Recruiting Forum: Football Talk XVI

[Catbone]

Has not coached within the past 3 years.

Does not run a similar style offense.

Has not been an OC within the past 6 years.

Is not known to be a good recruiter.

Is this accurate?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

worst hire in UT history... including Dooley. Butch is one stubborn ass individual

Pretty sure I'll see him coach on the field before making such a brash statement

 

[NochNoch]

haha no it's just common sense my man... it's almost laughable.

You are the best clown ever.

Like Ronald level.

Bro, our agenda is to score a lot of points. Based on his body of work, which is the only thing you can really base anything on, most of us are not encouraged with the potential hire.

Seemingly worse, Tennessee is a pretty hot coaching destination now, given recent recruiting and improvement. It appears we could hire an OC with more OC success, given reports.

Admittedly, none of us know enough about football to make these hires, and there are other issues (staff dynamics, position coaching, salaries, philosophy).

That being said, I'm just not impressed, and will gladly accept being wrong. Bring on the yards :hi:

Sums it up perfectly :hi:

Yes. There are a lot of things here that are very laughable.

And Butch was the wrong guy, CJJ and CWM were just SEC has beens, CZA was a up north guy who didn't fit, CSS was an old bald white guy, blah,blah,blah.

LOL

Is DeBord even more of a sure thing now? Anything official?

Truth right there... The way that was written by Brice tells me all I need to know. DeBord has a job, exactly what job and what responsibilities remain to be seen.

That's what I was thinking. What tells me the story is The fact they have all this info on debord, he's been here two days meeting players and all they can say about other candidates is that they are sure he's vetting them. Yet they have no other names. Butch has his guy unfortunately.

His grandchildren might be able to set it up for him

 

[Brillovol]

Bliss. Sheer bliss.

 

[abrock42]

this is what makes college football so beautiful tho... just beautiful.

What the hell is Rucker talking about with "DeBord helped usher in the spread at a couple of programs"?

He was at Michigan from 92-99, where they ran the typical 3 yards and a cloud of dust under Lloyd Carr. DeBord did try the spread at CMU, where he went 12-34 from 2000-03. After getting fired, he returned to Michigan as a ST/TE coach from 04-07 once again under Carr. Everything after that was as a TE coach in the league and everything before was as an OL coach at smaller schools where I doubt he had any input in offensive philosophies.

night angel 😘

The public perception is meaningless. People will ***** and moan, and then they'll get over it. Having Dobbs speak does sound strange unless this guy changed his life in the past 48 hours or something though.

Personally public perception is meaningless to me. But if Dobbs is speaking for that reason, then that tells me the coaches are worried about this.

Personally I won't be satisfied with DeBord unless I see progress on the field. This hire is alarming to me. I wanted Jake out but I feel muh worse now than I did Thursday morning.

Yeah, well, when Hart heard that he gave Butch his first big break AND he was available without paying a buyout, his eyes lit up.

2 straight SECE championships? oops
