Bumpas DC from TCU
2004 first year at TCU - 28th in the country in rush D
2005 - 12th in country in scoring D
2006 - 5th in the country in scoring D
2007 - 16th in the country in scoring D
2008 - 2nd in the country in scoring D
2009 - 6th in the country in scoring D
2010 - 1st in the country in scoring D
2011 - dealing with the same situation Roof dealt with this year at Auburn having to play freshmen and sophomores all over with only 4 starters returning just like Auburn...currently 36th in the country in scoring D(Now THAT'S how a young defense should perform under good coaching).
other accolades:
*finalist each of the last three seasons for the Frank Broyles Award
*coached Tejay Johnson who one of three finalists for the 2010 Jim Thorpe Award, recognizing the nation's top defensive back.
*mentored defensive end Jerry Hughes into being a two-time consensus All-American and the 2009 recipient of the Ted Hendricks Award and Lott Trophy. Hughes, who had never played on defense until arriving at TCU, was also a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award.
*mentored 1990 Lombardi Award winner Chris Zorich.
*many of his players made all American teams throughout his 30 year career
He's a native from Arkansas where he graduated. He's coached at Arkansas, Tennessee, service academies, Notre Dame etc.
Currently he would be a steal as Gary Patterson only makes 1.8 mil a year at TCU as head coach. No doubt Bumpas makes much less, probably around 300-400k at most.
