Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[NMVol]

Yeah, college football drama translates to advertising dollars. Is nothing sacred?

 

[TheRain]

 

[volfaninpa]

Yes.

Okay. You firing up the coaching search board? Kiffin holding out to return to UT?

 

[UpstateVol613]

Do we panic yet?

I think they get Daboll

 

[Jackcrevol]

Agreed, WRs weren’t really an issue this year.

Trenches, both sides. Staff better go apeshit in porthole.

Wonder what it would take to get Mack to come back as OC and bring Amari Odom with him?

 

[RandomUTfan]

What if I told you that none of Vitello, Heupel, or Barnes would be coaching at UT in '26?

I'd giggle.

 

[KB5252]

Do we panic yet?

Nope. If he leaves he leaves Not that I think he's looking or entertaining other offers, but the sun will rise.

 

[Sandman Vol]

They coach from the boxes because they get a better overall look of what's offense is doing...

I don’t care what the reason is. It’s not working. And their leadership on the field when push comes to shove is missed.

 

[Sandman Vol]

Got axed as OC at Oklahoma ..

Reread the question

 

[Jackcrevol]

Reread the question

you reread the question?

 

[KB5252]

This one is perplexing

 

[TheRain]

We may need some defense.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

PSU has been really quiet with their search and we know they've had some interest in Heupel.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Why would Garner go back to Auburn? Where did those rumors come from?

VQ has been talking about it all year. If the right coach was hired at Auburn he would go back. His wife is in Auburn. Almost went back when Freeze was hired. Hes close to retirement.

PSU has been really quiet with their search and we know they've had some interest in Heupel.

They couldn't hire Clark Lea from Vandy. I don't know why y'all waste time worrying about things that aren't even possibilities.

They’ve been quiet because they’re having a hard time finding someone. Supposedly, everyone they’ve targeted so far has told them no.

If I was Ole Miss I would look at Mullen

 

[EricberryFAN]

Anyone saying Mike needs to transfer don't know ball. You seen him drop a couple bad passes, sure? Did you see the impactful blocking, his route running, how he is as a teammate, his potential in this offense, some nasty catches he did have? You want him gone? That's about stupid. Our recruits should be allowed to have human mistakes without us calling for his head and making these kids feel like they're not wanted here.

I understand Boo's situation bc of his personality & his decisions during the season.

Lift Mike up, he doesn't deserve to be shunned and hope that he transfers. He is a good player and will be for another team if you push him away.

 

[GVol1966]

I think UGA is easily the best team right now. They toyed with GT and played conservative. They are very good right now

Stockton and the O is a lot better than people on here give them credit for.

When they play their best they are really good. They don’t always play their best though.

 

[knoxvol52]

I don’t care what the reason is. It’s not working. And their leadership on the field when push comes to shove is missed.

LSU appears at the moment to be putting all their eggs in the Super Coach basket - doing exactly what every rabid fan wants

Firing their national title winning coach after a couple of mediocre seasons. Hiring Brian Kelly away from Notre Dame in his prime, then spending $50M to fire him so they could hire Kiffin away from Ole Miss in his prime. Bold, bold moves conjured up from the viral passions of the LSU Tiger message board community.

If they don’t get a national title out of all of this - what should the average college football fan conclude about Super Coaches?

A real super coach Nick Saban was remarkably average in the NFL where he didn’t have vastly superior players and depth. Great coaches will magically have great players. Does anyone think Ryan Day beats Heupel if they swap rosters? Spend the money on players and suddenly your coach will be better.

They couldn't hire Clark Lea from Vandy. I don't know why y'all waste time worrying about things that aren't even possibilities.

Lea was never leaving Vandy. The guy is from Nashville and played at Vandy. As far as discussing Heupel and PSU (not worrying), it's certainly much less of a waste of time than reporting to this board every piss and moan from the UF board.
