[quote] That explains why he can shift between rush heavy and pass heavy so seamlessly I guess. And the last “elite QB” he had (Hooker) was an afterthought recruited by Pruitt that was lampooned on tRant as a one read only QB. Heupel is at his best when he is improvising. He needs a competent du...
[quote]Not at all. But we do have standards around here and you didn’t do your homework. #3 defense is unremarkable I guess. [/quote] I did my homework. We just disagree what constitutes "remarkable"....
[quote]Considering Elko was the DC at Notre Dame for multiple years under Kelly when they played in major bowl games, I think he’ll be fine. The fact that A&M had the #3 defense during his first stop under Jimbo. And considering he recruited over half of the 2022 recruiting class. All of these...
[b]Tennessee - Josh Heupel:[/b] Josh is 55-20 over 5 seasons at UCF and UT. Heupel's entire coaching philosophy is dependent on an elite QB and a stable of tall, fast receivers. Heupel is rigid in his offensive approach (too rigid) and doesn't scheme to his teams strengths well enough to beat team...
[b]Kentucky - Mark Stoops:[/b] Good guy doing his best. Mark has been at Kentucky for 11 loooooong years. He's has lost 61% of the SEC games played with no improvement year over year. Kentucky could be a contender with the right coach. Mark Stoops peaked at Kentucky the day he got the job - but ...
[quote]Did Saban do a better job in his first 7 years getting his players mentally prepared to win? If so one has to wonder why his record as so damned lousy relative to Smart's in their first 7 years. Saban was not a great coach in his first 7 years. Smart is. He is still pretty young also....[/quo...
[quote]You’re stupid. Kirby does not regularly lose games. He wins. He now owns the longest winning streak in the country. He can and does get the best out of his teams - 3 perfect regular seasons and 2 natties should be proof enough of that- even for you. Kirby would be a success at any school. He...
[quote]You haven’t literally nothing to base this off of[/quote] You're right - Just my perception of Kirby throughout his career. I think the mental side of the game is where Kirby falls a little short. Great coaches coach every aspect of their teams - with extra special attention given to the me...
[quote]This is a really bad take considering since 2020 Kirby has only lost four games with a record of 50-4, three of which were to Saban and the other one was during the 2020 season where the team was a bit of mess[/quote] I'm not down on Kirby - I just think there are quite a few college coaches...
[quote]quote: regularly loses games he's supposed to win Kirby didn’t lose a game for 2 years. So this is factually stupid quote: nd can't get the best out of his teams sometimes Either the most banal statement about coaching 18-21 y/o’s ever made, or, you’re disingenuously comparing him to w...
[quote]I think they can. People slip through the cracks in all facets of life, coaching isn't any different. Who's to say a guy like Lance Liepold wouldn't have won multiple natties if he gets a chance at an elite program earlier in his career?[/quote] Can't and won't argue with your honest belie...
[quote]The way fans judge a coach is incredibly interesting to me. A bounce here and there changes our entire perception about him, even though those results likely weren't even caused by his ability or inability. We make judgements about "creativity" or "playcalling" even though the average f...
[quote]He’s never seen year 3 as a head coach. There are tons of questions about his non existent track record. Why do Bama fans not see this? Dude had 4 years as a head coach spread over 2 programs. That’s it. There is nothing else on the resume. No recruiting track record, no staff building, no...
[quote]What a myopic list.[/quote] It's the first 5 - listed alphabetically Sheesh :rolleyes:...
[b]Alabama - Kalen DeBoer:[/b] Unquestionably successful track record running bold, aggressive offensive schemes. Defense is a total question mark? Recruiting is a question mark? Major defensive coaching skills questions. The SEC requires GREAT defenses to win big games. [b]Grade: B[/b] Optimi...

[quote]Saban didn’t build teams with any of those things. He built them by giving kids a shite ton of money under the table and then locking them in by bullshitting them about the “process” when they couldn’t transfer. There’s a reason his decline coincided with NIL and open transfer rules, let’s not...

The modern coach

Posted by TrendingRight on 1/10/24 at 8:57 pm
Building a college football team thru recruiting and player development is over. It's all about money now. Players will do anything and go anywhere for the money. It's the way of the world. Not unfair or wrong - but different. The days of amateur athletics are over forever - and so are the grea...
I'd like to know if Saban considered Glenn Schumann in his DC search after Golding's departure. ...
This is a good question - and complicated. Kiffin is his own worst enemy. If he can ever get out of his own way and focus on the "whole" task at hand he can be great. At Alabama he had one job: Make the offense fly. He did that in spectacular fashion. He didn't have to make the tough game-decid...

re: The State of Louisiana

I didn't read the rest of the thread. All I saw is the header "The State of Louisiana" and the first thing that came to mind was how ugly the geography is north, south, east and west. Having lived there and owned several businesses spread across all four corners of the state there for several dec...
