Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Again, the underlying point being that just because something is done commonly, and passionately, doesn't make it productive.

And again, the underlying discussion was about things that could make a coach take a lateral position move. Not your opinions about how things that you have never experienced may affect someone else.
Right or wrong, public criticism for jobs like this is par for the course, and a person finds that out real quick if they didn’t already know going into the job.

Outside of threats, I would imagine anyone that has been in the college football game any time at all realizes It is really no worse here than at any other big time football program in the country. These jobs are well-compensated, and the fans that drive the market have every right to make their voices heard within reason.

If there is no threat or personal or racial attacks, public criticism about public job performance is not abuse. That is not opinion, that is fact. And to my knowledge, nothing that would constitute abuse has been directed toward this coach.

However, I guess there may have been foolish threats, racial epitaphs, or other things that have not been made public. So I guess I do not know what all this coach has been through exactly, just like you don’t know me or what I may never have experienced.

I can see you enjoy a good debate, even if it sometimes seems like you are just throwing stuff out there and fishing for it. And like I said, I do like a good free expression vs snowflakes debate myself. But again, I am going to have to sit this one out.

Sally is progressing.

A tech called "Shot Spotter" listens to sounds in an area, like a city, and identifies gunshots and their precise location. . . even the type (caliber) of gun probably used. It alerts the PD immediately. Sometimes cops get to the scene before 911 calls are even made.

Pretty soon Sally will be predicting future crimes. I may be in the minority thinking this, but it's a good report.
She’ll have a hell of time opening day of gun seasons around the US
 
What I don’t get is one of the “insiders” said heupel has evolved into an impressive HC. If this is what some call impressive then I’m even more confused by it than I was. This is not impressive, this is unimaginative and boring
Winning should matter to fans more than impressive imo. Heupel has won 30 games in the last 3 seasons. Does coach O need to be on Heupels staff chugging red bulls and ripping his shirt off for you to be entertained?
 


May need to do a DC hot board.

I got a person and this is the only person we need to go after...

Tim Walton - Ohio State Secondary coach...

End of board....

Elite recruiting, Top 3 Secondary coach and needs to get out from under a DC who won't allow him to get promoted... this answers everyones gripe, CWM doesnt do this or CTB doesnt do that... we are talking about DOGS!! We now have Walton, Garner, Chop, Inge, and Ekeler as on field coaches....your welcome Coach Heupel

As an attorney, this technology has been out there and is being used. It's better than nothing, but it didn't exactly result in much with my experience.

Again, the "abuse" verbiage was used as comparative example to disprove the initial apparent logic of your response. To repeat, lots of bad/inadvisable/unproductive things are done commonly and with passion. I never said that someone doesn't have the right to act foolish on the internet.

I mean this is a low effort post. Check my history - I’m not one to blow smoke or troll. Just what I was told. I guess I’ll refrain from posting anything else I hear.
Your call. Do you want to be on record calling a 18 yo kid with whom you have 0 interaction (hopefully), dumb? Even if he struggles reading and writing, what does it say about an adult to call a kid, dumb? Behind a keyboard.

You do you, i'm done arguing.
 
Cordarrelle Patterson was not the smartest nor did he have a grasp of the playbook, but that didn’t prevent the coaches from getting him the ball. The coaches could have accommodated that, but chose to play lesser talented guys that couldn’t catch the ball. Hopefully they learned from it.

He wouldn't be the first ......... If true.

I don’t disagree with either of you. I am just passing along what I heard.

I mean I do dumb stuff all the time. I guess you can chalk that post up to another dumb move of mine. I did dumb stuff as a 18 y/o. People afraid to tell me I was dumb for doing dumb things didn’t really do me any service in terms of improving/bettering myself.

They’re showing Tejas v Arid State. Did that game really turn on a late targeting no-call? Was is targeting? I didn’t see the game, but I saw the clip and it looked like head to head on a player in a defenseless position. But I’m not anywhere to look up the rules and definitions. Help a bro out here. I know we had a lot on eyes here on it.

I think it was, by definition. It was a huge call that would directly impact the outcome whichever way they called it.
