Defensive Coaching changes

[AZGrizFan]

How could I have ever guessed that you would be unhappy. Should have hired somebody from Butte I guess. Your takes are getting really old. Hang it up. Please don’t come to any games or wear gear or act like you support the program in anyway. We don’t want or need you.

If these guys are so friggin good - why weren't they leading before this season? It's a chair shuffle, and nothing more. It could be a good...we shall see.

Well honestly, that exact statement could be made for literally any hire...no matter who it was.

Now - go grab some tissues, wipe your tears, and stop throwing temper tantrums because someone posted something that triggers your feelers.

Because the existing coaches in front of them were friggin good and friggin experienced.

You seem to be triggered by someone commenting on your posts and not thinking anyone should comment on your posts. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way around here.

Hey, where is my chair?

It's right over there - we shuffled them.

Found it!

Good, let's go win the conference and compete for a top 2 seed!

What?

I would get this if we were talking the offensive changes but on the Defensive side, I think these are spectacular moves. We’re not just playing musical chairs here. We’re replacing our DC/LB coach with guys who have just recently entered our program and we still will be replacing our DL coach.

Tell me how moving RB to DC and S’s isn’t a big move. For one, he’s coached safeties far longer then he’s coached corners and he has 16 years of NFL and FBS experience including coaching safeties at USC before he came to UM.

Tell me how moving RC from safeties to LB isn’t a much better fit. The man coached 18 all con picks at Idaho St. IDAHO FREAKING STATE!! He was a BSC defensive MVP at LB also.

Tell me how KM is not a good move. This will be his 24th year coaching, the vast majority at the FBS while coaching mostly corners including a couple stunts as a DC.

I think you’re way off base here. Please tell me why I’m wrong.

I'll give you a hint: [spoil]Bobby made the changes and everything he does must be wrong[/spoil]

Agreed. i love these changes. This wasn’t the side of the ball I was worried about.

Why wasn't RB coaching safeties from the get-go then? Why wasn't RC coaching LBs from the get-go then?

Switching chairs. I'm not suggesting it's a bad thing. After all, if it weren't for the Griz D the last few years - the Griz would have been bottom dwellers in the BSC.

But, it also doesn't represent the BIG changes posters are describing here. It is also not a predictor of an improved defense. These dudes were ALREADY here.

I'm not going to change your mind - so not trying. It's OK to have dissenting opinions on an interwebs fan site.

Exactly. So, why is everyone so friggin giddy about these non-changes?

Have you ever had a boss and thought, "If I was in charge, I'd change these things and performance would improve."? That's kind of how I look at this.

Sure. Wonder how often improvements actually happen? My guess is some/many think they are smarter/better than the boss. But, are they?

Only one way to find out.
Who do you think we should've hired for these jobs instead?

At long last! Bradford's gonna do great as the DC. Interesting that Bobby is moving Bradford to Safeties coach rather then keeping him at Corners. I would've preferred to keep him at Corners and put McCloud at Safeties. It's not that I don't think Bradford will do good at Safeties, it's more just the fact that he was killing it with the Corners and if it ain't broke don't fix it. Excited for McCloud to become a full time assistant as well. He's way too experienced of a coach to be serving as an analyst so I'm stoked it worked out for him to stay as the original reports were that he was only going to be with the Griz through last season and that would be it. Also excited for Cooper to move back to his natural position at LB. I don't think he did a bad job as the Safeties coach, but there's no doubt that he's more of a LB's coach. I expect him to do well. Interested to see who Bobby brings in to coach the DL. I'd like to see a younger guy with a lot of energy like Barry Sacks.

Now we patiently wait for changes to the offensive side of the ball!

Bobby will never change his offense, the change will come when Bobby is gone. Perhaps 2035.

Just in time for Robbie to assume the mantle for his 35 year run.

If you’re not observant enough to see the obvious answers to your first two questions then there’s not much help for you. But then that explains your switching chairs comment. It’s not just switching chairs. The desk in the big office opened up so some of the chairs have emptied and others moved into more comfortable chairs. I’d hope that analogy would help you but I’ve got a hunch you won’t budge and admit that your original comment might be off base. These are big changes just in the very fact that you mention our D has been the life saver of this team and that will be maintained with these moves. We’re not taking a step back and possibly could be a step forward with fresh blood and a new approach. I’m also a bit disappointed your not going to try to back up your defense of your ho hum attitude towards these moves which comes off as disappointment. I’d think you’d soldier up and defend your beliefs but maybe deep down inside you realize you’d be fighting a losing battle and not just because your not gonna change my mind but maybe because you do realize these are big moves.

Well obviously anyone besides the people we did hire because for one, you can never be proven that you were wrong.

Lol. There has been like 4 people in this thread expressing their approval of the coaching changes. Half of the posts in this thread are from you trying to convince "everyone" that these are, in fact, "non-changes" while continuing to post about them. Do you understand irony? It is you who is triggered. And yes, replacing our DC while moving coaches around is a change, that's a simple fact. And there are more to come. Another fact. Is it really that difficult to understand?

Don’t worry, he won’t try to convince you how he’s right that these changes are no big deal and only respond with his coffee drinking emoji conveying how he’s more knowledgeable then you cus you drank the kool aid and that he’s above responding other wise.

Conversely, why are you so down on them? They could have hired strangers from other programs...would that make you happier?

You seem to be simultaneously suggesting that the coaches all do the same job, regardless of their position, but also that someone from outside the program would come in and do the same job someone else was doing completely differently.

Yes. Yes it would.

A very simple question for you...answer yes or no.

Does the current coaching staff of the Griz have the potential to win a FCS National Championship?
