Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

We could do worse than Willie Martinez coaching DBs. Kind of like this last three years.

The offensive staff seems like this quiet, young, innovative, tenderfooted staff that we assembled from Apple and Google...

Aaaaand the defensive staff was assembled at a biker bar.

Tenderfooted?

One vibe I get from all are they are good dudes the kids will probably enjoy playing for and play fast and relaxed. Guys people enjoy being around. Pruitts staff just seemed like a bunch of azzholes thst thought they were too good for you

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

I love that his staff believes in him and the system enough to follow him...hope it translates to quick implementation.

I like the vibe they put off as they all get along and that numerous assistants said that coach hype was always open to suggestions! But in reality none of it will matter if they can't get the players to buy in and put forth the effort to learn the new system.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Damn he sucks not good when he was here before, going to be in trouble if this what kind of assistants Banks is going to hire

lol

WM Era is overshadowed by like 2 deep balls against the Gators. Neither of which had anything to do with coaching and everything to do with players messing up.

In 2013 we were 36th in completion percentage allowed, 28th in passing yards allowed, and 33rd in INTs per game
In 2014 we were 15th in completion percentage allowed, 22nd in passing yards allowed, and 25th in INTs per game
In 2015 we were 9th in completion percentage allowed, 49th in passing yards allowed, and 67th in INTs per game
In 2016 we were 33rd in completion percentage allowed, 72nd in passing yards allowed, and 70th in INTs per game

2016 was Shoop's first season here as the DC too, part of the reason numbers dropped I'd say was new play calling.

Thank you for this. I was trying to find some stats, but got caught up.

Did @SpringBokVol ever pay @Ron Swanson that $100?

Not yet. Where’s my Benjamin?! @SpringBokVol

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Hubbs will be very surprised if Kevin Simon gets one of the linebacker spots.

Lol what was this bet for?

Now do 2017-2020...

He didn’t think Pruitt would be fired. I did.

He changed the trajectory of Justin Coleman’s career moving him to nickel. Coleman then goes on to be highest paid Nickel in NFl when he signed a deal a yr or two ago. Cam Sutton praised Willie M in his draft interviews as being critical to his development. Dolphins coaches raved about Richie Grants development at Senior Bowl and Flores specifically pointed him out as most impressive player he coached.

I do recall frustrations of the 50/50 balls not getting head around but I also recall typically having really good coverage

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I mean it's all related to the rest of college too.

In Pruitt's best season here we finished 10th in INTs per game, which sounds amazing we averaged 1.2 a game that year. In both of WM's first 2 seasons we also averaged 1.2 a game but his teams finished 33rd & 25th.

Banks needs to bring two of his own guys. Can always have Simon in other roles helping

Yosemite Sam is the funniest cartoon character of all time.

[SweetasSoda]

He didn’t think Pruitt would be fired. I did.

Ahhh, remember that now. Also remember everyone getting jumped that wanted to talk about it.

 

[drvenner]

Foghorn Leghorn

I say, I say, he's up there. Hilariously funny.

 

[drvenner]

Fine!....but you take a tap for replying.

See you on the track.

 

[SpringBokVol]

So that closes the book on JJ.

I’m pulling for KS at the LB spot

Simon not Steele

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I’m honestly not upset with this hire. Our DBs were not as bad as stated under Martinez. Plus, I’m sure he can teach them to guard a slant.....

 

[SweetasSoda]

I'm not sure we know how to handle this.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Not yet. Where’s my Benjamin?! @SpringBokVol

I totally forgot about that - given all the drama around here.

How do you want to get paid?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I don’t remember but did Martinez get any highly rated DB’s when he was here previously

He definitely got us sanctioned by the NCAA for impermissible face to face contact. But we stopped recruiting that individual so it was a stupid thing.
