Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXII

I think in a 3-4 you would see the coaches stand up Barnett. He's a freak

Doesn't matter because I don't think we make that change. Just fun to talk about.

I personally hate the 3-4, however Barnett standing up (ala Clowney) would be awesome. I'm pretty sure that's how he got the safety against Vandy. Much harder to double team and hold him when he's moving around.

Also just said possibility of Saban to the NFL.

It would be amazing...at least to me...if Bama won the NC and then nearly their entire staff moves on. I can't recall anything remotely like that happening before.

Wonder why Fedora isn't being pursued for some of these openings ?

Would be better if they lose, but yeah, otherwise, I want them to implode so much

OV saying a reliable source has told him UT has contacted Pruitt

whut? not sure to be happy or nervous. he was an issue at UGA

 

[DD4ME]

Can Pruitt run a 4 -3 defense also? He would be an excellent recruiter I just worry about switching scheme completely especially now.

This this this

UNC's schedule is extremely easy this year and they lost to a terrible USC team. I could definitely see Fedora wanting out of Chapel Hill, though.

Agreed. We do have the athletes to play edge in the 3-4.

Smith, Barnett, Taylor, Vereen

 

[volatil]

He was on Sports Center. I'm sure they will show it again.

Colts and a few other programs mentioned.

Does Derek Dooley work for Georgia Tech?

Maybe, but switching at this point seems like disaster recipe.

Oh 100% agree. This isn't the year to change philosophy.

I love this Gif. It accurately describes most VN posters when something big happens.

And Houston's schedule was filled with juggernauts?

Herman being OC for Ohio State is pretty impressive. Fedora has been fairly mediocre at UNC until this year, but he hasn't really beaten anyone.

It is sort of surprising that his name isn't really coming up for any job opening, though. Especially with UNC potentially getting hammered in the near future by the NCAA.

HG, good hire?

I think this season went about like the Vandy game. The offense was better than expected. At times, it even looked elite.

The defense was a little disappointing. Not bad, just not as good as I'd hoped. The secondary wasn't as good as I'd thought. The linebackers disappeared at times. The d-line didn't get the consistent push I expected. That said, they raised up and took care of business in the second half. They finally made some adjustments that took a play or two too long to make.

Again, the Vandy game felt a lot like the rest of the season.

I don't think the loss of Gaulden can be overstated in the early losses. Foreman looked much better later in the year, but Gaulden was looking that good or better before he got hurt. This is a big if, but I think we beat UF and Okie with a healthy Gaulden.

I just don't see CBJ changing his defensive scheme the year they will be making a run at the SEC Championship game.

 

[JacketVol]

If Bama were to win the title this year, I could see Saban riding off into the sunset. Maybe doing a little TV.

He will need a big seat cushion.

 

[volfanCLT]

DJ Durkin is the new Maryland HC.

I like it. Coached under Urban and Harbaugh. Good recruiter, young and fiery guy.

 

[zhangliao04]

I will believe the "Saban leaving..." rumors when I see it. Been talked about for years.

We might hear his name pop up after their game this weekend. Gets blown out in that one, then suddenly he's a candidate for half of these jobs out here.

 

[MetalVolunteer]

I don't want to loose Strip or Thig. Period. Also, don't want Barnett standing, he needs his hand in the dirt. That's the type of player he is. Need to stay with the 4-3, cause thats what we have recruited for. 3-4 needs bigger LBs and bigger DE's.

 

[JCP201]

Is Butch getting rid of Jancek? I have liked the defensive play as of late.

I hope not. I get the impression that Pruitt is a troublemaker.
