Reading between the lines on Stoops’ postgame: losing Brad White?

[Imafan4evr_]

I don’t have the specific quote, but when discussing changes coming, Stoops spoke about defense being his “forte” and how he can absorb a loss on that side much easier than on the offensive side. This was the UK postgame show, if anyone has a more concrete quote to share.

The tea leaves to read there would say he’s priming us for the loss of Brad White, which we all knew would be one of the more likely coaches to get poached eventually. The answer to this question is probably obvious: how do we feel about that going into next season?

I don’t feel it’s a huge loss. The reason is Stoops ruins his staff and cuts their legs out from under them by interfering.

This is exactly it that’s the reason we’ve had 7 offensive coordinators since 2013 and the offense has been horrid almost every single year and it looks the same with different coordinators. He has his nose too much in it instead of letting his coordinators have their own reins! It’s crazy how every coordinator we’ve had before they got here were exceptional and after they left here exceptional but all mediocre while here. He could fire Hamden today and bring in the best college offensive coordinator in the country and they will look exactly like his 7 other ones he’s had before him!

Our defense just gave up 358 rushing yds to the STINKIN UofL Cardinals!!!!

Something is DEFINITELY going on behind the scenes with not only Brad White's defense, but the ENTIRE coaching staff!!!

Brad may be ready to move on to a bigger program before it gets even UGLIER!!!

It pains me to say that, but we are currently in the middle of a dumpster fire.

Yes 100% agree. If you hire smart and talented people, trust them do the job they were hired to do.

Sounds like the defense played like they knew their coaches were leaving

 

[HerrosHeroes]

He Gone

 

[CRZ4UK]

I don’t know who replaces him but I for one am glad he is leaving. His passive style kills me. No one in college football gives up more 3rd and long first downs.

Losing white would be real bad. It would also mean losing our incoming recruits on that side of the ball. We are looking at a rebuild regardless. I’d rather not rebuild every simgle part

 

[Cobb4uk]

Well, maybe Wesley Woodyard can help us find a good replacement. He knows aggression.

If White leaves, let me introduce you to our new DC......

Excited?

I forgot he was on staff. This scares me. Maybe we won’t win a game next year.

Stoops style at FSU was bend but don't break. He was in a weak conference and only needed one or two wins to get a national title.

Our defense gives up over 30 points a game to P4 opponents.
Not a stellar loss if he goes.

FSU won their national title the year AFTER Stoops left.

Let White go easily replaced get a young aggressive d coordinator with some fire in his butt
