and just because I want to quote myself.
Much props [MENTION=477]Big Sky Cane[/MENTION], you pretty much nailed it with your response.
Yes he did... And that was 6 months ago.
I should say now in looking at it closely that Big Sky nailed Rumph on the recruiting end but not necessarily on the coaching end. Rumph did a good job in his coaching only duties. Unfortunately, his inability to pull 1 kid from his own high school is an epic fail and to me is a major problem when that's a big part of the job.
Maybe they have no interest in coming to UM and thats all there is to it
Santa, don't you love these guys making excuses for why a coach can't land one player from his talent rich local high school? No way Richt hired him if he knew the guy had zero following
Exactly. Its all about that to some of theses guys. Our secondary 2017 is still looking nice to me. Sheldrick, Malik, Trajan, and hopefully dean and we are still looking good.Santa, don't you love these guys making excuses for why a coach can't land one player from his talent rich local high school?

He coached up the weakest spot on our team to one of the strengths. So who cares about your exaggerated recruiting flaws

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.
With all do respect, Ice was "a rising star" as well.
Gtfoh ice was a rising what? If yall would take a second to do research before running off at the mouth. Only thing ice was ever considered good at was recruiting & relating to players. Rump is considered a rising star because he is VERY TECHNICAL regardless of heritage he worked national camps for soldinger teaching technique to DB's on an elite level. He's considered a natural coach. Ice has never had that going on because he's never been elite himself at anything beyond coaching booker t. He wasn't even coaching his natural position at UM so how can he relate???

Love a good old thread bump.
Noticed this idiotic gem. This must be what is keeping someone like Pete Carroll from being an elite coach. How could he overcome having never been an elite football player himself.
its hilarious muther****ers getting mad at Rumph about recruiting!
he was hired to do a job which is to coach the cornerbacks!
recruiting is completely a secondary aspect for a position coach.
He is not hired to be best buddies with teenagers he is not a recruiting coordinator.
if a bond is formed great! but for yall to really think these teenagers are making the biggest decision of their life based on if they "like" a coach
are because they want to be BFF's with a coach you are living in a fantasy world
they want to play for and with the best and that comes with time!
Coach Rumph did an outstanding job! (I.E) see Corn Elder's turnaround this year
great hire

these same people were complaining that Golden hired a staff for recruiting only. (Even though they weren't great at it)
I remember this board full of people begging for coaches that could "coach up" lesser players and our CB's were nothing short of that

I do think that position coaches, however, often times get to much credit when things are going well with their unit and to much blame when going bad. EX....Oline. It's the coordinator job to make each unit click together and play to the strengths of the individuals and mask deficiencies. An example is overall tackling from the defense and DBS in general was improved. Who is responsible? It's Diaz style (Hawk tackling) and how they taught pursuit as a whole that was a success. Does Rump deserve some credit for that? I suppose but I'll continue to give credit to Diaz where most of the praise belongs on the Def.
