM.
I missed the first 5 mins
Anyone else feel free to chime in if I missed something.
 
Says he's currently "looking at" CB's but he won't be recruiting South Florida for now. Found that part weird. Hopefully it's just because Richt hasn't finalized recruiting assignments.
 
Said he'd learn more about recruiting assignments after some meetings with Richt
 
Rose made a good point after the interview about how Mike was a first round pick to Frisco and after his playing days came back to coach HS football in FL. As a position coach, not having things handed to him and working his way up.

dead period doesn't end until the 13th or 14th I think.

All we ever heard during the Golden era was a simple wish of seeing an aggressive 4-3 that emphasized getting pressure and playing a mix of cover 2 and press coverage. We got what we wanted and it seems like people forget what the situation was just 3 months ago, yet there are still people who are *****ing about the defensive staff. I know Manny Diaz is not the first or even second or third candidate that people wanted but we got the style of defense that should fit Miami very well. In that simple fact, we should rejoice.

A top notch S&C hire and we're set.
 
As best I can recall it, Rumph also said that cornerback has changed a lot since he was playing with all of these 4.4 quarterbacks that run, that when you're playing the edge, it's almost like having to deal with a 12th man. Said he's talked to Manny Diaz a bunch of times and he understands all this.

Gotcha. As was mentioned too, I think he just didn't want to speak out of turn also until Richt has meetings or w/e and assigns regions. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Rumph will be doing some local recruiting.

On a different note, he seemed to endorse Pat Surtain to take over for him at American Heritage. Both him and Oronde Gadsden were on his staff there. South Florida high school football really is like no other with the amount of former legit pros these kids are exposed to at some programs.
 
Rumph can be an average-above average CB coach but if he can reel in top notch DB recruits we will be just fine. Whether he can recruit big time DB talent will make or break him. There are alot of superstud DBs coming in the 2017 and 2018 classes in SoFla alone that we cannot allow to leave the area.

Paul Williams actually was not a horrible DB coach. Gunter will be a rising star with the Packers...Burns will be a 2nd or 3rd round pick...Elder will be a 2/3 round pick next year.. Paul was average as average can be.... His problem was he couldnt recruit worth a **** and no DB worth his salt wanted to play for him. Hence his demise.
 
Great interview. Gives you the feeling he's going to sell the fire out of the position and school.
