AUBURN, Alabama -- Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder has been named  Auburn's defensive coordinator.


The Falcons confirmed the hiring this afternoon.


He's been with the Falcons for four seasons. He was also linebackers coach with Atlanta and Jacksonville in the NFL. He was Georgia's defensive coordinator from 2001-04 and the head coach at Georgia Southern in 2006. Other coaching stops have included Central Florida and Central Michigan.


VanGorder received the Frank Boyles as college football's assistant coach of the Year in 2003 for his work at Georgia.


He's 52. The Falcons' season ended over the weekend.


Auburn needs a defensive coordinator to replace Ted Roof, who left the team in December. Gene Chizik filled in as defensive coordinator in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Chizik is also looking for an offensive coordinator.

Their defense wasn't all bad considering their offense was throwing them zero bones. 

He did well at Georgia.

I'm mostly excited about him because he's aggressive.  If Ted Roof was a shrug-your-shoulders-get-it-right-next-time-guy, then Van Gorder rubs Ted Roof's face in the dirt while making out with Roof's girlfriend.

He's a good DC. I do not judge any coach's ability by what they do in Atlanta their last year (Petrino, Reeves, Mora, Phillips, Jones). Most leave and do better/great elsewhere.

His D's at UGA were nasty.

Top 10 scoring Defenses in 2002-2004.  That's enough for me right there.  As long as he's not a proponent of the 15 yard cushion on 3rd and 5...

This is the thing.  Maybe he works out ok.  I hope so.  We'll see. 
You would say Atlanta played good defense this weekend?  Overall Atlanta has had a pretty good defense with him at the helm but Christ on a cracker I thought I was watching Neiko try to cover folks yesterday.

I thought the Falcons were like 8th in the NFL on D?  Maybe not?

Anyways, that mustache has so much swag that teams will bend over and submit by the start of the game.  honestly, perception from the national boards is this is a great hire and the UGA fans are even acknowledging as much.  Hoping that recruits think the same.

Heard that he is one hell of a coach, but not a great recruiter.  I think we have enough good recruiters to take up that slack.

So, you'd base the hire on one game, instead of his body of work, which, by the numbers I'm seeing ain't bad?  IOW, who gives a greasy shit what they looked like this weekend?  Christ Sakes, no coach is qualified if all you do is cherry pick one bad performance to judge them on.

In the NFL for him:

2011: 12th Total D, 18th Scoring D
2010: 16th Total D, 5th Scoring D
2009: 21st Total D, 14th Scoring D
2008: 24th Total D, 11th Scoring D

From what I saw of his Time at UGA he looked good, and this, for the NFL, aint bad at all.  As far as I can tell, he's pretty consistent in his defense keeping folks from scoring many points.  If, as some here say, he's aggressive, then I like it that much better.  Hell, even fartbomb said it was a good hire.

I know one thing, those Defensive players had better be ready to hit during practice (no more thud hitting).

Also, it's a telling sign when it's been almost 8 years since he left UGA and the fans still remember what his defenses were like...and respond with posts like "Oh shit, that sucks for us."

UGA's defense hasn't been the same since '04 (it is getting back on track now with Coach Grantham).

I'd like to hear what David Pollack's thoughts are.

Also, I love the date that the announcement is made. War Fuckin' Eagle!!!

Quote
"He's the real deal," said Travis Williams. "That's a bigtime hire."

Williams remembers former Auburn linebacker coachoe Whitt putting on film of the Georgia defense, in particular the linebackers, as an example of how to play.

"I knew about Van Gorder since 2002 when he was at Georgia, and we watched the Boss Bailey's of the world," said Williams. "The way his players played linebacker, we tried to be better than them. He knows his ball, he's the real deal.

"I know one thing, his players will know what they are doing. He's very detailed, he yells, but in a good way. He doesn't let anything slide," said Williams. "You are going to play hard for him. I was on the practice squad my first year, and he always coaching you up. He's a great guy, great coach, he's going to get on the guys."

Very excited about the prospects of improvement under Van Gorder's direction as Coach Chizik again goes yard with a bigtime hire and a name well associated with defense. Linebacker will again be a strongsuit at Auburn.
I have no doubt our leader will fill the OC position with the right choice(s), QB coach included. War Damn Eagle!

What BVG runs?  I have no clue other than 4-3.

Probably because no one thought he'd ever come back to the collegiate level if not for a HC gig.  Also, no one figured Coach Chizik would or could hit a Grand Slam hire for DC.

Apparently BVG and Orange Pants Dooley are BFFs and as early as this morning, one of the Volunthug boards was thinking they were gonna get him as DC.

So pissing off ball lickers and toothless hillbillies all at the same time = a good day.

That is his entire career at Georgia, which was his last CFB DC stop. Not cherry picking.

He was a terrible HC in a failed one year experiment, but I don't see how that's remotely relevant.

He has not been chopped liver at Atlanta, and even if he wasn't the best, we all know NFL coaching success <> college coaching success.

I would say the bottom third in pass defense qualifies as chopped liver and discounting any other time he has as a DC is skewing the data to say the least, but you are right it does not mean he won't get it done in college.  All I know is he had better. His margin of error is pretty slim after all of us being roofied the last couple of years.  I'm glad everyone is so pumped about a DC who had his last overall successful year as DC almost a decade ago.

Nah.  I could give two shits about one game.  I do however give a shit that his his pass defense has never been better than the bottom two thirds of the league. 

Maybe that means very little but it is what caught my eye mainly because I am tired of seeing us defend the pass with our backs turned.

Of course the flip side to this is that if the DL and LB's are good enough the QB cannot throw a pass from the horizontal position.

He is wise in the ways of analysis.

Atlanta has never put much emphasis in trying to build that side of the ball.  They sold their souls for Julio in last years draft when putting points on the board was really not the issue.  I do think Julio is going to wind up being one hell of a pro WR but they would have been better served to trade those picks for proven defensive players.  Save for a couple of guys, the Falmommy parts defense is a bunch of no names.

See I don't know either.  What I do know is that as his boss I would have to evaluate him by how his defense performs.

Run defense A+.

Pass Defense C- maybe D+

Maybe I need to start with the baby steps first.  If he teaches fuckers how to tackle it will be a step closer than we were this past year.

Gonna agree with the counselor here I would say that I am sure he has a voice but it is probably not that loud. Most picks are coming from the scouts and GM.  Some NFL coaches don't even have much input, some have a lot.

NFL is such a totally different beast.  Think about it.  Aside from Free Agency, in a normal draft there are 7 rounds.  Assuming your team only has 1 pick per round that is 7 players a year.  Considering that most 4-7 round picks sometimes don't even make the roster.  That is 1-3 guys you have to hit on.  Ok now college 25 new players each year.

I wouldn't really worry too much about his NFL numbers.  I like what he did at UGA and now he has NFL experience on top of that. Seems win-win to me.

Interesting considering his son is on the Auburn roster. Fisher should just put his son above his own selfish reasoning.

He's been told that many times...but unfortunately he didn't hear it.

Yeah, this would def fulfill my Christmas wishes; take one of the all-time Daeg DC favs and snatch a pretty damn good OC right out of the reach of Captain Hobbit.

I'm hearing that Chiz's #1 choice for OC is also a candidate to be hired by Fisher, and that is the hold up.  Dirk Koetter.
Then whomever you're hearing it from, is wrong....unless Coach Chizik talks directly to them, which I kinda doubt. How do I know this? Because NO ONE knows who Coach Chizik is talking to, much less who his #1 choice is. That's the way it should be. If CGC wants to land the #1 choice on his list, he ain't gonna leak it to anyone.

You seem upset.  My skreetz are well documented to be hearsay, fan speak only.  You have your ego attached to yours.

I don't get upset. I'm simply posting fact. No one knows who Coach Chizik's #1 choice is. At the start of the DC search, my skreets were telling me that Coach Randy Shannon was going to be the DC. All of the "lists of candidates" that people put up were their thoughts on who they think are the possible coaches....Coach Chizik's list is probably completely different.
As for the OC hire, I do think it'll be someone from the NFL & it'll probably go down just like the CBVG hire (behind the scenes)...I think that's the best way to do it, to get who you want (smokescreen, then land the guy you want).

Unless it's fiction?
