Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[JT3]

I believe Freeman is in play for VT as well.

That would be a good job to take.

 

[butchna]

I'm not sure he would want it.

Never shown aspirations to be a DC…or HC. I think he’s happy teaching and recruiting. As far as “keeping him”? That’s never been an issue. He left us to be able to coach DL and left UGA for his alma mater. Since Harsin is an idiot, we benefit from him not being a mercenary. He will get paid.

Heupel is probably enjoying this as much as anyone after he was the scapegoat for the Stoops brothers, then they hired Riley to replace Heupel and Stoops stepped down. Now OU's chosen successor Riley left OU high and dry because he has no loyalty to the program/culture, while Heupel would have stayed there and given his all for forever.

That was the first thing that went through my mind when this news broke also...

Suck it Okie

If Heup pulls TCU RB Zach Evans from the portal

He is finally in the Portal?

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

You hearing something??

AP said he's looking at Kentucky

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Impressive results. Best DC Leach has ever been associated with.

I thought Grinch was great at Wazzou

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Doubt Riley gives two *****. I’d pay 10x that CA income tax to get the **** out of Oklahoma.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I just think he’s limited physically at that position

In what way? Listed at 6'7" and 325lbs

Seems to be in better shape than Ollie or Lampley are at this point in the season. I feel like with Dayne a lack of experience and technique were his biggest issues, both you can improve with more reps and practice though.

I interrupt our coaching search and transfer portal conversation with some amazing technological advances in the beer consumption world.....

What sorcery is this

Very good…not so much since at other locales. Arnett’s better.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Gets just a little more mass on him this off-season and he is gunna be a beast. Has started to lower his shoulder on runs.

That’s where NPA funnels kids. Guess Kentucky pays well. Congrats Supercuts gonna be able to get some Red Lobster after this transaction.

So hypothetical…. Who would be a realistic short list for DC if Banks takes a HC gig?

I’d look at the Mississippi State DC Zach Arnett. Very young guy from San Diego state runs a 3-3-5 defense and is very aggressive with playcalling. He basically held the fort down for them at State past few seasons even without much talent and his defenses at SDSU were phenomenal

Can you name any Coach that moved within the same conference division: Lane is about the only one crass and awkward enough to do it.

 

[drylo]

Does he go to class?

From the looks of it, I’m going to say that’s a no.

I'll give you the argument that Dayne is potential better than Lampley and Lane based on what we've seen so far. Doesn't mean all three shouldn't be anything more than depth. Let's get some plug and play OL from the portal and have plenty for next season.

Gibbs would be a stud in Heups O..

What is so bad about Oklahoma? Have you been to LA lately, I have been there twice this year and it is the most disgusting and unsafe feeling place I've ever visited, with San Francisco a very close second.

 

[engineerVOL]

Member when we said that when Wilcox left?....I member..

We’re ranked 85th, there’s room for improvement. But I do hate staff turnover.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

If he did, I think you give that job to RG. Not only has he earned it, but what better way to keep him here long term?

BJM also would be a good choice to promote.

Hell we almost didn't get him here because of the Co-DC title Michigan was trying to give him.

I also like the idea of Mike Tressel DC at Cincinnati.. he was DC under Dantonio at Michigan State for awhile had great defenses. Went to Cincinnati under Fickell and they’ve improved. He’s the nephew of the famed sweater vest Former Ohio State HC Jim Tressel Also relatively young at 47

I hope you're right, he definitely has the size, and I'm pulling for him, but he seems to be as slow twitch as it gets...but maybe it is just because he is learning.
