Would y'all agree Bates

Was a home run hire? I never doubt Dabo and his decision on Bates was brilliant. I think the DL is even more tenacious than last years.

I trust that he'll work out but it's a little premature to say homerun especially while he's coaching the guys who have been studs for a while now.

Exactly. Judge the coaches on how they develop talent, not maintain it.

So in that case, Streeter deserves a lot more love

XT, and Mascoll are on the way, I also believe we land Henry, as Ferrell and Bryant leave for the NFL, and Bates is part of that. Also, we get to move another coach to the D-line after this season, like we have had in the previous years, with Brooks and Hobby. So, at that point Bates won't have as heavy of a load. Brooks himself said at camps that Bates was the best coach there. I'll take his word.

I agree but, I am not as aware of who is is on the field


Sep 10, 2017, 12:41 AM

at all times, but did not Big Dexter sit out a lot of plays in the second half? If his number is 90, I did not notice it. I may be wrong.

He came out a lot on 3rd down because it was a passing situation and we went with 3 on the DL.

That's still to be determined


Sep 10, 2017, 1:20 AM

The players all seem to really like him and the line certainly has not regressed but wth the talent they have right now you could pick a random fan out of the stands name him D line coach and they would dominate. Now all signs point to him doing a great job and that there should be no drop off in talent or production in the coming years but he's replacing two great coaches and a lot of experience to be named a home run hire just yet.

In 2 years if we still have an elite DL...then


Sep 10, 2017, 1:41 AM

Let's see how we perform the next few years on the DL.

Dan Brooks was the best IMHO- and I think he will be missed down the road
no matter who we have coaching.

This year it is about getting and staying healthy. Lawrence does not look 100% yet.

The Pagano transfer and Yeargin injury were body blows.

Yes, but previously only after reading the high praise about Bates from Coach Brooks. Now we are seeing what Dan saw.
