Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[HankHill]

Agreed we have no idea what he's thinking about Lebby but it does appear obvious to me he doesn't want to hire friend. Perhaps I am
Wrong but it seems clear to me

I think if he really wanted to promote from within it would’ve been done already.

I’m not impressed by coaching RBs for 5 years and being the OC for a HS team

Working with someone that is good at offense isn’t a selling point for me

What makes Friend more qualified than Lebby?

 

[jakez4ut]

Mumme and Briles systems are a lot different. Briles, and Lebby, are known for running right up the middle out of the spread and have prolific rushing offenses supplemented with air raid passing concepts. Mumme was pure air raid with little commitment to the run.

yep. i think it's definitely the rushing attack that has peaked my interest. honestly, i didn't realize they ran the ball that much. some of htat at baylor was due to RGIII and using the QB in the run game. but you don't compile those kinds of rushing yards w/out commtting to running the ball, one way or the other.

i for one am really on board with the idea of having an attacking offense that will stress a defense, in multiple ways. one that creates mis matches.....how nice would it be to see a slot WR matched against a LB? or a RB on a DB? or a TE on an ILB.....and know the defense has NO CHOICE but to put that guy in a bad spot and just hope we can't hit it.

get the right players in that offense, and it could totally work. we need more speed still. but you've got some pieces already here that could be part of something like that.

I think the offensive coaches he's targeted and hired in the past give a strong indication that he is pretty forward thinking offensively and doesn't simply want a clock control defensive offense. Nearly everyone of them have been known for creative and explosive offenses.

Pruitt working for Bama has given people that impression but when he worked under Propst they were innovative, so thats where he cut his teeth, plus he's not retarded... he sees where this thing is headed.. wide open pedal to the freakin metal, let's tire this defense out and hang 70 on these SOB's......

Maybe it is...

I don't think he ever wanted to, but he may be forced to.

 

[HankHill]

So, 95%?

97.6*

Yea that's all I am saying

 

[HankHill]

Well we offered freeze and yurcich (imo) before it was done so

 

[volfanCLT]

His whole coaching resume

I’m not a Friend fan, just better than Lebby

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Yall not listening to AVOL, deal is done.

Not sure if sarcasm, but his most recent update is we had Yurcich till OSU called and things are heating up with various candidates, but nothing done

 

[Charlie Kelly]

Nevermind....I suppose what is clearly obvious to me, is not to anyone else, so I guess that makes me wrong..carry on.

For the record, I agree with you. Coaches will always eventually adapt to system guys.

 

[StoVol]

 

[Sleegro]

Good hire.

 

[amazingGRACE]

Talking ourselves into Lebby being a quality hire Lol


Oh my

 

[Ron Swanson]

Great get for WVU

 

[Nashvegas31]

Interested to see wHo Troy would target as replacement

 

[Ace]

Good hire.

WVU is always going to struggle in Big 12. Other teams have recruiting advantage with Texas prospects. They need to be in ACC or SEC

Tee Martin?

Agreed. It’d be nice to have someone not learning on our dime on this staff.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Great get for WVU

Agreed. He probably will recruit at higher level than Holgs to eventually make them stronger. He is also actually a believer in defense

 

[StoVol]

For the record, I agree with you. Coaches will always eventually adapt to system guys.

but theyv've had 25 years ... and its still spreading, offenses have finally figured out that 11 guys cannot be right defending 53 by 30 square yards.. one guy responsible for over 50 sq yds with guys zooming thru their area at full speed. If you can execute, you will get first downs

It’s true. Even guys like carol and bellicheck have evolved. Be more aggressive on defense and take more risks and try for turnovers and sacks.

New TFP beat writer.

When you NEED to make an OC hire, hell yeah I am going to criticize him. We are what, 30...40....days into this search, and people are like....things are ramping up now. Excuse me if I have a problem with procrastination....from anyone. Pruitt is not above reproach. One would think that he would want an OC here to be able to recruit some more Offensive Playmakers and get some continuity with the coaches. Forgive me for criticizing Lord Pruitt.

Sorry, I have a hard time forgiving bit*hing, just for the sake of bit*hing.
