Golden knows the missing recipe to make the two tight end system work. With the 4 pick in the draft dallas selects some unknown TE. Book it.

Garrett has stated Mike Pope is not going anywhere, just taking care of personal things.

This guy is turrble

And you know this how? He didn't do well at Miami as a HC, but did at Temple. He would be coming here as a position
coach, so what are his strengths and weaknesses as a position coach?
I don't care either way if he comes or not, but just to write him off as "turrble" because of Miami seems unjustified.

HIs days at UVA were not so great either as a DC. And I am very familiar with that. I do believe he can help with the draft. The ACC has some awesome sleeper talent. I hope he can help there

To coach the secondary?? His background is predominantly LB's though.

Miami has played against Florida State, Florida, Duke and Clemson all in the last three years. All but Florida multiple times.

The top 4 Safeties (arguably) in this upcoming draft are, Jalen Ramsey (FSU), Keanu Neal (Florida), Jeremy Cash (Duke) and Jayron Kearse (Clemson).

Three of those four play in the ACC. The other in Florida. It is likely that, in addition to playing against all of these guys and game planning them, Golden probably recruited all of them as well. He will have info going back on them to their early teens.

May be nothing but it may be an indication of where we might be thinking about going with our draft.

We seem to always be shopping for groceries is places no good football team would ever frequent.
We seem to love coaches and players from Cleveland, Oakland, Miami, etc. Why do we never shop
for talent or coaches in New England, Seattle, Arizona, even Tampa Bay (see Lovie Smith). Garrett just
loves to live at the bottom of the pickle barrel.

Honestly you have to take things online with a grain of salt. People say things with little or no info just because that's the thing to say. He didn't do anything in Miami like that's the only place he was at. He turned Temple around and doing that by itself is enough to think he has to be good at something lol.

Golden was a pretty decent defensive coach. He just wasn't cut out to be a head coach IMO. Some guys just don't have the chops to make it as a head coach but are very good assistants. we had one here in Phillips.

If it's a name I haven't heard before (you should if you follow college at all).... He must suck.

/zone


And for the record he did a good job at Miami. Unrealistic expectations at the program coupled with his entire tenure under NCAA investigation conspires against him.

Early on I felt it was obvious that if we brought in a legitimate coach, Garrett would feel his job was threatened. How many years did Romo not have a legitimate offensive coordinator?

Who did he bring in to be the "passing game" coordinator? His own inexperienced brother... Nepotism at its worst. We had three Garrett's on the staff at one point.

We finally bring in a legitimate coach in Callahan and we don't let him run his own system... making him sure to fail. Then we bring in Linehan to run Garrett's offense...

Hey, I'm willing to try anything at this point unless you are comfortable with this drought.

Darnit...I was hoping for a good high profile head coach or DC to come and coach our lowly secondary.

Thanks Jerry and Garrett for the continuity of let down.

I was counting on it luring Jimmy out of retirement. You know he's always wanted to coach under Garrett.
