Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

Nick Saban is such an unbelievable coach that people think he should go undefeated every year

He has 20 losses in 12 seasons, 6 came in first season, 5 national titles, playing for a sixth, tied with most national titles by any HC in history, and he did it in the most competitive era.

Thank God he won’t coach 38 seasons like Bear

Imagine if Saban never left for the NFL back in the day and had all this success at LSU. It would be wild to think how things for us might have been different without having to face Saban every year at bama.

Who was the poster?

govolsgo, thread titled "new oc"

If he's right we should hear something today.

He’s on that same pedestal for the media and committees. UCF went undefeated for 2 regular seasons and still couldn’t get in the playoff. Bama loses to a team that lost the conference championship game and made the playoffs. Same goes for Urban. I was honestly shocked they weren’t put in the playoff this year. But I guess when the choice is a team that lost to Purdue or a team that lost to Texas and is led by the heisman winner they couldn’t put them in over the 4th undefeated team without being blatant about their favoritism so they just went with OU.

Just because you were undefeated in a crappy conference doesnt mean you are better than OU or OSU

Same poster saying Chaney?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Same poster saying Chaney?

Yes. He made that thread last night saying it's a done deal, Cheney is coming to UT. He's the same guy that made a thread and broke the news Jancek was going to be fired. Really hope he goes 2 for 2 on these...

 

[BearCat204]

I mean I already said today was the day.............................check my stats bruhs

 

[SweetasSoda]

Today is the day folk. I heard it thru the grapevine.

Shouldn't you say the time is now?

UGA has had 2 straight yrs of two 1000 yd RBs. Chaney makes a lot of sense for what Pruitt wants in a power run game with ability to throw the ball around. He also doesn't have issue with fitting into a incumbent staff.

Just ready for it to be over and see who he actually wants

 

[drylo]

If Fromm doesn’t miss 10 wide open throws.... I’ve got UGA

Ifs, buts, candy, nuts.

What’s Georgia, 1-3 vs decent teams this year (giving Florida the benefit of the doubt)?

My (likely unpopular) opinion of Chaney: Brilliant offensive mind, schemer, and developer of talent.... mediocre to poor play caller.

His play calling was maddening during the Dooley era. We had a very explosive offense. We could score points. But, his play calling just wasn't conducive to complementary (winning) football. Our D was so bad. But we had so many drives that went 1st down: Chuck it deep, 2nd Down: Chuck it deep, 3rd Down: Chuck it deep, 4th Down: Punt. Our Swiss Cheese Sal D needed a rest and to be off the field as much as possible in order to win games. We had good running backs. But we were a pass first offense with hardly any rhythm.

His play calling style -- which is very very aggressive -- could hardly be considered a good match for Pruitt's ball control personality.

 

[HankHill]

Did Chaney offer much recruiting wise while he was here?

 

[Nashvegas31]

Looks like big 12 style offense would fit just fine in this conference

 

[Sleegro]

That @Sleegro ?

Haha nah.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Did Chaney offer much recruiting wise while he was here?

No

 

[Kingston Vol]

Did Chaney offer much recruiting wise while he was here?

I vaguely remember people thinking he was a negative on that front. But the staff he was on didn’t have a ton of ace recruiters anyway.

Georgia was #2 in the SEC in time of possession. That seems to directly refute your position here.

It would have been great to have the Oklahoma State OC. That is an interesting stat, though (Big 12 vs. SEC)

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

I'm not big on Chaney. No pun intended. He just isn't that great of a play caller.

 

[Wickman]

We know what we are getting in Chaney and he could only get us so far. He’d be fine for now but to get us over the various humps that we are attempting, we would need someone else.

That's a good stat. Perhaps the leopard has changed his spots? I'm judging based on what we saw when he was here, and especially the debacle of 2012. He was anything but ball control while he was here.

But Pruitt has not seemed to be going after ball control OCs.

Embrace Will Friend, all of these “misses” are preparing you for the inevitable. It’s coming just like ear hair and constipation

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Im already laughing out of sadness at the idea of after ~2 months we see a BREAKING NEWS: Will Friend promoted to OC tweet.
