Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[FBtime]

Just to clear up a few things...

For those clamoring for Luke Fickell while pooping on the idea of Neal Brown:

Fickell at Cincinnati: 35-14
Brown at Troy: 35-16 (plus WV is on an upwards trajectory as he went 6-4 and beat a very good Army team in the bowl game)

Take a look at Troy before and after Neal Brown


Also...for those pooping on Luke Fickell because he's a "Defensive coach", Cincinnati was 24th in the nation in total offense. His OC is Mike Denbrock who has a pretty good resume and I would assume would come with him..

2010–2011 Notre Dame (TE)
2012–2013 Notre Dame (WR)
2014 Notre Dame (OC/WR)
2015–2016 Notre Dame (AHC/WR)
2017 Cincinnati (OC/QB)
2018–present Cincinnati (OC/TE)

You sure about that?

I'll stipulate to a certain presumptiveness based on perceived norms.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

All they have to do is squash it. They could just leak it to a few select guys that it isn't a possibility and it would be over with...why don't they do that? It would save a lot of hassle just to kill it...otherwise people are just going to keep on with this stuff, and then trash whatever hire is really made

Thats my biggest worry right now, if it ends up being not Kiffin how many fans are going to turn on whoever it is quickly?

I hate to throw cold water on Matt Campbell because he's at the top of my reasonable list, but he is bringing back his most talented and experienced team at ISU next year. 19 of 22 starters returning, including their all-Big 12 senior QB. Maybe he'll feel like he is leaving them in good shape if he leaves at this time, but that will be tough to walk away from. Supposedly his DC Jon Heacock would be the likely coach they'd promote if Campbell left.

Iowa State football: Veterans Charlie Kolar and Greg Eisworth returning for 2021

A lot of teams have a lot of starters returning next year because of the eligibility issues/options that Covid opened up.

Pruitt is such a terrible Coach.

I have to admit. I was thinking one more year for Pruitt if the investigation ended up finding minor violations. But now, I'm glad to be moving on and hopefully seeing a head coach hired with a strong record already as a head coach.

I like Ubben. Got nothing against Wallace.

LOL

I guess you like folks that sell bootleg cigarettes to elementary school children

 

[RockyTop411]

I look at Fickell and see Rob Riggle

 

[mrmax86]

Come on, guys and gals, we can figure this out!

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

What does that even mean? Does Ubben do that?

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Where our doctors at? I have a question. Just got off the phone with my mom's doctor's office. Been trying to get pathology results, but until now, they've not been in. Apparently they came in, but I was told they couldn't say anything, that the doctor would discuss the results at her follow-up. Am I right to assume that's bad? If it were clean, wouldn't they just tell me?

When is the follow up apt Weezer?

 

[mrmax86]

I look at Fickle and see Rob Riggle

 

[VolsdeepVFL]

Y'all think about it for a second... Number of four stars on roster

Hugh Freeze Liberty: 0
Jamey Chadwell Coastal Carolina: 0
Billy Napier LA Lafayette: 2
Matt Campbell Iowa State: 4
Neal Brown West Virginia: 5
Luke Fickell Cincinnati: 7
Scott Satterfield Louisville: 8
Lane Kiffin Ole Miss: 16 (+1 five star)
Scott Frost Nebraska: 22
Jeremy Pruitt Tennessee: 31 (+5 five stars)

Better breakdown would show what percentile of talent they have in relation to their conference.

Couldn't put my finger on it earlier. But that's it 100%

 

[Weezer]

When is the follow up apt Weezer?

Monday.

Just a weekend, but seems like a lot longer.

 

[Aesius]

Lane is like 6'5" though isn't he?

Lane goes about 6'9", 325 lbs. Best damn salesman in the office.

 

[RikidyBones]

Would i lie to you? That's the scuttlebutt around the parts.

I understand. Been there done that. I WOULD NOT assume the worst. Coming from a person with Cancer, they got on the phone with me that day, brought me in and we started discussing quickly.

 

[Ten_Titans]

That really doesn't matter.

The fans won't be pissed all the way to September. And even if they are, they will be over it as soon as he wins the first game.

I don't see this administration and White being Schiano'd by the fan base. So whether they turn on the hire and why really doesn't matter IMO.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Freeze
Kiffin
Campbell

Chadwell


*I can't talk myself into anybody else at this time.

**I do trust White to make the right hire.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I guess the best thing to do is trust white and give his hire a chance.

First smart thing you've said all day. White is a good AD, I trust him to make the best hire for what we need right now.

Always love when the post is coordinated with the avi.

I once saw him scissor-kick Angela Lansbury.
