Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[yourstruly23]

i'm not thrilled with the hire but these dudes are a bunch of clowns...

 

[Ashevolle]

I think Kiffin is overrated too. But to say JH is viewed better than Kiffin is wrong. Could he be? Of course! But not right now. I sure as hell hope he is in three years and we are kicking ass. But if Bama had an opening and it was down to JH and Kiffin, who do you think they would hire?

The optics of Kiffin are, in large part, a reflection of his shameless self-promotion. He's a glorified carnival barker. Has he had some success? Yes. Is he a top-tier coach? Hell no. And anyone who believes that isn't actually savvy but is simply swept up in Kiffin's "show". Come talk to me when he's won 60+% of his SEC games as a head coach. Then I'll give him the credit he craves.

 

[Weezer]

Do we get to claim him as having won a natty?

That was Scott Frost.

 

[Ace]

Steele is a snake in the grass that shouldn't be trusted, period. Anyone hired by Fulmer or associated with Fulmer needs to go IMMEDIATLEY

Thank you

[Kingston Vol]

No thanks on Osovet or Martinez.

The only reason I say Osovet is because he interviewed at UCF last week for the WR job.

 

[JCP201]

Facebook accepting the guy with no problem-- Twitter is having a meltdown.

 

[VOLSONLY]

I'm with you. I was just speaking to how I think he will be perceived and why. His record going down each year won't help either no matter the reasons. The perception will not be great.

But make no mistakes I'm behind the team and the coach. There's no benefit to not be. Vocally burning the program will just cripple it worse than it is.

Agree

 

[Face]

****THIS IS AN ALERT TO PREPARE YOU****


TRIGGER WARNING


JH habitually uses the word “aight”
Today at 12:05 est, there will be a press conference. At that press conference we will hear the word “aight” over and over.

DO NOT BE ALARMED.

 

[LynxVol]

I like the prospect of a Heupel team. I’m ready to see QB development like now.

This cannot be understated. Good QB play can cover up A LOT of things.

 

[LotteryPick]

Bottom line?

@Atlanta VOL was wrong. @LA Vol was right. Plowman bit off way more than she could chew and she choked. We were better off leaving Pruitt one more year then firing him. That way we didn't self report to the NCAA. Then we probably could have had Freeze, Campbell, Fickell, or Fleck because we wouldn't have these incoming crippling sanctions.

We will be back here in 4 years. Enjoy the shi*show.

Freeze wasn't an option and the other three were never coming now or a year from now. The delusion is strong.

 

[BearCat204]

I think we have a good enough roster to win 7 or 8 games this season with Heupel. Will really depend on who he brings in for the defense. Many thought that if we had played anyone but JG this past season, we would have won 3 of those 4 games we lost........I'd bet all the money I have that JG would have never seen the field this year had JH been calling the shots.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Yeah, why not? No point in bitching about others I wanted. This guy took our job when he knew he would be unpopular and we're about to get smacked by the NCAA. He has my respect just for that.

I don't think the recruiting will be good enough to make us elite. But we're going to score points and I think that gets us to 8-9 wins pretty quickly.

I agree. #fullwool for me

 

[Nashvegas31]

Maybe Eric Gray reconsiders.

 

[84Volfan]

What the hell are you talking about I wasn't ever one of the ones screaming for Pruitt to be fired after four games. The only guy I have pitched a fit about hiring is James "Rape Factory" Franklin and that was purely on conscience.

You're part of the problem is what the hell I'm talking about....

 

[drylo]

Seems unwise considering I haven’t seen our team under Heupel yet. It will also be year 1 vs year 2. He smoked Kiffin two years in a row with equal talent

I’ll go ahead and take the over.

[UpstateVol613]

Curious if your season tickets have already over to next season?

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Please give me kendall briles and a good DC. My god, bring us Mayo as DC!!!!

 

[Orange Studs]

The absolute biggest thing is for JH is to assemble a good staff. Coaches that can recruit, not the other way around. He’s gonna have to find kids for his system on offense and in the South that shouldn’t be a problem.

Gotta get good position coaches. Especially on the lines. That’s where we need the most help

I am excited. He has coached in SEC he knows what its going to take on the D side.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Okay I’m already starting to homer out.

@Bassmaster_Vol, @Ron Swanson .... you guys coming or what?

Been waiting on you bro

 

[SLICKYINC]

No thanks on Osovet or Martinez.

Osovet interviewed down at UCF last week. Think he’ll probably stay on here, but I didn’t see this coming either. So who knows.

 

[volbeast33]

JH offenses run a ton of plays, similar to what Ole Miss and Bama did this year. Both of those teams struggled on defense, not saying its not important but I don't put much stock into it

Just force turnovers, sacks, and field goals.... we will give up yards for sure.

 

[Catbone]

Freeze wasn't an option and the other three were never coming now or a year from now. The delusion is strong.

You don't know that for certain. This job is a steaming pile of shi* according to most. With no sanctions AND FU money it's completely different.
