Good news?

Don't know anything about him as a coach.

 

[Jetstream Green]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He once was the runningback coach for the Seahawks (I thought he was a head coach in college too for a division II team like Texas Southern but cannot remember) and he was one of my all time favorite Cardinal players.

Stump is a good position coach.....but he failed miserably as the head coach of the Southern University Jaguars....was just fired a couple months ago...... happy to see him back in Cardinal red though...as a position coach.

yes, he does the position coaching well and that is were we hired him. I know liking a hire too for the fact he was once a great player for your team is a poor reason but it will be so nice to seem him back on the Cardinal sidelines. He could teach Wells a thing or two about toughness. Dude was 185 pounds and played the primary back role and was seldom out of the lineup and produced

He did an amazing job in Casa Grande. Too bad politics of the city ran him out. Word is, he wanted another kid to play QB but parents of the "higher class" chose different. He was sent packing soon after. I love the move. He belongs with the Cardinals org.

I'm probably way more excited about this than I should be, since Stump is my favorite Card of all-time. Still, I think it's an excellent hire. Stump did some great things with the RBs in Seattle and, to a lesser extent, the RBs in Washington. I'm very happy he decided to come back home.

[ANDY440]

Used to see Stump at the games as a fan after he was done playing. Love the Guy

 

[27Veer]

I knew him as a H S Coach and I liked his work ethic and knowledge. He was a terrible play caller but the mechanics he taught were perfect.
