If USF can land Bucs' Ron Cooper for DBs, it's a home-run hire. At LSU, coached 2 Thorpe winners in Peterson & Claiborne, plus Honey Badger.

I like how taggart is assembling an NFL defensive staff

I'd be happy with that hire. Even though the DBs were horrible this year, I wouldn't place the blame soley on Cooper.

He needs to bring Ronde in to talk to the DBs about the concept of interceptions.

Seriously?  The Bucs had the 5th best interception total in the NFL this past season.  Interceptions weren't their problem - it was the lack of an every-down pass rushing threat and an inability of the cornerbacks to cover receivers. 

 

Why are there so many misconceptions about how and where the Bucs struggled?

I think he was referring to the Bulls' DBs and their lack of interceptions.

Hope this is all leading up to an announcement in a couple of hours!

Better hurry or I'm dumping this into the assistant coach thread .... Only hired/hired-then-quit guys get their own thread.

Interesting tidbit. No idea about it's veracity, but didn't seem to be a Crazy Twitter tweek.

 

@CommishOnline Yes, I'm friend's with Coach Cooper's son, he will become the DBs coach and assistant HC at #USF.

USF is working on this now. Remember, nothing is official yet, but the hope is that they get it done and have Ron Cooper as the assistant head coach. I asked if he'd be the DBs coach and could not get any confirmation other than him being assistant head coach. I would assume he'd coach DBs as well, but that's just an educated assumption.

 

 

 

Hiring someone as Asst. HC and DB coach seems like a strange setup to me when you have a newly hired Defensive Coordinator in the mix as well... recipe for a power struggle.  I'm interested to see how this plays out.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
