Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Govolsman98]

This time next year we'll have made a bowl game 4 straight years...the first time in 20 years

Wow. Really shows we've been a horrible program for the longest time

 

[I4Jay]

I was hoping for a Big win for Napier bc I think his Job is in jeopardy. rather keep him around

 

[drvenner]

Florida and Mizzou.

Thanks for playing.

Mizzou beat us by 30, dude. Their transfer RB set Sec records against us. Really rife speculation with no foundation in fact.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Wow. Will this get Billy canned? Not sure how I feel about that? I want to see him stick around a few more seasons. All the same, can't wait to steal Mizzou's souls next season.

We don’t play Mizzou next year.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Good grief, let it go. You don't believe it. We get it.

Appreciate the great take. Apologies that my contradictory opinion triggered you.

 

[drvenner]

Was bemoaning this in the game thread. Halzle or Heupel are over thinking things. Wright had 2 carries until the last drive of the first half. This offense is stupid and not working.

I think it's limited and not stupid.

I agree. I think that loss the way they lost might be it for him.

They might be able to take advantage of FSU next week but it’s doubtful even with Travis out.

FSU’s backup looked a little shaky at times tonight. Florida is very average, but they’ve still got the athletes to steal that one.

 

[drvenner]

It's like nobody remembers last year or the 15 years of udder mediocrity before Heupel came.

 

[drvenner]

11-1 was on the table with better QB play.

Lol

 

[drvenner]

Appreciate the great take. Apologies that my contradictory opinion triggered you.

I'm not triggered. Just tired of people saying the same thing over and over. Do what you want. I think we're all feeling pretty crappy after today.

 

[drvenner]

We hired a guy who turned a 13-0 program into a 6-4 program in three seasons because we were desperate and his former boss couldn't convince anyone else to come here. We caught lighting in a bottle with Hendon, a QB our own head coach chose not to start over Joe in 2022. Last year was more likely than not the high water mark of the CJH era and we're stuck with this guy for another five or six seasons because of his contract. Get ready to be good again in 2031ish...maybe.

Didn't see you posting much last year. I wonder why. Who are you going to pull for since your boy Chip is out at UCLA.?

 

[drvenner]

You know we've had a pretty bad stretch when the Hillbilly starts posting in here again. I'm ready for the 4th or 5th incarnation of ChiefVol next

 

[drvenner]

If there is a handshake agreement that a 5* signee who the entire fanbase is drooling to see is gonna redshirt, then that needs to be public information.

Entitled, are we?

 

[drvenner]

Ah yes because a guy named “volunteerhillbilly” definitely deserves to know about a recruiting agreement between the hc and family of said player Jesus christ

He's salty because Chip Kelly got fired again.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Hatred for conference teams should be in this order....

1a. Alabama
1b. Florida

Blah
Blah
Blah


Missouri

No Bama should be alone at number one.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Just the fact that Florida is playing this much better than Tennessee is right now really ticks me off. This is proof that banks or someone needs to go.

We scored 7 points against Missouri bruh. how is that banks

 

[drvenner]

It amazes me at how quick people forget where we were and how far we have come. To be honest this team put up two bad games this year that they should have won, Fla and Missouri and got beat by the ones most thought they would. At the beginning of the year almost EVERYBODY said 10-2 or 9-3 with the possibility of 8-4 if things didn't go our way and guess what they didn't all go our way.

Now I'm reading this BS about fire CJH, who in the hell do you think we could just go get. Name one big time super successful coach in the country that has won national championships that would just drop everything to coach our team. Kirby Smart, Saban, Dey,, oh, I forgot Jimbo Fisher, lets get real for a moment, back off the ledge and think about what we're bitching about.

Do things need to be changed, yes. Will those changes be made, some I'm sure but not one person on this board goes to practices and is privy to what the coaches are saying among themselves about what we have talent wise and what we need. I feel fairly certain they know.

I don't think they have enough confidence in the QB to run the whole offense. I think the musical chairs that has been the OL hasn't helped and young WR haven't yet learned to get separation like last year.

The defense has been beat up and beat down. Lack of experience at LB and just the plain lack of ability to put the DB's in position to be successful is a problem that must be fixed in order to get to the next level.

We have a good coach and he knows what they need in order to be successful more than any of us do. It will take time....like it or not.

Florida yes. Missouri, no. They'rea good bit better than most everybody thought they would be

 

[drvenner]

What happens if the refs don't throw a holding flag on Slaughter's interception? Do we score? The crowd was electric at that point. Could Wright have busted another long run?

That flag, like most calls against us this season, was a game changer.

I hope the SEC is satisfied with the "punishment" they've dished out this season. The team and the fans have been screwed over by our conference. I hope Sankey is proud of what he's built. Jerk

We definitely still lose but the game does have a different feel if it's closer at halftime.

Missouri

Thanks for the insight. Had no idea.

 

[drvenner]

Can we get Pruitt back just to Coach the DBs?

Sure, because we had such dominant defenses when he was here.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

No Bama should be alone at number one.

I hate alabama. They are #1 for me, others have florida at #1. Either way, no one should ever want florida to win a game.

 

[drvenner]

He took a 3-7 program and turned it into an 11-2 program in 2 seasons and now its 2nd (tied) best season since Fulmer left...

Go drunk. You're home.

After we get back to 9 or 10 wins next year, he'll disappear again until we have an embarrassing loss. I've never seen him post when things are going good.

 

[drvenner]

Just got home from the game. Doubt I rewatch it. What's the consensus this week? Ref's? Burn the program down? Talent deficit?

Yep

Fair enough. But frustrated people are going to air their opinions, sometimes more than once. It’s part of being a fan and hating how these last two games have gone.
