    Freeze's Staff

    in AU Football Forum

    Posted

    Whichever one of you Yahoos listed DS in the same sentence as Dabo as an upper tier out of the box hire Please stop. DS is nowhere near Dabo as far as success. Not even in the same stratosphere. All he has on his resume is swag. Thats it. End of story. And where is he coaching??? Colorado!!! Of all the openings this year...Colorado... If AU played them next season we would wax the floor with them. Take your ball and go home. 

    Please do us all a favor and leave. You whining is boring now.

    My 3 week Reflection

    in AU Football Forum

    Posted

    First of all, I want to give a shoutout to all the MODS. @Zeek in particular for the tireless recruiting updates. Also for putting up with a good bit of back and forth they put up with. So happy I joined the NEST and hope you all consider it as well to help these guys out. They furnish us with great insight and a platform to ask, debate, help each other out, etc and we should all be thankful.

    Here are my thoughts regarding the last 3 weeks and is just the cliff notes I was thinking about. Feel free to dive deeper if you wish and if you have more insight. It will be welcomed for sure.

    I can't say enough what a miraculous job this coaching staff has done. I was just thinking about what all had to take place since the Freeze hiring. I'm sure there is SO MUCh more than we know. 

    1) Freeze had to evaluate the staff. Deciding who to keep, who to let go, who to reposition. This is a lot of stress knowing you are affecting not only the coach but their families as well. 

    2) Freeze had to evaluate our players. Think about the hours and hours of tape that he had to go over regarding our current players and see who would or would not fit in his system.

    3) Freeze had to see what kids we were on our recruiting board, who their coaches were, their academics, their family ties, their evaluation videos, who is a priority target.

    4) Freeze had to evaluate the Portal players. What are our needs, what are their capabilities, evaluate their tape, Also have to take into consideration the timing of when the portal opened up regarding when he was hired which was soon after. 

    5) Freeze had to do so many media obligations, pictures, try to get to know the administration and obligations within that area as well. Who he wanted to hire within the Football Dept. 

    I cannot imagine what all the stress CDHF and staff has had to deal with in this short time span. Then bring it all together and have a current Recruiting ranking of 16. To say I am blown away is an understatement.

    Freeze vs. Kiffin

    The one big dig on Kiffin has always been his questionable commitment to recruiting. 

    AU is a school that CAN recruit very well, but to do that our coaches have to work really hard at it. Kiffin has a reputation of not really wanting to work hard at recruiting. 

    Like someone mentioned, maybe at a school like Ole Miss you can make it work by cobbling together a team every year through the transfer portal and a small HS class, but IMO that's never going to get you to a consistent contender level. You're just a team full of mercenaries at that point with no chemistry or culture. 

    Excellent take on this sir. Totally agree!

    Most of us had no idea and wasn't counting on this guy anyway. Now we are all in a tizzy about it. 

    We are doing well, VERY well, for a 3 week process and have SUPERceded many predictions already for our situation. 

    Everybody calm down. We will be fine, and we will will some of these in our future.

    2023 Recruiting Hot-Board

    It's not just six schools. They range from the northeast to the southwest corners of the county, with a couple of stops in the middle of downtown in between. Some of those schools are well over an hour's drive apart. Some are private schools, some public. There's something very unusual going on.

    This reminds me of a Johnny Cash song. I've been everywhere. LOL
