The defense regressed badly since Al Golden’s Recruits Left

[The Svengali]

I can’t believe the words I’m about to say, but the defense has regressed badly since Al Goldens recruits left the program. Al Goldens recruits played in a terrible scheme, but they were better tacklers, more disciplined on the field (setting the edge, etc) and were better overall than Manny recruits. Manny’s first two years were all Al Golden recruits and the defense looked better. You had guys like:

Joe Jackson
Kendrick Norton
Chad Thomas
RayShawn Jenkins
Redwine
Michael Jacksin
Jaquon Johnson
Corn Elder
Jamal Carter
Shaq
Michael Pinckney
Gerard Willis
Courtel Jenkins
Trent Harris

These players weren’t with manny long enough to develop bad habits, and as soon as Goldens vet players left the program the defense took a big dip. And if you notice, the longer Manny coaches these players the worse they become.

It’s night and day between Al Golden defensive recruits and Manny’s.

Golden got some pretty good guys at DT his scheme was horrid though. It's not even the habits this scheme has some holes....when the competition goes down like App state u will see them look way better.

 

[L A M P]

Al Golden had some big misses but overall, I think he excelled at evaluating talent.

“These players weren’t with manny long enough to develop bad habits”

Lmao. It’s becoming a contest to see who can have the most outrageous hot take.

I have said this before .golden was his own worst enemy.

if Golden had canned D"No and hired Manny? Imagine that.

Now we're longing for the AL Golden days, lol.

Seems like Manny recruits a bunch of mercenaries. I don't think the scheme is a problem at all, actually think Manny has one of the best defensive schemes. We don't seem to play together at times though.

2 of our better nfl alumni the last few years were 2* specials from Nj in Gus and Njoku

 

[miamimike305]

So in all we basically switched from Dno to manny. Can recruit but scheme sucks to scheme sucks and recruits suck.

Manny’s scheme is perfectly fine. He’s just not a good teacher or coach, that’s why things look disjointed. He’s knows what it’s supposed to look like and he can make things sound good, but he’s not nuanced or detailed enough, so things get overlooked or missed.

He’s more of a stats guy/analytics nerd than coach

These takes are no worse than the 15-0 tomfoolery. LOL.

Golden was a terrible coach with a terrible scheme. He did recruit some solid players though.

I made a comment awhile ago that got downvoted although I dont care about that, but I said Golden would have lasted a lot longer here had he brought in an attacking defensive coordinator... offense generally was not a problem

He cannot be forgiven for sticking with that incompetent DC.

What are you talking about? Shaq and pick didn’t play a single snap under golden. Jaquan and redwine played 1 year under golden and 3 years under manny. You’re going to try telling me jaquan and redwine regressed under manny? Same with Mike Jack? Joe Jackson played all 3 years under manny. Harris played 2 under each and had his 2 best years under manny?

go look back on all the reaches or misses golden had.

Im not forgiving him or saying he should be, but like poster above said, "He was his own worst enemy"

Get rid of No D and he may have saved his job

 

[supacane]

The problem with Diaz is not schematic. The players fundamentals and understanding of the game don't seem to increase. Poor tackling, poor play recognition etc.

I will always believe that if Al had just fired his BFF and treated his staff hiring more professionally, he would have killed it here. He threw away his career for his BFF who threw off a vibe afterwards like he was held back by Al, in my opinion.

Canes can’t seem to catch a break.
