Lets see what happens in 2017. Our D faltered against uga when it counted and against spuat when the chips were down. wde They also had exactly zero help from the offense in those games. They were having to keep a sinking ship afloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see much of an improvement in WR's. Blame the QB or the offense. Maybe the right WR's were not on the field. Blame Kodi Burns. Hope the DB coach is named next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,688 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I am way more worried about Kodi's recruiting ability than coaching ability. Got to have dudes to coach up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like both coaches. #8 in the country pass D in his first season is good, but he did have help as their DC is a previous DB coach. Do u think USA's DC would take a step back for an SEC DB coaching job??? He could be Co-Dc also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadtownTiger 363 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Just read Gary Kubiak (Broncos HC) is retiring, which means there will most likely be some shake-up on his staff. Out of curiosity I took a look to see if any names stood out. One did: Reggie Herring. I know he's never officially coached DBs before, but surely with 34 years of coaching linebackers he could pull it off (and aid in seasoning our young LB coach). Might be the only man in the business that coached with both Pat Dye (Auburn LBs 1986-91) and Gus Malzahn (Arkansas LBs 2005-2007). And I think he had a son that played at AU. Just a thought. WDE!

Gotta think another pro team will pick him up pretty quick. If he was open to AU though, you gotta think he would be a heck of a recruiter in the long run. He is a legend where he was born (Louisiana) and where he played (Miami Hurricanes & Baltimore Ravens, Maryland). All 3 areas are fertile recruiting grounds.

Timeslider 6 269 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 We need a coach that will here a while and can help us stop the revolving door that is that position coach. I hate to see us get another coach and he only be here 1 or 2 years. I trust Gus and Steele to get someone that will be here 3, 4 or 5 years, i know that's hard, but i'm sure he has that in the back of his mind.

AuburnNTexas 7,154 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The better position coaches are looking to become coordinators then head coaches. To get a really good DB coach who will be with team 3-4 years you take a chance on a young unproven guy who needs time to build his resume or an older guy who wants a final stopping place. When you are looking for the best position coaches part of the problem is how long you will be able to keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it really an issue that we have had two straight DB coaches hired as DCs elsewhere? I don't see how that's a bad thing at all. You sell the program and the opportunity to become a DC to coaches, and you sell the fact your DB coaches are in demand. And even if they leave, the coaches we have replaced have been as good if not better than the previous coach. I see it as a win/win. Now if we were replacing them due to underperformence, then I am right with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,154 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Other than the championship games all bowl games are over. I thought maybe we were waiting on a coach to finish up bowl season. We are fast approaching NLI day and we may need a DB coach to help keep or to close on a DB prospect. Unless we are looking at a coach from the Pro ranks I hope we can get some candidates in here quickly and make a good decision ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we are looking at a coach from the Pro ranks I hope we can get some candidates in here quickly and make a good decision ASAP. That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm hoping it's another NFL assistant. Kind of like I did with the Broncos and Reggie Herring (posted a couple of days ago), I took a look at the staffs of the playoff teams to see if I recognized anyone or found something that might tie them back to the region. To be clear, I'm not lobbying for any of these guys (well, maybe one of them), just trying to pass the time until the people paid to make these decisions tell me what I need to know. Sal Sunseri coaches LBs for the Raiders. He and Steele run in similar circles, but I don't think they ever coached together. Like Reggie Herring he's a career LB coach, but both have also been DCs, so they know what DBs are supposed to do. It's plausible a grizzled old vet would take such a job so they could bring in their kid as an analyst or GA or something. Will Lawing is a defensive QC assistant with the Texans. His father coaches at FSU. Anthony Midget (Texans assistant secondary coach) worked at Georgia State for five years. He seems to be pretty well attached to Bill O'Brien, though. David Merritt Sr (Giants safeties) played at NC State and briefly coached at UT-Chattanooga. He has an daughter that lives in Atlanta. Tim Walton (Giants cornerbacks) has 14 years of college experience including stints at LSU, Memphis and Miami (FL). He's got a fantastic resume as a college coach. One of the highlights is the number of players he guided into the NFL---thirteen guys were drafted, nine of them in the first or second round. Of course everyone knows about Joe Whitt Jr, so it hardly seems worth mentioning. But I did anyway. Chad Walker (Falcons secondary assistant) has six or so years of college experience, but not of that was as a position coach. Louisiana native, worked for dink at LSU. Marquand Manuel (Falcons secondary, senior defensive assistant) played and worked at Florida. Gary Gibbs (Chiefs LBs) was DC at LSU and UGA. Greg Jackson (Cowboys safeties) played at LSU and has nine or so years of college coaching. Turner West (Cowboys defensive assistant) is a TN native and played at Memphis when his father, Tommy West, was HC. He's coached at MTSU, Samford and UAB. WDE!
