For Everyone That Wants Bumpas as DC
Posted on 12/1/08 at 6:34 pm
Posted on 12/1/08 at 6:34 pm
I'm a TCU alumnus, an LSU grad student, and a life-long LSU fan. My family and I donate frequently and heavily to TAF, Forever LSU, TCU's Frog Club, and TCU's Clark Society.
As someone who has met Dick Bumpas, has friends who played on TCU's defense and one friend still playing on it, I can tell you that WE DO NOT WANT BUMPAS AT LSU. His role at TCU amounts to that of an assistant DC, as HC Gary Patterson is the de facto DC at TCU, with Bumpas simply having the title. Bumpas' primary role on the team is as the D-line coach, he doesn't run defensive practices, and GP is the person that sends the signals in on defense. The bulk of every practice is run in two halves with Patterson running the defensive half, and Mike Schultz (OC) running the offensive half. Short of LSU putting together 1.5-2.0 million per year to hire GP as our DC, we will not be getting the leader of the TCU defensive staff and the success it could bring.
PLEASE LET THIS RUMOR DIE.

Gary Patterson for LSU DC?

He would probably do it if Miles was established and older and he could be the heir apparent like JF at FSU and WM at Texas. And if the price was right, of course.

Thats what people said about Muschamp when he was at LSU with Saban.

I'm sure a head coach will gladly step down to become our DC.

Bumpas is also an old fart

Comparing Bumpas to Muschamp is apples to oranges. The DC position at TCU is the highest he has gotten and he is almost 60.
I feel bad talking shite about him because I don't think he's a bad coach at all, and he's a hell of a guy. He's just not what you people seem to think he is.

Muschamp hadn't been bumming around mid-majors and getting fired from Houston with Bradley dale peveto for the past 30 years like Bumpas either.

...and about Mallory when he was with Pelini.
Bumpas isn't the guy you want him to be.

You don't give Bradley Dale enough credit for his Purple Swarm at Northwestern, Max. Scary as hell from what I've been told.
