Rumph to UM

Yes, Yes and Yes

I met one coach on Shaq's recruiting trail and he told me during the season... he cut a deal so that he could come to work late 7:30am so he could wake his kids up to have breakfast with them and drop them off at school... so during that time and a couple hours after each home game was the only time he had with his kids. And doing the recruiting season he was on the road more than he was home. On a visit to UGA the coaches hung out with me and the other coaches from Shaq's HS until 1:30 in the morning... We got up at 5:30am (a few hours later) to head over to Auburn. When we got down to the lobby two of UGA's coaches were there waiting on us with coffee in hand... I expressed my appreciation as said that .. they didn't need to wake up to see us off.. and the one coach said its all in a days work... I know a guy that would make a great college coach... he knows it too. He has the connection to have a job tomorrow, but he said he would rather coach at the HS level until his kids grow up, because he knows the sacrifice... I here it in the tone of a lot of posters on this site.. as if I'm just a parent of recruit so I really don't know what really goes on and just hop on the Hurricane ban wagon... I became a Hurricane fan because a black kid from Daytona (my home town) was given an opportunity to play QB in a D1 program... so ever since Kenny McMillian (the QB before Jim Kelly and Mark Richt circa 1977) was given that chance at UM I have been a fan.

College coaching is a freakin' grind!

I know guys who have coached high school, college and even a little NFL. I think college is by far the most demanding. Those guys don't stop working.

I don't think the casual fan understands everything that goes into college coaching. NFL and High School guys don't have to travel around the country and recruit. NFL guys don't have to babysit. College guys do EVERYTHING.

I've met (and worked for) quite a few guys who chose to come back to high school coaching because they'd rather teach for (around) $45k a year and coach high school kids than coach college, possibly make more money but have no life.

Some high school HC jobs ain't bad gigs, especially if you're coaching in Georgia or Texas.
I know some of the Gigs in GA...pay will rival some small colleges...

Yep: At least 17 Georgia high school head coaches make $100,000 a year or more - FootballScoop

Ohio ain't bad, either ... At the right schools.

Florida's probably the only place that's crappy enough to pay their HC's $5k and their assistants $1500.
 
This thread bringing the LULZ. Bang up job so far coach. Keep up the "not taking no for an answer".
 
As a Skins' fan, I can tell you that Mike Rumph absolutely SUCKED the whole time he played for that team. Nothing I've seen so far from his tenure as a "coach" at UM has indicated to me that he is any better as a coach or recruiter. Just a real lazy a-hole. I wish I still had a tape of the ape**** rant one of the Washington broadcasters went off on this clown during one game. It was priceless.

Just hope this is only the ONE bad hire CMR has made. Not keen on Diaz,either.. Should send this clown back to HS football (if anyone wants him) after this season. He's already showing his *** on this recruiting cycle. Just a bum. Utter FAIL!

Ridiculous statement coming from the biggest Golden supporter in December 2013.

That's a lie but can't fight you retards. Anyway...live in the present and reread this thread for an education.

Should we bump up some old threads? You fiercely defended Al after VT, Duke and the Louisville bowl game.

When he flirted with Penn State, you finally hopped off the bandwagon.

Well I officially lost all faith after Bowl game with Louisville. Check game thread. (Admittedly too late) Never fiercely defended him though. I don't need to get into a ****ing match about Golden. He was a failure and is gone. We're now on to the new staff......wtf is your point? I hated the Coker and Shannon hire from day 1 so I guess I'm 2/3.

I'm talking about the valid points brought up in this thread and you're talking about Golden. Figures.

Fair enough. I just think bashing Rumph before he's coached a game is a bit pre-mature.

Wow. Rumph has had three weeks of recruiting since the dead period and hasn't even made it to the spring game but his college coaching career is already decided?

We're not the most irrational fans on earth or anything.

He bang your mom, daughter or girlfriend? Only something that dirty could make a man this irrational.

Very much premature.
I'm not sure who the **** else these posters complaining wanted as a cornerback coach...yes I said cornerback. Literally only one position, how is he not qualified to some. Richt gave him the smallest responsibility on the team so it's not like we're gambling big time on it

Corey Raymond didn't pan out and was obvious we tried to get him. It's not like richt hired him for burns (who was never gonna come here no matter what so people should get over it)

Gotta give him at least the chance to show he can coach thus season first. Besides, nobody wants to Mention romeo finley coming? Sure panda is safety coach but Rumph was in some of the pics with Finley (who was a huge pickup in less than a month)too.

Everyone wants him to be a trob type of guy for recruiting instead of caring about his actual coaching. Also if you're going to judge him based on getting a single recruit(which you shouldn't because thats moronic) it should not be burns, it should be Marco Wilson, a top cornerback prospect for 2017 out of rumphs high school. He'll actually be his position coach and will have a better chance to land
 
Unfair to pass judgement on rumph 3 weeks into the job as far as recruiting goes. Byrd flip was in the works before he visited Miami... Instead judge him how he does this year in recruiting and how our defensive backs play. Most importantly I still think elder is an elite CB and redwine should be a rising upcoming player. He is a baller... Jackson has some ability as well. With the incoming recruits we should be fine
 
He is judged the moment he signed his contract with the U. He is getting paid to win in all aspects of coaching, and recruiting is one of them. But the good thing for him is, he has time to get his **** together because we are thin at CB.

I guess if you're Rumph you really had 4 opportunties to make a splash between the hire date and now....
1. Burns
2. Byrd
3. Miller
4. Carter

Don't really blame him for Carter, obviously, but the other 3? Just didn't turn out well. Hope he fares better in this next class. You can't get that kind of non-production from a guy you hire to be a recruiting guy.

Is there another player of his at Heritage next year to say no to him?
 
I don't think Miami should ever hire a first time coach

Very questionable hire, in my opinion.

Miami went the cheap route and sometimes you get what you pay for
 
Some posters on here have an limited understanding about football, the same ones complaining about Rumph were the same idiots complaining about having Cristobal as the OL coach. Seems like Cristobal would only been a good hire only if Butch was hired as HC. Good hire imo, a coach has to start somewhere, people do not understand how many guys have potential to be a good d1 coach, all they need is an opportunity. This is a new year, as fans we been through a lot of bs and headaches but I am really hyped about the upcoming season, stay positive and give Richt/Rumph and all the other staff a chance.
What a ****** porst. Way to go full potato Finch.
