'12 JUCO DE Denico Autry (MSU signee)

[JAEvans24]

Also, this is a prime example on why people should not freak out when we only have a handful of commits as of late summer.

exactly, I'm loving the class.

No one is questioning their recruiting ability....

Believe it or not there are some.

I've read a few threads just last night with people talking about the lack of recruiting ability. I just smh.

OCI, with Autry, Sentimore, and Otis that puts us at 23 (with Tino) if Bullock walks on. That leaves room for 2 more, unless we back count (if we can). How many do you think we sign? Especially with who's left on the board.

Mathers
M.Davis
Perkins
Brown
Hamilton
McCullers
Collins
Cochran
Meredith
Price
Fuller
Elston
Q.Davis
Patterson
etc...

That is a lot of talent to turn away. Whats your opinion?

Since Tino Greyshirted, and Martin left the program. I would think Tino will count towards last year....

The back counting gets confusing, but I would think that one is for sure.

Playing with fire if that's the route the staff takes.

Edit: The pigs get fat, the hogs get slaughtered.

Kicker becomes a walk on,
local kid becomes a walk on also (like K Biggers and tons of folks before him) and a WR who feels we have too many committed now decides he wants to go to Wake Forest or Clemson or Louisville.

That would be 3 more spots and it would result in zero blowback on Dooley and the rest of the staff IMO.

"local kid" is an EE. So he cant greyshirt and is also unlikely to walk-on.

Clearly Dooley and Co. should be fired. lol:

Recruiting and coaching are 2 different things. Very few argue that Dooley can't recruit.

Eh, a good number of us weren't too happy in June, myself included.

Won't be making that mistake again.

Agreed. Ron Zook could recruit like a beast.

Hard to know if a coach is any good when he doesn't have comparable talent and depth to his opponents. And spare me the "we lost to kentucky", get over it.

Walkon?

Freed up scholly?

Central isn't a private school

This this this and this

Every coach has a bad loss. It happens

Oh I thought it was Knox catholic. My bad.

Maybe I am thinking of kerbyson from last yr???

Dooley had a couple historic losses, but yes, I hope he continues to recruit well.

Which is pretty much what he said. He has recruited well given our record the last 2 years, hard to deny that.
The other is yet to be seen.

Exactly, Ron Zook could recruit his ass off too.

So coaching wasn't a problem this year? The lack of improvement over the year, and regression in some areas doesn't concern you at all? People that think talent, depth, and youth were our only issues this year must live in a fog.

+1. I dont know how anyone cant be at least a little concerned with the coaching aspect of things. I fully understand the talent issue as well but man there were some major issues from a coaching standpoint. Nothing more glaring than the constant issues of getting the play called in from the sidelines on time.

The misuse of timeouts drove me nuts this year.

Absolutely. There were a lot of game management issues that fall directly on the coaching staff.

I'm not concerned yet. There are no perfect coaches. Even guys like Saban, Miles, and the almighty Urban Meyer make boneheaded mistakes quite often. The difference is they have (or had) the luxury of a margin of error. WE HAVE NO MARGIN FOR ERROR. ZERO, ZILCH, NADA.

I don't think any of those guys would have done any better wearing Dooley's headset this year. OK, MAYBE one or two of them would have won the Kentucky game but you're kidding yourself if you think our season would have turned out any better if we had an "elite" coach. Don't forget that one of the reasons we had trouble getting the plays in is because for many of those plays we had a VERY GREEN FRESHMAN QB under center, or we had other personnel issues where VERY GREEN players were on the field.

See, I can paint in broad generalities too.

Do you think the coaching this year was acceptable?
