I just have this terrific ability to guess right without being a member to any pay site! I will admit I know a bunch of former players and a few current but that doesn't mean anything on hear because I was told they don't know anything so..... I feel you. At Thanksgiving my cousin was talking about how cool it would be to land Kiffin. I was like, “Kiffin is a mess that would just give us more headaches”. He was like, “Nah man”. Then I said, “Yeah man”. I still haven’t forgiven him for not believing me. If he gives me a cookie though, I might reconsider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An AU alum btw, who played for Dye. This guy- Charles Kelly, Safeties Coach (FB), Alabama Crimson Tide (247sports.com) And why did HF fire Ike Hilliard, former NCAA All American, who played over 10 seasons in the NFL and then coached NFL wide receivers more than 10 seasons and now chose to hire a rookie ? And how do you know that MD is an ace recruiter, because no recruiting service has ever mentioned him........AT ALL, ever since he finished at AU ? HF has hired a rookie. Why is this the first DC job Charles kelly has got since FSU several years ago and it’s only at Colorado? That should be your answer. Ike is a nfl lifer who spent a 1 year pit stop at a college job. He will go back to being a nfl coach in a few weeks I imagine. Edited December 30, 2022 by GwillMac6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You act like Freeze is acting in a vacuum. He is not. Caddy and many other employees of the athletic department know the people and are there to advise. Those of the old staff who weren't retained were let go for a reason. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches can only do so much in that regard. None of the coaches teach the WRs to drop wide open passes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you with 100% certainty that any receiver who has been recruited and signed to play for an SEC school has been "taught" how to catch the ball. This commentary grinds my gears so hard. There is no magical coaching technique to catching the football that only the "best" WR coaches know lmao. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought we’d do better. We had momentum with the quick and solid recruiting class. Guessing we missed on some better recruiters/coaches. Why would the analytics thing be humorous? This analytics firm was instrumental in staffing at Oregon State and Tulane. Oregon State was 10-3 this season and Tulane was 11-2. Neither of those two schools are historically easy to win at (Tulane in particular is generally very bad at football) and the success that they just had is pretty unprecedented. The same analytics firms basically nailed our 2022 season to a tee. I listened to a lot of Dave Bartoo commentary: the man predicted exactly how much we'd suck. He even predicted that Harsin would be fired midseason and that Freeze would be hired. This reeks of glossing over something that you have zero actual understanding of and then claiming that it's silly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronCrazy 1,057 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 The issue with a good WR coach is not our WR’s catching the ball, it is getting separation with footwork and blocking on the perimeter. That’s coaching. Catching the ball is solely on the focus of the WR at this point in their career. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottomfeeder 244 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Did we get beat because of poor receiver performance? What about pass protection? The two are synonymous. What about quarterback performance? I'm truly more concerned about our secondary strengths and weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But me personally I don't care too much about their blocking because that's just effort too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
