Dumbo's first DB coach when aggy hired him.

Expand  

He left a head coaching job at Buffalo (not sure what is expected at Buffalo; he was 14-23 through 3 years and may have been a bad year away from being shown the door) to be the Bama DB coach.

OK.  So we know it won't be any of those dudes.

What in the actual fuck. No. Fuck no. 
 

I guess we are not planning on any zone defense because god help us if Akina tried to teach our corners anything other than man.

I guess with the new coaching rules, if they wanted they could just let Akina coach ball and Orphey could recruit the secondary and get another assistant (Clark?) on the road?

Texas had 3 coaches in the secondary last year. I don’t remember Hazelton ever hitting the road. This may make sense if you view it in that light. Sark had hired the second of 3 secondary coaches. The next one will have more recruiting chops. That is all I got

I played on an IM football team with him a couple of times. I don’t recall ever speaking to him the whole time.  But, I seem to recall him not appreciating me showing up to our games drunk.

Akina is a hilarious surprise. Very unlike Sark. I guess Nansen must have been a big advocate?

Don't forget Sark hired Akina as an analyst last year but he got a DC role at Arizona and immediately went back

Reunited and it feels so good. 

This is the funniest hire since the Mike Stopps meltdown, but in a much different way. I’m trying to think of an analogy, but can’t. Too damn funny but a little disappointed that Jerry Gray isn’t involved.

I mean... The dude can coach. If you want to maximize a two year championship window and mentor our young CB coach it's not a terrible hire.

Expand  

He never could coach zone worth a shit. And our pass defense under him typically the sum was not as good as the parts.  Hate this hire.

Akina is a decent hire, but we probably could have done better. It is great to have a guy who can speak to the great DB history of Texas on staff though. We lost that with Gideon, now, we have the guy who helped coach him up.

Oh thank god, I was worried we’d have to wait hours for the “what about Akina” post

Come on, at least Park Gothic is trolling.

It's when Bevo shows up and wants to talk about the time he and Akina, who used to be drinking buddies don'tyaknow, ended up half naked on someone's farm wrestling pigs, and Bevo knew then seeing how Akina kept that pig in front of him that he wasn an elite DB coach, and he should be welcome back in Texas at any time becuase Bevo believes in Affirmative Action for olds like himself.

Lol at Sark trolling you guys.
