Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[butchna]

well, Andy did bring us back against ND....until he didn't. lol.

and yeah, Kelly is one of my favorites, but he was as mistake prone as he was big play capable....the thing that gets lost when Kelly ges talked about as a QB and his importance to TN was that he and those offenses of the late 80's, very early 90's, showed recruits what we were about, and what we were capable of....i think the 89, 90, 91 seasons were crucial in setting up our ability to build the program the way we did later on in the decade.

and Kelly was a big part of that, as was Carl PIckens and Alvin Harper, and Hayden, Steward, Cobb, Webb and all those big O linemen we had.....

we had an identity....

Won against ND. I didn’t predict he’d make it as a starter at UT, but a lot of that was based on my Red Bank bias against Rhea County. He was great in that offense imo, and his stats would’ve been better in a more high percentage philosophy. That being said, I always said that he could bring you back from any deficit but he would be the main reason the deficit existed. Could fumble on a dime and find that one DB who could snatch that interception.

Agree, and yet the troubling signs (staff turnover, GA State, JG commitment) are still there in spite of just coming up short in some games

Agree, but sometimes it just takes awhile to get it figured out and just the way you want it as a HC. Furthering on the Dabo example, Dabo fired his OC (Billy Napier -- now a hot HC candidate for what he's been able to do at UL Lafayette) after that underwhelming 6-7 season in Year 3, and fired his RB coach/Special Teams Coordinator as well.

Start Maurer. Play Bailey in the 2nd half once the game is out of hand. Then decide who the starter is going forward in the bye week, Maurer or HB.

THIS and never look back!

yep. and on the ND game, i was thinking about the game in Neyland....when he threw that pick in the end zone. i was crushed that day.

but man, i was happy the next year.....

and i agree on your take about him 100%....still though, one of my favorites....probably because i was young and didn't know any better and blocked all bad stuff from memory.

wish i could do that now?

Once he hired Venebles, it completely changed the trajectory of his program.

It’s happening!!! I bet we see a new starter, but I hope like heck that this isn’t like last year where we start one QB and then bring JG in for the next series. Let whoever have a chance. Praying it’s Maurer or Bailey if we make a change.

you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

it's a smoke screen to keep SAban guessing and to prepare for potentially 4 QB's

...prolly.

So Gruden is going to start BM or HB?


It's happening!

I told you MIT was no troll!

Him and Beaver always had the inside scoop.

If we execute, we can be successful.

No one is going to execute anyone. ..

You did, I should have never answered

VA? I've been put in mandated quarantine by the health department twice already, and they already had my phone number. Couldn't leave the house and had to answer a symptom questionnaire every day.

Agreed, but I would start HB against Arkansas. Get HB ready with the bye week.

LSU might be in trouble. Apparently self reporting boosters paying players and reducing scholarships by 8. More to come I’m sure.

@Chuckie omg .
I guess I definitely need to re-read before I post. @Orangeredblooded knows what I meant!

 

[ndubvols]

Given their stance on their basketball coach this is really surprising. Must be bad, bad.

Today is a rough day for me. It'd be my dad's 75th birthday today. Lost him in 2016. Still miss him every single day.

Sorry man. It’s hard for me to fathom sometimes that I have to live the rest of my life without my dad.

 

[orangejuice]

Well hell that seems worth it considering they just won the NC. I’ll take a NC and then self imposed sanctions the next year.

 

[rjd970]

Funny how that happens the year after they are good. If they would be in the title hunt this year I bet we never hear of it.

i'll believe it when i see it.
