Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

How many D/C do you not have to google?

0. i literally have no idea who any of these people are. truly outside of ETSU and or TN i dont follow sports much. I sarcastically follow CMU athletics...make sense?

i did watch Kvitova get beat last night @ the Aussie. great match.

Getting into EPL soccer more.

Of course they do. But like you said, he’s at Osu. He stays there and he can get a raise and promotion and catapult that to a HC job. Or at minimum a DC job at an established place that’s ready to win. If JH doesn’t win, he’s fired in 3 years and likely back to being a position coach.

I hear you. Just worn out with seeing so many in here throw our own program under the bus over and over. The reality is, we made positive changes to the bones of this program and are trying to start fresh. Maybe we get hit with NCAA stuff down the road. I see that that's a problem. But we did everything we could possibly do to mitigate those future punishments.

The perception is we are a dumpster fire. But the truth is we WERE a dumpster fire. And then we cleaned house. These new leaders are not the same leaders we had before. We don't know what we are yet.

Good one equals Gooden to Basilio.

I guess lol it’s actually goodIN and not good one but okay

 

[Devo182]

You missed the point clearly


DCs aren’t judged on wins and losses. There are judged by their side of the balls stats.

Washington could be our DC and we win 9-10 games in the next few years and with our offensive scheme his stats would still suck and thus he “failed”

that’s why the DC job here being a “success” is about as likely as the vandy HC winning

Not if one looks at efficiency stats, which always should anyway.

 

[Vols4us]

How ironic would it be that Napier turned us down for HC and we might steal his DC, who is really good.

I'll take it. Toney's a future star. Nice career progression.

All offense, no defense

Based on what exactly? Also, it’s been said on here that defense doesn’t matter anymore. So.....

 

[pismonque]

Too bad for them that the south doesn't have a compact on Tennessee river water like the western states do the Colorado.

California has literally sucked the West dry.

Nah, it's not just California. California's allotment is almost 30% of the whole thing, which is larger than any other state's, but ⅔ of that goes to agriculture in the Imperial Valley, which ships produce all over the US and other countries. And being at the end of the line, California does benefit from surpluses, although those are drying up, which is why the coastal cities from LA to San Diego are doing their damnedest to grab that ag water for themselves.

Really, the whole Colorado River allotment system is a mess and because there are 7 states (and Mexico) involved, all the competing self-interests make it really hard to fix.

You've got farmers in the upper basin who are incentivized by use-it-or-lose-it rules to flood fields with water they don't need to protect their allotments. Utah is trying to divert an immense chunk to the fast-growing St. George area to incentivize the growth without responsible conservation efforts. And then other factors play into it, like Arizona farmers who grow cotton with way higher water use and less demand than other crops but is supported by farm subsidies which make it a better money move. And so on.

It's all ugly. Historically, I'd say Mexico has gotten screwed more than anyone.

Does Stella run a 3-4, 4-3, or 3-3-5?

 

[BruinVol]

I’d be curious to know what DC has moved up the ladder into a head coaching job that had poor pts per game and overall stats but got hired for having good efficiency stats ??

 

[KPT_VFL]

We don’t need a DC

 

[volsnvikes]

We don’t need a DC

Heupel going all in on the best defense is ALL offense.

 

[volinbama256]

Mason at Auburn as DC will do very well, forgot about that... he will do very well on the recruiting trail...


UT---- McGoogle at DC it is!

 

[jp1]

sure he could go back if he failed but why take a job that increases the likelihood of failing


It’s like vandy trying to hire Tony elliot. Under no circumstances should anyone like that take a job they are likely to fail at.

James Franklin was likely to fail at Vandy when he went. Look how that turned out. Confident people don't think they are going to fail. If that is his mindset, maybe he isn't the guy.

 

[Catbone]

Oh my GOD are we about to have a 30 year old who has only been DC for a year at LOUISIANA turn us down? LMAOOOOOOOO

 

[TN-POSSUM]

 

[UTSuave’]

Hell!...just let @HankHill have the damn job!...atleast he knows defensive schemes

 

[CornFlake]

Holy crap what is going on..

Franklin and GerryD only two coaches that have fallen upward there

with countless fails

There are a lot of stars that aligned for Franklin at Vandy. He had a boat load of redshirt juniors and seniors and the worst ever uga uf ut in decades. He didn't positive think those things into existence, he got extremely lucky. Look at how bad the roster was that he left compared to the one he inherited.

This sort of topical expertise and application of nuance and subtlety are not allowed here. Be gone!

RIP Larry Flynt...thought you were already dead.

 

[BloodShovel]

So is Kevin Steele staying on staff in some kind of role with whoever is hired as DC? It sure seems that way to me for now.

 

[Sleegro]

RIP Larry Flynt...thought you were already dead.

Ok Jimmy. Wait he was still alive?

 

[engineerVOL]

RIP Larry Flynt...thought you were already dead.

He’s definitely dead now.
