I don't see the Calvin resemblance but I do think he takes after a certain coach that is beloved by VN..... Dare I say it..... soon?

Maybe it is just me, but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw a pic of him so I just ran with it. But if he becomes anywhere close to level of a coach as the dude on the left (we shall not say his name since it brings too much excitement around these parts) then we are in good standing.

This staff is looking pretty good imo. Hopefully Scott can call plays, but I think we have upgraded big time with the new hires

Yep. I don't see them broadcasting their involvement which is smart.

Old Man: "What is best in life?"

Bruin the Contrarian: "To destroy any good vibes on VN, to be opposed to every viewpoint, and to troll continuously so that none may find enjoyment."

Old Man: "You are truly the worst."

For the record I am very fired up about Wells and dang glad he is our OL coach.

I just think some things are left better behind closed doors and sharing his illegal coaching involvement last season fits that.

Hubbs on 104.5 giving Wells all the credit for developing Drew Richmond. Says he really responded to how hard Wells pushes his guys.


Problem is is Hubbs is pushing the narrative that Wells was coaching illegally this past season.

Last section, left column, last bullet point.

There's no reason to sweat this. Pushing his guys hard is, IMO, easily within the 'words of encouragement' clause that the rules allow. If Hubbs is talking about how Wells was breaking down drills and technique with the OL then that's one thing, but there's absolutely no rule broken for encouragement.

Non-issue.

Good link. Thanks for sharing.

The NCAA is such a joke. A QC can encourage but can't coach. That's damn silly.

Maybe this works "drew I encourage you have to better technique. Since I can only encourage you I encourage you do it this way with this body placement. Hopefully you are hearing my encouraging load and clear"

Just saw mcshay has Kamara going first round, no 29 to Green Bay! Amazes me he played second fiddle to Hurd!! Smh!

I won't sit her and act like Hurd wasn't a good RB, he was. The problem is, he wasn't as good as Kamara nor was his skill set suited as well as AK's for this offense.

Hurd would have been a more than ideal fit at Bama and their offense. He's a downhill runner with breakaway speed once he gets to the second level but he doesn't hit the hole fast enough, with an average OL such as ours, to make the impact that Kamara did.

Kamara is Warrick Dunn, Hurd is Eddie George (minus the leadership)...both great but very different RB's.

Hurd could have been used better in our offense (e.g., out of the pistol, etc.). Personally, I think he got caught running east and west too often, and I'm not sure that's 100% on the offensive scheme. I don't think his vision is nearly as good as Kamara's or Kelly's. Hurd seemed like a one cut guy, and several factors played into his struggles this season.

Yeah, losing King is pretty big. He is a graphical genius.

He used to send fake autographs to one of the guys in UTMR from coaches/players on the team about how he was their "inspiration" and whatnot. It was some tear jerking funny stuff.

We still have some good people doing graphics, but King was some kind of mad scientist when it came to creating/ imagining graphics/ branding.

Alabama just upped their game big time.

I've been curious of this as well.

Also, there's more than one graphics designer out there. People acting like this guy is gonna keep us from a championship or something.

What about the girl who paints the rock? Surely she wouldn't jump ship given her ties.

(Idk if she's "qualified" but she damn sure seems like she has a great talent)

She is definitely good at painting the rock. With that said though, the difference between them is vast.

Under King's direction, UT has been top 3-- arguably best-- when it comes to its graphical vision. Not just anyone can fulfill that role; Nick Saban personally recruited him to Alabama for a reason.

UT will be fine, but we most likely won't be in that top 3 argument anymore.

I'm pretty good at graphical design. Post a picture of yourself and I'll show you! I'll take the warning from the mods on it too!

I would be careful to insinuate that we didn't try to keep him. I think he chose the employer that not only could and would pay him more, but also the currently more successful employer. The one that has a better chance, currently, to further his career. Plus, wasn't he at Alabama before UT?

Repetitive, obsessive complaining about a perceived violation being made public, while repetitively and obsessively making said perceived violation public on a free, public fan forum.

THAT, my friends, is the new definition of insanity. :loco:
