So we let Seldon go, not wanting to give him a chance at WR and he could still be RB, yet we are looking at a mid RB in Thomas and Humphrey is still out there... This is a cluster F... everyone will be happy with me stepping away and just lurking, as this is just getting Pathetic. I can't wait to see this board in the fall... wonder if most will still be in denial... We spent all our money supposedly on freshman (class was like 10-15, not even top 5) and retains, and have nothing left to replace the talent we lost. We sign Banks to an extension--- our talent level this year masked his inability to make adjustments during the game, never blitzed, ran zone until our opponent got to the red zone (folks I guess forgot how we had to outscore our opponents the first few seasons because our defense sucked), and our Oline coach is still hanging out along with the WR coach who apparently didn't get glowing reviews from all the mass WR's leaving... Got it.

It’s just a stupid characterization to say we’re signing a depth player at a skill position. Anyone who says that doesn’t understand how it works. You sign great players and they compete. I’ve heard AP say this too. “They like Lewis. They’re looking for depth.” Sure they like Lewis. He is fast and strong and can get stronger. He’s also young. He can also get hurt. Georgia and Alabama are five deep with RBs that could start at any school. Kids come to compete and play. Any running back we sign will be hungry and stubborn and believe he can be the starter. That’s the job description. “Hey buddy, we need a third guy. That’s you.” does not happen. If they sign Thomas, it will be because they believe he can contribute. He isn’t the only option, or the best.

We did not tell Seldon to move on, and the problem was not lack of talent or his desire to play WR. He’s a freak athlete, but he was injured more often than not for two solid seasons. Sometimes it’s best for a kid that talented to start fresh. If there is a complaint in that room, it’s that the snaps allocated didn’t follow the practice performance. Seldon caught balls out of the backfield and had the speed to run sweeps and the option. That’s happened often in practice, but never in a game. Lewis and Sampson had success in a two back set in the red zone, but it never got called in a game. We had a talented versatile room, and we basically ran one play, with one guy 75% of the time. We’re talking to some very good RBs. If we sign a “third guy” we just didn’t deliver. That isn’t the goal.

That was one my biggest head scratchers. When the offense stalled we didn’t do ANYTHING different or creative. Seemed stubborn to me.

I guess kids truly think mentioning us will raise their price.

I have no idea what it is.

Yeah a bit odd...the tweet is from an on3 person, but on3's article they posted said Tennessee wasn't likely to get a visit.

Speculation on my part here, but I think what's being said without being said is, if Texas Tech visit goes well the bus stops there. So if we end up in the mix it's because he and/or Texas Tech passed.

But also reads like HE wants to visit Tennessee, but we aren't expected to bring him in...so who knows

This is what confuses me about you. That was a rational post, Heard was in fact injured early and got better as year progressed.

Then other times not so much.. lol

Trolling works better when you throw a rational thought in on ocassion. Gives some people pause so they will engage. If he’s too obvious with it too many will just ignore him and he doesn’t get his supply.

I agree with this. I do try to look at it from the coaches' perspective in retrospect, though. As a play caller, if you don't know from play to play whether one or both of your OTs are going to get blown up, it seems like the easiest solution is to "dance with the girl you brought" and go with what has given you the most consistent success.

You demonstrated clearly to me you do not and I explained why you are wrong. Absolutely anyone can read it and make their own mind up.

Look I'm not getting into a pissing contest with you. It's clear you don't have a clue wtf ur talking about. And yes, anyone is more than welcomed to read my post and form their opinion. And if it's anyone who knows their stuff, clearly you are in the minority, then I'm confident they will agree with me. I mean you are arguing against facts. It's not my opinion. But again, I've proven my point and you have proven your lack of knowledge in relation to modern college football. Maybe you should stay off this forum and start researching a little more before you try and call someone out, because I can assure you I'm not the one. But like I said, I'm not one who gets on here and argues like a schoolgirl about who's right and who's wrong. I'm not wasting my time or anyone else's on someone of your elementary education. So carry on "Big College Football Guru." LMFAO!!!
