ugadawg Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 http://www.utsports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/thompson_lance00.htmlI was watching the Ala vs Vols game and noticed that Monte is always talking to this guy. I am curious how much info he is able to soak up for a great DC in a year. Also reading his bio he also was a Saban guy. Do you think he would be a guy that UGA should look at for DC next year. Oh well bi weeks suck so it was just discussion material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKat Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Really good recruiter, really average position coach. Not sure how he would be as a coordinator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugadawg Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 only experience was at central Florida for 3 years. IF he cant then he has problem after working with some great Defensive minds over his careeroh and he must have done something right to get lavalump to all sec honors thanks for the info though you would know better than me it was just an observation from watching the game not any actual knowledge or admiration.

With that said, Thompson can recruit with the best of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon_91 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I doubt he would leave after just one year. If you assume Monte is about for say 4 years, CEO would be the next DC and then Thompson might leave for a DC job. Being able to learn under Monte for aslong as possible was apparently a big part of him taking the job...i doubt it only lasts one year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think he would stay behind to learn under Kiffin rather than take a D-Coordinator job -- Thompson is 45 years old and those kind of jobs do not come around often.

falcon_91 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 True, would be beneficial for him if he waited though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugadawg Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 True, would be beneficial for him if he waited thoughWhile it would be a great learning experience I would think learning from Saban for multiple years, Kiffin 1 yr and I was assume Tenuta while at GT that he had learned alot by now. Granted since I just started looking at him today I do not claim to be an expert on him but his pedigree seems very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SacFalcFan Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 CMR won't hire a guy who hasn't been a proven DC IMO. Lance can recruit and that's pretty much it. There are better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are probably right though, but thought MR might try and find another unknown diamond.While you dont think MR would do it what do you think about LT.

Average position coach and have no idea about his coordinator potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
