Is he ready to move up? With the rumor noise on Chavis I thought this would be a valid question?

this is definitely the place to try out position coaches as DC

I guess maybe you are referring to the possibility of Gonzales as OC.

But what your answer to my question?

Offensively, we can get away with a position coach. We had the worst offense in the SEC and still managed a 9-3 record. Defensively, hell no. We need an established, proven DC.

The answer is no. Cooper is over rated. U.S.C.E was not dissappointed in him leaving. He takes a lot of risk in recruiting. some have panned out, some have failed. He's a me guy and not a we guy. always looking out for #1, himself. He's failed when he's been at the top, see louisville.

He is a good DB coach. It ends there.

doc's got a hard on to say negative things about Cooper.

That being said, I'd like someone a little more proven and I doubt Miles makes the choice to promote a position coach to Defensive Coordinator so soon after the last debacle.

yep, that's it. i just can't wait to say negative things about cooper. it's what i live for.

I bet you'll find very little negative comments in my history, particularly on the coaches. Therefore, why would i be negative on this one issue?

do we have a little projection going on with your anatomy fascination?

I got no problem with your opinion doc. I just wanted to let the guy who asked the question to know that you don't like Cooper, but it's not an opinion shared by the majority of people on TD.

is it his teaching or the scheme of the d.c.? mallory did well as a secondary coach for pelini, right? would you consider him a great coach?

i believe the question was about a d.c. not a secondary coach.

I personally think Cooper is ready for a D-Coordinator position. I was impressed with the physical play of our DB's. This leads me to believe the guy is agressive and a trait of a good future D-Coordinator.

Nothing about this post is true. He is far from overrated; he's the best coach on this staff. Also, I don't have any idea what USCe fans you talked to because I live in South Carolina and they were all pissed to see him leave. He's put guys into the NFL that had no business being there. We're gonna start seeing the kind of DB play at LSU that we had when Saban was here.
