Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volatil]

Imagine just living in Tulsa and having an offer to ...

Not live in Tulsa

 

[Geronimo]

Is he hinting/preparing us or just throwing that out there?

 

[SmokinBob]

Need to get that last visit.

Any CBs in yet?

 

[Joe Dirt]

He's not bad but his quirks are irksome. Everyone has a nickname, and they are the worst nicknames imaginable. They are awful. It's almost as bad as Rucker introducing the 247 podcast as "lunch time, brunch time, hiring a coach time, getting ready for spring time, I'm a dork time," etc.

I could literally hear this post. My skin hurt.

Get the DC from either Louisiana, UAB, or Tulsa and let's go!

David Reaves from UAB truly isn't a bad option... Defenses consistently ranked pretty high - I know, not SEC caliber competition, but still. I actually would prefer this over Washington. He's been with Bill Clark a long time though... Might be hard to break up the band.

Some Ohio State folks on Twitter still talking about how Washington hasn't decided yet.

I know we're trying to move on. But I just can't hear the fat lady's song yet.

Alabama board thinks Henry T is coming. Don’t shoot the messenger.

I would be excited over this hire. When we played them not long ago, his defense was coached very well and held us in check for a while. I was impressed. I think their defense that year was one of the best in the country.

First it was the coaching search and now the DC search, I’m like

You’re a clown, Bass. And you’re outta here.

If so, that will just better prepare UT fans for Ty Simpson committing there on the 19th.

These dudes def paid off someone to get themselves to the front of the vaccine line.

They have not a care in the world.

I just found is strange that the NFL had cardboard cutouts in the stands because of Covid and the players have total disregard for anyone's safety by partying after the game. I'm sure the stadium would have been sold out without the Covid restrictions.

Seems about right. I’m almost unfazed by any bad news now.

He knows nothing

What if this is the type of DC Heupel wants? And what does money matter?

How does JH know what type of DC Washingon is if he’s never been one? Seems like I gotchee (John Bean reference).

 

[Rizzo924]

It shouldn't take 4 days. You can only sweeten the pot so much. If he wants on it should have happened. Seems like the ship has sailed, no other way to explain the holdup that I can think of.

 

[butchna]

What happened to the Tulsa 3-3-5 DC?

Still there. He could be already hired...or never in consideration.

There is a YUGE difference in the Saban hire and us trying to hire Washington.

Can honestly say Oklahoma is terrible. OK gives Mississippi a run for its money in worst state in the union.

At that time Saban had one NC and a bad NFL record. And 4 days is a YUGE difference from 38.

No you really didn’t get anything. Either way obviously JH sees something in AW that he likes and would compliment his offense.

No clue

Question. Have you ever had to hire a defensive coordinator at the P5 level?

And Reeves 2018 salary at UAB was only $191,500. Probably making more now, but I doubt an astronomical amount more.
