TCU DC to be interviewed

[Vol4life09]

From footballcoachscoop.com:

Sources tell us that Head Coach Derek Dooley is expected to interview TCU Defensive Coordinator Dick Bumpus for the vacant Defensive Coordinator
position on his staff

 

[Burhead]

If that is real it would be a major hire.

 

[K Zed]

kinda scary that we don't have a defensive coordinator. Hope he takes the job. TCU has had a fine season.

 

[UTCVol]

If anyone questions this, go look up some stats. This guy is one of the best in the business.

 

[addictedTOorange]

Anyone have a bio on Bumpus. Thanks

 

[iuvol2012]

Bumpas would be a great hire, IMO.

 

[VolsNUT]

Beat me to it. Go get him Dooley!

Not bad... not bad, I like that he's aiming high.

 

[UTCVol]

And he has an awesome mustache.

 

[Nick04]

He's a Great DC.....
:rock:

They were ranked #6 in the country on total defense.

Also I didn't know he coached at UT...

 

[vol1187]

Coached here at TN as well. Maybe he enjoyed his time here.

 

[addictedTOorange]

Thanks Nut, his defensive numbers are scary and ridiculously good

 

[tim]

Looks like he was in K town for 4 years.

His name is Dick Bumpas and he used to coach at UT. Sounds good.

 

[T-TownVol]

Why was he DC only one year for us, but still on staff after that year?

 

[Athlete269]

That would be a GREAT hire!! :dance2:

Hope it works out!

GO VOLS!

 

[give_him 6]

Hope he brings the mustache too.

How funny would that be to steal their DC after Patterson supposedly turned down the Vols?

 

[Burhead]

Why was he DC only one year for us, but still on staff after that year?

He was Defensive Coordinator for Tennessee TECH, and coached Linebackers and Special Teams at Tennessee.

 

[vol_sec]

Isn't it amazing, I liked his bio before I read UT, but the fact he coached at UT in the past for some reason makes this an even greater hire to me

 

[cinnanutz]

i guess that's the end of the garner suppositions

 

[EricberryFAN]

Man i hope he is going after him, I watched TCU play and there D was really impressing!
GO VOLS!!!
