Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Vols4us]

Do we not like Willie Martinez?

I thought our DBs always played pretty well under him to be honest.

I know pressure influences the stats, but UCF was #121 at 299 yards per game for passing by opponents. Martinez is a zone coverage guy that was fired by UGA, hired by Botch at Cincy, brought to UT, was sent packing with Jancek and now does what he does at UCF.

What’s the update on Muschamp and his long visit with Alabama a week ago?

I think he was visiting Georgia

 

[orangeB]

How many people do you think @Neyland Rising has on ignore now? I bet he can stay caught up pretty quick now. I’m at 10 and I still get pages behind.

Ok . Any updates ?

 

[tomq_123]

I think coming in year one of a 6 year contract for head coach is pretty attractive.

Especially with a somewhat decent roster.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I hope the NCAA goes knocking on Oklahoma’s door or at least the guys who transferred have to sit over all this crap. I’m feeling petty af about it right now.

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Why would you hate this hire? Just curious the thinking.

Wanted more experienced coach. We ruined that with our phony self investigation. He’s riding off Scott frost’s recruits. Yes he’s a good OC but HC is debatable. He has more losses each year he has coached. He also doesn’t need to be calling the plays he’s the head coach that’s what the OC is for. Guess we will have to wait and see but I see another Pruitt

Confidence? Juice? And Swagger? We talking about the next flavor of Gatorade or a Head Coach here?

no, no , no..... not Gatorade. Those are old spice body wash fragrances !

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Any timeline on assistant hires?

The...time...is...now?

 

[Paper_Towel]

I've hated Oklahoma ever since 2015

 

[Devo182]

I hope you are right, but Scott Frost brought his coaches to Nebraska...

Fair enough, but Frost also never coached in the B1G before. Heupel has the advantage of having been in the SEC before...and scoring big in it. He understands the league and how to beat it.

I have a list of schools I want the NCAA to look into, if they're interested.

 

[Batman1948]

Apparently Oklahoma likes our roster.

They gonna maybe win a Natty with our guys help

 

[TennSam]

I thought that he was referring to the media as outsiders, not the fanbase...

Could be but he put out a tweet after Pruitt got fired .

The only season we've had a better ranking in total defense than Jancek's last season was last year under Pruitt. It's sad, but there are days I miss that defense.

Lol. But I see your point. Not too impressive when you look at the full body of work.

And our D hasn’t been good since

I’ll take him back. In fact I’ll take both of rhem
Back

 

[Vols4us]

Dang, I really like Elarbee, hoping he comes for O-Line.

Davis is a star. Big time get if it were to happen.

 

[Wickman]

Brick Haley a name to watch on dline per AP

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

SIAP

Could the big time portal players be the Happy Meal recipients? Are they running because the cash flow is gone?

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Seriously. To allegedly get caught taking cash and then bailing on the school you ****ed over is trash.

So no Garner?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Brick Haley a name to watch on dline per AP

Dont hate that name. Mizzou has had a solid D line for a few years now.

 

[volfaninpa]

If Heupel is talking to the Arkansas O-line coach, then could that mean he's targeting Kendall Briles too?

 

[Wickman]

Maybe we just pay the staff with all the money we didn’t spend. Overpay for anyone that is with it

 

[ALStateLineVol]

I agree. Especially with losing offensive talent and having come from Chaney's broken offense. It will take a year just to install and teach them how to practice uptempo, etc.

Love our QB + WRs, but losing gray and morris hurts. RB is very unproven and OL could be a question and TE room is thin (really hope Campbell shows out though).

But scheme overcomes a lot. I still am optimistic we can hit high 20s PPG for the first time in...*checks notes*...FIVE YEARS?!?

If this team can get the normal (hated to use that word) amount of time this Spring, it would go a long, long ways in how productive they can be in he Fall. Will take some time to learn an entire new offense and we desperately need it early.
