Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[nicksjuzunk]

butch made big mistakes but playcalling wasn’t an issue until he made the grave mistake of hiring Larry scott.

brian Kelley had one awful year and was allowed to clean house and has fixed it. It’s very reasonable to think Butch could have us in a much better spot today than where we are now if allowed to survive his one bad year. Remember how good he was recruiting at that time.

Sorry it’s not popular here but the post butch years have buried us deep

Continuing with Butch would have likely been better than Pruitt but he had lost his locker room. My guess is we are looking at 7 win seasons the last few years, which in hindsight….

Still take Heupel

Are we allowed to criticize seasons that win 0 conference games? The 2017 team makes the 2020 team look like national champions.

Sure. Awful year that made it clear changes needed to be made. However making a head coaching change proved to be the wrong change

He said he’s head over the hills for her, it’s worth it to him. @Catbone, I know girl thinking. If she says she misses you after a breakup and going to couples therapy and you were just dating, she’s still interested. It’s either she’s scared or there’s something about your relationship that is bugging the crap out of her, but don’t want to let go. Either that or she’s bat sh!t crazy.

I can't stop laughing - but so true.

What the hell have you been sniffing, smoking,, ingesting, injecting, butt-chugging?????????????

You took the bait.

No pruitt was just the wrong replacement.

If your engine dies and you replace it with another dead engine, doesn’t mean you didn’t need to replace it. Just means you need to find the right replacement.

Yep, hope with Heup. Too many bricks with Botch.

 

[volbeast33]

He wasn’t but the problem is that coach to “to take us where we want to go” hasn’t been found yet and likely isn’t going to be. The “where we want to go” expectations of this program are “old school” and I hate to remind people that bama and Georgia and the entire SEC isn’t Fulmer era “old school” anymore.


8-9 win seasons are the ceiling for this SEC era and we ran the only man of the last 4 coaches we have had that could do it out of town.

You do know that he had hit rock bottom, don’t you?

No lane was just the wrong replacement

No Derek was just the wrong replacement

No butch was just the wrong replacement

No Jeremy was just the wrong replacement



there has been one thing constant

Right and that one thing throughout all of that is your continued $hitposting

No

I think 2017 was like brian Kelly’s 2016

And that AD damn sure didn’t hire whom
He wanted

Amazing how people forget things around here good grief

 

[bignewt]

I didn’t want to be the one to say it, but I’m not in keeper leagues.

I have a very special, intense hate for keeper leagues. Destroys what is the funnest part of fantasy football, the draft. 12 team redraft league or GTFO.

right.. but instead of hitting the panic button and hiring an unknown like Pruitt, he went with a guy he trust to at the very least run the program the right way.. that's a step in the right direction

 

[WarMachine]

Maybe Heuple doesn't get us where we want to go, but he gets us on a better path than we've been on for years, IMO.

Facts only.

Sorry, Cat, I have not had time to get on today. It's awesome that you're willing to work on the relationship. Maybe we all needed to do this before marriage so there would not be so many divorces. Glitch is so right about The 5 Love Languages. It not only helps with couples but for parents also. So even if it does not end up working out for you two, the counseling and the book could really give you help with another relationship. Everyone else was also right in it takes both people giving their all everyday to make a marriage work. And we all love you so you know you are worth having someone to love you back. ......Married 35 years + 4 dating

All I saw was a woman say that I was right and then I passed out and hit my head on the coffee table.

What day is it?

 

[BruinVol]

Time will tell on that.

Imo the most important hire DW makes is the next head football coach

 

[tn88volfan]

AK ranked the #14 player in the NFL. His highlight tapes are just insane. Him and Devin Hester just look like they’re playing a different game.

not bad for a Butch Jones backup

 

[Pacer92]

Lane was a good hire. The rest were terrible hires by incompetent leadership.

I think we are finally serious about winning in sports with the DW hire. The ceiling from here on out is 8-9 wins? That’s ridiculous...

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Need a little VN love.

Who gets your vote for the Defensive Player of the Week?

Can ya give Isaac Jones a vote? He had a monster game and it's a friends kid, would be the world to him to win this. Voting closes at noon today. Thanks!

For the next 5-7 years yea 8-9 wins is the ceiling

Florida-bama-Georgia must cycle down before we can do better

 

[Pacer92]

Based on? Previous coaching incompetence?

 

[triadvolfan]

The head coach we hired proved to be the wrong change.

Keeping Butch would have been a disaster. A coach that goes winless in conference in year 5 won't recover. Recruiting takes too big a hit.

He was recruiting like wildfire when fired.
