Yes...I want Al gone, but this scenario might be more likely.
Al isn't fired, but he is forced to clean house on the defensive side of the ball.....

What def Coord candidates would you guys like...and don't say Narduzzi.
My choice is Brick Haley, LSU's def line coach. He actually has some experience being a d Coord, and he has coached multiple positions on defense....and he has some NFL experience.

Thoughts?


Brick Haley Bio
Courtesy: LSUsports.net (@LSUsports)
Release: 08/03/2014
Brick Haley's impact on the LSU football program can be seen each spring when the NFL Draft takes place. Since taking over at LSU in 2009, Haley has coached nine defensive linemen who have been selected in the NFL Draft, including a pair of first-round picks in defensive tackle Michael Brockers (No. 12 overall in 2012) and defensive end Barkevious Mingo (No. 6 overall in 2013).

Ego Ferguson was selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, extending LSU's streak of years with at least one defensive lineman picked in the draft to a nation's best 11 straight. LSU's been so dominate on the defensive front that during the summer of 2014, ESPN.com tabbed LSU as Defensive Line U.

Haley, now in his sixth season at LSU, has coached in the NFL while also serving for 13 years in a major college football conference.

Under Haley, the Tigers have used depth and talent on the defensive line to wear down opposing offensive linemen. Thus, LSU continued to win the battle in the trenches, a key to success in the rugged SEC.

Since 2009, LSU's defensive line has accounted for 98 sacks and forced 39 turnovers, while allowing only 57 rushing touchdowns and holding opponents to 120 yards rushing per game.

In 2013, Haley was again tasked with developing young players as the Tigers returned only one starter on the defensive line from the previous season. The Tigers lost three players to the NFL from the 2012 squad – Mingo, Sam Montgomery (third round) and Lavar Edwards (fifth round).

Despite losing three NFL Draft picks, Haley and his group responded by putting a unit on the field that featured two All-SEC picks in Anthony Johnson and Ferguson. Danielle Hunter (57 tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks) and Jermauria Rasco (56 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 4.0 sacks) shined in their first year as starters at defensive end.

In 2012, LSU's defense again ranked among the best in the nation, allowing just 17.5 points per game (12th nationally) along with 101.6 rushing yards (No. 9 nationally) and 307.6 total yards (No. 8 nationally).

A year prior during LSU's march to a perfect 13-0 mark during the regular season, it was the defensive line that often set the tone for the Tigers defense as they used their quickness and pass rushing ability to combine for 28.5 sacks and 64 tackles for loss. LSU's defense ranked in the top five in the nation in four categories in 2011 as they allowed just seven rushing TD's all season and held opponents to 10 or fewer points nine times.

In 2010, the Tigers had two defensive linemen picked in the NFL Draft – Drake Nevis and Lazarius Levingston - while Al Woods was taken in the draft a year earlier.

Under Haley's direction, LSU's defensive front combined for 39 tackles for losses and 15.5 sacks in 2010 after posting 44 tackles for losses and 14 sacks in 2009.

Haley joined the Tigers in the spring of 2009 after two years as the defensive line coach with the Chicago Bears.

In his two seasons with the Bears, Haley coached a defensive line that helped Chicago rank No. 5 in the league in rushing yards allowed per game in 2008. The Bears finished sixth in the NFL in sacks in 2007 with defensive end Tommie Harris earning a spot in the Pro Bowl.

Prior to his stop in the NFL, Haley spent three years as the defensive line coach at Mississippi State from 2004-06. Haley helped improve a Bulldogs defense that finished 41st in the nation in 2006 after finishing 113th a year before his arrival. Under Haley's watch, Bulldogs defensive end Titus Brown developed into an All-SEC Second-Team selection after leading the team and ranking fifth in the conference in sacks in 2006.

In 2005, Haley coached the SEC leader in sacks (third in NCAA) and tackles for loss (fourth in NCAA) in Willie Evans, who spent four years in the NFL.

Before arriving at Mississippi State, Haley coached linebackers for two years (2002-2003) at Georgia Tech, where he helped the Yellow Jackets to a pair of bowl games. In 2003, he coached an All-ACC First-Team performer after Tech's trio of starting linebackers finished the 2002 season as the team's top-three tacklers.

Previously, Haley was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Baylor (1999-2001) after coaching outside linebackers for one season each at Clemson (1998) and Houston (1997). The defensive line coach at Troy State from 1994-96, he was promoted to defensive coordinator following the 1996 campaign before leaving for Houston. Haley coached the defensive line at Austin Peay from 1991-93 after starting his college coaching career as a graduate assistant at Arkansas in 1990. His first coaching job was at Enterprise (Ala.) High School in 1989.

The Gadsden, Ala., native played linebacker at Alabama A&M from 1984 88 and was inducted into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005. He received Alabama A&M's Inspiration Award in 1987 and was named football MVP for the 1988 season.

Off the field, Haley is involved in raising awareness for autism as he annually hosts a golf tournament each year with all proceeds going to his foundation – Brick Road to Success. He and his wife, Tina, have three sons: Adrian, A.J. and Jeremy.

remember its Al's defense

Okay....let's day it's not..if this scenario came about Al would be forced to change
Click to expand...

If it's not really his defense? Ok, I'll play along. If he gets rid of Donofrio, he needs to hire a DC. The AD doesn't make the hire; Al does. Al will hire someone who sshares in his philosophy. That's problem 1. Problem #2 is if Al fires Donofrio, everyone in CFB knows Al is on his last leg at UM. Who's going to want to coach for a lame duck coach?
 
Defense isnt the only problem. The team takes on the persona of the coach, which in goldens case is soft as a marshmellow.
 
Look Golden signs off on the gameplan. DC puts in a ton of blitzs and aggressive play...Fat Al not going for it. Golden is the problem. The head of the fish is rotten. Losing over 30 Players since he's been here is a big f'ing problem. There is problem with who he's bringing and monitoring them. He needs to go back to NJ

It's very possible that they go this route and waste another couple of years until they finally make a change. It's a gamble that looks like they're saving money. But it only looks like it.
 
But on the flip side a new DC comes in and turns around the defense, he becomes a made man and a hot commodity. Maybe we can find a guy with half a brain to prove himself.

I hear the Troy position is opening up. He'll get another downgrade job somewhere else that is happy with 8 win seasons and middling bowls.

Those mofos are smart. This is Golden's last HC job, trust me. No one will hire this piece of crap anywhere. His own Alma mater kicked him to the curb like ***** we seen that crap u running down there. Sandusky never thought u nutten O? Suck Al Groh D and get the f out our faces. Tail between legs

Then Doritos is an idiot for not leaving long ago, if noD has aspirations of advancing his career he would have left long ago.

While I agree with most of what you're saying. But who else was he supposed to bring in. It's not like we were a destination school with the investigation and cloud. The staff had to fight for commitments and from pretty much all the south Florida kids except Duke. Don't act like it hasn't been a handcuff.

We had the best recruiting class the second year of Golden's tenure ok. Kids wanted to pride themselves in bringing Miami back. Trcy Howard, Duke, McCord. etc. All these kids came. What handcuff Golden is the puzzy *** scheme they are running. We get plenty of offensive talent, look at who we have committed on the offensive side of the ball. Then turn and look at the defensive side. Thats the handcuff. Look how many DTs from south Florida left here. Khari Clark, Bostwick, Keith Bryant and Valentine. It wasn't the cloud that cause them to leave. Its UF and FSU turning on film and say, would u rather play in that, or play in this? Thats the truth. We have 4 star RBs committed, stud QB, WR everywhere. We can't get the super star high schopol players particularly on the DL....that is Golden's fault. No one else

Stopped reading after the "but." There is no but. Anything short of Golden being gone would be unacceptable.

This is his defense. He chose not to fire D'Onofrio a long time ago. He chose to put their friendship and wildly ineffective defensive philosophy before the betterment of this program. He chooses to continue to run this abomination of a defense. Our team continues to get humiliated in every primetime game under his watch.

Adapt or perish. He's in his fourth year and hasn't changed a thing. He brought this on himself.

IIRC he was offered the Temple HC position when Al first got here and turned it down.

Okay again, I agree with a lot of what you're saying but those kids didn't leave the state or choose some random school. They chose the sec over miami, they chose the hot program (FSU) over miami. This isn't the glory days. Yeah that 2nd class was great on paper but look at what's left of that class In the program. Not a lot of depth at lb, DL, Qb. A lot of players left or didn't make it in and aside from the big name locals that made our rankings top heavy that class was obviously patchwork. It shows by the amount of kids gone, same as 2011 class and even the 2013 class. Youre crazy if you don't the cloud played a part. Some talent is here but the depth at all positions is still weak.
