Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[DD4ME]

I won't lie. A small part of me loves seeing loyal cats get rewarded and bag chasers get disappointed.

 

[DD4ME]

I'd post bail personally

I’ll be honest, I really hate UNC personally so I am to an extent biased against them regardless of the hire. Grew up around a lot of prickish UNC fans. So naturally I pay attention to them as I’m sure many of us here do. That said, I think they take a significant step back next year. Their schedule looks weak, and it is, but unless they go crazy in the portal they are a depleted team talent wise, and still bleeding. They lost to James Madison, Duke, Pitt, GT, BC, NC State which pre season most thought maaaaybe they would have lost 3/6 at most. Not sure Mr 83-104 without Brady is a good enough ball coach to win 8. They go @UCF, @Cal, @NC st, and then host Clemson, & then Duke. That will be a tough stretch for them. @Cuse & @Wake are no guarantees for that roster. Not buying them next year even with a good coach.

He’s old af and this game is not the same game he was coaching in New England. I think he’s one of the most overrated coaches of all time blessed with the second greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL. It is what it is. Saban proved that once he installed his system and got his horses he could trample anyone with anyone and he was correct. The moment Brady left Bill he withered. System malfunction or key cog lost?

Oh, and the NIL bump? until it happens, I’m not buying that for a second. That’s a huge capital investment for a basketball school and their big money regents and financiers have never felt comfortable taking resources away from their cash cow.

I think it’s a clever ploy to bring your son in on the spoils too, demanding contract language for succession. Doesn’t feel market driven, as an investment strategy it’s risky. What if both coaches suck? Locked into back to back bad cycles? After hiring Mack Brown? A, let’s be honest, similar feeling hire? Hey look, I think if you can still work and you want to work, or need to work, obviously, you should be able to, no matter your age, given you do the job well… but at a certain point UNC has become a retirement home for washed up coaches.

Ultimately UNC is going to be left holding the bag on this one imo.

My feelings about Deion are similar only as it pertains to having no system. I am very curious to see him next year with no Hunter and no Shadeur. The big difference here is Colorado has shown they will spend for football. No basketball tying them down. Not $20m but significant enough to put together a working roster. Again, two generational players will be gone next year. Next season of College Football 2025 sure will have some interesting plot lines…

I never repost Pate, but when he sounds a hell of a lot like my man @Go Fight Win - and spits truths vs memaw sayings it is worth a listen

 

[DD4ME]

Please not teams we played

Oh wait

We've faced him

You'll repost every random fake account on Twitter but not Josh pate?


Lol just messing with you

 

[Jimmy Football]

I feel like we are in a time loop

I think that one is very explainable. Man hijacks broadcast and does a Darth Vader voice a few months after Star Wars premieres in theaters.

Gene Simmons moves to edge of his seat.

They have two kids together, so he moved a bit closer than that.

@DD4ME

Need more news. You're slowing down.

 

[drylo]

I can’t believe this will end well. He’s very abrasive and I doubt he can relate to college kids. Great pro coach but hard to imagine it will translate to college. Glad it’s not us.

*great NFL coach when he had the second-best QB of all time

 

[TheRain]

Beating OSU will be so sweet.

 

[TheRain]

Worth posting again.

 

[tnvols72]

lol

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Bill = Brian Kelly but more abrasive and less experience at this level.

He won’t have anywhere near the successs of Kelly imo

Tennessee's staff compensation comes in at $7.135 million.

Tim Banks and the defensive staff deserve raises.

For those of you who said a little prayer last night:



My old girl Bonnie was a little better this morning once I got her into the pasture with the others. She didn't sleep any last night, didn't even lay down. My wife and I are exhausted with no sleep last night....... But in positive news:

Guinness extra stout at room temp is a solid choice. My old goat Bonnie and I just shared a bottle. She enjoyed the warmer weather today. Ate a little feed and caught her grazing with the herd for a while today. It's going to be difficult this winter. I'll bring her in when it gets really cold. And if her quality of life suffers I'll do right by her. But so far so good.

Thank you everyone! Your thoughts and wishes are gold!

Hugs

These talkin heads for OSU are such blind homers. Barely talk about UT. when they do they say if “Tennessee pulls off the impossible”. Sheesh

 

[knoxvol52]

Believe it's too soon to start making predictions about next seasons team record. Still have business to take care of this season and still more incoming and outgoing players for next season.

The passing game will be the offense next season imo. Nico will get plenty of Heisman hype. The offensive line is a huge question, which young guys are going to step up on OL and DL also. Will Cam Seldon come back healthy as he has ever been and shine at RB or will Bishop be the man.

Can Matthews run amuck in the opposing teams secondary next season, will Squirrel come back and have a great year?

I'm just not going downplay what a great Defensive mind Belichick is. I'm not assuming he will win a National Championship at UNC but I'm not going to downplay the hiring either. Belichick isn't stupid he will put a staff together and get recruiters to do the job for him.

Within 2 years UNC will win ACC Championship and yes I know that's not saying much...

I don't think he does. My personal opinion is he fails. But only time will tell.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Imagine having a mature answer like this. Ohio St could never

Nobody today has a clue how solid college coaches or athletes will react to this guy, even with whatever NIL $ was promised. Luring and keeping talent, rather than drafting and contractually locking them up is a whole different world. Probably a little easier than when some of us fantasized over Chucky a few years back, but you still have to sell some rather than buy a FULL roster. His peak is on record, so is his legendary personality and his last few years trend chart.

Rock Hill is pretty nice for a small city. 30mins south of Charlotte on I-77. Population 75,000 people. Per capita, Rock Hill puts more players in the NFL than any city in America. (At least it did when I read the article a couple years ago)




lmao

Some parts of Rock Hill is decent. They’re trying to revitalize the downtown area. Other parts to include around the main library is surrounded by homeless people.

I’m in Fort Mill, immediately north of Rock Hill - same county. There are three libraries within 20 minutes from our house that I take the kids to (not as frequently now that they’re all teens with cell phones ). The downtown Rock Hill library always had homeless people around the parking lot and sleeping inside, upstairs.

As far as the football part - I doubt that’s the case anymore. I know Malik Clark is from there and he’s committed to uscjr. Years ago there was a receiver committed to us from there but he ended up getting a git shirt and ended up nowhere that I remember. Early Pruitt era timeframe.

Outside of that - Fort Mill has had more big time talent come through but they just get “recruited” to schools in Charlotte. The 5 star Michigan commit QB from a couple years ago went to one of the schools in Fort Mill his junior year before ending up in Charlotte his senior year. Same with big time running back I believe.
