we need coaches to instill those qualities in the talented players we successfully recruit. Of course I know you know that, but I am disheartened to see these portal players come in and show up our in-house guys.
I could argue either way but I am inclined to have some faith in the ranking systems. A four might really be more like a three, but you can take a decent three and make him play his rear end off. I'd rather have a motivated three star guy than an unmotivated four star. I have to agree that evaluation is always a factor, but I also believe that in our case motivation is more of one. I just don't think that Mack is firing these guys up, at least not consistently. Remember the first game this past season against South Carolina? Hard to argue against the talent we displayed in that game. I thought we were finally going to see something worth crowing about. Guess not, it just seemed to go away..
It isn't all that common for you to see a complete revamp of half the house. Sometimes you'll see assistants follow a DC from one place to another, but I don't think it is common for an HC to "fire" an entire side of the ball.
I'll take your word for that, but I would have said that the new coordinator usually has the option of cleaning house either on hire or once on site..
What you see in the better 1AA programs is a whole lot of guys who are fiercely hungry to prove that they belong on the field with anybody. They just work and fight with every ounce of energy they can muster. I see none of that with our DL guys. They are soft and complacent, satisfied.
Kelly and LSU just fired 4 assistants on the D side.
Due in large part to their Heisman winning QB. Their D ranked 101 in total D, 89th in rushing D, 104th in passing D while giving up 28ppg. That isn't going to cut it at a place like LSU, because it just means more.
If UNC is truly ready to try to play Big Boy football it’s only 2 guys….
but Mack stays on board in some capacity because it's good for the image and for recruiting.
they get a large part of that hungry disposition from their coaches. That's why I always say, where is Carl Torbush now that we really need him. Or Denny Marcin.
I have no problem with that…Help with NIL funds and other funding for the football program but he would have no hands in day to day operations at all…
Mack named Associate AD for football or Fund Raising would be great. As long as he has no say who is part of the football staff. Mack is a silver tongue who can raise funds and smooth talk.
exactly what I was thinking, except make that 'and' instead of 'or' if he'd do it.
Must been part of his schemes... can't coach & laugh all the way to the bank $$
