Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Pick your defensive coordinator and get a reason why:

Arnett at Miss. St.
Grinch at Oklahoma
Steele at Brent Hubbs' house.

Arnett or Grinch because they are used to coaching D with this type of offense. I don't want Steele around this program.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

What is it?

I don't bring their info over here. Someone else will I'm sure

 

[LA Vol]

FWIW I appreciate your honesty and candor with us. I would much rather hear the brutal honest truth then just be told what we want to hear with little merit from the hype-man ATL.

Thank you. I call it like I see it, and if the facts don't support an opinion, they don't support it. I think the Chancellor did a commendable job running the search professionally and having a contingency plan. I think she made a sound AD hire, and I think she's giving him the support and time he needs to make the changes required. I've commented multiple times on those things. Seeing both sides of something or someone doesn't fit some agendas, though.

“Chris Weinke and Jim Chaney have been relieved of their duties. Joe Osovet continues to be a part of the staff as of now.”

Chris Weinke HAD no business being on this staff in any capacity.
Good riddance

We’ve been giving up points Bc we had an incompetent QB and head coach.
we never converted 3rd downs.
Our defense wasn’t great, but it also wasn’t as bad as the scores made it look. They were on the field every game Bc of turnovers and the incompetent offense.
I PROMISE you this offense will not be 29% on 3rd down conversions.

Heupel will not score even close as he was at UCF.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

The Hubbs post on VQ about Tee is... uh, really something. not a good look here.

I didn’t see it. What was said?

I appreciate his insights to the program as well, but he’s made it plain and clear he disagrees with how things were handled. Nothing to do about it now. Time to let it go.

Arnett

I don’t like to read into player tweets but I hope this doesn’t mean what I think it means

Heupel will not score even close as he was at UCF.

Kiffin had plenty of success in year 1. Heupel has plenty of success at Mizzou as OC. Top of the SEC is scoring 40+ ppg now. What makes you think he can’t do it here?

Prob does. There’s gonna be transfers

 

[Volociraptor256]

I don’t like to read into player tweets but I hope this doesn’t mean what I think it means

He gone

 

[LoudOrange]

I don’t like to read into player tweets but I hope this doesn’t mean what I think it means

I'd say it means exactly that

 

[orange parmejohn]

BINGO.
even worse. We came away with no points.
What’s worse, being on the field after a 3 & out or after a Scoring drive...

people who claim to worry about the defense being on the field are just old timers who don’t want to understand the change in football.
The offense gets a lead and the run game starts gutting and the pace slows down to help hold leads.

Agreed. With an explosive offense, the defense only needs to be solid and disciplined.

Look...my mom left me some money and it is in a Edward Jones account which I hope to leave untouched till retirement. I just don't want this chaos to end up ruining me. I am a cautious non-greedy person and I just want to be left out of this crap.

I don't understand the stock market, I am a poor guy and always have been, all I know is that the bulk of my money is invested in ten mutual funds, and besides that I have about $2,500 worth of stock in Emerson electronics and Home Depot which have both done really well since June.

I don't want the market to crash over these idiots...that is my concern.

It won't. Traditional fund managers know how to navigate through this. The market will adjust. Just enjoy the fireworks. The vultures are having the flesh picked from their bones for a change.

No. 1 Sec Defenses. No. 2. Our overall talent and depth on Offense.

 

[Dudley Smith]

How has he done at OU? I haven't followed

3rd in scoring defense and total defense in Big 12 this year, at 21.7 ppg, 350 ypg, only .3 ppg and 10 ypg behind Matt Campbell's Iowa State defense. #1 in league in sacks.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

He gone

Or what if he is just ready to get on the field and play again?

let him go
doesn’t fit with Jh anyway

He took off everything Tennessee from social media

No. 1 Sec Defenses. No. 2. Our overall talent and depth on Offense.

So are you saying "I'm dismissing his 2 years at Missouri" cause that's what it sounds like.

1. they were facing SEC defenses
2. their overall talent and depth were less than ours

 

[volbeast33]

No. 1 Sec Defenses. No. 2. Our overall talent and depth on Offense.

I bet he scores close to what he did..... we got good QBs..... good wrs..... should be a serviceable offensive line..... our young rbs look very promising.

 

[Vols4us]

He was saying it in response to an African-American caller who was upset that we didn't hire an AA coach. Tony got the caller to admit that Franklin wasn't worth that much.

Good - thanks for the follow-up.
