Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Sleegro]

The good thing is, it isn’t going to be Elliot unless we miss on other guys that we are targeting. So if it falls to Elliot, then we’ll all be fine with giving him the shot. I’m just glad he isn’t a top target

Weird logic. I'd prefer if, after looking at all the candidates, we got our first choice. And if that's Elliott that means they found him more impressive than all the more experienced options. Experience reduces risk but doesn't always predict which candidate has the best shot at success. We may get a postseason ban for a year or two anyway so I say go for the most upside. If DW thinks that's Campbell, I'm all in. If he thinks it's Elliot I hope he doesn't pass on him just because of lack of experience. DW said he wants to be aggressive. People assume that means throwing money at big names. It could also mean taking a shot at the highest upside and not being afraid to fail. Jmo

Oh if she hits a home run here in AD and HC she will have that hand out asking for the raise

I think she’ll adjust her lifestyle and use coupons. How much was Cheek pulling down while he was fishing out?

 

[jakez4ut]

Every time I see DW I still think Darnell Washington.

darryl waltrip.

i'm old.

 

[MarcoVol]

So plowman is whites boss and only makes $600k a year.

That must feel strange

Nah it’s like a sales team, the talent makes the most money. HC will make even more than him but DW will be boss and that’s a totally normal scenario.

Elliot isn’t the top target is the point. He’s a fall back option.

Chick-fil-A is Matt Campbell. McDonalds is Kevin Steele.

It sure seems like the lives of a lot of people revolve around a mediocre chicken sandwich

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He had top 12 offenses in 2 of his years there and beat OU and OSU and was good enough to get a job as HC at SMU. IF Dabo was only good because of his assistants, and Chad Morris sucks, then how were they winning?

I dont consider top 12 as sucking. I was just going off another posters logic. Why does Clemson pay their coordinators so much and work so hard to protect them?

Freeze left a huge amount of paper trail when he cheated.... we need someone with common sense when they cheat.[/QU

I was reading an article about Napier. It said one thing he learned from Saban was to keep a journal of your daily coaching. Napier has stacks of journals where he goes back and can tell you why he failed and how he fixed it. I recall some rumor saying Pruitt kept a ledger of the payments. I wonder if that idiot didn’t realize he shouldn’t put in his diary “paid Mim $100k today think we may get him aight”

 

[Ashevolle]

Go watch interviews... not only do they look like each other but they have similar mannerisms, smartest guy in the room arrogance... IMO

Seems humble in the interviews I've seen. Smart, sure, but not cocky.

 

[Girth Brooks]

My sons name is Elliott, and I still don’t want Tony Elliot.

My son’s name is Lane.

BOOM!

 

[volbeast33]

Every time I see DW I still think Darnell Washington.

I know lol

 

[WarMachine]

Like the AD of most schools when they hire a head football coach.

 

[Ashevolle]

After reading hundreds of pages of various opinions, I realize that none of us know what we're talking about.

I'd rather have a high ceiling coordinator than a dud head coach

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

You asked me “if it’s so easy then why wasn’t Morris good.” Now you say he was good. Which is it? I’m not going to sit here and answer all these nonsensical questions. We don’t need to go another coordinator route unless we get turned down a bunch. Tired of arguing the point.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I’d rather have Matt Campbell

 

[volbeast33]

If that is true about Pruitt then he was an idiot.... freezes staff was putting in text messages like a teenage girls sharing nudes.... you know it is getting out.

New name to watch - Will Healy

Bill belichick or just shut down the program

Fulmer hasn't coached in 12 years, was trending downwards hardcore at the end of his tenure, and left behind a bad program. Stoops has been out for 4 seasons, won 11 games 3 out of his last 4 seasons, and retired after winning the Big 12 and the Sugar Bowl. Also left a playoff caliber program to Riley.

Not. Remotely. Comparable.

Oklahoma has benefitted from having absolutely no talented opposition ever since Texas declined. Stoops ran the program on its own momentum since 2009 and Riley has done the same thing. Stoops beat Mack Brown, but again, that was back when dinosaurs walked the Earth and Phil Fulmer was still considered a top 10 coach.

I'm not saying he's a bad coach. I'm not even saying he shouldn't be a candidate. I just don't understand the infatuation... At all. Like he's the most ideal candidate behind Saban.

Anybody that does the Twitter thing, go follow our new AD. UCF fans think they’re going to deplete his list.

If dumb Fulmer was still AD, sure.
