Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[JacketVol]

Not complaining about the offense, but what happened to all the motion and cool wrinkles we saw most of the game against Georgia? Did we only install those things for one game?

Less film for bama and did not need them for Arky but we did need to not just hand it off when we had the lead.

After yesterday, I'm not sure we deserve top 20. That was not a top 20 performance at home against a horrific team.

Go and watch the other top teams every week and tell me what you think of them. Hint: they have warts too.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

So the Basilio post-game crew brought up an interesting point. Would you be for firing Banks if it cost you Rodney Garner? In other words, the new guy doesn't retain him or he chooses to retire. I'm on the fence myself.

Love RG but he’s probably nearing retirement age anyway.

What if the new DC doesn’t retain Chop? Good with him bouncing too?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

He's only 35. . .




*he is pretty young for retirement

An SEC win, is an SEC win.

Inge will be the next DC

I was on this board this entire offseason, my brother. Absolutely no one was thinking Natty. I'm not criticizing anyone for thinking it now, but we have already gotten way more than most of us expected. I try and appreciate what I have rather than wasting any energy at all worried about what I don't.

Wasn’t implying others were thinking natty this year or the next but the end goal is a Natty..and for that to happen anytime soon we need a better defense and banks improve.I’m happy we’re 5-1 though

[Dadof2Vols]

It's probably wrong of me, but hearing James Franklin was fired warmed my heart.

Including the part about the 50m he is walking away with?

 

[peaygolf]

Those saying how great it would be to get paid $50 mill to not work don't understand the ego of these coaches and players. Legacy is what they want.............

Franklin is butt hurt right now and probably not at home smoking a cigar and basking in his glory. He'd give that money back to still be the HC at PSU.

That being said................He might not "hurt" in squalor, but he ain't happy.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Gilbert would've hit that from 65

Kiss of death.

It’s not just always ego either. Some people are driven to succeed in whatever field they choose and it will eat at their soul every second they don’t achieve.

Not everyone can comprehend it.

#17 Lady Vols volleyball moves to 13-2 (4-1) with a 3-0 win over Mississippi...

[drvenner]

I didn't want to talk about it after the win, but with the players we have on defense, there's no excuse for giving up 30 points per game. Why in the world do you keep running the same scheme on third and medium or long? It hasn't worked in 4.5 years; it's not going to suddenly start working now. It's ridiculously easy to call plays against. If he can't come up with something better on third down, then Banks needs to go.

 

[MrVolton]

Imagine if we could only be average at 3rd down defense.

 

[DD4ME]

We win next week, at minimum we should hop lsu, oregon (they havent beaten anyone), uga/miss loser, & bama.

Top 7 if we beat Bama at home.

 

[drvenner]

By the way, a just conference would discipline Kirby for clearly lying to the officials about calling a timeout. The fact that they definitely won’t should tell you all you need to know about the integrity of our league.

Frickin Jawja fans probably think it was clever. It wasn't.

 

[DD4ME]

Curious how many people think we will win next week no questions. If you are in that camp what is your theory or belief about how? I certainly think we can, but it's not a slam dunk to me. It would be a shoot out in my vision for victory and we'd just have the ball last.

 

[drvenner]

@drvenner
Brother, if you would have checked your team you would have beat me in fantasy today. Are you actually 5-2 just being idle?

Nope. I looked at it Monday and picked up some players. I didn't know Leavitt was going to be our and I didn't adjust my lineup on Friday like I usually do. First week I haven't had a full lineup

 

[knoxvol52]

Actually Western Michigan leads in sacks ..

 

[UpstateVol613]

I’m biased but I think nobody does coaching searches better than us.
