Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXVI

[millst987]

I like the idea of Atlanta.

 

[HankHill]

He inherited a well-stocked, Saban led, national championship team, and Saban had not yet built his juggernaught at Bama. I think Butch could match Les in that situation.

This is such an overrated view. They're so many examples of great coaches being replaced and the ship quickly sinking.

Lloyd Carr - rich rod
Pete carrol - kiffin.
Meyer - muschamp
Mack brown - Charlie strong

The right guy has to take over or in no time things go south.

So do I. I really like beer at a game

 

[Orange Studs]

Out of the gate, I think Currie refused any talk of a deal that would have sent UT to Gainesville 2 years in a row.

Playing in Atlanta means we would still have to play them twice in UF? serious question.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

He was Larry Coker. Are you arguing otherwise?

I'm arguing that Les Miles was a very good football coach. You don't win a national title, play for another, and win two SEC championships without being a top level coach. Doesn't happen by happenstance. Everybody on this board craps all over every coach out there besides Saban. People nitpick Urban, they think Kirby and McElwain are garbage, so on and so forth. But if someone speaks negatively of Butch it's unacceptable.

 

[orangefreak21]

He could have. What has Butch done here besides recruit on an elite level, as did Les, to make you think that though? I'd like to think Butch could have but he just hasn't proven to this point that he's on that level.

Les recruited at a high level with in state talent at a high level. And even lost many in state, Louisiana, players to Saban. If we're talking recruiting.

He never out coached a sole and had the most players taken in the NFL draft through his years. And still lost 13-10 every damn big game. Stop.

No. Neutral does not mean we lose the home game next year

That's what I thought. Maybe I missed read his post.

You guys are acting like les miles was a wooden Indian on the sidelines.

We'll win the game this year and next year 😀

Most of those had already started declining. If not all.

TROOFl

Saban took over his program like every other SEC one. No more easy LA recruits.

I am smelling where your stepping. :rock:

It's volnation everyone sucks because they aren't perfect. They would crucify Peyton if he was coach here and had a bad game calling plays

Hank, from the top rope. Talk some sense into these people.

Something about those rings make coaches let up on recruiting trails.

See Phil Fulmer

 

[Smokey123]

I don't under stand why some want Les. He's clearly at the end of his career and got fired for underachieving. If we do fire Butch, I'd rather hire a guy that has a chance of being here for a long time, than a guy who's career is almost over. Great coach once, but not so much anymore. The ONLY way I would be for it is if we brought a great OC or DC that takes over in 2/3 years......... Tee Martin?

 

[Smokey123]

Joking about Martin btw. I don't see him leaving USC for the same position

 

[jordan4vols]

I hate that when we win we get to still hear how we haven't won in the swamp since 03

Yep. Even UF with Meyer had started heading downhill, especially in the locker room.

Do. Not. Care.

 

[orangefreak21]

He got fired for player development. Particularly offense.

He couldn't win with his QB or develop any kind of QB. No matter who was hired under him.

His in state recruitment had him winning games with athletes all over the field. That got drafted.

Coker is top level?
