Colorado hires Marshall Faulk as RB coach

[Volprofch05]

We’ll see if he knows anything about the position

Solid.

Great hire. Interesting they used a photo of him on the Colts when most people probably remember him as a Ram??

First thing I thought of was because of Colorado State

Marshall Faulk was a beast! He didn’t really have anything that wowed you right off the screen, I mean don’t get me wrong he was really good at just about everything , but the thing that I think separated Faulk from the rest was his conditioning. He hit the hole at the same speed for 4 quarters. His acceleration never let up. Fun to watch

Is it a great hire. Never coached and was suspended from NFL Network.

Damn that’s pretty cool. Not gonna lie.

The guy was arguably the best pass catching running back in NFL history. Just legendary blend of speed, hands and durability.

All his former Rams teammates say he was the smartest football player they have ever played with.

 

[loosecannon]

Fascinating. He was the ultimate Swiss Army knife RB.

You mean San Diego State.

You mean San Diego State.

Colorado State has similar helmets to the LA Rams.

Ah. I thought he meant where Faulk played college ball. He was an amazing college player. I loved watching him play when I got the chance.

One of those talents that merits watching their career highlights in awe…like Bo Jackson. Grew up hating Larry Bird, but I lived long enough to see how capable I am of misguided ignorance.

Big move for Colorado.
I imagine Marshall Faulk can just be himself and be a very successful recruiter.
The AD may be thinking him to be a possibility as the next head coach.

If it makes you feel any better I did the same thing with Kobe. Hated him, I didn’t get an appreciation for him until he passed unfortunately

Similar story. I took Shaq’s side when Kobe blew that partnership up. Was blind to his drive to be the best and intolerance for those who let themselves go and waste natural gifts.

Edit: the fun fact below is factually inaccurate and no longer fun...

Fun fact, in his career he had 767 receptions for 6,875 yards and zero receiving TDs.
Zero TDs is wild.

I think he had 36

Its not recruiting anymore. Its a negotiation. This guy is only a figure head. He cant coach what he cant teach. His abillity was instinct..

You're right. What the heck was I looking at..

 

[Peradox1K]

One of the more interesting hires, but it should work nicely. NFL, watch out!

Haha. You’re good. I normally wouldn’t look something like that up, but I thought there was no way Peyton Manning or Kurt Warner would allow that to happen the further his career went along. He is definitely one of the best to ever do it.
