Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Reading comprehension would benefit you. It has nothing to do with Nico trying to extort the program. I've had these doubts since the end of the season. I'm just now expressing them. I see holes in the roster that I'm not sure we've adequately addressed, and that falls on the HC.

I hate this so much. We haven’t seen this level of success in two decades with the NcAA breathing down our necks and CFB changing drastically and people are ready to can the coach because he isn’t recruiting in the top 3.

I remember not long ago we were saying we would never be spoiled again like Dawg and Bama fans and here we are.

I like Heup. He wins. He isn’t a d-bag. He’s super smart.

Is he perfect? Is he Saban? No, but who would we get that is? If he keeps us in the top half of the SEC with runs like the last few years, let’s ride with him. He will get his due.

I read it, but I’m not sure HCs can be blamed for their rosters in this era. Collectives and players themselves, and the competition, may have more to do with it. I can understand a desire to have a general manager and more structure around player acquisition in this era.

About to say something very unpopular. Let me preface it by saying this is not because of the Nico situation.

I'm beginning to doubt Heupel. Again, not because Nico is trying to extort more money. I keep looking at the bigger picture of roster construction and recruiting, and I'm not sure he's done well enough at either to take us to the next level. I want to believe he can, but the doubt is there. Not wanting to fire him. He's our coach at least until probation is over. But when probation is over, and all the hand cuffs are off, I think he'll really need to prove himself. 2022 created a lot of high hopes for me, but we've not seen the same QB play since. And both Milton and Nico were picked by Heupel, whereas Hooker fell into his lap.
Smh..
 
Honestly, If chatter about how good Merk has been looking are true. I wouldn't mind Merk starting and spending that money on other offensive weapons or stout linemen to back him up.

Everybody knows that Nico has been overrated to this point. Was hoping he would take a major step forward this year, because if not, he's possibly the most overrated TN QB in my lifetime.
 
The reasoning behind his (family) chose this time, is reason enough for me to done with it. Now let’s see the aftermath.


Edit: when I’m done with something, I’m done. VOLS fan should know this by now.
Can't believe you're not gonna do anything about @TN-POSSUM doxxing you, Rhonda.
