Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIV

[BigZiti09]

Not a Kiffin fan at all. Can't stand him personally. But he is an excellent football coach. I can separate the personal flaws from the coaching acumen.

It’s all part of the package.

Scheming up a wide open bomb once every three weeks is nice. Nobody is saying he can’t do the X’s and O’s.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Who were like 5th year seniors and played pretty well for us. Better than 4 of our current starting linemen. That’s for sure.

They were coached up IMO. Was still a patchwork o line.

 

[UTProf]

I'm not a Kiffin fan just calling it like I see it. However his immature personality has landed him where he's at. He could be a really good coach though if he ever grows up. His tweets though shows he hasnt.

^This. Kiffin needs to mature and I'm not sure he ever will. He's the really bright kid who fails in adulthood because despite his talent he can't get himself in order.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Answer me this Kiffin fans...if he's such a good coach why is he currently at FAU? Why is he not even on UF's list?

Give him another couple of years and he'll be back with the big boys IMO

Will Gruden bring back the white jersey orange pants black cleats look? That's what I want to see. I love the Stormtroopers but not every game please.

 

[OnTheWayBack]

I love the greys. They are a reminder of the CBJ era though. I’m ready to put them to rest and do something different.

Gruden should demand all orange uniforms at home & obviously stick with the storm troopers on the road.

I would love to see that blue incorporated in the O&W as an outline or something. just like the way it looks on the Ladyvols uniforms.

 

[MrVolton]

Yeah that's basically how I have it. For Florida though right? Swanson and I were talking about Florida

For us I have it:

1-199: Gruden
200: Patterson
201: Mullen

Realistically speaking. Although if I thought there was any chance of Peterson or Harbaugh I would put them as 201 and 202 respectively.

Grand slam homerun: Gruden, Kelly, Peterson, Patterson
Homerun: Mullen
Triple: Taggart, Frost, or NFL dark horse
Double: Schiano, Morris
Single: Durkin, Brohm, Venables
Foul ball: Anyone else
IMO, JMO

 

[UTProf]

Enough kiffin talk for me.

Do y’all think Gruden will get rid of the grey? I liked it but now it’s a CBJ thing in my eyes. Hope we ditch it and go back to more of a classic look.

I agree with this. Gray should remain for fan gear but let's go back to our classic unis.

Nah

 

[BigZiti09]

Give him another couple of years and he'll be back with the big boys IMO

And he will bang everything that walks, wreck a Lexus, cut corners in recruiting, take kids without any character, do things like have his players change jerseys in a game, etc.

And in a couple of years his employer will fire him in the month of September just like USC and the raiders did.

 

[Nashvegas31]

If I was Kiffin I would be looking at ACC and PAC 12 jobs instead of SEC

 

[Vols4us]

Apparently big time AD's cannot.

Not saying I would hire him as an AD. Wouldn't happen. I just see try to see the value in the job the guy does. He coaches well. He handles the personal relations and communication/compliance side of his job poorly.

This

 

[Orange Studs]

Nah

Not even like in the shoes? :cray:

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I loved the grays. But I'm with Ziti, I'm okay with burying them with the CBJ era.. at least for awhile. Bring them back again in about 15 years and they will be sick.

We overdid it with the alternates to be honest. Classic Butch. Trying to reinvent a perfectly good wheel.

 

[Blake25p]

So is the majority back on the Gruden train? I’m gonna stay off and not worry about it anymore, if we get him outstanding. If not I have confidence we’ll get a very good coach.

I miss the black cleats. I've seen them in practice photos and wondered why in the hell we don't wear them in games. They look awesome with our classic unis.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Wasn't the Auburn game at least a 50/50 game? I know that we lost but I don't think that they were that good that year.

Auburn went 8-5 that year I think. That was an exciting game though. I remember the first offensive play Tennessee ran Nukeese took one 60 yards.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Haha I don't know man. I just can't picture it looking good. I love them classics.

 

[chargervol]

Or in jail for believing the girl when she said she was 18.
To be fair, I'm sure there's big boys in county also.

 

[Orange Studs]

Haha I don't know man. I just can't picture it looking good. I love them classics.

Yea I have to agree with ya. Let's stay with the classic and kick some butts like we use to.

 

[Ron Swanson]

You'll be back on the Grutrain soon enough.

Fair enough.

 

[UTJoe]

Yeah, that breaks down to 10.3 miles.

So Gruden gets paid in miles, and his staff in kilometers?
