Chris Rumph leaving for the Houston Texans

[spyfish007]

Irrelevant no matter how many times you repeat it Slingblade. Try 1-1 including last year’s beat down with the Vols trending up and South Carolina trending down. And the records and recruiting rankings support that. Not to mention, way to gloss over the Cocks getting Rocker to take the job simply because Tennessee asked him to take a reduced role. But don’t let facts get in the way of your take Carl

Yeah 8-7 over one of our worst periods is not something to write home about.

I would rather be a Tennessee fan over the next 5 years than a South Carolina fan for the next 5 years. I will say I enjoyed the USC UGa game last year, but enjoyed the Tennessee USC game better.

Yess! I have had that same thought. With the talent we currently have at the OL position's, I would think we would be very attractive to a great, well respected OL Coach.

We already have a great, well respected offensive line coach, we have no need of a second one. Unless CJP wants a second and I doubt that he does.

How so? South Carolina has had the better football program since 2005

If you don't see how South Carolina is a step down, simply would be a waste of breath even trying to explain it to you.

Booms time is winding down. Think 2012 for Dooley. Going to have trouble finding in demand assistants.

I don't think the ones that have left are the best recruiters on staff. They can easily be replaced.

Coaches jumping off like rats on a sinking ship. What’s going on here?

1. Marginal to bad coach in last year(s) of contract: See Butch and Muschamp.
2. Coaches not getting it done or being replaced by better coaches
3. Retirements
4. Discipline/violations/breaking law.
5. Coaches heading to HCs/areas they are more familiar with. (Johnson to Norvell)
6. Coaches heading to Alma Maters.
7. Proven coaches are given opportunities elsewhere (Rumph, Sherrer).

Thankfully we are not replacing coaches due to #1, 2 or 4.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

South Carolina is 8-7 against UT since 2005

If SCAR had Butch/Dooley instead of Spurrier/marginally better Muschamp (at least he understands defense), they would be 0-15 against us.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I hate to tell ya. But, we are the only school in the nation to have staff turnover so far. Weird how top teams never have this happen!

When is the last time bama kept both OC and DC for two seasons straight?
Even LSU, Aub, Ga and FL have had OC/DC turnover and that doesn't even count the position coaches.
Bama lost 6 or 7 coaches last year.

The truth generally tastes that way to those that have a problem consuming it

Oh I see that

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

I must have missed Rocker leaving!

Me too.

So this might be a summation of changes made this off-season:

RB Johnson to FSU, Graham to replace
ILB Sherrer to Giants, Nieds to replace
OLB Rumph to Texans, Shelton Felton to replace
TE Osovet to replace Nieds
DL Rocker to SCAR, Jimmy Brumbaugh to replace
Director of Football Operations: Huges to SCAR, Warsaw from MSSt to replace
Off Field Analyst: Chip Long, evidently not replacing anyone or maybe replacing Osovet

Report: Tennessee ‘planning to hire’ former Mississippi State staffer

That was fast: Tennessee reportedly hires Colorado defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh

Generally a job in the NFL is higher paying and more desirable for most coaches. Not sure what’s so hard to understand about that?

Plus they don't have to deal with recruiting, which can be very time consuming.....

It was /sarc. Sorry.

Apologies for mistaking your post

You mean beside NFL $$ - ?

 

[NCFisher]

Never? It's hard to take this seriously when words always, and never are used. I think LSU had some turnover, are they considered a top team?

Satire: It wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

Coach Rumph did a good job. I am sorry to see him go. Best of luck to you, Coach Rumph.

Chris Rumph just got hired to coach my Chicago Bears DLine. Crazy to see how many people were giving this guy a hard time in this thread.... also crazy how times change and peoples opinions change once you get a little peak behind the curtain.
