WR coach replacement

You want a DB coach to coach our WRs and I'm the one with a crazy thought? Jeez.

You're the one comparing that with PM being a LB coach.

4 years in our WRs know the process that CBJ is expecting from them. The position coach is the guy that builds on what has been established by impacting the mental aspect of preparation and game day.

When a WR can get into the mind of a DB and use that knowledge against them, good things can happen.
 
Larry was interim HC at the U so I would think his knowledge and name recognition in Miami area is impressive. Vols have been signing some terrific athletes - Byrd, etc. from Florida so this is a pipeline that can pay big dividends. Brandon Johnson - others look far better in SEC action than their rankings. I would rather hit Florida hard than worry about Memphis. Virginia also loaded with talent in Tidewater area. Saw where Gerald Brown will take QC position with Vols - that is adding some serious experience to offense.

Scott's ties and relationships are with the Tampa area.

I used to PM coaching LBs example to illustrate the absurdity of your sincere thought that the #1 option for our new WR coach is a DB coach, Terry Fair. It's ridiculous.

And it's not "4 years into the process" for any WR who hasn't been in the program that long. We have primarily sophomores and freshmen at this point, and a good solid WR coach is desperately needed to technique, philosophy and yes, Jones' offense.

Could a DB coach come over into the WR room every once in awhile to discuss how he teaches defending WRs and could that occasionally be helpful?.....sure. But it's absurd to suggest that a DB coach should be named our next WR coach.

It's the mental battle against the DBs that our WR need to improve. Terry Fair could help with that certainly as a WR coach.

The only WRs that need to learn the process are the incoming guys, as for the rest all they know at the college level is CBJ's(except any transfers or Juco guys).
 
I like the Gerald Brown hire. He has solid NFL experience. Not sure about Kippy but, he has a boat load of experience. I would think our WRs would improve with two NFL level coaches working them. Thoughts?

Kippy is solid enough to be our Head Coach. He is unequaled as a receivers coach. He would be a great addition to our staff but i can't believe he would take the job.
 
I would love to have Kippy as well, but being 61 and coaching at a lot of destinations in his career, he may enjoy the time relaxing and staying put. However, I know coaching is in your blood and he may miss it. I wonder how he would recruit compared to Beard? I guess he could rely on his vast NFL experience.

So what does Terry Fair tell all the new guys? How to back peddle off the line? Turn their hips? Dude, just stop.

He would coach them up on the mentality of a DB. The best way to get in their head and to rattle them. From getting them to second guess their technique to creating the confidence that they know what the DB is thinking. As important as it is to not have tells it's just as important to recognize tells of the DB.

Know your competition. Get the DB to do what you want them to do.

I keep seeing you type this, yes he coached high school way back when in Tampa. But he has ties in all of Florida not just one town. He's been in South Florida since 2006 til he come here in 2016.

2001 Tampa (FL) Wharton HS (RGC/OL)
2001–2003 Tampa (FL) Freedom HS (OL)
2004 Sebring (FL) HS (co-OC)
2006 South Florida (GA)
2007–2008 South Florida (TE)
2009 South Florida (OL)
2010–2011 South Florida (TE)
2012 South Florida (RB)
2013–2015 Miami (FL) (TE)
2015 Miami (FL) (interim HC)
2016 Tennessee (TE)
2017-present Tennessee (OC)

It still doesnt make sense. You wouldnt let a DB coach coach QBs so they can get inside the head of the DB.

Actually, he clearly would. Makes zero sense, but he would. In other news, he'd also have his qb coach handle the DL, his kicking coach teach running backs and his offensive coordinator handle defensive quality control.

QB is dealing with all 11 on the defense a WR often times will be on an island 1 on 1 against the same DB all game long making it more personal. To be able to manipulate that particular defender would create an edge that would be beneficial to the WR.

Ok, so the DB now turned WR coach teaches the WR what the DB is gonna do.....so who then teaches the WR the techniques that counter/defeat/beat what the DB is gonna do? The same DB coach who's never done it?

Yes the same guy.

You act like the only thing a DB coach knows about football is being a DB. TF played in the NFL I bet he learned some tricks and techniques from the WRs he practiced and played against that would help a college WR beat the DB they face.

Anybody can teach the basics but it's the tricks of the trade that can make the biggest impact.

These are complimentary positions where an in-depth knowledge of the other is critical to success.

Did you know USF is located in Tampa?

Name of the school makes no sense to me based on location, but I guess they didn't want to be UCFW.

Dude, for the umpteenth time, you don't hire a DB coach to coach WRs.....and Butch didn't, in case you didn't notice.

And please try to stay focused here.....I stated in an earlier post that a DB coach could occasionally visit the WR room or give pointers on the practice field in order to give the WRs some pointers from a defensive perspective....solely supplemental stuff. But there's zero chance any head coach is gonna hire a DB coach to coach WRs.

And again, who did Butch just hire? A WR coach or a DB coach to be his new WRs coach? This is ridiculous that we're even having this exchange.

Keep the savage under wraps!

Yes, I did notice the hire. I think it will work out just fine.
