Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[VolGee4]

We actually had an interesting schedule this year.

11 SEC road games
4 Neutral site games (1 was cancelled)

Kentucky played 18 home games and just 12 games away from Rupp (2 Neutral site)

Do you mean 11 true road games? You always play 9 in-conference road games every year.

You're right, 11 True Road games is what I meant. 2 weren't SEC.

You wish you were called to our Moran Summit each year. You need minimum 2x like/post ratio. We ride our Cheagles to the top where Frank holds our super secret meeting.

Fake news, everyone in the know knows to get to to the cheagle picnic you need 50k unread notifications.

Only communist block people.

Only a communist would try to tell me what I should or shouldn’t do with my blocking freedoms. How dare you.

If y'all don't get the worldle today then the basketball team is very disappointed in you

Georgia just now launching their NIL group… HTSI

After talking to people this morning, we believe Tennessee spoke with in-house candidate Kelsey Pope yesterday. At this time we still believe the two candidates with the most juice are FSU assistant David Johnson and Georgia Tech assistant Kerry Dixon. Both have experience in the SEC.

Seems we are only interested in black coaches. Doesn't seem like a fair/just hiring process.

The process and every process should be about best fit/available not best fit/available of a certain color.

Please, shut up.

Not if a black coach helps you recruit better.

This Georgia team isn’t good, but they aren’t 6-23 bad.

What a miserable coaching job by Crean.

It's crazy..they have really good talent, but that has to be one of the most discombulated teams I have seen in a while.

This seems like a really strange, out of place comment. Don't get it at all.

I mean, it’s not. We were literally told that they wanted a minority coach for DC. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re doing the same here. As long as it’s a good coach I don’t care

If we know who the finalists are, then I would argue that two are really good recruiters: DJ and Heard. Dixon recruited well at Florida also. Pope has never recruited anyone.

DJ would have been a great hire because of his recruiting connections and his coaching ability. He would have been great for the young guys in the room too. He can both develop and recruit and has done both at a high level. Dude put kids in the league from Memphis.

Pope may turn out to be the best WR coach in the country. But he could also be a poor hire because he has no experience. On this side of it, I'm disappointed if he's the guy because we could have had a more proven commodity. At the end of the day, it's WR coach and not OC so it isn't the biggest deal. But someone who could help us bring in talent would have been an upgrade to this staff.

Keep in mind Bass----all coaches got their start as a nobody somewhere. Saban was a nobody before someone gave him a chance to become what he is today

Not if a black coach helps you recruit better.

Former players are also desirable hires for this reason as well. I'm sure the age of these candidates is also playing a role.

I hear it’s not pope

That was what I thought when we got Wade Houston…. I was shown that is not always the case. LOL Most wide receiver coaches seem to be black which I have no issue at all with….. Players need coaches they can relate too… if skin color helps… I’m all for it…. Just win, baby.

Who is it?

This seems like a really strange, out of place comment. Don't get it at all.

Why? I think it's pretty obvious after following the process that ultimately landed on Tim Banks last year, and Randy Shannon before that, Danny White believes in diversity quotas.

 

[reVOLution33]

How is it strange and out of place? It's accurate.

And it goes along with White's push to hire a black head coach.

Just hire the best for the job, no matter color.

I hereby suggest that the next thread be titled "Mount Moran Talk" rather than "Recruiting Forum Football Talk xxx".

All in favor say "moran".

It's crazy..they have really good talent, but that has to be one of the most discombulated teams I have seen in a while.

They lost like 9 transfers from last year's team, and several are playing big minutes for good teams. Sahvir Wheeler (top 100 recruit) starts at UK, KD Johnson (top 100 recruit) starts at Auburn, Toumani Camara starts at Dayton, Tye Fagan has started some games at Ole Miss, Justin Kier has contributed some at Arizona, Jaykwon Walton went Juco and signed with Mississippi State.

That team coming back would probably have a winning record, so something is going on with the culture there. That may be the reason why Crean is not back.

I had no idea I was such a Marxist.

Same...

Without googling can you even name 5 white WR coaches though?

I legit can't...I think the candidates we're interviewing are part of the majority, not the minority for this specific coaching position.
