On the Baylor front, Rhule has hired David Wetzel, fairly successful coach of Reagan High School in San Antonio and maybe more importantly current president of the Texas High School Football Coaches Association, onto the staff with his role TBA. Seems like a shrewd move since lack of Texas ties is going to be his biggest weakness coming in.

TheGreyGhost posted:He still has a house down here, and it's likely he would be promoted to UC's DC if he comes down. He's still really well like from his days at Colerain and the like, so he honestly might be a bigger coup than Fickell for them. Both are fantastic recruiters, but Coombs is exactly what that program needs right now. Hopefully Boston College fires Scuba Steve and then he can be reunited with Urbz as his OC!

So, after calming down a bit, my thoughts on Head Coach Opie: Positives: Dynamite recruiter, well liked and respected by high school coaches in Texas - hopefully this means we can keep our recruiting class mostly intact Well-connected enough in coaching circles to hire some good coordinators Cheap, so we can probably pay those coordinators pretty well Negatives: Not too inspired by his play-calling this year, but we were also hurt by having a young o-line with a ton of injuries and G5-level depth He hasn't really been wanted for an HC job - somewhere like Rice or UTSA is probably more his level for a first job Likes to bang student trainers

As long as Taggart goes after the smaller fast guys from LA like Chip did in the past then I think Oregon will be ok. Travis Jonsen was one of the top rated dual threat QBs when he was recruited, they just failed to develop him somehow.

Admittedly, OSU has survived it's HB Dive phase just because we aren't trying to do it while using John Brantley, Chris Rainey, and Jeff Demps as various flavors of inside running. The Addazio comparison at this point is heavily oriented around the similar lack of passing game

I like the fact that in Florida, you have to specify WHICH murder in your apartment building somebody is referencing. Are you talking about the one that happened last week or the one that happened a couple months ago?

My first apartment in Gainesville, the day I'm moving in, me and my brother were carrying a couch inside, and some dude directly across the street got shot in the rear end. Can't really hold that against Gainesville, though, since I was moving into Pine Ridge, the worst part of Gainesville. But yes, gently caress the Gators.

pillsburysoldier posted:His QB recruiting was pretty amazing. It just didn't make sense for what he wanted his team to do, and died off from some indiscretions on their parts. This may not be a super popular opinion, but his QB recruiting only looks amazing bc he got great production out of Tebow. Newton would've been a star if he hadn't been an idiot, and we sacrificed Snead for Brantley, who was ill-prepared for the offense. Snead would've been amazing but Meyer caved to star- and legacy-pressure. Between attrition and poor skill assessment, I'd say his QB recruitment was good on paper but actually really mediocre. Tebow made him look like a genius. Defense and OL though? He killed it. WRs outside of Harvin? Not great. Lots of attrition. That kind of poo poo happens everywhere but UF was trending downward from the moment Saban beat him into chest pains in the 09 seccg.

Also Harbaugh's team this year was basically all seniors and Meyer's was a bunch of first year starters and underclassmen. I'm glad we have decided that the second most successful coach of this generation is actually bad MourningView fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Dec 10, 2016 |

Florida fans have such a hateboner for Meyer to this day that they do everything except outright call him bad (only because they can't) so it's easy to get that impression. It's as if 2009/2010 were just last season to them. I understand there isn't much to talk about since then.
