Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[3rdDegreeVol]

Question: does anyone know when the ‘25 counters per year’ cycle starts over? I’m curious to know when someone from the transfer portal could count towards next year’s class.

Per academic year. An athlete who enters school after the first term can count either in the current academic year or the next academic year.

I disagree. The longer we have no resolution means OSU is pitching him hard and he is considering it. The longer it drags out, the more likely he stays at OSU.

Fair enough

I don't think we're going to be announcing the full coaching staff at the basketball game on Wednesday

I see your point, but it would be much easier to be successful defensively up 14-0 in the 1st quarter than down 14-0..

We'll see how much the former happens over the next three years.

I think it’s way easier for Day to convince him to stay than it is for us to convince him to leave.

After thinking about he will stay. Way more upside.

You have to choose wisely or be really confident in your abilities in your first big job. People always remember your failures even if it is 4 jobs later. Look at Steele attempts to be a HC. Baylor 20 yrs ago always haunts him. So if you take your first DC job and fail then you probably never get that shot again.

Given how our offense is going to operate, there's a very slim chance of defensive success here.

If he ultimately wants to be a HC, Co-DC with a yearly playoff team probably gets you there faster than giving up 30+ points a game for a team scratching for 6 wins.

Yeah it seems like we should go after someone who is used to dealing with high tempo. Would be super risky for both parties to get a young unproved defensive coach, even though I love that washington is an elite recruiter (recruiting matters more for defense)

Go back to TAMU. Could you imagine a worse possible 2 months for UT? I'm not sure this entire process could be going worse. Getting turned down by a position coach for DC after DW taking his whole UCF crew.

We're a joke

When you hold someone to a 3 and out and there’s no expectation that your offense will reward your effort...it wears you down fast. We glimpsed that dynamic.

I believe the only way he takes this job is if he is just itching for a P5 DC job with a high ceiling. Most everything else is stacked against Tennessee.

I just don’t think it makes sense for him. He seems to have the inside track to DC job once Coombs is done and I doubt Coombs is a long term guy there.

For sure - need someone acclimated to this style of play.

The problem is there are only a handful of guys who have had sustained defensive success while the offense plays at this tempo - and how excited are we going to be to pull one of them from North Texas, Tulsa or Kent State?

I talked to an OSU friend of mine and Coombs is probably longer term than we think. I said earlier I thought he would head back to the NFL, but apparently that's not his goal. But yes, I think Washington as the inside track to be a DC somewhere soon and at OSU eventually.

Exactly....and on the flip side, a couple of score lead allows your defense to pin the ears back a little.

I don’t think we are turned down by matters.... it is what we end up with that matters.

["It's Time"]

Looks like the coaching turnover has finally come home to roost on hires below the HC level. The schools are easily able to point out how coaches have had their careers nuked by coming here.

We’ll see what happens. They are definitely struggling to find someone.

Side note: Kevin Steele can GTFO, we have enough problems to deal with besides someone staging hostile takeovers behind the HC back.

I am alum and have been on campus recently - at least I think I was in Jonesboro. lol.

The stadium and football complex are awesome.

 

[Catbone]

I don’t ignore anyone..... I meant the amount of people that’s turned us down.

Oh lmao

Kodi Burns is a decent recruiter at best

PLEASE hurry up and get Garner now

Love it when Christians make fun of people. Hilarious!
