With J Batt and Pope on board, I would not be surprised to see Key go back to the well at Alabama. Lupoi is probably too expensive, but Kuligowski, Scott and Perry are options. And I would not rule out a return of Jeremy Pruitt either.

Pruitt is a no go! He is serving a six-year show-cause for his role. Pruitt's show-cause includes a 100% suspension for the first year of employment should an NCAA school hire in him in any athletics position. If he is not hired in those 6 years. When his time is up he can go back to coaching for any team with penalty.

The name that has been talked the most about is Tylar Santucci. But on the JOL overreaction YouTube show by Kelly Quinnlan. He said the candidates that have been interviewed are employed. Which makes no sense about Tylar Santucci.

How can we hire Pruit when he has a six year show cause?

You can but he would be suspended the first year. Which makes no sense to hire him. But also, who hires him is subjected to penalties as well. Depends on if the NCAA approves or not.

Pope played LB in college even if he only coached it one year at Liberty. My guess he will coach LBs and Simpson will coach the DL.

Not saying this is right and Tech has not said anything so far,

According to John Brice at FootballScoop, Georgia Tech is going to hire Memphis defensive line coach and defensive run game coordinator Kyle Pope to be a defensive assistant. According to Brice's report, "Pope will continue to work with defensive linemen in his new role at Georgia Tech."

He could be coaching DE/OLB like Coleman use to back in 2019-2021.

Unless we make a scheme change, we only have 2 LBs on the field. OLB is half of the LBs, if that. Why have an OLB coach?

The DC that have been talked about and seem to be in the running. They run a more traditional 4-3 defense. I think we go to a more of a 4-3 multiple defense.

Maybe we’ll be running multiple sets, and certain players will have DE responsibilities in some sets and OLB responsibilities in others. So they get coached along with anyone who would be considered a Will or Sam linebacker.

Santucci at Duke had a 4-2-5. So did Durkin at Texas A&M.

Clemson is multiple on defense. I’m kind of surprised it’s not more common

Santucci at Duke had a 4-2-5. So did Durkin at Texas A&M.

So mike elko ran a more 3-4 defense. Duke ran what Elko wanted to run not Santucci. Durkin ran a 4-2-5 multiple defense. Depending on the team they faced. He would run a 3-2-6 when facing Ole Miss. He did use some 4-3 as well at times

Santucci may still be under contract, thus employed. Tillman and Thacker are still employed, for now.

That is false! He is not on Dukes coaching staff. Manny Diaz hire Jonthan Patke as the nes DCand LB coach. The same position that Santucci was. Even KQ has him as unemployed. So he is unemployed.

As for Thacker and Tillman they were moved to off-field positions but we they will not be retained as there contracts end this month.

Them being move to off-field positions was because them being let go was leaked before they wanted it to be. Thus why the DC search and all is so tight lipped.

Every depth chart I can find for Duke has 4 down linemen and 2 linebackers, and says they run (ran) a 4-2-5.

I could be wrong. It would be the first time. I just know what Elko liked to run.

Personally I think a 4-3 MD would help out our run defense. Just my opinion.

But with Pope and Simpson on staff. How ever they want to title them and who coaches what. I feel we are in good hands.

 

[Oldgoldandwhite]

There's a LOT of heat about that on Twitter. I hope not. Belichick was a great coach, but I think the game, and the way to manage players has passed him by.

He would instantly be the best coach the Falcons ever had.

If you had the right personnel, a killer defense would be a 5-1-5. Would require an elite none tackle, super athletic defensive ends and linebacker, and two safetys who were tough with run support.

That would be interesting!

Easily the most decorated. Best coach? That would be determined on the field. What he did with the Patriots would have no bearing on the Falcons. Don't forget, Falcons have gone to 2 Superbowls already.

the only thing and it may not matter Santucci was pull off the Duke page. if you look Tillman and Thacker are still listed at the bottom but shows no position .
