Yall Sure About Retaining Bump?

New coach will watch film and he won’t be retained, guaranteed. Route running has gotten a million times worse
I like Bumphis, but the receivers haven’t looked great this season. I kind of hope he stays, but really there’s not any coach I’d care if the new coach lets go.
We should stop hiring coaches just because they played here or are from Mississippi. Some more good ole boy BS that needs to go.
no. i don't know why there's all of the love on here over Bumphis. his group hasn't improved one bit since game 1, and are MUCH worse than last year. can't block. run wrong routes, can't catch a cold. clean the entire house out, and start over. we are in a complete rebuild, anyway. no need to retain anyone for consistency. unless you want to remain consistently bad
We also lost 3 of our top 4 receivers from last year. These guys were backups for a reason. But you’re right. They’re not exactly being coached up either. I expected better. He seemed to be doing pretty good at Utah.
I 100% agree with ditching the whole Mississippi ties BS mindset. However, I will say that I’ve worked with people in the past (especially young people) that I thought were incompetent and then ran across them after they changed companies and they performed totally different when they were managed better. In other words, is this all him or filtering down from Barbay?
I thought about this too. Filtered down from ZA to Barbay to Bump, still they look terrible
I was impressed with the receivers’ routes and pass catching at Utah when Bump was there. For that reason, I’m thinking it’s more on Barbay.
Leach wanted him in an off the field role, and got absolutely BLASTED here. The only coaches I would retain are Turner, Mele, Knox. I would try to put Bump and Hughes in off field roles, but if they go it’s probably for the best long term.
I hate that he left Utah for this dumpster fire. I won’t care too much if we let him go, because it happens. I just wish we hadn’t brought him in and now set his career back a little.
‘Home’ is never quite as good as it sounds.
