Also, if McCoy doesn't play this year, he needs to be a stud in workouts and at the combine to make his pick make sense. Needs to show he still has IT and hasn't lost a step. Don't get me wrong. I love the kid and want the best. But if I'm an NFL GM using a first round pick, I want to be sure of what I'm getting.

No way I'm spending a first round pick on someone who's shown no film after an acl injury

That's why you're not a NFL GM or owner... They look at the big picture not the small sample size. NFL teams have the best medical staffs money can buy. So IF McCoy grades well at Combine and personal workouts and passes the teams physical, he will be a 1st round pick... .

Go Bucs.

Really surprised this isnt in the old Brooks Gym.

The old stomping grounds. Oh, those cracked floor to ceiling mirrors, no AC, and mismatched weights were baller. Loved the cables that attached to nothing, and greasy medicine ball.

you're talking to the wrong person.

let's talking about feelings, waaaay over there. pro athletes would make it two words in before the world's smallest violin popped out for a performance.

the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ emoji is next.

A small percentage of teams are good at prognosticating how talented players will end up being in the future.

Owners and GMs screw up the draft all the time. I could have drafted better than the Titans' previous GM.

Do you not think a coach that early in his tenure deserved a little more leeway? If you go back and look at my post back then, you could nary find a criticism other than Tim Banks.

I'll answer that after I say this - it has nothing to do with how much leeway is deserving and when. It's a cherry-picked stat made to look like things are bad when they aren't, or insinuate things won't get better or can't.

Now:

I think a coach deserves the same amount of leeway now as then. I think it's bonkers to run off a successful coach in less than 10 years tbh. It's not like he's having a losing season. It takes more than 3-4 years to get things straight.

We like to talk about what has "ruined" college football. Pre-90s (heck even into the 2000s) most coaches got 5-10 years to establish their program and figure things out. The way fanbases and ADs have handled coaches from 2010 to now is absurd. Yes, stakes are higher, but the extra money and bigger stage doesn't mean that getting things right and turning things around suddenly happens faster. And its stupid to compare a situation like Heupel coming into Tennessee when he did to Les Miles replacing Saban at LSU, Kirby Smart replacing Richt, or Day replacing Urban Meyer (not saying you did - but these shouldn't be expectations we have).
