I believe this is CCS first season as a college coach and it's still early in the process if you still consider NSD to be in FEB. He will get his commitments. His work with NFL players almost guarantees this. Keyword is Almost. It's not everything to have worked with NFL players, but it helps your appeal as a coach.

Chuck Smith is a terror on the recruiting trail. He already is and will be one of the best in the country. He is the sole reason you guys are in the game for Lonnie Gosha.

I'm just going to go ahead and make this generalized statement, and the people it is directed at will know who they are. If you believe Chuck Smith was "a towel boy" and simply "an ordinary assistant coach", then you are a fool. Rex Ryan brought him on to teach his D-Linemen how to get better and oh boy did it ever work. The #1 defense in football. You think you know more than Rex Ryan? Osi Umenyiora? Derrick Morgan? Albert Haynesworth? Patrick Kerney? They are all elite defensive coaches or All-Pro D-linemen. They all went to Chuck Smith for help improving their game. They didn't go to him because they needed a towel. Get real. I'm sick of reading all these lame ass jabs at Chuck.

Nobody said Smith can't coach. Most of the concerns with him are in recruiting. If you don't get the players, it doesn't matter if you have the coaching ability of Vince Lombardi.

Nobody huh? Well it sure seems like this guy is saying Smith didn't do a damn thing with the Jets

Exactly. Being Rex Ryan’s towel boy goes a lot further than it used to.

With Orgeron things were improving, and with Smith things will improve on the D-Line. After a year or two, both will be considered Elite D-Line coaches. I just don’t don’t get the obsession over him when he is yet to land a single commitment.

How many had Orgeron landed this time last year?

I think this kid is just telling people what they want to hear. Probably a pipe dream but the same could've been said for DaRick and Hunter last year.

CEO was my least favorite coach on the last staff. with that said, he had J. Smith, R. Broussard, and J.C. Copeland at this time last year. it would only be a few weeks before J. Brown and P. Harris committed too. obviously three of them are not Vols now (although Copeland wouldve been had it not been for the coaching change).

so by that count, a for sure 3.

Smith was a Vol from birth. Broussard was an unranked nobody with bad grades. Brown and Harris both JC DT's that obviously could not make the grades. Copeland would have been the only player I would have been excited about unless Orgeron could have convinced the University that they needed a new Liberal Art's Major in Pottery Making because that is the only way 3 of them would have gotten in. Orgeron is all smoke and mirrors. He does a fine job of recruiting to a National Powerhouse that can pick and choose from top talent in his state. It's not like Ole Miss is loaded with top D-line talent... :twocents:

I think Chuck Smith will be better than O, but to say Ole Miss didn't have top talent on their defensive line the last 2 years is going to get you labeled as misinformed.

The disdain and lack of confidence some of you have for a current coach that is in his first year on a college staff and first year recruiting, but by all accounts who is also doing a fantastic job of getting us noticed by prospects, is pathetic...not to mention the guy bled for our school.

I imagine you are the guys that wilt under pressure or concede because a rival has more talent or give up when the going gets tough.

I think so far he is doing a good job considering this is his first time doing the recruiting. DLine prospects better pay attention. He has the NFL connections.
