Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

When is the last time a Tenn team actually overachieved relative to expectations?

 

[buffaloblue]

Weve been saying that for a mont.

Agree, it may click or it may never click. This year is weird. Hard to get over critical on the kids this year for me.

 

[buffaloblue]

We have no post play...guards can't do it all. Shocked if we made sweet 16...second round at best.

Never know, once you get in and no one is picking you, sometimes it’s easier to play more freely which can help a team like this.

Basketball four years ago.

He gonna have a YUGE season

Random thought but we must be saving a ton of money in our recruiting budget. Having one of the biggest budgets in the country and we aren’t spending anything to send coaches on the road, host recruits, or put on camps. The only thing we really have to pay for is the recruiting staff and a pro Zoom account. I need Jimmy to dig up these numbers.

Sad.

 

[Jackcrevol]

not sure about grown man on twitter guy...

but, it really does frustrate me to think about the fire power we've left on the bench in last three years. inability to do ANYTHING offensively with names like Hyatt, Wideman, and Beckwith just sitting. (Yes im aware that genius Egghead found a way to let Hyatt run three go routes).

Absolute idiocy. Its truly pounding square peg in a round hole. Its truly the definition of insanity.

ANY offensive mind worth half a **** would find a way to get playmakers the ball. So happy that freshman or not, we'll be looking to get in end zone now. Instead of running from 20 to the 20, only to fumble, throw INT, or turnover on downs.

I see this kid playing on Sundays. I hope he has a great Sophomore season and starts getting looked at by the scouts.

Hopefully Oklahoma isnt recruiting him.

Overall, I am very happy with the job Coach Barnes has done. Kind of disappointed in how this year seems to be headed, but no way in the world do I think it is time to move on. Good grief, you all are all kinds of miserable.

People are just not understanding the number of players that are playing through injuries. That's the difference in the play from the beginning of the year to the last 10 or so games.

I don't buy it. This is a very typical barnes "fall apart at the end of the year"team

Football was 2019. Picked 5th in the east at SEC media days and finished 3rd. Seems like a long time ago.

I hope they are and we report them and they get slapped with worse sanctions than we get. Lol

Maybe it's not the talent or coaching and it's the expectations that are out of whack.

How is it too much to expect a .500 team from last year to beat every team they face this year?

 

[Volnut]

Putting my dog of eleven years down tma. Gonna be a terrible day. We got him before we got married and now have two kids and moved twice since having him. Gonna miss my boy.

In memorium for Smyrna's dog!
They are like family.
My prayers are up for your family's comfort.

The O line is what worries me.

Afaik Hype's plays don't take an eternity to run and should minimize poor pass pro at the tackles. Our run blocking should be fine though jmo.

His Missouri teams were in the top 2 both seasons in the SEC in allowing sacks.

 

[Devo182]

Now whether that kind of performance is worth paying him a top 10 salary is another question entirely, but hey, it’s not our money.

Top 10 salary in basketball for averaged-out top 25 results.

Top 15 football salary and we have finished top 25 twice since Fulmer. Not once in the top 20.

So...yeah, I'll take the Barnes situation all day!

 

[Deebowbear]

Any word on the final on field coaching spot?

Wonder why we haven’t heard anything think they would be trying to get all coaches hired so the could be working together
