If the head coach is all the matters we never ever ever beat Saban.
That's why there are always other factors that hopefully allow us to beat him occasionally.

That's not true, AT ALL. News flash, man...not everyone wants to play for Saban. DWA chose to play for Pruitt over playing for Saban...Darnell Wright is going to choose to play for Pruitt over playing for Saban. I'm sure that Wanya Morris could have played for Saban if he wanted to, he didn't. Same goes for Quavaris Crouch. With Morris and Crouch, they decided early that they did not want to play for Saban, and would rather play for Pruitt. Your argument doesn't hold water, my friend.

Point is...Nieds could have the greatest relationship in the world with a recruit; but, if that recruit doesn't like Pruitt, or doesn't want to play for Pruitt, it doesn't make a bit of difference in the world how strong of a bond Nieds and recruit has.

Didn't want to get up in time for the job.

Weinke is just too rigid. A real stiff.

They're a very sensitive bunch. If your team upsets them in Athens, you better get a picture of the scoreboard with 1 second left because they will turn it off as soon as the game is over. They also have plenty of Atlanta area media more than happy to spread whatever message they want...including the one that Gran was never offered by UGA.

Was the 2nd half against GA garbage time?
Click to expand...
No. I've said before he had a really good 2nd half against a good Georgia team but that's about all you can really reference when claiming he made all these great improvements this year. Hard to really take much out of the rest of the year cause it was all garbage time stats.

Yea, College of Charleston was probably their worst loss and honestly they had great chances to beat Texas Tech and LSU. They have had a couple close calls to bad teams lately, and he has shown average coaching acumen so far. Nothing I've been overly impressed with. We will see if he starts to out-coach some veteran guys because he hasn't done that yet.

Hurts handled a near impossible situation with class and faith. I hope he succeeds at Oklahoma. I still remember him destroying us.

I totally agree. I'm a big fan of Hurts and hope he succeeds. I just don't think he's that good in the passing game and I think picking OK was maybe a mistake cause IMO he's probably gonna get beat out by Rattler by the end of the season. I'm sure Riley can gameplan for him but I think him starting at qb for them limits OU's offense considerably.

Wait you realize the talk is based on @butcha saying recruiting is about the head coach and all recruitments are the same. The head coach is all that matters is the side of the discussion you are siding with.



You understand that depth charts, location, position coaches, atmosphere around the program, acedemic structure/offerings, student body amongst other things also come into play which might allow a recruit to choose a school for more than what the head coach is ???


I hope you understand that and don't need a news flash to tell you recruiting is far from the same all the time where the head coach is all that matters.

Per a VQ poster who works in AD... coach Kelly is leaving and has been pulled off the road recruiting today, should be official soon. Johnson is likely to go to LSU. Pruitt really likes Weinke, he doubts he leaves.

Been trying to tell folks all along Weinke wasn’t leaving...unless it was for a MUCH better deal somewhere else...and Ill be honest. He is a fantastic recruiter despite the black and white view. Additionally he’s a heck of a coach.

Yes Kelly is headeding out the door I heard as well.

They have more talent than most teams in their league. They will have even better talent next year even though they lose several seniors. As long as you have the best talent in the AAC, you will win more than you lose.

I agree with that but I just expected there to be signs he's in over his head with losses to less talented teams. I was wrong because we haven't seen that yet.

With Kelly leaving do you see Nieds shifting coaching positions and a Lilly or Osovet promotion?
