I'm sure he left those off by accident, save the conclusion jumping. "some of the main names left on the board include"

Maybe, but add that to Farrell earlier , the Clemson writer yesterday, and all the CB flips last weekend, I would say Crouch to UT is the worst kept secret in recruiting right now.

Why people would turn their nose up at sark is crazy. But then again people on here turned their nose up to jimbo and Mullen too during the HC search.

Hank, haven't been following past few days, has Sark been named as a legit candidate or just general discussion on the board?

Thanks... interesting though... He doesn't seem like the kind of guy at this point in the recruiting season to get sloppy and leave out some big names by accident, unless he was in a hurry to make a statement...

No Crouch or Haselwood?

Well, yeah, they’re still on the board, but both are early enrollees and potentially could sign even this week and just keep it quiet until they announce on Jan. 5. So by the time coaches go back on the road, they’ll be off the board either way.

The guys I listed above all are planning to sign in February.

Good people don't like seeing a good guy that actually does something besides piss on people get torn down. Your "cultist" insult is just another prick picking a fight.

The guy I responded to wasn't "tearing down" anyone. He was asking nicely about AV's accuracy, and someone jumped all over him. Just like you jumped on me above for pointing out how absurd (i.e., cult-like) that is. I have no problem with AV or what he posts, but if your position is that he is immune from any comment whatsoever about the accuracy of what he posts, well, that sounds pretty cult-like to me.

Looking ahead, what class of '20 blue chippers do we feel good about? We got a couple good ones this year but I'd hope our overall class will be better next year. I think that could be Pruitts year to make a splash on the trail. Gotta be top 5 if we want to create enough buzz to stand toe to toe with bama and uga.

Tell Bruin, he was touting Sark's Husky W/L turn around.

I'm also looking at it objectively and Sark is going to give us more of the same. I don't want the same. Do you?

I'm not sure you can take that leap of more of the same. Let's face it, being an offensive coordinator isn't rocket surgery. You want to exploit the opponents weaknesses and disguise/cover up yours. You want to put the ball in your play makers hands hopefully with some room to operate. Any offensive coordinator worth his weight in sawdust should be able to scheme to scheme and call plays based on what the defense is giving him. The good offensive coordinators are the best at identifying tendencies of a defense and exploiting those tendencies. The good offensive coordinators are able to adjust on the fly when the defense adjust. It's a punch counter punch type of deal. The ability to do that comes with experience, IMO.

Meh experience is over rated, You said it, it isn't rocket surgery, you either got the gift or you don't. Bruin can throw numbers at me all day but I watch the guy call games. I'm just not impressed.

Sark would be fine. He would bring some value that the program may benefit from.

I'm much more intrigued by the Osovet system though. Just feel like Pruitt saw something in him. He could be a breath of fresh air and potentially give us an edge schematically over our opponents that Sark wouldn't.

That's all hypothetical though. And I get not wanting to put faith there. We haven't seen it work at this level. It might work wonders though. I keep thinking about Joe Moorehead and the gamble James Franklin took on him. He was an older, experienced coach, but from a lower level similar to Osovet. Made Franklin look like a genius and it saved his job and resurrected that program.

If you can coach you can coach. Pruitt has had a full year to evaluate Osovet up close. If he's the choice, I'm all in. There's lots of ways to play this and be successful. I just want to score lots and lots of points.

I wouldn't mind Sark but I don't think he's been good since leaving USC in 2015. And I get the hesitation with osevet but I think he'd be a good hire.

I don't think anybody we hire is going to run off guard on first down 80% of the time..unless it is working..you are basing your desire off of Heltons incompetence.
