Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I'm not sure who is worse. Jets or Titans .

Titans are the worst in NFL.

As an avid Steelers fan, it was tough for me to watch how they struggled vs both the Jets and Pats. But, it’s the NFL and both were away games.

UT wins by two possessions if Aguilar is the QB. Nico made horrible reads and decisions all game and played scared.

Arkansas had a great gameplan for Nico. They executed it perfectly and it gave the team a chance to win, and they did.

Nico made the Arky defense look like world-beaters. You would have thought it was New Mexico or Northwestern out there.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Not as much as people think…

When that play happened, first thing I thought of was this picture from Fall practice.

I thought I liked this twice. . .

I took both those spreads

Learn from Saban. Stick with college.



Never leave us…

Except Saban didn't stick with college, he failed miserably at the Miami Dolphins.

 

[JacketVol]

Our defense is wild. We’re first in the country in sacks, and top 10 in TFLs and passes defended. But some drives we look Sunseri-esque.

I’m hoping Hobbs and McCoy returning will help our consistency.

Do you guys not remember. CJH likes balls to the walls on offense and a D that is aggressive toward negative plays which can cause some yardage but creates TFL and turnovers. Get 2 or 3 stops and some FG’s in red zone while lighting up the scoreboard. In the past with a good QB who runs this car, that has been his type of defense.

That’s my point

 

[Weezer]

That’s my point

If Tony leaves to coach in MLB, everyone knows it's your fault, ya damn jinx.

@utknate

This throwback is hilarious every time it gets posted. Old heads remember.

Also, he was a real one and always leaned into the jokes when they got brought up.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

He’s one of us. Who would’ve thought that when he came here. I’ll admit, I didn’t. I just wanted to stop the bleeding from that mess from Nico and his family . I can’t wait to see what he and this team can accomplish going forward. I thought we would go 7 and 5 at best by the supposedly set back. I’m just enjoying watching, regardless. I think the Joey train is entrenched here and can’t wait until Doc catches up and posts 16-0. Let’s not tell him, I love that type of enthusiasm.



16-0 Doc until it’s not DOC!!


Well…….

The speculation makes me realize how backwards it is for a college baseball coach to jump to Major League. As the MLB is ending, college ball is just getting good and started with their fall season. As NCAA baseball is ending, the MLB is not even halfway done.

Do college baseball head coaches ever get hired for pro jobs?

It's happened ONE time.... Big difference in dealing with College Players and Millionaire Big Leaguers...

It's not going to happen. Nothing to be concerned about .

Amen! Proud of the players who stood up for their beliefs instead of allowing an agenda to be forced on them.

*Not having our semi-annual coaching search thread is the worst part about us being good again. Not saying I don't love us being good, but they were a lot of fun. That sounds so sick but if you were here for Grudenmania, you know what I mean.


**I might go troll their boards, just to "scratch that itch" again. That post has some real potential.

Hush!! That was the only fun we had back then, however this is WAY WAY more fun having an actual coach that knows what he is doing and a team that wins!

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Wow

No way that’s accurate. We have played 3 power 4 teams (one isn’t the same anymore due to QB injury), beat one 4-0 team on the road, and lost to the other one in OT at home. And you’re telling me we don’t even make the top 25?? Who has some of the teams even played that are on that list? My word.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Only allowing 180 passing yards, 2 turnover, 5 sacks, and 2 defensive touchdowns showed me a lot Saturday. They're just young players growing up.

Part of that is because they ran the ball like 60 times.

 

[VolGee4]

Part of that is because they ran the ball like 60 times.

The 12 by Shapen really don’t count. Yes, they ran better than I would like, but they could not or did not throw downfield. Their vertical passing game is not like Heupel’s.

 

[DD4ME]

I needed this one today badly. I pray it finds anyone else that does.

September 30, 2025: I am reminded of the old saying: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Rise up out of the dead ashes of the past, stop feeling sorry for yourself, and seek God for wisdom to do the next thing. Do not lose heart, but establish yourself in hope and faith that He will lead you into the next phase of your existence. You are strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.

Who was the manager who did it?

 

[BigSteve09]

Tyreek in for a very bad year.

Ruined knee. Year+ recovery. 31 years old.

Gonna lose a giant piece of his contract.

8 baby mothers.

Yyyyyyyikes

 

[Volsdeep4]

I hope after the bye week we finally unleash Boo and stop with the punishment. We need him full time at punt returner and starting at star. That hit he laid in the second quarter was a monster. If you really want McMurray on the field, then move boo to safety. But he is one of your best DBs and needs to be on the field.

Boo isn’t better right now. Talent wise yes, boo has more upside. He will give you 1-2 hard tackles a game. Boo also gives up more bust and is horrid in zone, right now.

Booo seems to have gotten so sold on this whole play both sides of the ball by Prime that he forgot he actually needs to play good on his primary side of the ball first.
