From my perspective there are several who begin to lean forward almost every play. I have noticed it since the AP game. Posted via VolNation Mobile

I agree with you to an extent, my only concern is if the spread is where we are going, what about the Freshman/Sophomores who fit the spread? In rebuilding mode, shouldn't the focus be on coaching the players up to the system the coach believes in (and won championships with), even if the...

This is where my line of thinking lies. The only issue I have is there is a gap somewhere in this process. Maybe they need a Dave Ramsey intro course to budget food and what stipends they do get.

Playing a bit of devil's advocate, but one kid goes to sleep full with a clear conscious and the other goes to sleep hungry or a cheater. That not fair trade...

You know, I would agree with your statement from a fan perspective... but how many players are on the take now and just haven't been named? And most players are want some type of compensation, so I don't believe that this will serve as a distraction to the team. At first glance, this...

Well said, we say they get a "free" education, but they can't go to a cookout or have anyone pay it forward to them? Anytime I was hanging at my friends house they gave me food, brought take out home etc. But this organization says, no you can't be normal on that simple of a level. I am not...

I like this post and is mostly well thought out. 2 questions though: Is it ethical to have RICH (not just a little) businessmen profiting from those who can barely eat (I fully recognize better decisions could have been made by AF to avoid "starving")? I had the meal plan each year I was on...

Are you saying he ate all the evidence? :olol:

You definitely have a valid point. My hope is his desire to be here will translate to his effort to not fail to build our program back. We will know pretty early how well he will do. If he puts a good staff in place then at least he is off on the right foot.

I am in the same boat. 2 things about him makes me think it will be a good hire. 1. He wants to be here so much he turned down 3 other jobs at the chance of being hired here. 2. He obviously knew where he was on the list and knew that those in front of him would likely say no. Looks...

I completely agree with your assessment on best coach then best coordinators. I just question Gundy's big game ability meaning I am not sure what his ceiling is as a coach, but his 3-13 record against the two biggest rivals he has does not give me confidence he can compete with UF, Bama, UGA...

He took over an Oklahoma State team that had been built and coached by Les Miles. He didn't start out from ground zero. He has had 8 seasons to prove his worth against the best of the best. In 2011, he captured lightening in a bottle and had a great season with some quality wins. Outside of...

I agree there was a gap of irrelevance between the Barry Sanders era and the last few years. He would bring an "Air Raid" offense which lends to greater pressure on the defense. His strengths and our weakness could lead to another disaster. I was onboard with Gundy until I looked up his...

Since 2008 Gundy is 10-10 verses top 25 teams. If you take out 2011, he is 5-10 against ranked teams with just 1 win against his two biggest rivals (Texas and OU) being the 2010 5-7 Longhorns. He is not able to get his team to consistently compete at a high level. He had a great year...
