It just doesn't seem intelligent or aware to be touting analytics for a guy who has coached two years.

Nobody knows of receiver coaches, but you can see who these guys have been around and who they have coached around - that can matter a lot. Davis just has no experience.

The analytics people saying : "We rated UA's coordinators as not great, and see we told you." Come on, perhaps UT misses a field goal, and LSU misses a two point conversion, and this story cannot be told.

Neither agreeing or disagreeing with this statement but wonder why you’d say this concerning the Davis hire??

Seems like there are other former players, including Burns or Reed, Freeze would’ve hired for WR coach if the boosters were meddling.

What he did after that….who knows


Pretty sure he had a TD in the FSU game as well. (Nvm on that one) He definitely won us the game vs MSU in 2013 with like 5 receptions on the final drive. (That point still stands.)

Why? Because he’s a former Auburn football player?

Should we have just not brought back Trovon Reed, Caddy Williams and Zac Etheridge because they’re former Auburn players, JABA, etc even though they’re our best recruiters?

Please.

Was Rodney Garner bad? Dameyune Craig? Tracy Rocker? Hell, even Kodi Burns coaches NFL WR now.

Agree. After all the Freeze hires they finally had enough and put their foot down with the WR coach.

Aside from the well-known coordinators, this reminds me when Tubs was hired, except Tubs didn't keep anyone but Joe Whitt. I remember thinking, who the hell are these guys?

The second he lands a top WR from south Florida everyone here will act like they knew he could do it, and act like they knew he was a great hire

TT,


Marcus can be a good hire. I expect it from Freeze. Peeler and Heard were no names at that point too.

It just seems cheap and the analytics sell not very convincing.

Jang he will be fine, he lands a south FL WR and all will be forgotten. If not, replace him next offseason. Seems low risk, high reward. We certainly have plenty of experience on staff, and among analysts if he needs anything. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a great recruiter.

The list of "no names" he hired help pull a top 15 class out of a porta john toilet. I'm going to wait to panic until it's time to panic. And when it's time to panic, you know I will freak the frick out

We are still talking about it, but you admitted you’re late, so you only get a 3* star analytics based on your tardiness.

3* star ranking isn't bad for a new guy
