Add in Elliott for good measure. Let the AD change throw some spice and error into the coordinator hires, and we could have us an entertaining Holiday Season watching the taters melt....
re: If Beamer doesn’t fire Satterfield

I would have liked to seen more variety, especially given most of it had to have come from scratch. But if we had to simplify at the bye to have any success, I guess we just weren't able to get creative. Still wouldn't fire him, unless Mullen or someone wants to OC for us.
Agree on Adkins, wonde...

A trip to the final four vs 5 one and done tourney trips absolutely sits better with me. Tells me they're getting in because of the politics of deciding who gets in, vs their actual ability. Which further emboldens me to say SC has had more than one deserving team, based on ability, that were snubbe...

And yet we have won more tourney games than them in the last 20 years ?? It's almost like being in the ACC pays off for them in two sports, even if in different ways....

Well we have at least 2 perennial championship contenders on our schedule every year. Rather than go around with a championship or bust mentality, lets keep it simple and focus on being able to beat those 2 teams, with their polar opposite styles on both sides of the ball, and adapt our gameplan for...

I'll be happy with beating UGA and/or clemson every year. If we get there, barring a colapse from them, the title situation would be much more attainable.
As for a recruiting class, I haven't seen much on our targets for this next cycle, so I don't know where we will end up. Without even seeing ...

Well I agree if he went somewhere tomorrow he could bring in talent day one. I'm just not sure he could sustain his overall success somewhere else. I think he has built a great program, but I don't think he is as personally responsible for that success as the other "great" coaches who have won a cha...

This was my favorite reading. I was able to follow more on my own a few years ago, but CT always had at least the targets you could pick up and go look into yourself. I can't get hung up on the positivity or negativity of individual posters, but I enjoy seeing people share information....

[quote]I disagree completely, and it would be eaten up by schools in the south for sure[/quote]
It's not that a given school wouldn't like it. It's that you can't hop schools if your primary recruiting pitch is I'm a jackass, but we're a family that sticks together. If your primary pitch is everw...

[quote]He does exactly what Dabo does, hire top coordinators and analysts[/quote]
Dabo hasn't hired a coordinator in five years. I can't name a coach on his staff other than Elliott and Venables. I'm honestly not sure the coaching acumen has much to do with the success. It goes back to keeping it...

What he does is attract grade A talent to a D grade conference where that talent gets him a perfect season, every year. His biggest annual competition is FSU and us, so yeah...
So he takes advantage of an easy season, players all healthy, and 2 games left he's spent all season preparing for (deci...
re: The Optimistic Thread @$$hole.
Posted by TaterMashinCock on 2/11/21 at 7:06 am
Which brings me to the next point. Even if Dabo does maintain his talent gap, what the hell is he coaching that makes him great? He wins 1-2 big games a year with usually all his players, that he likely gets to gameplan for all year bc of the ACC schedule. There really aren't a lot of schools he cou...

To me, the competitive advantage he has that even keeps him in the running is his ability to attract talent. I couldn't even tell you his coaching style, other than keeping it "all in" the family under the lord's watchful eye. Yet, he has an All-SEC roster playing an ACC schedule. I'm just not sure ...

He's running a great program. A simple test to him being one of the best is simply, how well do you think he could replicate his success anywhere else besides maybe Bama with a smooth transition from Nick?...

This is what I like to see. I don't care what big headed "proven" coach we could have picked up, if they can't hire a bunch of analysts to keep them ahead of the gane, they'll be failing in a few years regardless. Get us some energetic football schemers that love to break down the game, strengths an...
