Not with Charlies Fla HS powerhouse connections..at least for defensive players. With a really good offensive staff, he would kill it at UT. He is not able to get those kids to UL, but that is not a fair assessment of his recruiting of defensive player abilities.

He recruits good offensive players too. Teddy Bridgewater etc.

CP had enough ability that under the right coaching could probably win the Heisman.
Thoughts?

If he was a freshman, I think he could win it as a junior

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I never ever said that. We spend the most on recruiting for a reason. It's needed. However we can no longer rely on tradition anymore because of how bad we have been. Hire right UT is ok, hire wrong, and we may never be good again

Have you guys considered how similiar we are to ND? When we suck it takes a lot longer to come back because of our national recruiting dependance. But when we get a good recruiting coach that gets us rolling, we are really good for a while. People were saying a couple of years ago that NDs star had fallen to far, and they were never going to regain prominence.....WRONG! All it takes is the right coach.

Nah...sometimes you gotta wade through the garbage to find treasure. Just don't give up and get cynical, and you can find happiness. :good!:

Well thank you sir,:hi:

and if they win they could be good for a very very long time... .

Yes..but it is harder to recruit elite defensive players simply because there are nowhere near as many. Getting them to UL en mass is almost impossible. At UT he would get both IMO.

100% agree. Best comparison to UT around

Absolutely. He would win big here.

 

[Escape Goat]

Goodnight everyone. I'm tired

 

[Dudleys87]

Not like it really matter whether it be Strong or Gruden ill still be a fan.

Would be interesting to see who Strong brought in to run his Defense though...

Maybe..he would have to work harder though. I think he will be a bust in the NFL unless he gets his a$$ in gear.

Could be but he wont be to far from the highlight reel...

adios amigo :hi:

Later, Goat.

Reggie bush was a walking highlight reel at USC..in the league...not so much. Bush>Patterson. Highlights are great, but it is what happens between those moments that is the difference in a flash in the pan, and a superstar.

 

[Dudleys87]

Would it have made any difference if Charlie were here?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Would it have made any difference if Charlie were here?

As far as...?

 

[Dudleys87]

As far as...?

Coaching, ect.

 

[Dudleys87]

19 more and its 7,000.

Is anybody else too lazy to read a post longer than about 3 sentences?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Coaching, ect.

Oh yeah..I think so. The defense would be the strength of the team instead of the worst in CFB.

Count this guy in.

I used to think that long posts had good stuff in them then after about the second one i read i realized the poster just spread the bs out a little farther.

If only we had their schedule.... No way ND would make it thru ours and be n title contention

Only when written by hacks like you... Just kidding.
