DC Hire

[ibeattetris]

You guys crack me up. Just so I'm on the same page & can fit in around here, we now give defenses a "pass" against top ranked offenses?

I could have sworn just last week people here expected our offense to light it up against top ranked defenses (Clemson), and bitched incessantly when the O struggled. I'm super confused.......

The board is filled with different people with different opinions and criteria they make judgments based on.

*I* give passes when the stats make sense to me. I do not speak for others. It is fair for someone to judge the Temple D based on how they performed against the singular best defense they faced, but that is not what I would choose to do.

I wonder if CGC will allow his D.C./OC to address the media? On one hand I can see it in order to control "the message " to the media/fan base but I would have found it informative to have had access to aWoody's thoughts/strategies/perceptions of what he was working on or the adjustments he was addressing as the season progressed.

I believe that same kind of information could be useful as well transition into new schemes on both sides of the ball.

I got
DC/Linebackers Thacker
Corners Burton
?? Inside Linebackers Knight
So that leaves DL & Safeties.

Didn't CGC say he would assist with he D , or was I dreaming ? He would be a good DL coach, amiright ? Both for coaching AND recruiting to the position.

DC and LB coach Thacker

DB Collins. Collins would probably call defense on game days

I just can’t see a head coach being a position coach as well. Coordinator yea, but a position coach? Burton supposed to coach DB’s.

He expertise is in the secondary.

Saban is the DB position coach at Alabama. I think Kelly is the main coach, but Saban spends a lot of time there.

I see the same thing happening with CGC and Burton.

CGC flat out said he was going to be coaching some DBs.

It's behind a paywall so I can't quote it, but he said it while describing Jordan Huff.

Maybe it's a Safety/CB breakdown between him and Burton.

Saban focuses on db’s too but he isn’t the position coach.

Why are we making a big deal about the HC also being a position coach right after having one that was his own OC?

 

[Techster]

I mean, whether he has the title or not, he was still coaching the DBs. CGC made it a point to tell our DB recruits he would be personally working with them every day.

However you want to slice it, CGC will be our DB coach...if not on paper, then most definitely in reality.

No he wasn't....he didn't have the official title.

 

[ibeattetris]

No he wasn't....he didn't have the official title.

It’s also a lot more common.

Isn’t Saban esentially the DB coach at Bama or at one point was?

I thought I heard that, but it was DB, instead of LB.

I expect Thacker to be announced as defensive coordinator as soon as today

Well GT defense as a whole can’t get any worse. Let’s see what the new guy can do. Welcome aboard.

The average age of our coaching staff is about to plummet about 15 years.

That’s an evergreen post!
(Though not in the way we would hope)

I expect defense to improve. However, Temple is noted for feast or famine coverage. Opposing QBs either have a sub 80 QBR, or the floodgates open like they did against Duke and you see outrageous numbers posted. So, we have to fix the famine part.

Year 1 might be a transition (famine) year on defense (pure speculation on my part).
