UM announces Aristide as OLB coach, Patke shifted to ILB coach; Diaz comments

[Go Canes!!]

Coaching only matters when the kid sucks. When they’re good it’s all the player.

Man this dude done died and went to heaven.. He gets to walk in a living room & pitch the opportunity to "stay home & play for the crib" versus convincing a kid (and his family) to come to College Station, Texas.

When did both the LBer positions start being inside LBers?? It was Weak LB when Pinckney was here and both positions dont play the same way.

They been considered both as ilb in this defense. It’s similar to a 3-4 where you have 2 ilb. One is the weak side and the other is the mike

Love this from a recruiting perspective, but having two coaches on defense that have never coached at the college levels seems less than ideal.

Ad that to a part time inexperienced head coach and part time DC.

How does Patke stay around, special teams are horrid.

Because he is a close friend of Diaz. I know TWill got a better position, but the better idea would have been Aristide and TWill as LB coaches. We just don't seem able to totally free ourselves of friendships and play chess. Saban has no friends.

After the NC game there's only one way to go, maybe. BAMA is the best indicator, should be.

Simpson and Robinson are the heavy hitters from a technical standpoint.
Jess has the front and run coverage, while Robinson has the back and pass covered.
The other coaches will take their cues from them.
