Does anyone know the difference in yards for roughing the kicker and running into the kicker?

One's a five yard penalty and the other is fifteen yard and automatic 1st down.

 

[Batman1948]

Does anyone know the difference between a serious question and a sarcastic one?

It's clear that you don't

This is crazy talk. We out talent every team we play next year other than 3-4. With good coaching that gets you 8-9 wins. Freeze could easily walk in here tomorrow and win 8 next year. This three year non sense is excuses for bad hires.

How exactly is it crazy? Have you not seen our track record?

We have kept every bad coach too long and never, save kiffin, got the guy at the top of the list.

What's crazy is expecting this program to compete at that level simply because we change head coaches.

It doesn't matter what we do. 15 years later...I KNOW how this turns out, either way.

We will not hire the next best thing if we do fire Pruitt. And Pruitt will have a job for simply being better than this year. @Ron Swanson was correct. 6-6 gets us year 5. Book it.

Y'all need to start Reconciling reality with fantasy...

Beckwith got in late, but looked like a real stud. Thought his body type a running style looked much different than any of other running backs we have. Small looked really good running the ball to. He has great vision, speed along with a style to run people over. Key looked really good. Some other like Crouch coming of the edge looked good, but he’s been getting playing time.

No I was just curious... Not meant to put his name on 'the list'

 

[MrVolton]

Yea I agree with that but there is a difference between arm strength and a slow release. From my seat HB lacks both in arm talent and has a long slow release and that’s what DM was referring to

the issue is 12 throws the damn ball to the wrong team too much as evidenced from the small size here and from his terrible HS history

The right coach and the right system could get tons of production out of either one of them.

I don't know if you have heard some of these things that has been said about the vaccination but I have heard some of the craziest things. One is that it will erase your DNA. Another one was that it has a protein that will sterilize women. Personally I don't believe any of those but where can I find info about what is in the shot? They are in that age group that needs to get the shot and would like to give them that info. Thank you.

Dude...

Wouldn't mind having him as DC. Major upgrade over Ansley.

We’ve had three bad hires in a row. And based on our history, that is an anomoly. This would be the easiest search in history. You go ask the big guys to come, if they say no, your floor is freeze and Napier. Both would win here and win quick. I mean Napier has never had under seven wins as a head coach. That is reality.

 

[jakez4ut]

I see 9 wins next year. Especially if Bailey improves.

I think the QB obviously makes a huge difference in how this team has performed the past 2 years.

But I think our ceiling next year is probably 7-5. We're not good enough yet on the los... On either side of the ball.

 

[McGeesPub]

Mercy
you expect the best regular season in 15 years.

Yes. If it’s a 4-5 year rebuild then year 4 should consist of beating exactly everyone you are supposed to beat. I count SC, Missouri, and UK in that group, if it is an actual “rebuild.”

 

[tnktm]

Beat who we’re supposed to and no more blowouts (unless we’re doing it). For all the vandy feel goods we were blown out 1 week ago (2 late touchdowns were garbage).

6-6 may indeed get him year 5, but we aren’t going 6-6. Thinking 3 or 4 wins.

 

[Specs]

A 'rebuild' implies you are doing something, reaching milestones, constructing foundations, etc.

How does 3 rounds of staff changes, crumbling recruiting classes, non existent players development, and poor game day coaching fit into a 'rebuilding' plan?

Our O line will be 5*, 3* , 4*, 5*, 5*. Not exactly lacking talent. It’s lacking coaching and can be very good. Our ceiling is 10 with the right coach.

Butch had only one losing season and won a conf championship... And it's not an anomaly... Is who we have been the past 12 years, and it doesn't show any signs of changing any time soon.

Edited. Thanks @GoBigOrange86

Dude...

Erase dna? In other words kill you at a cellular level. Stop paying so much attention to Robert Kennedy.hes a nut

You live in a fantasy world. Lol. In this world, the real one... We go 6-6. And get ready for year 17.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Butch never had a losing record either and won a conf championship... And it's not an anomaly... Is who we have been the past 12 years, and it doesn't show any signs of changing any time soon.

Butch went 4-8 his first year at Cincinnati.

 

[Catbone]

I think it's pretty likely we go 6-6 or 7-5 next year (which is totally unacceptable but probably good enough in the eyes of our AD)

 

[jakez4ut]

6-6 may indeed get him year 5, but we aren’t going 6-6. Thinking 3 or 4 wins.

The ooc games will factor in and help
