Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Coached in NC games I would presume

Sure, but you gotta look at the current state of things and no way would I want either one of them over Heupel.

Me either but it just says top coaches in CFB.

Sark’s ranking is the most undeserving to me. Should be much lower on this list.

38 uncontested 3's is generous.

It doesn't matter, if they are missing 34 threes....try something different! We just kept running plays to get guys open for 3's they can't hit.

It's just Rick's belief that he should stick with that and doesn't have them ready to do anything else.

You just can't defend taking 45 3's when you are missing them. It's ridiculous lol.

Discussion is kinda useless because this is a truth in your narrative. And do there is nowhere to go from there. These players have shown the ability to make open 3s. I assure you they do it on practice. They have all done it in games. ZZ less so than the others. The fact that they have a bad game or go into a slump does not make that bolded statement true. A player that is a 38% 3pt shooter at the end of the season will have stretches where they shoot well above 38% and other stretches where they shoot well below 38%. No matter what stretch he was in prior to his uncontested 3pt attempt, he better take an uncontested 3pt look. Bottom line. It's the right shot from a mathematical perspective and it is absolutely the right shot from a shooter's psychology perspective.

Yikes. Usually, it's a good thing that the other team is taunting you to shoot 3's. Definitely could use Dalton for that. BTW, finally looks like Knecht is starting to hit them again (had a slump).

I hope he stopped taking open, uncontested 3's during his slump. That would have been a good time to just start shooting layups.

His UW run will carry a lot of weight until there's a few years of underwhelming UA seasons.

People will also say Saban was meh in Y1 too...though he had nowhere near the same talent Deboer's been handed, let's be real.

Tbf though it still was Y1 for him and he runs a different system than Saban. He just needs to get his type of guys in there, then we can really begin to see it all come to fruition...as they go 5-7

Ehh not so sure. If he gets a decent QB it won't be great for everyone else.

You don't take Washington from 4-8 to the national title in two years for no reason.

Ok cool

If we are shooting 3-25 from 3 in the next game

Just keep shooting them! They're open!

You know what’s crazy, Chris Paul is the same height as Aaron Donald.

Can’t wrap my head around that.

[Adam Sandler]

Well if he's capable but hasn't done it yet then shouldn't that let you know it's circumstances rather than a lack of ability? You're essentially punishing a guy for stuff outside his control. Allen gave his team the lead with 13 seconds left in 2022 and they somehow lost. How is that his fault? In 2024 he put them in field goal range to tie the game. His kicker missed. Somehow Mahomes kicker never misses the clutch playoff kick. Same with Brady. How is that Allen's fault?

I rate players based on their ability to play the game not on how circumstances led to certain results. If you wanna say Player A is better than Player B because of the result of game regardless of the circumstances then so be it. But just realize that's an irrational position not a logical one.

Whose the best player in nba history?

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Whose the best player in nba history?

1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Wilt Chamberlain
4. Hakeem Olajuwon
5. LeBron James
6. Shaquille O'Neal

That's my top 6. After the top 6 it's fluid. But I think these 6 are clearly in the top 6. With Jordan being the obvious GOAT. And the only guy who even makes me think for a second he could challenge Jordan it's Kobe. Nobody else is even in MJ's class.

Switch 2-3, and scrap the rest.

Oh, you best put Magic in there.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Deboer took the most talented team in the country and went 9-4 and is somehow still considered a top 5 coach

1. Belichick
2. Smart
3. Lanning
4. Freeman
5. Whittingham
6. Franklin
7. Sarkisian
8. Heupel
9. Deboer
10. Day

 

[Adam Sandler]

Brady at 45
Stabler at 38

advantage: Stabler

Brady’s gonna live forever isn’t he. Hate that guy.

 

[Weezer]

Siap

JMO, but that's more a list of the most successful programs, and less a list of the best coaches. Better coaches can be found, IMO, at smaller programs, where coaches don't have the resources that the big guns do, yet still find a way to win games. Some of the coaches on this list do less with more. The best coaches do more with less.

Uh, you forgot Magic Johnson.

My sister was actually a pilot in the VIP unit, and yes, they do fly Black Hawks. She Ubered Pentagon generals and SecDef.

I just figured based on your previous reasoning that you’d be a LeBron guy

Just admit you like Josh Allen and don’t like Mahomes. That’s all it is.

Good grief. we have had so many close calls recently. We have to do better. Prayers for those who lost friends and family, but this should not happen. I am a huge aviation buff and follow several channels that report on things like this. Just awful. It looks like 70 plus fatalities.

It seems like it’s become more unsafe to fly than previously over the past couple years and I don’t understand why. My assumption is the airlines should have gone under during COVID and have only managed to stay alive by not focusing dollars in key areas of the business that ultimately has translated to decreased efficacy and safety of its passengers. But I guess it could also not be their fault, and I wonder if the same theory would work the other way too.

You don’t have Bird,Johnson or Russell in there. Your first 3 I agree, after that you lost me.
