Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

The coaching carousel is gonna be unprecedented this year. I just hope it doesn't hit our doorstep with Heupel being legitimately linked to any opening.

I'm the first to admit I'll focus on the frustrating parts of a game. But I don't want to even act like I'm interested in losing Heupel and heading into a coaching search.

Hell, I'll take 100% of the staff coming back before I even want to sniff him being poached. But there are going to be alot of schools searching after their coach leaves for another opportunity.

The reality is we have a great coach. Schools want his consistency and are going to come after him. We better sack up and realize it's coming. Hopefully our relationships are as strong as we believe they are and this is his destination job.

Ha!..we’re here for it buddy..we did it for over 10 years..these other schools are rookies 🤣🤣

Let’s take a quick look at our secondary:
Colton Hood rated as a 3* recruit and 3* transfer. He had one start on that vaunted Colorado defense.

Ty Redmond 3* true freshman

Jalen Mcmurray low rated 3* transfer from temple 2* high school recruit. He was not a stud at Temple.

Andre Turrentine: low four star high school recruit and 3* transfer that never saw the field at ohio state and was passed over by other recruits

Boo Carter: By far our highest rated secondary player but he has a horrible attitude and looks like he is giving half effort most of the time.

Edrees Farooq: mid 3* safety, first year starting

We need to put some money into our back end on defense. This secondary is a liability and couple that with the slight regression along the defensive line and this is the defense that you get.

I’m ok with moving on from Banks and getting a new voice/ideas in that room. Up until now, the complaints hadn’t matched what he had accomplished. Go Vols and figure it out enough to beat Ok, Florida, and Vandy. Especially Vandy, we can’t lose to those idiots.

Bump…this was a great post. I am not opposed to helping Tim Banks find a G5 head coaching job at the end of the season but he is far from the biggest issue.

DJ Durkin wouldn’t be having the success he is having with this group of players.

Been saying this. At the same time, I question Martinez's and Banks' abilities to recruit. For NIL to become a factor, we have to at least get some higher rated players on the hook, and they haven't seemed able to even do that. Higher rated secondary seems uninterested in coming here.

Rewatching the game...... At the end of the first qtr...... The triple fumble, laughed like I did watching it live.
I’ve always said that Kentucky is the only school that has more inexplicably bad bounces and weird things happen to it on a football field than us. They just find ways to lose football games.
 
Down in Nawlins for the week to pay off some lousy coach’s buyout. Current view…

Anyone got any good restaurant recommendations?

The person in control of who gets paid......... Again you're missing the point, the head coach is as much to blame as anyone.
Any excuse at all . You’ve done used abut 7 .
Yes it is on the HC too. The most successful HC’s in the business will fire a Subpar DC in a heartbeat.

Whether Heupel fires him or not doesn’t change the fact that he’s a Sub par DC.
