Willie isn’t the Safeties Coach. He’s the Cornerback Coach. Tim Banks is the Safeties Coach.

Yes, yes we know. Also the safety recruiter.

You do. The poster I was replying to did not.

Did you see what he did against that offense tonite? We got no safety play against air.

Fire?

Got an INT. Nice.

Combay has 3 INTs. A pick 6.
KR for a TD and 30 tackles.

Will be nice to have these two big athletes competing at safety this spring.

Yes, all our DBs have this versatile tag that you don’t know if they are a corner or safety. We still don’t know where Merritt/Poteat/Lewis will settle in at.

Poteat is a CB it’s been mentioned few times on VQ.

Beasley was a corner last year as well.

I know that. I’m referring to the part of your post that said “DBs that Willie recruited.” Willie has recruited some damn good corners (high school and portal). But if none of the DB recruits are turning out to be good Safeties (the part you’re taking issue with), that’s more on the Safeties coach than the CB coach.

I honestly don’t think that they value safeties much on the recruiting trail. That needs to change. And I think Banks is the main one setting that standard, although Heupel is probably on board with it as the HC. But it’s not about Willie.
