Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BleedorangeinGA]

Screw it! I've had time to digest it all and I'm all in on him. Lets give this guy a chance. Hell maybe we got a deal on him and we can go after some major coaches.

Welcome to the full wool club. The waters fine.

Salt and then new transfer but probably not Bailey. I doubt Baily runs much RPO, but I honestly don't know.

Bailey threw a lot of RPOs in high school and was lethal doing it because he's accurate and makes good reads.

JH has developed two NFL QBs I believe with Sam Bradford and Drew Lock

 

[FBtime]

We have some really good young skill players on offense. Hopefully he brings his OL coach Glen Elarbee. The guy seems to be a great OL coach and has been nominated twice for Frank Broyles assistant coach award. Just need to nail down the defensive coaches with quality high dollar hires (i.e. NOT Randy Shannon).

Glen Elarbee - Assistant Head Coach for Offense/Offensive Line - Football Coaches - UCF Athletics

It's really quite simple:

 

[Jimmy Football]

We’ve gone from: “Steele will kill the program” to “moar Steele!”

 

[UTK]

Give it up. lol

Give what up lol I'm just genuinely curious

 

[Weezer]

meh, Maybe this turns out to be a great hire. I HOPE it turns out to be a great hire. But right now, I feel like...

Gonna take a break and go look for my optimism. Maybe I left it in my coat pocket?

 

[windrider]

I see what your saying but we have to hope for better than that. This coach needs to get us back to competing and winning SEC championships..this bridge coach idea just won’t work for us.

We wont know what we have for the next 2-3 years considering the mess this program is in. I wont call him a bridge coach until or unless he proves otherwise. Support him and the program and maybe we will have the stability we need.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I’ve had time to digest it. I’m all for making Saban throw his headset on the sidelines. Give us a good DC and let’s roll.

Butch wasn't a specialist on either side of the ball. Heupel also followed a guy who built up a program, but at least he's highly regarded as an OC/playcaller/QB developer.

That would be dandy if he were hired to be an OC/play caller/QB developer. How is he as a HC/recruiter?

 

[Kingston Vol]

One of TB's radio guys just said there is a good chance get a QB from UCF in the portal.

I would be surprised if it is Gabriel or any starters - he apparently didn't have a team meeting telling them he was leaving. They're pissed.

I want our guys to be our Qb. They are plenty good and deserve it

 

[05_never_again]

I think Heupel would have turned down this job were it not for DW being AD. I think any coach needed a lot of reassurance, and he knew he could trust DW.

Oh yeah, totally. DW was probably up front with him about the trouble the program is in, and will probably give him a really long leash.

 

[ATC_VOL]

The more I read the better I feel, especially some of the stuff the players have said.

 

[Aesius]

Well, he's 28-8 and recruited at roughly the same level as O'Leary and Frost.

 

[volswillrise12]

Let’s be honest with the way our fanbase is 70-75% of ya’ll were never going to like whomever Danny White hired...it’s funny how people question the guy that has athletic administration and college athletics in his blood quite literally one of the best ADs that we could have landed...we all loved Phil because “he is Tennessee football” yet he probably authored the worst hire in school history. If we left the coaching hire up to our “fans” we’d be in worse hell with the NCAA then we are now. The fans expectations and reality of the situation are two entirely different beasts.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I like this kids attitude, he’s been constant since he’s been here

Hyatt as well, both are dogs who just work

[Catbone]

UCF averaged being 110th in penalties per game since 2018 when JH got there. Yikes

 

[eVOLve]

Both of which suck/ed in the NFL. Bradford was a heisman.

Edit: I’m saying Heupel knows how to get the most out of a QB.

 

[BigSteve09]

From UCF fan:

Have fun watching the following:

1st down: inside run/screen pass

2nd down: off-tackle run/slant

3rd down: long bomb and pray

But in fast

Butch wasn't a specialist on either side of the ball. Heupel also followed a guy who built up a program, but at least he's highly regarded as an OC/playcaller/QB developer.

Butch wasn't a specialist?

He coached every single position on the offensive side of the ball except OL. He interned at the NFL, won 4 conference championships, was WR coach during Rich Rodriguez's high-flying WV days. Plus like I alluded to, he had way more experience as a HC over Heupel. Heupel's been a HC for three years in one of the most talent-rich states in America and has obviously regressed as a program.

 

[05_never_again]

People seem to be calming down now, but we'll have another meltdown when UCF hires Freeze or some other candidate that is more exciting that Heupel. UCF people aren't sad to see Heupel go.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Just wanted to come in here and say “I am glad Money was no issue” in this hire. What a joke.

Now that is off my chest at least the guy has high scoring offenses.....
