I've seen posters call for the jobs of Heupel. Pope. Elarbee. Banks. And now the S&C coach because OL look fat? What do you think OSU OL look like? It's always been about the Jimmy's & Joes and always will be. It's about individual matchups and winning those. OSU has probably 12 NFL...

This x1000. Under the current landscape, it's super important to understand what you have/don't have in these youngsters. If it were me, I would know definitively if I wanted to pay (and how much) Jackson/Smith/Dodson at the end of the 2025 season. WR and RB are the two easiest positions...

OL recruiting from 2021-2023 was really bad. Considering the level of talent and the fact that UT was a playoff team, one could actually make a case in the positive for Elarbee. The highest rated OL recruit in that span was A. Nichols, who transferred before ever getting starting snaps. The...

This is a bad take. You don't have to like your position coach to be good. Your comment about D. Thornton looking better at Oregon is ridiculous. He went for 17/366/1 his Sophmore year at Oregon. Whether J. Smith likes Hartline or not, it has nothing to do with him being able to separate...

Top 3 isn't realistic with the combination of money and base of Texas/UGA. Top 3 would mean you have to beat out everyone else, which simply isn't feasible for UT. However, I do think UT should be recruiting better. If UT wants to be a big boy program, Barn/Clemson/Miami/Oklahoma can't...

So Sims is an amazing position coach because of the emergence of Sampson this year? Or is Sampson simply a great RB with or without Sims? My entire point is the effect of position coaches on player performance is grossly overvalued. Assessing talent is a completely different topic. The...

The DL was just as good, if not better in 2023 while the secondary was substantially worse in 2023. The change in performance was due to the players (specifically Gibson/McCoy). The point I'm making is there is too much emphasis on position coaches. It's about the players.

There is way too much emphasis on position coaches on this board and the results from season to season. Martinez is the perfect example. He was the unanimous coach to be let go from 2021-2023, now he is great because our secondary played well, specifically the CB's. What changed...

While I don't agree with the OP about Heupel flaming out, your last sentence is silly. Under this notion, losing Sampson prior to this year wouldn't have been that big of a deal. Or losing Hyatt prior to the 2022 season wouldn't have been that big of a deal because their production the year...

Are you saying UT is set up in the same manner as how Belichick will set up his operation at UNC? If so, someone is struggling at their "GM" role.

This. CFB is changing, and with that change is opportunity. Major programs should (will) have an entire department dedicated to scouting players from other teams and especially lower level programs. There have always been lower level FBS and FCS athletes that make it to the NFL (especially...

On3 seems to be the only service worth following anymore with recruiting rankings. They are very different from the other 2 on rankings and most of the time they are right - looking at prior years rankings.

This has been UT/UGA from the beginning. If it's now UT/Bama... this is a wrap.

They won’t take 5 WR. Dodson & Jackson + 2 more. VQ started the Sparks waiting too long chatter, so they must feel good about some elite WR’s…
