Burnham To UCF
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
I don't know about the UCF part but there is a thread from one of the mods that says Burnham out as DL coach in the title.
We needed a change. DL recruiting has been abysmal, and we need big time improvements in DL play overall but especially in the pass rush department. Maybe having Mimes slip away was the last straw....
Don't have to prove jack **** to you didn't even look on premium

Why don’t you two get a room .....
Losing Banks to Temple was the last straw. Peace out Burnham...he was easily our weakest recruiter.
Options for D Line Coach:
Panagoes, Temple D line coach
Chris Partridge , Michigan, Linebackers coach
Scott Vallone (now the Def Coord at St Lawrence)
many others, lol

I'd hire Panagos back in a heartbeat. One of the few Flood assistants worth anything.
I don't buy your theory. He's a Florida guy and has young kids....he recruits florida......once he hitches his wagons to Heupel, he's going to have at least four years of job security in Florida. They'll probably give him a raise, even from Rutgers' Big Ten money.
Burnham was from Florida so it may be wanting to take his family back home for a period of time. He recruited Florida but it doesn't look like we got many recruits from Florida in the last 2 years.
Colorful personality. If Ash is smart he brings in a DL coach with strong PA or NJ connections.

Correct. Quality Control.

Wonder where he resurfaces. He was put in a bad spot with Flood.
His bio says:
"He was the special teams coordinator at Rutgers from 2012-13.
In 2013, Rutgers scored four special teams touchdowns, including two kickoff returns and a punt return. True freshman Janarion Grant earned All-AAC Second Team honors as a return specialist.
The Scarlet Knights put together a strong special teams unit in 2012, ranking first in the nation with eight blocked kicks, ninth in kickoff return yardage defense (18.09) and 34th in kickoff return average (23.21)."
That's when special teams was special at Rutgers.
Banks issue had nothing to do with Burnham. It was just an odd situation that nobody can wrap their head around.
But we always need a goat or someone to kick here. It's what we do.
Please offer the job to Panagos......energetic young guy the players love....energy level off the chart. Very good recruiter at a position where we haven't been that successful.
When Chris Partridge was at The Citadel , he coached Defensive Line.
You know he can recruit.
Maybe Ash would like to steal a talented coach from Michigan?

I wouldn't say that nobody can wrap their heads around it. Even some folks from DePaul.
Sometimes you know what feels like a good fit, and what doesn't.
Then you would be wrong. He was at the end of his 2 yr. contract and not retained. And I bet you also thought Mehringer left being an OC on his own volition to be a glorified WR coach again.

My only hope is that as we move forward, we IMPROVE the quality of the coaches. It doesn't matter to me if they left, or were fired; only that the new guy is better.
Now, let's get us a better coach, and yes, spend if we have to.

Why are some folks overthinking this. Burnham has moved on. Does it really matter other than for some folks to feed their ego etc. Tne important and big thing is who will be his replacement. As several people has already expressed Panagos would be a very good choice. Might even flip Banks but I guess he signed early.
