Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Arkansas ran that defense this year too

Odum has B12 ties so it makes sense

 

[Nashvegas31]

Just for and giggles, let’s just say if Bob Stoops did want to come out of retirement he wouldn’t have to look too far for an OC. What about a Stoops/Sumlin combo...worked together before and Sumlin was involved in the UCF coachjng search to replace Frost

 

[tomq_123]

I have no idea who this is.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

I think it's safe to say he hasn't turned down a job that's going to offer more than we are. That may be a stretch, but I think it's a pretty safe bet. Texas, maybe. But they are dealing with a buyout.

Also, he might have turned down the Jets. But I highly doubt he turned down all those NFL interviews, or refused all the offers. When you interview and you don't get the job, you say you were not interested. No college coach with a current team has ever admitted they wanted a job but didn't get it.

I think this is right - but also, considering Campbell is his own agent his dialogue with NFL teams is more direct - no middle man. He gets to gage directly whether their interest is exploratory or serious. I don’t think he wastes his time with exploratory and I don’t think any NFL team was pursuing him as their top candidate (yet)

Two Greek words for time and he is telling the difference in the two words. Used a lot in the Bible.

His time will come and when it does, he will make the most of it.

Campbell would be the greatest hire made this off season in all of college football.

Pipe dream.

Could there be a leak sometime tonight? Kind of feels like it. Maybe wishful thinking.

 

[Dudley Smith]

2 tidbits

Matt Campbell serves as his own agent which could be good or bad for any negotiations if it gets to that point.

As always in the SEC, Jimmy Sexton clients are being pushed hard.

Is Elliott now a Sexton client?

 

[Ashevolle]

LOL this guy. Somehow (I don’t understand it, to be honest), he can coach OK, but... hard pass.

Chronos is an hour. Kaidos is an hour with a hooker. Got it?

Was this part of his African prayer meeting with Kongbo?

 

[goooooovols]

Any chance this makes the ticker at the bottom of our bball game tonight?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Whittingham is 61..... How long would he be around?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Not gonna lie boys, I’m feeling more and more pessimistic. When I try to view this search as if I was a fan of another team, I get pretty sad.

You will get blasted for feeling that way on here. But I totally understand your feelings. We've been burnt too many times on this stuff.

 

[itsme]

The teams he's turned down also had money. And no NCAA investigation.

There are some people that are just different, in that they like a challenge no one else is willing to take. Who around him would have told him to leave Toledo to go to Iowa State. Most I would think, would have told him to stay at Toledo and wait for something bigger and better. He seems to be a guy that likes the grind and proving people wrong. Let’s hope he does so.

 

[Catbone]

I don't think there will be many credible leaks until Feldman or Clow say something

 

[tvolsfan]

We gon shock the world.

The AD hire was a huge shock. I am very happy with that. I also do believe our boosters are fed up and willing to throw huge money.

I’m just not convinced this job is appealing at this particular moment.

 

[Catbone]

For maximum effect, if we do already have a coach, when would you want the info released?

Now so he can recruit the portal guys asap

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

If Campbell is the guy you really want, then go full force after him. If its Stoops or someone else. Same.

The search should not go beyond Kiffin though.

I still think that's who I want out of everyone discussed thus far.

 

[Dudley Smith]

I was watching a YouTube video on Campbell last night. He does some unique things on defense. One of the videos was saying his defense has been nicknamed the air raid killer. But he basically plays 3 safties so there is always a safety over the top. They called it a 3 3 3 defense.

If you want a deep dive on this defense, here it is

[KPT_VFL]

Just give us Elliot if it’s coming down to Will Healy and other scrubs.

 

[pierce60]

Or Thamel.

Another place to look is John Brice.

 

[jakez4ut]

I think it may be happening

Tonight right before tip off!
