Rumor from another board is 2 Defensive coaching changes are imminent

[DownwardDawg]

Why? "...got championships and money too. Not gonna be treated like I don't know football and I'm begging for a job."

When was that?

[Big4Dawg]

Our corners have played fine. Our S have given up big play after big play

[Todd4State]

Hughes, yes. Townsend, not so much. Townsend is secondary recruiter on Smitherman and Stamps. He's not primary on a single class of 2015 commit. The idea of Townsend as a recruiter has thusfar greatly surpassed the reality...

Hughes and Knox are our elite recruiters. Followed pretty closely by Collins

Deshea might help us out in South Panola- but the reality is if we get a player from there it's usually because they are a MSU fan and would come if Charley Shira offered.

Where did you get this quote?

[Todd4State]

I'm going to be pissed off if we fire defensive coaches for the Egg Bowl and leave the offensive staff alone- particularly Hevesey if we're going to fire people based on Egg Bowl performance. Sallach should be a close second for losing Jarvis Wilson.

But hey, Dan whatever makes you feel better.

I can't see us getting rid of Hughes to be honest. It's not his fault that Cox got into a domestic dispute and that Market blew out his Achilles Tendon. If we're going to hire two coaches, let's make Hughes the DB coach and essentially use Deshea's spot for a real special teams coach. Whomever the other coach is, I imagine he probably coaches something critical that we can't combine or leave vacant.

[Coach 57]

Townsend has actually been very good with the CBs. Corner play has actually gotten better since he's been here. But the S play is what cost us on defense in that game.

[GTHOM]

If anybody needs to be fired its hevesy, people have bitched about him for years. it has about a 0000000000000.1 percent chance of happening though. i would be surprised if anybody left on defense, they do need their asses chewed after yesterday though. mullen included

[AlSwearengen]

I shutter at the thought of what our recruiting would be like without Hughes. I have felt like safety was our least talented position and that was a lot of our problem back there. But, I don't know a lot about football, so.

[I seen it dawg]

Coaching moves happen. Let's let it play out. Normal for this time of year.

[basedog]

I could see Hughes moved to recruiting coordinator, with his son moving on maybe! Also word is Mullen wants Coach O in some capacity, can't see this happening unless he is the DC, maybe demote Collins to LB'er coach. Townsend isn't the problem nor is David Turner. Time will tell if this staff but lots of rumors on the defensive side!

[Bucky Dog]

Whatever is going on needs to happen now. We don't need it hanging over our head or the speculation.

[Smitty]

Id take O as one of our famous CO-Coordinators. And let him call the schemes and shit. Collins still gets his $$$ but can't cost us another Natty with ineptness.

[preachermatt83]

Deshea is gone and needs to be. Our cb's have gotten progressively worse since he has been here. period.

I know for a FACT that coach o has spent a great deal of time on campus this year. I know also for a fact that during game week a few weeks back he was seen coming out of the seal building.

[JohnGalt]

DT is the problem? Dude...

[GTHOM]

If we get coach o i will be ecstatic after seeing the fire he got those USC players to play with. Hes a proven recruiter too. That would be a great move. Yaw yaw yaw yaw

[ScottH]

Hes a proven recruiter too.

That wins understatement of the day.

(No offense meant GTHOM.)

[GTHOM]

none taken my friend i really hope mullen gets him

Yeah, but I think that was for a coaching clinic. It's not like he's hanging out at Rick's scarfing down Red Bull every weekend.

If Coach O wants to be a DC, he needs to remember that he is unemployed right now. Beggars can't be choosers.

I do want to keep Hughes. If we lose Hughes, we need to go after David Saunders.
