Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

You win.

Congrats you aren't smart enough to understand being a position coach at the power 5 level is a very important part of the resume piece for a cordinator at this level.

Enjoy your victory lap

And Urban Meyer was never a position coach at a Power 5 school before being hired as the Head Coach at Florida.

Utah was in the Mountain West when Urbs was there.

He was a Grad Assistant at Ohio St.

Granted, he was a WR coach at Norte Dame, but they aren't a P5 school...at least not in football.

So, your point is moot. Being a position coach at a P5 school is not always an important part of a resume.

But hey, you're like my teenager...will argue anything.

 

[MrVolton]

Only one way to go once you hit the bottom

Ain’t that the sad truth.

ND might as well be a P5 team, and he said coordinator. Meyer was a HC and hired as a Hc so that’s kinda different

This is how I think Pruitt rebuilds with a power D and heavy rush. No different with UA when Saban arrived to deal with Meyer and others in the league. If the other team can not score they can not beat you. It may not be flashy on offense but 10-7 is a win all day. Plus yeah Freeze is great at spread and fast scoring offenses that light up the score board but if you do not have depth on the defensive side of the ball you will get just as many and probably more put up against you. Until UT builds up depth on D you want to control the clock and slow the game down. Not turn it into a race.

And be the same ole boring sh** we have watched for the last 5-10 years.

So what are the options?

Its quite amusing to see posters talking about the reputation of Freeze and acting like we are above taking him. 10 years ago I would have agreed with them but after this decade of misery we have just witnessed I say go for it. What exactly do we have to lose at this point.... Our stellar reputation? Look at Bruce Pearl. Auburn snatched him up and didn't skip a beat. When is the last time you heard the media get down on him? You know why? Because they are winning and that **** right there solves everything.

Jayhawks won't give him up.

 

[butchna]

Congrats!

You and Vandy are winners

Congrats on your winning philosophy that Sal Sunseri being an outstanding position coach qualified him to be an outstanding DC whilst Chad Morris spent the first 15 years of his career coaching HIGH SCHOOL (one step above JUCO, huh playa?)...one season at Tulsa before laying the offensive framework at Clemson that has helped establish them as a power...lol. Let that truth gently drip onto your simple sloping forehead...lol.








lol

Feldman tweeted what he did. I’ve learned those guys are right more often than not on some of these things. I hope it is freeze but I’m not going to get any hopes up

Feldman had more inroads with Butch because he believed that Feldman was an ally.

I don't think JP shares info with his own staff.

I'm not saying he's wrong but I don't think there's a national writer with good info from JP just yet...everyone is using second hand info, IMO.

 

[BigOrange15]

It's not going to be Freeze. For numerous reasons.

One of which is we dont like winning. This entire university is full of pussies.

 

[UT = Checkmate]

These are what i for sure know:

-Freeze really wants the job.
-Pruitt has interest in hiring him.
-A couple “power players” are hesitant about his past and what SEC/NCAA/Media could say about it.
-early signing day is coming up and freeze isn’t busy and can be on the road recruiting ASAP, no buy out etc.

I feel comfortable enough in saying i believe Freeze will be on campus at some point this week and meet with who he needs to do to try and “prove he’s ready for a shot” per say.

Stop reading the ride goes back down

lol, too late.

lol, too late.

Got me too brother they got me too

 

[NMVol]

He doesn't really come off like a guy that wants the spotlight. So that could be true

I suppose is not outside the range of what's possible and it certainly would change the tenor of hiring for the job.

Edit: so if Friend is passed over does he get the title of associate head coach?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Titans up 10-0....6 minutes in!

God they are frustrating because you never know what you will get.

Annnnnnd that bill came due

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Did the coaches or players get the trophy from the auburn and Kentucky games? Asking for a friend.

Butch woulda been passing out rings and certificates

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Marker says sounds like friend

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I’m just going to get ahead of the curve and am all ready upset with the OC hire. Played it way too safe. Really had a golden opportunity to upgrade from something that wasn’t working out without paying a buyout, and this is what we come up with?

[nicksjuzunk]

I’m not trying to get everyone hopes up but for a guy like Freeze to be wanting the job and his name already gotten around to some of the decision makers in and around UT/SEC then you would have to think their would be a formal interview/meeting whatever you want to call it.
