Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

At the end of the day Chaney would be an upgrade over Helton.

 

[HankHill]

Your argument is old and tired. You have said this 100 times and still refuse to use any common sense or look at the context of the stats you are using. Give it a rest.

Spin them anyway you want...the only year we had a good offense was with one of the best offensive rosters in the last decade here.

 

[VolGee4]

Who’s fault is that... who would’ve been developing that run game?

Our RB’s were terrible. Tauren Poole would get tackled by a blade of grass, and Neal and Lane weren’t SEC RB’s.

With Ty and Gray, the talent right now is much better, and Friend will develop OL.

 

[chargervol]

Chaney checks the boxes well enough for me.
Recruits
Never had a problem with his calls
Reported to be respected at OC by Pruitt.

Lets ride

 

[volfanCLT]

He may not be but he certainly has a higher ceiling and is way better in recruiting. Chaney was lazy as hell in that aspect.

Haha Lebby is currently ranked the 27th best recruiter in the AAC

Get that trash outta here

Without a doubt, still baffled he got a head coaching job. That was Brohm’s offense

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

We had James stone, Dallas Thomas, jujuan James on that OL... it isn’t comparable to this one.

That unit was kind of crap in 2010 and 2011, though. Took a few years of experience and Tiny getting a year of S&C before they were any good.

Over your head as well

Chaney didn’t even try recruiting wise. It was his biggest knock while here.

 

[buffaloblue]

Rumors of Tee as a package with someone else could be good. He is an extremely hard worker and would fit with this staff on that. Chaney or another OC with him makes sense.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Agree....add Tee and we become a serious player in Atlanta / California

 

[Ace]

Jimmy Sexton is how he got the job

 

[revjayp]

I think Chaney is average at best and no one will convince me other wise. I watched his offenses here for 4 years and there is a reason he has been a drifter and Georgia has stripped responsibilities from him and are slow playing him with a contract. I know I’m in the minority for that but that’s how i feel.

I feel the exact same way. Now, if CJP brought Tee along too, that changes things for me. I like Chaney. I just remember being frustrated with his play calling with Bray, Hunter and CP. But he IS better than Helton.

 

[landscapingvol]

Jimmy Sexton is how he got the job

Probably right

 

[SugarCC]

This coming from the guy who told me my opinions were garbage when I said our pass rush would struggle this year and WVU had an edge over us due to staff and roster continuity.

Thinking and saying we’re 3+ years from an SEC Championship isn’t a ridiculous opinion at all. Most outside of VN would just call that a realistic opinion.

I will admit, I was wrong about how this season would turn out. I felt we could win 7, maybe 8 games coming into it. I still believe if our OL had been anything other than maybe the worst OL in college football, and if Darrell Taylor shows up in a couple more games, we may have gotten 7; because I thought and believed these, I was wrong.

I also still believe that most of your opinions are still garbage; that hasn't changed, no matter how wrong I was, am, and will be in the future.

As far as 3+ yrs...maybe; doesn't change that I believe anyone who thinks negatively about our recruiting, in any form or fashion, is being very shortsighted, and just looking for something to bit*h about; pretty much the same way I feel about anyone who was, and still is, hung up about Weinke coaching RBs.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Spin them anyway you want...the only year we had a good offense was with one of the best offensive rosters in the last decade here.

Yeah but that unit’s personnel wasn’t all that great the previous years, either.

Hunter was out basically all season in 2011, there was no CP, Bray was injured off and on all year, and Da’Rick was talented, but a bit of a cancer. RB was never a strength under Dooley. The guys we had on the OL in 2010 and 2011 went on to become a good unit, but they were young and underdeveloped until 2012.

 

[volfanCLT]

Antonio Gates has gotta be pushing 280

 

[SugarCC]

Fulmer encouraged Pruitt to talk to different Offensive minds.
Freeze is a well respected Offensive mind.

UT was never going to offer/hire Hugh Freeze.

Jeremy Pruitt was just having a conversation with an Offensive guy that beat Alabama twice.

Mathews said when the search started that Pruitt would talk to a lot of people, and he wouldn't necessarily be interviewing them. He said that's what Fulmer use to do, and it goes all the way back to Bear Bryant...talking to many different people, many different minds, during a search.

 

[BeecherVol]

No one cares about YHO

In regards to this, just take the opposite and you ll be good.

 

[Smokeytom]

Man y’all (Hank) are crazy if you don’t see how big a home run hire Chaney would be.

 

[Sleegro]

Hank was always gonna find a way to spin it as negative no matter who we hire.

 

[MetalVolunteer]

I actually prefer it this way, and find comfort that the media is scrambling. I see it as everyone rowing in the same direction. It’s literally the opposite of Bermuda John’s search last year.

Me as well. I want him to keep it close to vest and make sure that he gets “his” guy.

Just so that if it turns out to be a good hire and we get on the right track and get back to winning, I want Pruitt to be able to get the respect from the fans that he knows what he’s doing or at least hes doing it the right way.

Now, there is also a possibility that he can make a horrible hire and the ship continues to burn out of control lmao!! But I truly believe that Pruitt is OUR COACH.

Think it’s also funny that the media says that he’s a control freak and coaches are hesitant to work with him. Funny, cause I think the only coach that may leave is Weinke, other than Helton.

Things may change after feb 3rd but everything points to that the staff will stay intact, except for maybe one leaving and that’s just speculation at this time.

Must be an inside joke for a select few of douchers. I’ll just keep on scrolling.

Well that was the heart of the issue, wasn’t it? Whether we had enough talent in the trenches to have that kind of season or not. Saying that we hadn’t seen enough out of that unit in previous seasons to believe they’d be productive wasn’t unfounded.

I also still believe that most of your opinions are still garbage; that hasn't changed, no matter how wrong I was, am, and will be in the future.

Props for at least being open about how closed-minded you are and not trying to pretend otherwise.

As far as 3+ yrs...maybe; doesn't change that I believe anyone who thinks negatively about our recruiting, in any form or fashion, is being very shortsighted, and just looking for something to bit*h about; pretty much the same way I feel about anyone who was, and still is, hung up about Weinke coaching RBs.

I’m not sure saying that we’re 3 or more years away from an SEC Championship is being negative about our recruiting. Most of the guys we sign in this class could still be around 3-4 years from now. Saying we need 3 or 4 more like this isn’t a rub on them as much as in the current state of the depth we have to work with on this roster. Even if we hit on everybody we bring in this year, we’re gonna need to build more depth behind those guys to have the type of roster that wins 10 games.

I don’t really see that as a knock on our recruiting. Just an acknowledgement of where our roster is at the moment.

 

[InVOLuntary]

They just said this was the most attendance they have had all season and it may literally have 8k people here.

Holly.
