People seem to be sleeping on Mike Kafka as a candidate

Thanks for making this a thread. It’s a great read. 

Something I like is that he doesn’t carry a lot of extra. Checking out interviews and mic’d up bits, you’ll see he doesn’t have this rah-rah personality or come across either overly tough nosed, some specialty program creator, or trying to act like some grand offensive chess wizard. The article backs this up, just seems like a smart and get sh*t done type. No extra. 

Just very even keel, sound, and seems to carry himself in a way that seems much more seasoned and a guy who simply loves coaching and scheming. Not trying to self market or fluff or give off a certain bravado. The anti-Rhule.

very short resume’ where he was insulated by some of the best offensive minds in football. 
 

not really confident in him tbh

The best coaches come from the best coaching trees and teams.  What's the problem?

Growl its time for you to board the Kafka train

Want some literary irony?  Franz Kafka was a German-speaking Bohemian writer who is famous for his novella, "The Metamorphosis."  Metamorphosis means to transition from immaturity to maturity. 

I used to teach English Lit back in the day. 

Discuss.

Didn't he also direct "It's a wonderful Life"? 😐

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
