And the new DB coach is

Travaris Robinson ex SC defensive coordinator and DB coach and a former UF and Auburn DB coach.

Considered a great recruiter…

this could’ve been a home run hire but Baker is still employed here as DC which renders the move useless.

Wow! Now that is making me think Manny is willing to get this ship moving to the next level. Really wish Rumph didn’t shit the bed soo bad but it did get us TRob.

Bring be TS, Couch, Blades at corner for 2021. Land Little Jr and 3-4 more for 2020 and 2021 classes.

Next up, DL coach needs to be a similar hire. Prefer another with DC experience. Always helps to have fall back plans!

I expect Manny to hire a DL coach and a DC or co-DC which means Baker is LB maybe co-DC.

I’d be surprised if trob agreed to NOT be coDC but baker keeps coDC with someone else. My guess is DL and solo DC on the way, Baker bumped down to LB alone, Patke moves to ST alone.

100% works for me although I could see Baker depart, Patke move to LB or ST with another brought in for the other role.

Great hire. I suspect we will have a new DC as well. Although I’m sure it won’t satisfy our whole fanbase because it wasn’t done fast enough :roll_eyes:

Patke fired apparently.

I believe that leaves Baker as the last one.

Banda- Utah state
Rumph- fired
Patke- fired
stroud- moving to admin
Baker- wait for it…

The next big question, is Manny a good enough CEO to pull off the next step up the ladder on the field. His off season moves the last two years have been impressive. Coaching replacements and getting some kids to actually return!

multiple sources saying Baker out now? if so, diaz has proved me wrong…maybe he has what it takes afterall?

Once banda was gone I think the writing was on the wall for the whole D. Banda the only one with value and had a landing spot lined up.

Where are you seeing this?

Never saw Patke was fired? I’d wager moved to ST alone. Baker I can’t see a good reason to keep him on staff.

Not sure he’s much of a coach, but checks all my hire requirements.

Admittedly, Robinson has a very shady past. Which is my way of saying, similar to Coley, no doubt he’ll be a good recruiter but not exactly the force he was elsewhere.
