Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Let's get to 10-2 and see what happens.

Here’s the voice of reason that I have been looking for… thank you.

Who's ready for basketball today?

I'm not sure we have many fans left after so many of them did headers off the sunsphere after the game last night. . .

[Jackcrevol]

We’re a 5 win team right now without Sampson and this defense.

Wouldn't say the team has played well, I’d say Sampson and the defense has played well.

Safeties, and CB's have made plays, Nico has made plays, so has ST.

A team is a team. The only part of team that havent really stepped up are WR. They arent good.

[Enki_Amenra]

Don’t blame him at all. Everyone else does it. That ref took off.

Not mad at all about that. Players everywhere are clearly coached to do that.

I honestly didn’t know you stop play to see/review if a penalty not effecting the play had occurred?
Maybe that‘s only used against us

Will Brooks has done some great things here, but I can't wait to get more athletic at safety. He and Turrentine leave some room for more.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Hmm, not sure what to think about that

twss

I did that too but it knocked me back to my senses thankfully

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Huepel is NOT going to be on the hotseat man.

Man I don’t even know why I’m doing this to myself by defending my point, because I don’t want him to be on the hot seat. But if you’re telling me he goes 7-5 in year 5 and that doesn’t put him on the hot seat after we’ve fired coaches for similar paths, you’re kidding yourself. Again, for those in the back, I am not calling for his head today, my main point is based on next year’s schedule, this year was far easier to make a playoff bid.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Ohh we had a better OL then?

We had many of same issues, we just had Darnell Wright which equalized many issues. The constant has been Ellarbee, who is notna great, or even good recruiter here in Y4

You inadvertently supported my point with the bold.

In defense of Ellarbee, or Heupel if you want to make that argument, last year's and this incoming year's OL class are quite good.

Building an elite roster takes time. Heupel punching above his weight deceives our fanbase into thinking we have a roster capable of winning it all. We simply aren't there, yet.

I just wish our fanbase understood this dynamic and were appreciative of having a coach capable of punching above his weight WHILE slowing and consistently adding weight.

He has made plays against the meh completion.

Again 2 TDs against the tougher part of our schedule isn’t good. (UGA, Bama, FL, Ark, OU)


While throwing a whopping 58%
178 yards per game

He’s not going anywhere this year or next, and nor should he. But if he goes 8-4 or 7-5 next year, which is absolutely possible, no way he enters 2026 without being on the hot seat.

And yes, I agree. There needs to be some massive staffing overhaul after this season.

What on earth makes you think it’s absolutely possible that he could go 7-5 next year

 

[WesTnVol]

GOAT. I’d rather lose with honor than win off buIIshit.

That’s my coach
Stone Cold

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Have you seen the schedule? That on top of his inability to win road games in the SEC, it’s highly possible. I didn’t say he would, but it’s definitely not a given he won’t.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

We don’t have a deep threat against teams with speed without a healthy Thornton. We just don’t.

The deep ball has been overthrown most of the time that the receiver is open. Just from what I’ve seen this season. That makes it tough to open up the playbook.

The thing that I am most concerned about is just how slim Nico looks when he’s getting hit by any player on defense. Every time he gets hit, I am worried that he will be seriously injured. Not sure how much weight he can put on as his frame is not big. He absolutely needs more muscle bulk to absorb the punishment when he runs.

All legit gripes.

I dont think that Herb is a Georgia fan, but took his commentary during game as Georgia's win is a foregone conclusion. Arrogant presumption that they were going to win.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

GOAT. I’d rather lose with honor than win off buIIshit.

He has every right to be livid and I wish he would have spoken his mind. Take the fine and tell the SEC to shove it. That penalty review killed all momentum and completely destroyed our ability for the comeback.

Mississippi will **** in the bed in Gainesville next Saturday..

At which point will we be there? Y5, 6, 8...10?

It doesnt take other programs that long to start signing top classes. Sarkisian is at #4 , what year is he?

This staff is in Y4. Has an orange bowl win, top QB. I dont buy it.

Yes Nico needs to eat a couple of Biscuits and a few Double Whoppers with bacon&Cheese.

Just like when I get aggravated with Barnes.
We don't play the money game with the top recruits, and it costs us. I refuse to believe we don't have as much NIL money as anyone, but this setting a budget crap has to stop.
