re: We are fricked

Very much agree. Sometimes it’s warranted, but Silverfield is no better or worse of a hire than names like Golesh, Morris, Summrall, etc. - they are all potential Billy Napiers until they prove otherwise. And the players that were “losing” weren’t good anyway and didn’t want to be here. I never liked Sam Pittman bc I don’t think it was wise to hire a career OL coach as a D1 football coach in the SEC, but I gave him a chance to dig his own grave and I think a lot of us did as much as we could. When we start playing, we will know whether or not Silverfield writes checks he can cash. Honestly, I was skeptical about the Calipari hire other than loving the Kentucky melt - but so far, pretty decent. If Yuracek will just screw off and stop stepping on his own dick and creating a trickle-down effect, we might just win. Don’t know if we’ll ever get back to where we were during Petrino’s first run - that was also a small sample size and we had some great in-state recruiting combined with a highly disciplined coach with an eye for talent and development. With NIL, there’s a lot more parity, so things are just different than they were in the 2010s. Back then, if you were winning, it was typically a lot easier to recruit well consistently and have consistently good results(with good coaching).

An oline coach that has ample head coaching experience and won 10+ games multiple seasons

Experience Pittman lacked.

So he has the energy of Chad Morris & the position coach experience of Pittman, with a better resume than both. Not the first time I’ve thought the powers that be might’ve finally found in Silverfield what they thought they found in Morris & Pittman.
