Recruiting Football Talk VII

[rikberry31]

If you want to call Cowboys fan since mid 70's so be it..

Cowboys and Dodgers were both on top in the seventies.

Bummer on Jerry. I bet we go internal. Just based on Josh's MO. Not crazy about that from a recruiting standpoint.

Bottom line is programs recruit. It's easy to recruit if you have a program or a vision to sell. EX. If Bama continues to will their recruiting will not fall off. Two things recruit, vision and past results.

That’s not accurate at all, imo….. Some coaches have the intensity to be great recruiters….. Saban and Smart have IT….. Deboer is not in the same class as those two.

If the Steelers never existed. And the Dodgers didn’t win a single World Series in the 70’s. Now if he claimed the A’s, Reds or Yankees…?

Bandwagon fans jump from team to team…. It doesn’t matter when/why you originally chose the team.

Super Bowl commercials and the halftime show used to be worthwhile. It’s been a few years since they were good. Guess we will be waiting another year to see if they can make a return.

False nostalgia imo

They've never been consistently great. You only get a Prince performance one time. Then you might get a decently memorable one every 5 years or so. The rest are meh. But probably good for some demos.

At least it isn't the 80s super bowl halftimes, those were truly laughable.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

he is alright

FYP




(I was just picking at him. I like @knoxvol52, he's a good guy)

As far as football QBs go

You don't think Brady is the GOAT with SEVEN titles?

88% say he's the best QB of all-time. For context, compare that to MJ's goat basketball player vote of 58%. His position atop the NFL greats is undeniable and a more sizable gap than in other sports, though Mahomes has a chance to chip away.

Mahomes, with 3 at 28 years old, is just 1 year behind TB with 3 at 27.

Question will be if he can keep up the pace without Reid/Kelce at some point and have longevity.

 

[SugarCC]

They are not nearly as explosive on offense as they were a few years ago, so I would say it has slowed them down

The only thing slowing them down is tripping and falling over the back to back Super Bowl rings they've won since he left.

Y’all, Brock Bowers looks like he should be playing The Cones of Dunshire at the Gryzzl HQ.

Honestly, in this picture he looks like he would be solidly "on the spectrum".

When the Titans get good again…..and have a VFl or two…..don’t jump on that bandwagon…

You stay you

If they get a VFL or two, I'll cheer for those VFLs to do good. It'll be unfortunate that they're on a bad team, tho.

 

[SmokinBob]

I dont think we can trust Sally!

“Sally” didn’t correct you re: “Sally”

Also, it's not my fault the Titans suck. I wanted to root for them. Then they proceeded to make bad decision after bad decision. It's very hard to cheer for incompetence.

He's one ugly looking dude. I'm no fan of Beyonce, but she is gorgeous. How he got her is a mystery unless it just about being a power couple

I like a couple of her songs, but not a big fan of her music for the most part. But yes, she is definitely gorgeous.

 

[VolGee4]

Coach addressed it right after the game which seems to me that the crowd chanting that bothered him…. We were ranked 6 in the country and they weren’t even in the other receiving votes category…. They whipped us by 16 in a game that wasn’t ever close….. Seems like that would make us OVERRATED.

Pretty sure he was asked about Reed Arena by an A&M beat writer. He didn’t just speak on it without being asked. Context matters.

If people don’t know, Barnes is brutally honest, and that’s something that’s been discussed for years. It’s nothing.

 

[rikberry31]

That’s not accurate at all, imo….. Some coaches have the intensity to be great recruiters….. Saban and Smart have IT….. Deboer is not in the same class as those two.

If Saban or Kirby were a Vandy do you think they would recruit at the same level? If they weren't winning and put players in the league they wouldn't be recruiting nearly as well. Smooze only goes so far.

 

[SmokinBob]

Of course not. But that wasn’t the comparison that was being made

He stated that he wanted a certain amount, right? If he didn’t get that amount from UGA, did he talk to other Universities about getting that amount? If he did, did those Universities violate NIL? Did he violate NIL? Do we even know what NIL rules are? Are there any NIL rules? Were there any NIL rules?

I agree. Everyone is a bandwagon fan originally, if you stick with them you're good. Just like it doesn't matter how you met your wife as long as you stick around through the good and bad.

you are talking in extremes…. i do think that Kirby/Saban would recruit better here than Heup has so far…… better than Mullen at Florida……Deboer is no where near the recruiter that Saban is….. He will probably still have decent classes due to being at Bama…. They won’t be close to the elite level that Saban was at.

Tennessee Volunteers drop 2 spots to #8

Larry Bird's Sycamores ranked #23

1958 NFL Championship vs. 2023 Super Bowl halftime show

 

[InVOLuntary]

i wonder what the market is for him…. He does intangible type of things but not very productive stat wise.

We're about to find out. I think he'll make significantly more money but that's just my opinion.

Deboer hasn't won like Saban/Kirby or put dudes in the league like Saban/Kirby. I'm trying to think of one coach that recruited well and didn't do both.
