Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Batman1948]

Mississippi St DC Zach Arnett being talked about as DC on TOS.

So, I'm guessing that JH doesn't have the same philosophy regarding leaks as our AD has

Hot take, I wouldn't mind keeping Chaney. Heupel is calling the plays. Chaney can dissect what he sees in the booth down to the field

CHANEY SUCKS. How can you keep carrying his hot dog water? Unbelievable.

Tennessee director of football programming Todd Watson is expected to join Nick Saban’s staff in a support role

Bye

Bama boys are heading home after a job well done

Matt Dixson of the Tony Basilio show said on the blog that Lyle Jones wears lifts in his shoes! Is that for real? If so

 

[AppStVol]

Things seem to have turned out alright but we absolutely should’ve just fired Pruitt after the A&M game and given him his buyout. I like heupel but I bet we could’ve gotten Franklin or someone of that caliber.

No doubt. This is big boy football and you don't invite the wolfs into the sheeps den. Optics would have been much better to fire for performance, eat the buyout, then self impose.

We are going to end up paying much more overtime for this transition.

Talking with a Clemson booster yesterday and he made a good comparison to what Fulmer has done that I never thought of... Bobby Bowden.

Saban made him take them out and sit when he peed.

Burying the “all around” lead with Evans tho.

Haven't seen a ton of JuCo success here from RBs besides Kamara, who was a far higher rated guy incoming than Evans.

Chaney would be a terrible influence on JH in a lot of ways.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

I mean idk man I'm just so bummed knowing it'll be 3 years at least before we are even competitive for the East. I'm sad

Look at the bright side Cat, you're young. Us old guys could be long gone before we see it again.

Sucks at what? Playcalling? Heupel does that. His playbook? Heupel has his.

De1 not happy about the Heupel hire

To be honest about it neither am I but at least I'm sort of getting past being angry about it. I could get to happy, maybe, eventually, but I'm not going all in like I have before. I'll try to be objective though. Let's see what he can do. I mean seriously, what choice do we have? I should also say I'm not extremely pessimistic but I'm not going to be optimistic until I see someting from our team on the field to be optimistic about. I do think there's some chance we start year one 3-0 and then we have a 7 game stretch that may be pretty brutal, then maybe win the last 2. I think if we win just 1 of the games in the 7 game stretch and lock down the other 5, I think we'd have done pretty good. Anything better than that would likely be genuine cause for optimism. jmo.

At times i honestly felt bad for JG. It’s like dude stop asking the kid to find 15 yard patters.

Was good for Lane. I see it similar.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

He said some that played will not win. But I just love how the small guys are going after the big dog's.

They may not be small guys. Elon Musk was infuriated when hedge funds bet against Tesla. Now he’s the wealthiest man in the world.

 

[Volnut]

I just want you to know that I am laughing so hard I can’t see through the tears to type this.

 

[LA Vol]

Who do you think would be some good targets for coordinators and assistants?

Pretty sure JH is bringing some of his staffers. Steele, Simon and Osovet are people UT would like to keep in some capacity. Not sure how or where that fits in with JH's plans. Not a lot of enthusiasm for Chaney or Weinke. UT has already talked with Garner. I think you'll see a lot of familiarity with the hires, with an emphasis on family and stability. Deals will be structured to make guys feel comfortable. And it will send a signal to the players that UT is listening to them and addressing their concerns by bringing in guys that will stick around and invest in them and the program.

Please no. Honestly, if no member of the former staff stay including Steele (except Graham who might already be gone) I would be happy. Clean house is what we need.

F that gump. When Pruitt was hired, he was going around Birmingham/Mtn. Brook openly talking about how they were going to build UT up and then come back to Alabama after Saban.

These guys were nothing more than mercenaries collecting a check who deep down despise UT.

 

[HankHill]

Was good for Lane. I see it similar.

I’m not gonna rag on chaney anymore but i don’t think he had much of any effect on that team besides helping with OL Chaney is a very good pass pro teacher

 

[gmaynard]

this is so true im 72 just glad im going to see some of this fast paced football this year

 

[VFLPastor]

So, here's an odd question. At The Nick Saban School for Coaching Rehabilitation they have like a billion support staff positions and analysts. We started doing much more of this under the Pruitt/Fulmer Administration if I remember correctly. Is that something that we'd expect to continue and be used by the incoming staff? Or is that something likely to go the way of the McDonald's cash payment system?

I feel like in theory more coaches and eyes on a gameplan could have advantages. But, I also don't know if there's a reason to think that more opinions might just get in the way of clear thinking.

 

[Playdo]

If we do all this and keep Chaney

 

[MoCo_Vol]

What's wild/sad all at the same time the Heupel offense is what JG would excel in. Ya get a 1/3 of the field to work with on quick reads with a lot of one on one where your goal is to get it to the WR fast and let them work in space. A few shots down field when the defense gets greedy and ya put it where only your guy can get it or no one.

 

[HankHill]

Houston Kress out here scouring the board looking for things to talk about so he looks informed. He just brought up Zack Arnette lol

a true hero story. Laundry boy for pat summit to having his finger on the pulse of the program
