Re: DC?
To summarize, the Miami fans want to get rid of all the defensive assistants including Banda. Some of them would be a little happy about Banda leaving, BUT they would be MORE excited about other assistants leaving than they would about Banda leaving. One goes as far as to say that Banda being the ONLY defensive assistant that leaves would be the most 2020 thing. Some want him to stay cause of his recruiting.
But there is one fan that suspects, and HOPES IT IS NOT TRUE, that Banda knows the DC is getting fired and using our job as leverage for a promotion to DC there. They would like the idea of Banda getting our DC job cause it would point towards him not being who they replace their DC with.

Re: DC?
According to this we're targeting him, but it's not done yet. The fact that 22 told us about this several days ago and it's now being reported by the national guys makes me think it's going to happen. If they're still talking, the talks have got to be getting pretty serious.

Re: DC?
Well they do all unanimously agree that Banda is a great recruiter. He signed the top safety in the country this week and then a 4 star safety to boot. Miami fans are still reeling from their blowout loss to UNC last Saturday in which they gave up a record number of yards. Most realize he wasn’t the one calling the game but they seem to want the whole defensive staff replaced. Some admit Banda is probably the most valuable piece for them on that side of the ball though and wonder if Diaz will fire the current DC and promote Banda.AggieFanNate wrote:After reading the Miami forum do we want banda? Will he be good enough to make up for Andersons weak defense?
I guess what I took away from their message board is that they question his ability to call a game but no one questions his ability to recruit.

Re: DC?
Who cares if we actually win games. I know when I am at church surrounded by BYU fans, as long as I can brag about how we won recruiting battles, I don’t care if we get the crap beat out of us in the actual game.

Miami is 56th in the country in pass defense. They are a pretty mediocre defense overall.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑December 18th, 2020, 10:07 amI’m not going to primarily blame safeties for a defense that can’t stop the run.

Re: DC?
Well you have to win recruiting battles to win on the field. Unless your team is full of diamonds in the rough, you aren't going to be doing that well playing with walk ons and players nobody else wanted.ususports wrote: ↑December 18th, 2020, 10:10 amWho cares if we actually win games.

Re: DC?
I am not high on Banda. I’d be okay with the hire because of his recruiting chops. But it’s a lot easier to recruit to Miami. Who knows how well that will translate.
I think a base 4-man front is a big recruiting ask at the G5 level.
Can it work? Sure. But it seems like adding an unnecessary layer of difficulty.

Re: DC?
First, I was making a joke. However, my joke was based on how much emphasis is put on recruiting while ignoring on field performance. Our defense has always sucked when Frank has been co-DC, yet many have said (before the crap hit the fan) that we needed to keep him on staff in some way because he is such a great recruiter. The same has been said of other coaches. If these so-called “great recruiters” can’t do anything with these “great recruits” they are bringing in, we shouldn’t be so excited about having them on our staff. My joke was not targeting Banda, as no one knows if he can call a game, but I do believe that on field performance should be equally relevant in the evaluation process and not be ignored.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑December 18th, 2020, 10:15 amWell you have to win recruiting battles to win on the field.

Re: DC?
Oh I 100% agree. Maile was not a good DC and I don't think was that good of a HC. I'm glad he didn't get the job. And definitely on field performance is the most important thing.ususports wrote: ↑December 18th, 2020, 10:52 amFirst, I was making a joke.

Re: DC?
You are right. The great coaching by walter matthau is another in the bad news bears. I take back what I said. There are several examples of undermined teams playing above their heads because of great coaching along with players "finding themselves" along the way.dirtnsnow wrote: ↑December 18th, 2020, 11:06 amThe Big Green was another example.Aggie formerly in Hawaii wrote: ↑December 18th, 2020, 11:03 amAnd the Mighty Ducks.

Re: DC?
I'm not ready to say the Banda won't be a good DC. If I remember correctly, when Dave Aranda was hired from Hawaii his defense there wasn't all that impressive. He turned out all pretty good here and we were sad to see him leave. Then he went on to become one of the highest paid assistant coaches in the country.

Re: DC?
Banda isn't the DC at Miami, so it will be interesting to see what he does if they bring him in. BA has mentioned a 4-2-5 as well as a 3-4 base. And he does want to be an aggressive defense, fly to the ball, cause chaos, etc.

Re: DC?
One of the last things I would use to judge a coach is a fan web site. B.A. will make a good decision. I recall that the USU fan site was concerned with the Aranda hiring years ago, and thought that Josh Heuple was a poor coach.

Re: DC?
Some things to consider:
•Banda is not calling the defensive plays at Miami
•In 2017, Miami ranked 14th in average yards allowed (4.8)
•In 2018, Miami ranked 2nd in average yards allowed (4.3)
•In 2019, Miami ranked 7th in average yards allowed (4.7)
•In 2020 Miami ranked 68th in average yards allowed (5.7)
You can see why Miami fans are pissed. They've had an elite defense for the 3 years prior. They pretty much want everyone on the defensive side of the ball fired, even though they were top 15 for the 3 years prior. Their expectations are HUGE.
•Every starting safety that Banda has coached at Miami made it to the NFL and stuck in the NFL.
•Banda recruited the top safety 2 years in a row at Miami.
•By fans, Banda is almost universally accepted as the best recruiter on the staff. Some posters knocked him for losing to Alabama too often, etc.
•Miami is not an elite school to recruit to as compared with a lot of the other P5 schools.

I don’t think your last bullet point is exactly true. They are located in the most talent rich area in the entire country.BLUERUFiO wrote:Some things to consider:

But yes, they don’t have the money Alabama or Texas have. But they usually have top 10-15 classes every year and in 2008 had the #1 class. If they ever get the right head coach they would recruit top 5 every year.
It’s nuanced.

Re: DC?
Yeah, probably is more nuanced due to location and being in a P5 location. It certainly isn't an Alabama type school, but, it has its perks/benefits.2004AG wrote: ↑December 18th, 2020, 12:22 pmI don’t think your last bullet point is exactly true.
