605
Tigers had a plus talent roster in the AAC and two great kickers. Not saying coaching did not help, but there was superior talent as,well.
HCMM had enough confidence in Chev to give him a big promotion. In hindsight, a home run. But the resume didn't scream that out.
If Eric Mangini is at 605, something awful would have had to happen. However Mark Mangino may well be up there now.
Not that big of a promotion. He went from WR/STC/RC to WR/Co-OC/RC. Paid him $265k when Lindgren is at $481k and Bernardi is at $311k.
It wasn't a risky hire. It was actually a coup, considering that he was coming from a TTU offense that at the top of the nation in 2015. Lots of P5 teams would have been comfortable with making that hire.
2016 assistant salaries
I'm hearing Mangini is interested in coaching in Anaheim for UCLA.
Fortunately or unfortunately Huard kept pointing out that CU laid the blueprint out on how to defend wazzu. Hopefully Tumpkin remembers it.

To those of you that will be grading Tumpkin tonight on the DC job he does, what are some of the benchmarks you'd like to see? (aside from the obvious of them not scoring) what else would you like to see out of him?
I personally will be watching to see how aggressive we get with our blitzes as well as half time adjustments. They run a lot of weird formations with the RBs in the backfield, I'm curious how we are going to handle that.

Team energy, players helping each other out instead of looking towards the sidelines for instructions, no blown assignments, no substitution issues, no personal foul penalties, and smiles all around.

For as good of a team as OSU has, their o-line play has been horrid. I want to see Rudolph on his back and not given enough time to do consistently roll out of the pocket and throw that makes him dangerous. Also, no offsides beyond the first drive, and limited personal fouls (one hit on the qb/punter is forgiveable if early, hits out of bounds are not).
I don't know that I'm evaluating him on tonight so much as wanting to get a feel for how he coordinates. Do I find him predictable? Does he favor pressure or max coverage? That kind of thing.
I'll rephrase it. He went from coaching at a Juco in Calif to 2 years at TTU (only one coaching in the offense) to our CO-OC coach. That's fast-track. Simply was trying to use it as an example that I don't think that HCMM needs to hire a DC with a giant national reputation as a DC.

Tumpkin did not impress as dc. About as bland and vanilla as the offense looked. Blitzes were predictable, pass rush non existent, coverage was pretty soft. Mac saying everybody was injured (eye roll).
Just own that pos that was laid on the field. Pretty unimpressive performance across the board.

Tump should be exactly what he is. A defensive backs coach. Time for CU to do what it should have been doing all along. Find a legit d coordinator
A real search and get the very best candidate possible

With the bowl game over and in the middle of the recruiting dead period will we start to hear some possible news soon?
If it is somebody off some other college staff it may wait until after LOI day. If M2 has another NFL guy coming it will be after that team is eliminated so could be any time after Sunday.
A name that I hadn't thought about in a while who should be on the list of DC interviews is Duane Akina.

There's nobody better as a DB Coach, he's got the respect and ties to the islands that CU has been missing, and he's just spent 3 years in the Stanford system which is mostly a 1-gap 34 front (they 2-gap about 25% of the time like we do to mix it up and bring pressure) and they also press with physical coverage from their corners.

Not concerned he's basically Greg Brown? Career DB coach?
That's the question mark with him, for sure. I would think that Stanford not being on the upcoming schedules (back with Cal for a couple years) makes it a possibility, though.
