Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Fired after leading the Big12 in rushing and 3rd in conference in ppg at 36.2.

Stoops made the move bc he wanted to go with more of a passing offense, which was not Heupel’s philosophy at the time. But dude was putting up points.

The whole football world knew that firing was nuts when it happened. Fired for not covering enough for the incompetence of Bob's brother. In retrospect Heupel said it was the best thing that could have happened to him for his career though.
 
So because I apparently love to self-harm, I made the mistake of listening to Hyams today while I went grocery shopping. First he railed about how UT didn't give Dale Jones an interview for DC. Said Dale expressed interest, and that Rodgers and the Louisville DC had vouched for him, but UT never contacted him. Jimmy seemed indignant.

Then he had Dr. Jerry Punch on. I normally like Dr. Jerry, but today he and Jimmy went on about how UT should have hired Steele and brought back John Chavis and Dan Brooks.

I really wish we could get some intelligent sports radio hosts in Knoxville.

Dale Jones would have been a disaster
Steele would have been a disaster
Banks may be a disaster (time will tell), but at least he is young, hungry and on the rise
 
I think Crouch might be okay as an OLB, I just don't think he's suited for inside.
If he gained about 20 Lbs he could be a prototype edge rusher. Size, speed, not to much to worry about other than don't get beat outside on a sweep and get the QB, pretty simple.

The same could be said for HT but he would need to add about 35-40 lbs. If he transfers to that other school he had better be ready to be a situation player, he isn't big enough to play in the middle and not strong or quick enough to cover a TE or a RB in the flat or out of the backfield. He is not a every down type guy. IMHO

Rogers could have been a disaster

Conklin could have been a disaster

House could have been a disaster

Washington could have been a disaster

Nobody knows anything until you see it on the field.
 
Sorry but you have no idea who has or has not actually turned down a contract offer. This guy has been a DC for a long time and has worked with James Franklin for 5 years, is a good recruiter and knows the state. I am all in.
Proof is in yhe puddin'. I got nothing but hope that he kills it. But a dose of reality doesn't hurt. At minimum, Wash, House, Rodgers were ahead of him.
