SAME! I'm appreciative of what Bump did for us when he played WR, great player under Mullen...BUT very concerned about his coaching/developing of our WR players. You really ONLY have one job, catch the damn football and his guys failed this past season.

I'm concerned b/c I would argue Bump has the second most import job on the Offense (behind the OC) of making sure our WRs catch the damn football in this Lebby offense. IMHO, it appears he doesn't have what it takes to excel into a great SEC coach, he seems more of a yes man. He might just need to be at JUCO or D2 level. His WRs had many drops, ran wrong routes, blocked wrong & never seemed to learn the Barbay offense. Yes, Barbay & his O sucked ass, but you still should simply catch the damn football.

Now, in recruiting, he has a MUCH BETTER shot to be a successful SEC recruiting coach due to his connections, charisma and connecting with players/families. These are his talents.

I was hoping Lebby brought in his own WR coach.
