Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

CFA got moved back too?

He warmed up with them vs Bama

 

[butchna]

Certainly possible. I was never impressed with him or his units when he was an assistant coach up here at Cincinnati. He was definitely the most concerning hire for me out of all Pruitt's assistants.

The TE’s and special teams didn’t knock you out of the water in that ONE season? Brohm must not have concurred bumping him up to OC at Western Kentucky.

 

[butchna]

Maybe Austin Price actually gets real inside info and doesn't just make things up for "clicks". Hmmm

Or maybe he guesses and sometimes it works out right? If the move sticks.

 

[HankHill]

Hopefully he’ll look like a million dollar OC against lesser defenses the next 5 weeks.

ANd whenever we get some more donkeys on offense

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Gotta be Brohm. But IMO Brohm can parlay this into a better job than L’ville. Not sure Kiffin can. Come to think of it this is perfect for Kiffin.

(Whiplash)

I'm not so sure that isn't Brohm's dream job though, even though it's Louisville. Would have been awesome if we could have gotten him here. Really solid coach and an even better guy.

 

[butchna]

At this point you can’t really say if he’s much or any better than Debord or Bajakian were (especially if you look at consider how much lower their salaries were).


I kind of think Helton’s agent did him a bit of a disservice with his salary. $1.2 million comes with some big expectations for a coordinator. Compound that with the fact that this is his first job as OC/playcaller and it just seems like a recipe for fan/media criticism and skepticism.

When an agent gets you a million plus per contract? It’s not a “disservice”.

 

[scvolfan7]

The fact that Banks ASKED to move to LB is exciting enough for me. Huge development....

Ball player that wants to win. When we get a roster full of those guys

 

[Chief Vol 13]

I think they’re closer to Tennessee, South Carolina, Missouri and Vanderbilt than the top 15 ranking they have.

I could be wrong. We’ll know in a month.

I think I'm with you on Kentucky. If you stop their running attack, you win. They only completed three passes last week.

 

[tomq_123]

Would love to get Freeze as our OC after this year.

Not sure if Helton makes it to a 2nd season here. Would bet this is the most likely staff change after the season is done.

Basilio’s “Orange Throat” hinted at Helton being out at the end of the year, and being replaced with Freeze. Take that for what it’s worth. Still think Freeze would be awesome at OC, and if we want to win at the highest levels it’s what we need to do. Freeze at OC with Pruitt/Sherrer defense is a winning combination.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Wonder if they'll move Fant back to RB.

It doesn't matter either way

I still haven't figured out why they had to shell out that kind of money to get him. I'm not sure either way on him yet, but it does look like they overpaid him by a hefty margin. Give me Hugh baby and get out the way.

 

[engineerVOL]

Yep. Fant won’t play meaningful snaps here

 

[engineerVOL]

Petrino’s buyout goes UP not down next year.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

I think it’s more new players adjusting to a new system. Better players tend to pick it up faster. Freeze became a genius after he bought that top 5 class...it is what it is.

He was getting stuff done on offense before they leased the players.

Pretty sure Pruitt told Fulmer in the interview process that he thought he could bring Hugh Freeze with him. SEC shot it down. I'd make that trade in a heart beat, and I won't be surprised if Pruitt would too if the conference will allow it.

 

[volsagain]

I think it's impossible to judge what he can do until the line is fixed.

It's hard to tell if the QB is calling for the right protection and the many switching oline.

 

[butchna]

Right, I remember that. I just wonder if there was someone else working over Currie’s head on Brohm.

Rumor was that Beverly nixed a detail and that tanked it...never confirmed.

 

[chavisut]

RB big need

 

[volfanCLT]

RB big need

Beasley and Gray

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Rumor was that Beverly nixed a detail and that tanked it...never confirmed.

Why she had any say whatsoever regarding our search for a head football coach I'll never understand. Somebody should have told her to focus on school, the men are talking.

 

[VFL23]

Sounds like Banks knows how to lay the wood.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Or maybe he guesses and sometimes it works out right? If the move sticks.

You’re an interesting person butchna.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I don't think Helton has been all that bad. I think it's hard to call plays when your o-line can't run block so you're pretty much stuck on what to call.

 

[RikidyBones]

Not great.

I don’t think South Carolina is particularly good, but we have no consistent means of putting points on the board. Auburn was a fluke in that our Hail Mary passes worked and Kevin Steele, who could’ve been our head coach, didn’t adjust and play a zone to take some of that away.

At some point you have to be able to consistently get 3 yards running the football and we’ve proven we can’t do it.

we didnt throw a single hail Mary.

 

[butchna]

You’re an interesting person butchna.

Been called worse...and recently.
