Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Kingston Vol]

Not sure if this has been posted, but Hyams is on the radio right now saying Pruitt isn’t going to the Jets.

 

[HankHill]

Okay so I've calmed down a bit today and I am over the temper tantrum of the hire---- BUTTTTT, you have to agree that we MUST get a strong Defensive staff that can recruit and develop players, or all of this is toast.

Of course we do.... but literally every coach needs that. Lol

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Maybe we will actually see him and everyone else have a defined role and not change positions every 3 weeks.

This is what I'm most excited about. Get guys in a position and let them actually learn the position and grow. Quit the damn cross training.

That bowl ban doesn’t need to be self imposed until game 7-8 next year

Wonder if they consulted the Ncaa about skipping this year's bowl?

@TrippieRedd or someone give me a reason this isn’t a red flag though... please

Oversimplification. 10 players opted out for Covid, most on defense, still only lost those 4 games by 12 total pts.

 

[Ashevolle]

Whoops, I didn’t know that “lock our border” down has been used here over the last 12 years...

I say we build a wall and make Alabama pay for it

2 Major QB injuries. Lots of opt outs due to COVID

Go look at the scores and who they played. UCF was actually better in the S&P in 2018 and 2019 than they were under frost during the undefeated season. And the losses were all one possession games. This year two of the losses were to white hot Cincinnati and BYU. Oh and he had a trash DC at UCF, if he upgrades it could be a game changer

Been explained my guy! I forgot who did, but it was a really good analysis. Scroll back.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Does JH call his own plays @HankHill ?

They asked Hank and he said Hell no

 

[Kingston Vol]

Also Heupel says he will call plays on offense, so that might be a dealbreaker for someone like Lebby.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Not the worst hire. We went for the A grade hires, but the penalties/sanctions and toughness of this job was too much IMO.

And he could be an A hire with the right staff imo

Thank you

 

[HankHill]

Yes.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah, will be interesting to see how we recruit the ‘22 class. Hopefully most the players stay here from Pruitt’s last few top 20 classes.

If Heupel can consistently recruit top 20 to start & we start winning while scoring points I think the classes can be top 10-15 easily, regardless of coach.

Hard to go anywhere but down after a 12-1 season. This year they had like 10 opt outs and a REALLY bad defense. Seriously they were a good defensive staff away from being 9-1/8-2 and almost no one would be questioning the hire then.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Which WRs shine next year? I am excited to see Hyatt not only stretch the field but work on his overall route running to complement his deep threat. Who else joins him?

And programs like that aren’t set up for sustained success. 3 years of double digit wins is A LOT.

 

[Ashevolle]

I think we would all feel better about it if we had thought of it first. Seriously we collectively talked ourselves into almost every coach in the country in here except this guy. He was right under our nose the whole time.

His resume is good enough for this job. Wish we had landed Campbell specifically. But I'm at least glad we got a coach with some imagination on offense. That's a welcome change. He's got a lot of work to do but excited to watch our current players get a chance to thrive and have fun.

I still have to respect someone willing to take this task on. Hats off to Heupel for having the balls to think he can come in here and right the ship. I'm pulling for him. Campbell's loss.

Doesn’t Kiffin call plays at Ole Miss?

Well in 2019 his QB broke his leg and he had to play a freshman and in 2020 he had 10 players opt out including 3 starters I believe

ALL OF THEM!
