Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Sandman Vol]

I wonder if they hold off until after the Music City Bowl to make an announcement?

Why? Doesn’t have to coach it. Quick hire shows stability, intention, and will get momentum building quicker. Need the new guy recruiting current roster, portal, and hs ASAP.

Got a favor from the VN prayer warriors.

Last week I was at my sons in Kansas and I got side swiped in a parking lot. A really nice gentleman offered to be a witness that I was stopped and the other driver hit me. I was driving my son’s car so I didn’t want to have to file on his insurance since he is a young driver.

Anyway when the other drivers insurance heard Doug’s view as the witness they took responsibility.

The prayer request is the nice Witness “Doug from Wichita” found out after he left the accident from his doctor that the eye he had operated on 5 weeks ago will have to be operated on again tomorrow to correct a detached retina.

Doug believes in the power of prayer and I know he would appreciate your prayers as he is really apprehensive about having to have a second eye surgery in 6 weeks.

I told him today I would ask prayer warriors I knew to life him up.

Thanks VN

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Few comments on here make me actually laugh out loud…this is one though! Well done!

Since @Jimmy Football gave up his VN RF DC hotboard custodian duties, he's had time to really hone in on his comedy skills.

I want the Dooley 4-3-6 Defense

Yeah that defense was sick. Lacked discipline and awareness tho.

Ryan Walters, Wikipedia. Coached in Memphis for a year.
View attachment 796901

Oh snap, that’s the guy who started getting stud DBs to Purdue out of nowhere. Beat Willie/Banks for a few kids iirc. Sign me up

 

[VolsCigarMan]

Now that CJH got his first time firing out of the way, S&C director needs to be next!

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Guy I know that is a big UDUB (literally the only Washington fan I know) fan told me earlier when I messaged him about Walters that he would be really upset if he left. Their fans like him a lot. Supposedly, a great recruiter and high energy guy.

We need a great recruiter on that side of the ball, especially for DBs, and REALLY NEED an energy infusion in our defense and entire team.

Done

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Former walk-on S Alex McLaughlin looks like their best player according to stats

Walk on safety you say…

 

[Go Fight Win]

i mean from my pov i cant see a single issue with walters seems like it would be the DC hire of the offseason. young and likely we give him a deal that keeps him here awhile

if we miss who are we thinking behind him?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Now that CJH got his first time firing out of the way, S&C director needs to be next!

Can I please have just a few hours to enjoy this one before I take on another project? Sheesh, you guys are relentless.

Huskies' 2025 report card: Ryan Walters leads defense to steady improvement

The Huskies defense looked formidable by the end of the season, but it didn't start off like that

thehuskyhaul.com

Would he come in and retain current staff? Is it possible? Not that it matters. But might be just the right fit? We’ve got one good coaches on staff. Would either be a glowing endorsement of condemning for Willie whatever would be chosen.

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Walters was a QB in high school. Switched to playing safety in college.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Don't know anything about Walters. Seems solid as a DC.

2025: (Bold is what is important to me)

Scoring Defense: tied 21st
Total Defense: 20th
Rushing Defense: 17th
Passing Defense: 50th
3rd Down %: 62nd
Sacks: tied 92nd
TOs: tied 77th

Would need to do the other years to form a true opinion. This is for informational purposes.

CRG/Chop will fix his sack numbers.

 

[JCVol00]

These are the rankings of points allowed for his teams as DC
2022 Illinois: 1st
2021 Illinois: 29th
2020 Missouri: 85th
2019 Missouri: 16th
2018 Missouri: 50th
While his defenses have struggled some years, you can’t completely ignore the good seasons he’s had.

If we had the 50th ranked scoring defense this year we would easily be in the cfp

Then special teams coach

 

[JCVol00]

2020 was a wash with most teams with the Covid opt-outs.

Not to mention that was Dorwitz’s first year at mizzou, so who knows what all was going on there

 

[Glitch]

Because I'm @frank 's favorite poster.

I won't tell you who his least favorite is. It would hurt your feelings.

Why would telling me @Jackcrevol is @frank 's least favorite poster hurt my feeling.


Yes. I only have one feeling. The Army made me turn the rest of them in and I never got them back.

 

[NMVol]

There's hope. You can always fractionalize the feeling you have left.

Texas A&M v Miami

The Notre Dame Custody Bowl

 

[VolMike16]

CRG/Chop will fix his sack numbers.

He would probably do work with the DL/Edges signed in the last 2 classes. Grab a few guys from the portal(wouldn't be opposed to some UW players) who fit what he wants to do.

 

[KB5252]

Dismal season? Good grief . How quickly some Vol fans forget. There was a time when we thought winning 8 games mean we were back.

Yes but this is also a good sign, expectations are now higher due to success.

 

[JT3]

Then special teams coach

Yea special teams was bad this year. Definitely should hire a proven coach there.

 

[SagginVawls]

13 pages since 3 P.M. and you mean to tell me we don't have a D.C. yet? You stinkin morans....

 

[drvenner]

Out of pocket all day. Happy to have it confirmed that we'll have a new coach in charge of our defense.
