Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

That is the problem. So bama is going to continue to be on top until Saban retires, and even then, the new coach will have every built in advantage that others don't. If they make a good hire, this will continue

Hopefully one day on the not so distant future, Bama will get all of their championships vacated.

 

[Sleegro]

Come on how are 18-22 YOs not leaking this DC hire?

It's awesome. Haha

 

[Sleegro]

I think De1’s McDonald’s bags stop coming and he is upset.

@drvenner any response?

No one will ever continue what Saban has done. There will be a drop off

Alabama signing half of the top 50 and we over here just begging for a full staff of coaches and a transfer kicker

That was it, good memory. Ya, he was so good at Oakland, seemed like a super nice guy too. Hated to see his career tank like that. People act like these GMs are so much smarter than average fans, but decisions like that (and a lot of bad QB draft decisions over the years) make me wonder if they really are.

My ultimate lifetime goal would be to get to the level of GM or Assistant GM (which i know has winning the lottery level odds) so it infuriates me when all these current GMs do things that a kindergarten level football mind would know not to do. They get so caught up in numbers and trying to outsmart the room that they just completely whiff.

Like why in the hell was josh Rosen drafted so high? Or why would you sign Blake Bortles to a big contract? Why if you are the cardinals do you draft Isaiah Simmons that high when your OL is bad and your QB is tiny.

Thanks Jimmy

 

[pismonque]

Lol. Dang you.

The gif so nice you post it twice.

No such thing as too much JLaw imo.

No one is replicating what saban is doing. They will be right where Georgia is now within 2 years.

I am just a selfless mentor. I am not looking to get paid for anything.

You have to wonder why we even bother anymore. CFB is rigged. The rich at the top, then the rest of us. And our university can't even get out of their own way so that we can win 9 games

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Keith Etheredge is a POS honestly, after hearing that interview. Who says they are going to prevent their kids from going to a SEC D1 school?

High School coaches shouldn't prevent any of their players from going anywhere they want to.

 

[Sleegro]

Is this a product of spending alot of time in gun formations though? Better metric would show sacks by year by formation

More about sacks per drop back. Heupel increased offensive plays per game every season but number of run plays remained the same. So the increase was more drop backs.

 

[jpope9]

yep. If the country thinks our fanbase is bad, any coach that follows saban will have a mental breakdown dealing with those expectations.

 

[ACvol3]

Something needs to be done about Bama. This is ridiculous and has been. They need to be investigated. Come on. Half our staff was from bama. They didn't just start cheating at UT

That’s what a city that’s “on board” with a schools athletic dept looks like

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

LOL. Even their police are on board. Remember when they arrested their players for guns and then let them go. The police chief said something like "Hey, those players have to practice with no A/C. They get hot, and make bad decisions" or something. Even the police protect bama.

I don't know. Saban is GOAT right now, but some of this is the result of bigger things at play. I will believe it until I die...you can't tell me the 2019 Bama game wasn't called in favor of Bama. It was blatantly clear. That is really the problem....there are just too many Bammers in the SEC office and NCAA offices. Officiating, administrators, secretaries, etc...it permeates everything and it is just too easy to look the other way or not pass up a memo or not look into anything or have an unconcious bias when calling a game. Look at the Bama/MSU game from 2019 as well. Its a total sham and the sad part is I'm not sure it is even intentional - its just a product of the conference running things out of Birmingham, AL and this is the result.

I'm convinced a borderline retard could step into the the Bama HC role and stumble into a SEC championship every few years. It is what it is. It almost makes me want to give up watching CFB because it is quickly becoming a futile enterprise.

John Brice on Basilio talking about the DC position:

Doesn't think Steele is a fit for what Heupel wants on defense.

Confirmed Arnett was contacted last week. Apparently on Feburary 1, a clause in his contract increased his buyout.

Also confirmed that multiple NFL defensive assistants have contacted Tennnessee with interest in the DC position, as well as power 5 coaches.

Heupel has been conducting DC interviews this week.

Edit:
He also said that he talked to a ncaa compliance officer who said that Tennessee should be able to avoid the "Lack of institutional control" penalty.

Also thinks the DC hire is impending, by the end of the week.

I really don’t see it that way. I think the best teams get the best breaks Bc they make them happen. In every sport. Bama, Clemson, Ohio state. Patriots for so long. Chiefs now. Jordan bulls. Lebrons teams. When you are elite things just go your way and you get the benefit of the doubt.

 

[HalfullVol]

yep, Im curious to see how much comes out when Saban finally retires and Bama goes back to the Mike DuBose years of sucking.

we can only hope

 

[Catbone]

Sure... When the season starts and the players take the field.

Taking our superior talent and beating those teams should be Heupel's top priority as a coach.

As a recruiter, there is no reason to lower ourselves to those standards. Every coach we have ever had has out recruited those teams and there is no reason to lower the bar for JH now.

I think in the past we could do that. It's different now. Thanks to NCAA and lack of recruiters on this staff so far.

That’s the way we are suppose to be handling business.....it’s part of the reason we struggle

He was arrested in Louisiana. Took some finagling.

Errybody bisching about Plowman are going to find she headed off the worst by doing her job.

Fantastic news on both....Amazing what happens when you fire everyone and not retain anyone....Great to also see NFL guys interested in the DC job
