:headscratch: who is Davis?

I believe Terry may have been thinking overall yardage and maybe even rushing yardage over the last 5-6 games of the season. I remember him making reference to the final stretch of games of last season when it was first announced that Stoutland was hired. As for Davis, I'm not sure.

Like I said "MAY HAVE BEEN". I wasn't positive on the numbers. I do believe that Terry mentioned when Stoutland was hired that Miami had averaged like 220+ yds rushing per game over their last 5-6 games. That would translate to better numbers than what we had during that same stretch.

My concern regarding Coach Stoutland was not Practice, at least in and of itself. Prectice was cited as one of several potential areas for transition issue; cited because Barrett had already spoken to the existance of potential issue (in that case reestablishing a practice routine).

How does the old saying go on the plaque in the BDS locker room, "Football is running hitting and tackling...". Heck every coach teaches this, its just some do it better than others. Whereas I believ3e that a Saban choice can teach this well, I'm not ready to give him a pass saying that he would not suffer the same first year less-than-stellar showing that Coach Saban showed.

Its a first year. There will be new terminology, new schemes, new approaches to how to address the SEC offenses that Coach Stoutland has not faces.

Coach Stoutland could very well turn out to be better than Coach Pendry, but until the question is answered with play on the field we will not know.

No, there isn't. He was brought in and told "this is our system."

The difference lies in some of the workouts. It has nothing to do with scheme, blocking, etc.

It's two different coaching styles. BUT, it's one coach.

 

[BamaDelta]

Hey Terry, you know Vollmar left in January for Michigan right?

I like everything else you say though. We need our line to perform better this year, so here's hoping all is well with the transition.

 

[TerryP]

You are looking at the tree instead of the forest Sandra. It is all about staff chemistry...or, at least that's the point I was trying to make.

Sorry Terry. I mis-typed. I was intending to say "...how to address the SEC Defenses...", which indeed does change the meaning of my words. My point about Coach Stoutland is that he will be in year one of facing the best Defensive Conference in the country. That can't mean nothing. He enjoyed drawing upon a history with the other schools in the ACC. I hope that he got better as the years added up. He will not have that history upon which to draw this season -- much like a freshman year if you will. Will he respond and adjust just like Pendry? Maybe, but just the fact that they are different people implies "no". It may not be drasktically different, but it could be enough to make his players guess.

Coach Pendry was really good and had years with his players and against the SEC Defenses. That means something, and will not be easily replaced without some degree of getting up to game speed.

First of all, his bio...

Jeff Stoutland is in his fourth year as the offensive line coach for the Hurricanes. He was named interim head coach on Nov. 28, 2010. As one of the nation's most respected line coaches, his lines at Miami, Michigan State and Syracuse are well known for their outstanding run-blocking.
In 2010, his offensive linemen earned All-ACC weekly honors five times, while the 'Canes have rushed for more than 200 yards in five of Miami's last seven games.

Stoutland coached an offensive line in 2008 that blocked for the Atlantic Coast Conference's third best scoring offense. In 2009, he returned three full-time starters in Outland Trophy and Lombardi candidates Jason Fox and Orlando Franklin, as well as A.J. Trump, who takes over the starting job at center. Junior Joel Figueroa, also has started and saw extensive playing time at guard. Fox earned All-ACC first team honors and was a fourth-round pick of the Detroit Lions. Franklin earned All-ACC honorable mention.

In 2007, Miami ranked third in the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing offense and fourth in sacks allowed.

Stoutland spent seven seasons as the offensive line coach at Michigan State, following three years as an assistant coach at Syracuse and four years at Cornell.

During his tenure at Michigan State, Stoutland helped develop six All-Big Ten selections: guard Shaun Mason (second team, 2000), tackle Steve Stewart (second team, 2003), guard Joe Tate (second team, 2003), tackle Sean Poole (first team, 2004), guard William Whitticker (second team, 2004) and guard Kyle Cook (second team, 2006). In addition, seven of his offensive linemen earned Academic All-Big Ten honors, including Mason (2000), Tate (2001), guard Paul Harker (2002-03), center Chris Morris (2002-03-04-05), tackle Gordon Niebylski (2002-03-04-05), guard Pete Clifford (2004-05) and tackle Mike Gyetvai (2004). In 2005, Morris garnered ESPN Magazine Academic All-America Second-Team honors.

In 2005, the Michigan State line paved the way for the nation's No. 5 offense, the No. 11 pass offense and the No. 20 rush offense. The 2004 Spartans offense ranked second in the Big Ten and No. 10 in the NCAA in rushing, with eight 200-yard rushing games. That line led the Big Ten in fewest sacks allowed (eight). Stoutland's offensive line paved the way for T.J. Duckett, who produced back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2000 and 2001.

Stoutland spent three seasons under Paul Pasqualoni at Syracuse (1997-99), where he coached the tight ends his first two years before taking over the offensive line in 1999. In addition to his coaching duties, he also served as the Orangemen's recruiting coordinator for all three years. Syracuse played in three bowl games in three years. In 1999, he coached First-Team All-Big East offensive tackle Mark Baniewicz, who also earned the National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete Award and GTE Academic All-America honors. During his stint as tight ends coach, Stoutland helped produce two NFL players, including Roland Williams (Oakland Raiders) and Kaseem Sinceno (Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears).
Prior to that, Stoutland spent four years as offensive line coach at Cornell (1993-96), where he guided center Greg Bloedorn to First-Team All-Ivy League honors in 1995, and spent three years with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks (1997-99).
His full-time coaching credits include two stints at his alma mater, Southern Connecticut State, where he served as offensive coordinator for five years (1988-92) and coached inside linebackers for two seasons (1984-85). The New York City native also served as a graduate assistant for Coach Dick MacPherson for two years at Syracuse (1986-87), working primarily with the offensive line. He has coached in six bowl games.
Stoutland was a four-year letterman and three-year starter at inside linebacker for head coach Kevin Gilbride at Southern Connecticut State (1980-84), where he earned Little All-America honors as a senior while acting as team captain. He earned a bachelor's degree in physical education from Southern Connecticut State in 1984 and added a master's degree in exercise physiology from the school in 1986.

He and his wife, Allison, who is a published children's author, have two children: Jake and Madison.


The reports I'm getting on Stoutland are glowing: seriously.

We'll be better this year than last, no doubt.

But, do you see what I'm saying as far as my faith in this guy? Get this...he was a TE coach for awhile and coached under our TE coach. He was a HC for awhile on an interim basis...but still.

 

[TerryP]

Oh, and he's a former linebacker...gotta love that attitude.

 

[UAgrad93]

I watched the guy work Friday and he is UP TEMPO to say the least!! He definitely brings that linebacker mentality to the OL.
