Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXII

[chavisut]

You wait and see if something else better opens up. I wouldn't leave Miss. State for either of those schools.

I would jump on SCe over State.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I would jump on SCe over State.

I would agree that SC >>> State but I'm not sure it's that much better to make a change. I think he could do better.

I think USCe is a better job, but not worth moving on.

 

[ATC_VOL]

I knew they were but aren't hosting a playoff game so I didn't know how that would effect things.

It's one of the New Years 6, I believe they call it. In years it doesn't host a playoff game, it will still be a matchup the playoff committee sets up between at large teams.

yeah this

Bet UF lands at Peach

No chance. Fsu will end up there.

Well OK. Brick by brick slow bamboo growth progress. Its the coaches' ideal. And we are seeing it in ultra high definition. What a group of play makers on the Tennessee team. Of course there were too many close losses. Football is a little bit different than basketball where one can just quickly plug in talent and make a run. There is more of a learning curve around what it takes to win. The Vols are definitely on that curve. I attribute the losses to development on the o-line and in the secondary much more than to play calling. But these position groups are coming along too. Here we go: bowl game, recruiting close, spring practice, off season challenges and bingo August is here before you know it in what seems like a gazillion years.

 

[RikidyBones]

If I'm les, I'm finding another job ASAP and letting the AD have it on the way out.

And tha AD makes some of our recent ADs Look ok

I said this to my wife earlier this week when everything was getting out. I would have made sure that was my last game for lsu no matter what. That was an atrociously botched PR.

 

[jspvol76]

I hope he is not trying to justify keeping him. He failed miserably as a position coach.

Josh Smith though.

 

[volfanCLT]

Josh Smith though.

Our best WR this year

 

[volfanCLT]

Think our special teams should be just as good next year. Berry back there returning kicks and Sutton/Kamara bringing back punts

From Larry:
As many as half the staff could change over this off season

 

[unioncityvol]

So which BI0 team to Capital One? MSU to playoff. Iowa to Rose. OSU probably Sugar? So that leaves Michigan maybe vs Florida. Vols vs Wisconsin in Outback?

Boom imo. Butch will be upgrading knowing next year he better win or this fan base and media will implode.

Well, this could be a fun offseason.

Thanks, wasn't sure how that worked.

SOB. That much turnover worries me.

 

[NMVol]

SOB. That much turnover worries me.

It is a bit perplexing if it happens. Not sure the "sinking ship" argument holds here though.

 

[volfanCLT]

Read that as worst case, it's half the staff.

Think 2-3 changes wouldn't be too much to overcome, especially if it's who we think it will be seeking work elsewhere.

Well...that's not good.

CZA? Mahoney? Thig?

That's too much turnover if true.

 

[unioncityvol]

Maybe Butch said EB is going to RB and Martinez quit. Kidding but EB to RB plz. Even the Bobs are aware of that I'm sure.

 

[MockingVol]

As long as Stripling, O&D Coordinators, Gillispie, and probably Elder are kept I'm cool.

I would prefer it if we could lose Azzani for Tee and maybe Mahoney so that Debord could be OC/OL and then we could hire a full time QB coach.

I don't really think we have anyone that is irreplaceable on our staff, but I'd like to keep the Defensive staff's nucleus going forward so we don't see scheme change. You know how much that can hurt a team.

Fair, Manning, Tee, and Gruden it's time to come home.

Debord OC
Mahoney OL
Azzani WR
Gillespi RB
Elder TE/ST

Jancek DC
Strip DL
Thig LB
Martinez DB

If we lose half, that would be 4 ish.

If you take the ones mentioned frequently, Azzani, Mahoney, Thig, who else you got?
