DC/OL Coach Hot Board

[SGG]

Nassau CC probably has better O Tackles. Watching Tarquin try to block last week was about the saddest thing I have seen as a Gator fan. Up there with our guys blocking each other. Or the lil guy throwing the shoe.

Forgot Delance and Xavier Nixon that fast, huh?

Butch Davis is available. yes I know he is old but I guarantee him coaching anyone's defense would be better than any team Joe Lee Dunn Jr. has his stamp on.

Lol...he went 0-5 last year and is 1-8 this year.

I was just digging on Butch Davis. Here is what I found:

1. When he was the DC of the Dallas Cowboys back in 1993 and 1994 he coached the #2 and #3 scoring defenses in the NFL. So the guy was an elite NFL DC back in the day.

2. We know he could recruit and coach back when he was at Miami.

3. When he went back to the NFL at Cleveland, he was actually the last coach to take Cleveland to the playoffs until it was done in 2020. His defenses were ranked 15th, 10th, 12th, and 24th in scoring defense. So most of the time his defenses were in the top half of the league.

4. At North Carolina his defenses ranked 43rd, 32nd, 14th, and 45th. So he was pretty decent there as well.

We can go ahead and eliminate Orgeron from the DC board.

Orgeron was never a DC. He is a position coach and RC.

I agree with that. I never saw him as that, but I've seen other fans suggest Orgeron as DC.

Youve probably alsoseen them suggest Tim Tebow.

you may have not gotten the word but there's no requirement that you'd be even semi-intelligent post here.

Ask Crete.

This is perhaps the most irrelevant thread ever. Assistant coaches are completely irrelevant as long as Dan is still in charge.

Sadly, I actually have seen that over on TOS.

There is a guy who wouldn't surprise me. I actually have good reason to believe he was high on Mullen's list a couple of years ago. Won't get into how I know that, but I wouldn't be surprised if Don Brown's name comes up eventually. Looks like he might be a candidate for the UMass job, though.

In the past he's had really good defenses, so I would not be upset at all if he's the guy who gets the call.
