Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLII

[Kingston Vol]

Geoff Collins before that. He went to Florida with McElwain.

Dan can hire the coaches. Mississippi State can't keep them.

Billy Gonzalez would come with him in some capacity. It seems like he's been on our radar a handful of times.

 

[BigZiti09]

People keep talking about Mullen hiring a good staff, but aren't his guys developing beyond potential right now?

There are some good coaches on his staff right now. Get a couple cruiters and go.


But none of this matters cause Gruden.

That's true. He probably has a pretty good staff right now. It's just hard to keep the best coaches there. He's lost 3 DC's to better jobs.

Dan would need to bring his best coaches and replace the ones that he felt he needed to upgrade.

Manny Diaz went to Miami with Richt

Peter Sirmon went to Louisville

Lost Diaz and Collins due to money and promos. He traded Sirmon for Grantham basically to get Sirmon sry azz out

WRs could use his coaching

 

[amazingGRACE]

Dat depth class tho

Blew my mind how so many people defended that with the insane excuse of "This class won't be as highly rated because he's focusing on depth & not immediate difference makers"

Lulz

So he pulls the trigger on incompetence?


I’m sold

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I’ve sold my stock on Richmond man.

I haven’t. We have had 2 horrible OL coaches. He may not be a left tackle, but he was a five star for a reason. Put him at RT or guard and let’s see what he can do

 

[jave36]

You’re way behind bud. That was like 3 weeks ago.

Serious? Dang, I've been looking for that one too.

 

[BJHSVol]

Can someone give me a rundown of some coaches that have worked for DM? Didn't he lose two defense coordinators?

This talk about his recruiting is crazy to me. He will recruit really well here especially if he hires a good staff which is nearly impossible at Miss State. Dan Mullen has been in this league for over a decade and knows what it takes.

CBJ recruited well here but we never got to see him reach his peak as a recruiter because he **** the bed on the field and never got to 10 wins like he should have.

He lost Geoff Collins to FL and he's now the head coach at temple and Manny Diaz whos now at Miami but I think he had 1 stop inbetween

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I'll switch jig heads.

That shakey Head gets em every time

 

[VolGee4]

Manny Diaz went to Miami with Richt

Peter Sirmon went to Louisville

I believe Diaz had two stints and left for Texas the first time. He also had Geoff Collins at one point.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Serious? Dang, I've been looking for that one too.

He was one of the first names mentioned this time around. I don’t know if it was ever mentioned in here though only over there and was more of a “this will be one of the first names Gruden will go after” type comment.

 

[JacketVol]

People seem to believe that money is the silver bullet. Throw enough money at someone and he'll come running to somewhere he really doesn't want to be... or be persuaded to do something he really doesn't want to do. Sometimes, people are happy where they are doing what they're doing for the people they're already doing it for.

Money is neither the problem nor the solution. I think we'll hire someone who wants to coach college football at the University of Tennessee. And some of those names at the top of some of those lists don't want to do one or both of those things.

I know a D1 basketball coach and he said you better make the most money you can as quickly as you can because a coaching career only last so long normally.

Yeah Diaz was Mullens 1st DC at MS St I believe. Got hired on at TX. Struggled with the new BIG 12 style at the time. Went back to Ms St when Collins went to Florida and showed he still has it then Richt grabbed him.

 

[highspeed]

McBride was 1-8 passing and JG led us to the only semi-legit TD drive in the whole game. I think you're crazy.

McBride was also the victim of a couple of dropped passes and near misses.

Frankly, watching Guarantano has been rough for me. He just doesn't seem to have a good feel for the position. He doesn't feel the rush coming, and when he does take off and run, he lacks vision and patience.

Based on an admittedly small sample size against a crappy team, McBride just looked like a more instinctual QB to me.

Apparently except for his OL coach. If the rumors are to be believed, they're good friends and even though the OL had a tendency to underperform, he has continued to keep him around.

Oh lort

 

[Nashvegas31]

Interesting stat in radio, TCU has only given up a TD in 3 of their last 16 qtrs. They have played Kansas St, Kansas, Iowa St and TX in that run. Imoressive for a Big 12 defense

Needs to be a guard and trey a LT

i couldn't name you a RB he has had either which is probably would be my top concern with his offense. It's probably why he QBs always have 30/20 passing rushing TDs

 

[jjay2518]

Oh lort

I know I've seen people say that that's a common sentiment among MSU fans. No idea how true it is though.

Last two games JG has a 155 QB rating and completed 75 percent of his passes. Still has a lot of growing to do. Getting live bullets is helping with that. Should've started game 1.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Trey probably is our best option at LT. But dang, hate losing him at guard. He just mauled guys and we could run right behind him. We need 4 more of him

 

[mr.checkerboards]

At this point I'm hoping we get Mullen so,when,he falls flat on his face I can say told y'all so

He’s just a freshman getting his first game experience. He’s improving with each game. His offensive doesn’t help him at all either
