Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Feels like the UAB game is at the perfect time. Get right game for the rest of the schedule. Put the UGA loss behind the team with a resounding win. Work on the small costly details that hurt vs on Saturday. And then get ready to claim a playoff spot down the stretch.

If I was in my 40s, had snookerrd my employer into giving me a multi-year, multi million dollar contract with the most favorable (to me) termination provisions, and really wanted to spend time with the family, I would do the crappiest job coaching to be forced out ASAP.

Florida fan nails it on these guaranteed contracts for coaches. What is Jimbo Fisher doing right now? I bet he's not working that hard whatever it is. I bet he has a lot of time to golf and fish. And I bet he has a big pile of Texas Oil Money that will last him, probably the rest of his life even if he lives extravagantly.

Am I crazy or did Hargrove Military Academy use to act like a semi pro league for academically challenged Vol football players? Probably not just for us but I remember having that relationship with them.

It seems that it's much easier to qualify these days than it once was. I can't recall having a tense situation for a couple of cycles at least.

I think you misunderstand. UGA was playing a centerfield safety on the deep shot INT it got. Most cover 3 defenses have a safety as deep as the deepest WR with other coverage in front of them. The CBs pattern match. The ball flight time lets one safety help to the numbers on either side: he doesn’t have to commit to a side.

Playing cover 3 would give defenses more options in the middle, not fewer. UGA’s base scheme against UT the past few years has been cover 2 man or a form of quarters, which have a minimum of 4 pass-first defenders at the snap (normally more). Cover 3 just requires 3. The width of the old routes lessened the need for deep safety help, so safeties could play shallower to defend the alleys. Cover 3 also lets teams disguise their pressure, as they can rotate more freely from an open to closed look right at the snap.

Teams will have to adjust to this new look offense. I think you’ll see more single safety looks, maybe bringing a safety up for crossers or the TE.

There’s no perfect offense or defense. It’s just tradeoffs and adjustments everywhere, and it’s always execution—I think the CB on the first long TD was expecting safety help deep and inside. Heupel and JA got UGA twice deep when UGA wasn’t in the best defense to counter it. Gotta tip your hat.

Rip the coach who runs cover 3 with this rushing attack.

I'm having trouble explaining the first loss. Figure they'll give us another.

Nega, but not wrong.

Jimbo actually joined the ACC Network this season and his name has popped back up for coaching vacancies. A vast majority of these guys are competitive and don't want to be failures. Your quality of life, especially your family being ridiculed, is also poor when things aren't going well, and nobody wants that.

One key clause that UT has used is the mitigation clause, which requires the fired coach to actively seek employment. While Butch was merely an analyst, it required him to do more than just sit at home. Jimbo did not have one, and it appears Billy Napier does not either. That's on the AD.

if not wrong then—realistic. Not nega. I'm optimistic. 10-2 gets us in the playoffs, then game on.

End of the NFL when that happens.

*I'm saying college football will be more popular than the NFL when players gain unlimited eligibility.

The only ones who will stay and play College Football 6 or 10 years are the ones who know they have ZERO shot of succeeding in NFL.... The star players will move on ...

Gerald Williams wept. Brent Vinson still hasnt caught a pass.

I hope he gets it.

Not when they're making massive $s indefinitely. There are many more college teams than NFL. The NFL will become a 30+ league.

The players good enough to play in the NFL will still go to the NFL and make NFL money while fulfilling every football player’s dream.

They will never pay what NFL teams can pay players but we will just have to disagree...

He's such a weenie

But he is right, Clemson fans should recognize he is their legend and their glory days are behind them.

Rip the coach who runs cover 3 with this rushing attack.

Not sure I follow. Cover 3 is a single high coverage—the other 2 deep zones belong to CBs. Teams have been playing double high safety looks, either cover 2 or quarters. Cover 3 lets you bring more to the box, not less.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

i.e. knows he has 0 chance of making an NFL roster so going to maximize is income potential as a college player for as long as he can

They won’t win this time around. Ziegler didn’t and I highly doubt he will either. GBO

[strkr]

Both teams get away with stuff. They don’t see everything. We just don’t post our penalties that aren’t called

Just pointing out some pretty big calls that went their way. I know refs are human bud but sometimes they affect game outcomes.
