I'm still catching up all the way from p3848.. been lurking the last couple weeks because basically all takes, no matter how hot, cold, or irrelevant have been covered. Just gotta add:
Plus Memphis' WR coach, IMG's head coach, FSU's secondary coach, and UGA's coaches from the trenches.
...
I'm not sure if the dust has settled on Pittman/Tee talk either, but we shouldn't be snubbing our noses at Friend as an OL coach, just because Pittman is perceived by us fans to be marginally better.
I'd love to bring Tee in, but it's all about timing and fit. I LOVE Coach YAC at WR, and yeah Weinke's the quiet one that we don't know tf is going on around, what his value is other than IMG ties. We also don't know how good of a RB coach Tee would be, or how much it would really matter, how he would adjust to coaching that position, etc.
Bottom line:
Pruitt
Sherrer
Rumph
Fair
Kelly
Chaney
Friend
Niedermeyer
YAC
Weinke
looks pretty damned elite to me.
In two years we're going to have at least one level of elite talent (granted we need two or three deep to compete with the big boys) at QB, OL, WR, LB, CB, S, with some dang good parts at RB and DL.
I'm happy, y'all. When does Spring Practice start up again?
