New DB Coach: Travares Tillman

[JoltinJacket]

Why'd he do that? What is his problem?

He was a GA and DB consultant on Kirby's staff. I do like the he stuck to his GT/O'Leary roots by not wearing any red. Tried his best to go neutral with the black gear.

Collins sucks. He'd rather hire his buds than the best coaches available.

What better coaches are available that are going to be a DB position coach at a 3 win program 3 years in a row? Better yet, how many DB coaches in the entire country can anyone even name?
The head coach is likely gone next year barring a miraculous turnaround and what position coach or coordinator worth their weight is gonna come to a program where their job too is most likely in jeopardy next year?

I like this hire, and like TChoice, I think it will be a good fit.

GT Alum
Short Resume
Crappy defensive stats

He’ll fit right in.

sure sounds a lot like:
Timeout
Delay of Game
Offside
Mis-snap

Ready,Fire,Aim.

Ah öööö

He was employed by them as a coach guys…this is him coming home.

Beautiful family

Notice the cold dead expression on Coaches face, the intentional non use of a red hat….this was him crying out for help.

Post is from 2016. He was an assistant at ugag from 2016-2018.

I like the hire - two pretty good coaches put him on their staff. And once again, its not conclusive to cherry pick one year as an example of what we can expect.

Let's give him and the new OC a chance.

If he has been following CMT around for this long, then he has learned from the best how to be a bagma, i mean recruiter.

With all the new hires does that mean that CGC overvalued the staff he brought with him to GT? Or did he bring them because he was comfortable with them?
Does it mean that perhaps CGC was/is not astute with those hires & has suddenly gotten better at hiring? Or is someone else making those hires.
Don't want this to sound unfair to CGC but wondering.

I think it's probably a mix of things. He was comfortable with them, probably didn't have a big enough budget to do much better and apparently got turned down by a few first choices last time.

 

[ThomsonJacket]

From everything I've seen, I like both of the hires so far.

 

[RamblinWreck92]

Welcome back, Coach - please suck less than the last guy.

 

[BEEFENSE]

Y'all--what super duper CB coach is gonna climb aboard a lame duck coaching staff? Give him a chance. Can't be worse than what we had. Negativity has taken over this "fan" base.--very disturbing.

Overall, Michigan State's defense was not all that good, but at least their passing efficiency defense was 84th vs. our dead, freaking last, 130th.

I think you are over-thinking it.

I don't think a new DC is happening, unless that DC is Geoff Collins.

I told you guys that Thacker wasn't getting demoted. There were never any posts or articles that said anything was happening to Thacker.

Pretty sure it was said he was moving into another role on defense, cant go up

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. It's hard to say from his track record how well he is as a coach. He definitely knows how to play the position.
