Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Orange Studs]

I have watched idiot NFL front offices hire dozens if not hundreds of horrible coaches in my lifetime. That means less than zero to me.

You still have to prove yourself to get there. Like I said Saban wasn't successful in the NFL either.

Doing some research on Marrone, his recruiting was pretty average at Syracuse. It's tough to get a real calculation because the year after he left Syracuse jumped from the Big East to the ACC.

These class rankings are what they would have equated to in the ACC that year (per 247.) None of these classes were higher than 6th in the Big East at the time.

2009: 14th
2010: 11th
2011: 10th
2012: 11th
2013: 13th

He was the coach there from 2009-2012, so the 2009 and 2013 class are not totally his, but I thought I would include them for more information and data.

What these numbers tell me, which isn't surprising given he has such a positive reputation in the NFL, is that he's a pure coach and develops the talent he has available to him.

Again, these are Big East numbers, but given the talent he had above, he finished:

7th in the Big East in 2009: 4-8
4th in the Big East in 2010: 8-5
7th in the Big East in 2011: 5-7
1st in the Big East in 2012: 8-5

Two 8 win seasons in four years, Syracuse hadn't reached 8 wins since 2001 before Marrone.

Mid-tier conference recruiter with 4-8, 5-7, 8-5 records. Those are Classic UT records (these days). He's meant for modern UT lol

Nice research btw

Trying to keep up with all the reporters reports and who y'all were hiring and firing while working all day only to come home to the "told you we were keeping him and ruining any chance he can suceed" crowd. This is unacceptable. Y'all have to do better.

It is honestly ridiculous. I hope that the administration has a plan in place and that is why they are taking their time.

I would hope they have a hire in place and ready before they announce the fire, but that's not the Tennessee way.

Florida is looking at Charlie Strong for secondary coach

That is a major fall from grace..but he is a very rich man. I guess it depends on what makes you happy, a great legacy or money.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

And THAT is freedom.

People are free to be morons, but they aren't free from consequences from other private parties.

That is institutionalized discrimination.

Kingsbury..

Some of you might enjoy this behavior, but not sure our players would in a Head Coach.

Wow. Big time hire if true.

When your committed to winning money isn’t an issue

 

[VOL608]

Fleck is Butch on steroids. No thanks.

 

[Power T-Rev]

It’s a sorry POS who keeps leaking this to Trey Wallace. Im’a read it though.....

Trey should give us a cut of his earnings, because we all know it's where he gets his info

Edit: he immediately retweeted the Hendon Hooker tweet so I guess just related to that.

Its definitely interesting if whoever coaches here next year runs some sort of QB run game next year. Kid isn't terrible

Derek Mason will be DC at Auburn.

That's a good landing spot for him

 

[Vol4ever]

I would hope they have a hire in place and ready before they announce the fire, but that's not the Tennessee way.

Not if the Haslams are involved.
