Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Nashvegas31]

Agree man. Two of the best coaches in football history hired him as their OC. He knows what he’s doing.

Also college is more jimmy and Joe's vs NFL x and Os. Sark would do very well at TN and imo would be a great addition to Pruitt staff with HC experience and west coast pull

Grab Wright, Gray & Crouch. Then grab Chaney & lets turn our attention to next season. GBO.

So how many many we taking this year? 27?

 

[omghulkhands]

The reason Butch failed was because his inexperience. When things got going he couldn't handle it. Didn't know how to handle elite level athletes. And how quickly we forget, his most successful year was when we had a cagey, boring, veteran calling the plays.

You can get veteran, innovative play callers that have done it at a four year institution. There is plenty of real estate between a dinosaur and an egg.

I think he failed due to his ego. Guy couldn’t be wrong, thought he was smarter than everyone else and didn’t trust people to do their jobs.

He’d take blame in front of the media for losing, but it was all a front. Anytime he was questioned about anything specific he’d defend himself no matter how irrational like an impudent child.

Who do you want? Cmon Invol, time to reveal your answer to deliver us from 14th in offense in the SEC...

I'm with you on Briles. I'm sure there are others that have some experience in D1 or the NFL that would do fine here. If I were paid the kind of money that they are, I can promise you I could find one. Hell, run an ad on Craigslist.

Ok so for OC tell us

Who you want
Who you want us to avoid
Who you think we'll get

For me:
Who you want - Yurcich
Who you want us to avoid - Propst (Osovet but to a lesser extent)
Who you think we'll get - Osovet

I have moral reasons for not hiring a couple guys we’ve heard come up, but other than those issues I’m not going to be upset about anyone we hire.

I’m cool with Friend, Osovet, etc. and don’t think Probst or Yurcich are reasonable.

Ultimately I think we’ll hire a new name.

Ok please lets not make this a CBJ rehash, that isn't the discussion.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The reason I would hate to see Osovet get the job is because of his lack of experience. We don't need another roll of the dice. We need a cagey, veteran schemer and play caller, and recruiter

Added a little to your post...and all that adds up to Sarkisian.

Yea, that's part of the inexperience I was referring too. He never could grasp the "act like you've been there".

i tend to think so, but price was just on swain saying 25. so we'll see

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

i'm not apposed to an internal hire though. osovet would probably do a really good job. optics are what they are, but if you get what you want/need, does it really matter when you get it?

"Optics"...Deer lord I hate that stupid cliche'..

 

[InVOLuntary]

Maybe, we'll see. If you look at Sark's production, it's improved every year, at each stop.

I love how all of you think Sark would be a great recruiter. He hasnt been in the college game for a minute and would basically come after being fired. We don't need an OC to recruit, we need an OC who can score points.

Except this year buddy.

 

[BruinVol]

I don't understand all the fuss. It's not like we signed an entire class of these out of nowhere guys. It's one guy. This staff showed last cycle they can find guys nobody else was paying attention to or knew about. Every class in country is probably going to have a few guys it's fan base wonders why they took them. You just don't want the majority of your class like that

I don't mind the take but who do we get last year that should improve our confidence level in Pruitt taking diamonds in the rough?

 

[rekinhavoc]

What I want in an OC...60 minutes of hell.

 

[Sleegro]

Watch any Falcons games? He is outdated. He sucks. Come @me.

But the Falcons don't have any talent to work with?

Who knows they either were freshmen or redshirted. Cash me outside in 2 years.

I think it's a great asset to have a great recruiter as your OC. But i think its more important that you have an exciting offense that scores points. Do that and recruiting takes care of itself.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I never said Sark. But I think it's extremely risky to hire a guy like Osovet to run your offense. The learning curve is steep. Could he do it? Sure, but the odds are stacked against him. It's an extremely risky hire and I'm not sure Pruitt can afford this risk. IMO.

My problem with Osovet is he is a one note guy...remember when Malzahn was a creative genius..till he wasn't? Osovet needs to learn to be multiple..that's where long term success truly lies nowadays..you have to mix old school and new ideas not abandon either...plus you have to recruit.

 

[bignewt]

But the Falcons don't have any talent to work with?

yeah its bare bones in ATL.

 

[White Bread]

Except this year buddy.

He's also in the NFL. Big difference in an NFL defense and a college defense.

Bro you talk like you know what Osovet knows and doesn't know. Stop.
