Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Sleegro]

I think Shaq Barrett, Jason Pierre-Paul, Ndamukong Suh, Olivier Vernon and a few others might know a few people from their old stomping grounds and be willing to vouch for their DC/DL coach. I think we underestimate the weight Super Bowl Champion and the testimony of NFL players carries.

I don't think this should minimize what you are trying to say, and I'm all for Kacy to be our DC, but in the interest of accuracy Shaq Barrett and JPP are OLBs. It's possible they spend time training with the DL too, but they rarely line up with their hand in the dirt like most DL. But Suh, Vea, and Gholston were outstanding and a big reason the LBs were so successful the last 2 years both in pass rush and against the run.

Gross if it’s Conklin

 

[wisvol22]

Were Green Bay and NO missing their tackles bc their O-lines were dominated too.

yes - GB was without 5x All-Pro LT David Bahktiari who tore his ACL three weeks prior which shifted their RT to LT and had a backup RT in. I’d argue it had big implications on the game.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Yep. They were great

honestly though the effectiveness of his unit this year doesn’t mean a lot to me other than it will make him great with recruits. It’s the DC experience he got in the NFL that fires me up and I don’t care what those results were. I’m sold

He's been trusted by Bill Parcells and Todd Bowles - anyone questioning his credibility is being silly.

 

[Brillovol]

Gucci like...

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Your arrogance is showing again.

Nice edit

 

[UTMVol76]

So what’s KR making at Tampa?

I just heard blainB on 104.5 say coming would double his pay but I never trust him

$570k/year according to McGoogle

 

[Gilbert]

Would Conklin move right now? He’s about to start a season.

 

[Sleegro]

We built it but we forgot to not wrap the foundation with det cord.

I am constantly forgetting not to wrap the foundation with det cord.

 

[pierce60]

Conklin or Rodgers? Sounds like it's going to be one of them

So are they going to wait until Conklin is done with his season at Wofford in April? Or is he going to leave his whole team a week before their first game?

 

[Sleegro]

Ewer*

Yer*

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Gross if it’s Conklin

Why? Dude's a really good defensive coach.

 

[pismonque]

It's a heel act he decided to start a few months ago for some dumb reason. He is not really a bad guy. I don't understand why he decided to start doing this jerk schtick, it is annoying to me because I remember how he was before.

I'll get this one for ya, Gucc....


who are you?

[MoCo_Vol]

Wofford's first game of the season is the 20th...wonder if he'd really bail on his team like that.

 

[Volnut]

Hubbs believes Rodgers is trying to make a decision between the NFL or UT DC.

Like there’s a 3rd alternative?

 

[Dudley Smith]

Is the Conklin stuff coming from anywhere besides A to Z Sports or can I safely ignore it?

 

[drvenner]

Conklin or Rodgers? Sounds like it's going to be one of them

So, I googled, and Conklin was on Dooley's staff. Also, would he leave a HC job to come here to be DC?

Lane Conklin?

 

[drvenner]

Bunch of bozos out here huh

*huh?

 

[VOLSONLY]

BB is such a good dude. We prob know each other.

Probably do if you live in Lagger. He’s one of the best guys I know. We all graduated together.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Conklin is well respected and will likely get a G5 HC gig soon - I don't see why he would want this job right now.

 

[preacherwebb]

Is today tomorrow at 4pm?
Or is that still tomorrow?

 

[buffaloblue]

Kacy Rogers would be a grand slam

I wish @engineerVOL would take it off the drawings of the building.
