Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ulysees E. McGill]

UCF wants stability?

Lmao....isn't that exactly what UT needs? We should have taken a page from out basketball program. We needed a Rick Barnes type hire....and that should have been Malzahn.

**** no

 

[Weezer]

It's 10, HC doesn't count against that.

Thinking about it, you're right. They added another one a couple of years back.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Banks was in my personal top 3 with Conklin when names were leaking, so I'm pretty happy.

I bet the rest of the staff is announced quickly, good chance he had already agreed to Garner and that's why we saw it announced. Maybe Banks announcement was delayed slightly as he (Banks) reached out to possible assistants since he wasn't pursued as heavily early in the search.

 

[Glitch]

Now it is sleeting on top of the freezing rain. We hired a DC and hell most have frozen over and spilled out onto the earth.

 

[Batman1948]

Just make sure everyone on your team is naturally bigger, faster, and stronger. No big deal

Deer Antler Spray------buy it by the ton for the boys

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You can spin it any way you want, If Gus ends up at UCF, they have a gotten a better head coach.

**** no

 

[Jimmy Football]

I bet the rest of the staff is announced quickly

Halftime of basketball game, so I’ve heard.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

For our situation, Malzahn was a better choice than JH. Is what it is.

**** no he wasn't, and he ******* never will be...Gus sucks.

 

[drvenner]

meanwhile.....Jimmy Hyams most recent news

He will soon announce Kacy Rodgers has some interest.

 

[reecetn]

[drvenner]

You make me proud

Monty Python is legit. Do not argue with me unless you have paid for that service. And, no, I do not need getting hit in the head lessons.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I am starting to think that we are either the craziest or the dumbest fanbase anywhere...frickin Gus Mehlzahn..you gotta be frickin kidding me..

 

[Nashvegas31]

Can someone confirm the ink is dry? Tweets do nothing for me these days.

Thamel broke the new so it’s def done. Dw is his source

 

[MoCo_Vol]

All I know is Penn State has had 14 defensive guys drafted since 2016 (when Banks started there). If he can bring us that same energy then we'll be fine.

 

[Smokey'sHandler]

Ranking DC guys that we had extensive talks with or offered in order:

1. House
2. Banks
3. Rodgers
4. Conklin
5. Washington
6. Blake Baker (Don’t know where in the world this one came from)

I would have loved House as a hire due to his track history with development of LBs, NFL experience and being a former DC in the SEC. But Banks I believe is a solid #2.

 

[drvenner]

Wait.... Who's he Co-DCing with?

I thought this said De-Icing. Given the weather, it was an appropriate remark.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Who is going to coach LBs? When is Spring Practice? Why haven't we hired a Special Teams Coordinator? DW and JH suck! I'm done with this ****show. We never should have fired Pruitt. This fall I'm going to find other stuff to do on Saturday.
Am I doing this right?

 

[Batman1948]

VN would implode if he brings along Kevin Steele.

I'm gonna go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out on a limb and say that ain't gonna happen

 

[Nashvegas31]

Penn State was 24th in passing yards allowed in 2020 with 198.6 yards and 42nd in completion percentage given up at 59%. If that's "not very good" I'll freaking take it in a heartbeat! We finished 104th in yards and 125th in completion percentage for comparison.

I’ve learned that if there is one positions that fans rarely like their position coach it’s DBs lol. Give up any play and you suck.

For me Conklin was 1 and House 3, with Rodgers moving to 4. Otherwise same list.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Ribs and wings for the smoker

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

If he wins 8 or 9 there next year, the whiners are going to get really loud.

It is stupid if they do.

 

[Vols4us]

Wonder if he will be co-DC here or sole DC?

I believe Thamel - DC.

The gripe I think is the lack of INTs. But part of that I'm sure has to do with the Big 10 being still very run heavy offensively. Ultimately though if your secondary can keep completions and yards low that's good enough for me. I think we'll generate a lot more INTs than Penn State just cause so many SEC teams throw a lot, and we'll hopefully have leads forcing them to be one dimensional.

MehGill bait.
