Rumph's deal at Miami is for 250K/per year. Not sure on length #Canes


I dont get why there are so many crybabies and skeptics on this topic......mike rumph has been successfull at every level he has played at or coached at.... the dude is a good teacher if he is winning south florida championships against some of the best competition in the country. He is the CB coach for crying out loud, the position he has played his whole life and i think this is a great move by CMR, because it also gives us a guy with ties to south florida. This is why i think we should keep larry scott who has done some tremendous work for us in the tampa area and even in south florida.

You can get all the best coaches and put together an amazing staff, but if your coaches dont have ties to south florida that might hurt you in recruiting, winning will cure all woes but you still need guys from miami who know the people and the landscape down here.

This is a great hire by CMR and its for a position that can be handled by an upcoming coach. We need to win in the trenches and CMR has brought in two great candidates.

I hope there is room on this staff for beard and scott, cause we need some south florida flare to our coaching staff, but if there was a WR coach i would prefer over beard it would be zach azzanni. He is a great recruiter of south florida and a very qualified technician.

Seriously yall, over half were asking for him to be hired for the past 2 years.

Anyone saying they prefer a more experienced guy, do you have any realistic suggestions in the price range we are in? While we have made a significant step money wise in the right direction, we still cant compete with SEC teams and other big name schools. Yes obviously a DB coach that costs 600k/yr would be better than rumph , but theres also no reason to believe anyone like that has interest in Miami, or thatwehavent already tried to go out and get them

For the record, it's really, really easy to coach corners. It's not a mentally demanding position. Safety is a much different story.

Well, safety in Diaz's defensive is absolutely a mentally demanding position.

Makes sense that they're splitting the position group. Safeties need to learn a ton of skills, alignments, checks, tendencies, etc. I actually prefer having separate coaches in any system just for the fact that defenses are playing nickel and dime more than ever.
 
I like the hire...rumph has been a successful head coach at the high school level developing kids so why do you think he can't translate that success? He's coming in as a position coach, not a head coach...and it's the position he played rather well so I don't see any issue at all. I think the db's will be coached up and his presence will also bring in some sought after recruits.

Ken Norton Jr coached in high school before getting hired to be LB coach at SC.

I'm sure there are countless examples of this kind of career trajectory. Rumph should be fine at CB coach.

Interesting hire. Not a huge fan of the move, but oh well. Let's hope Richt made the right move.

U dont even know what position he was hired as but your not a fan? GTFOH

If it was for DB....which only makes sense then I absolutely am not a fan of the move. How has hiring high school coaches worked for us in the past? It's a gamble, hope it pays off, but I would have felt more comfortable with an experienced college DB coach.

Rumph is a rising star in the profession. I don't know if you can compare him to Beard or Hurley.

Rising how?

No, no, no.

Don't you get it? He didn't coach in the SEC for 10 years and put out all-American CBs each year so this hire sucks and Richt is panicking and we're no better than we were before!

So 100% this leads to success?

GTK if true.
 
I think we got spoiled by the Kuligowski hire. Rumph is solid.

Instead of comparing this staff to the Patriots staff, we should compare this staff to the one we had before. I think we're primed for an ACC title game appearance in 2016.

Not only that, but initial reports of us being interested in/or linked to Aranda and Raymond got everyone's hopes up. When we didn't get our first options and had to settle for plan B everyone panicked it seemed like. You go from the most sought after to anyone else, of course the hire isn't going to seem as good. But people are acting as if we're getting the worst available instead of second options.

What leads to 100% success? We've seen coaches with sterling résumés fall on their faces.

Rumph's NFL experience coupled with high-level high school success leads me to believe he can coach the position he played.

Someone quoted Chad Morris in this thread, I can't find it.

Chad Morris coached in HS as a HC from 1994-2009. Then he went to Tulsa.

Does anyone see a difference?

Yeah one is coordinating an entire offense. The other is coaching CBs.

That is the only thing, yup. Congrats!

I would like to add that Morris was a HC for 16 years before he went to TULSA.

Gus Malzahn went from HS to SEC OC.

I think Bishop Gorman's coach got a HEAD COACHING job at the FBS level.

Rumph has a pretty good résumé for a position coach: He played at a very high level in college, played in the NFL for 6 years, and coached a state champion at the high school level.

He's not a slam dunk hire (because of lack of experience at the college level), but nothing to get rustled over, either.

You remember why Gus got that job right? Mitch Mustain and a bunch of other dudes that Houston Nutt wanted and that Gus would deliver if given the gig. I hope Rumph delivers recruits too unlike the other HS guys we've hired.
