Respectfully disagree. Ron Zook was coach at Florida in the early 2000s billed as a great recruiter and players' coach he was a bust. Though he did beat UGA two of this three years but that was more than cancelled out by losing at home to Ole Miss and Tennessee and on the road to Mississippi...

I am not impressed with great running backs or receivers, we can get those...show me linemen. With apologies to Shakespeare: "A war daddy a war daddy, my kingdom for linemen" No threat to the Bard but you get the idea.

Not the first time he caught lightning in a bottle and it turned out to be lightning bugs.

Sure, he had a lot of sacks because they were off play action with a delay type running play they used which was slow developing but devastating when it worked. Shawn was a good quarterback but tended to sometimes be erratic. He needed a good supporting cast to be effective. Like Joe...

You realize, of course, that my reply was TIC trying to be funny.

Do you think that his listed height and weight are truthful? He is listed at 6'3" 215 lbs. I don't think that is necessarily toothpick slender but who knows if those are his true measures. He is graceful in stride like a deer but as Drees2 has pointed out he is not good at "finishing runs"...

Yep. Another great one. Competitive almost to a fault and he had some wheels on him as well. You can win a lot of ball games with quarterbacks like Shawn Jones, Justin, Joe Ham, and Jeff provided you give them the tools to work with. Jones and Hamilton had some ball players to help them out...

His father may have a lot to do with that. He was interviewed on TV and came across as a parent with high standards but one that cares about his son. Jeff will be a great one if he is given some tools to work with starting with a better offensive line and some receivers who can get open.

Probably the best running quarterback in the history of the Institute. Better than Shawn Jones, Joe Hamilton or anyone you care to name but that does not mean he is a better quarterback. He still has a long way to go. He is just so elusive in a different sort of way than Shawn who was big...

No, no, you would not want to be named an accomplice to a murder or at least a severe injury because for a true freshman playing behind that line is a run for your life deal. James and Jeff both had plenty of chances to show off their quickness, athleticism, and speed running away from 300lb...

Alas, Sims and Gibbs is not the issue that is bedeviling this football program. Sims and Gibbs are great talents but they CANNOT make up for poor line play on both sides of the ball. Fix those two things and this chatter about who goes and stays will subside because everyone wants to be on a...

"...a better offer"? Is he being paid now?

I don't think a team that has won three games and is down to 50 or so scholarship players has any business going to a bowl.

You want to see some excitement? Check out CanesInsight Miami fans are in an absolute frenzy over Duh U giving up a school record 550 yards rushing with two, count em, backs rushing for over 200 yards, one of which gashed the Hurricanes for a school record 300 plus. Virtually none of what was...

Put the blame where it belongs...if we want to play Clemson, Athens Correctional, Miami, FSU, and the like we have to start paying players. This, of course, is TIC but illustrates the difficulties facing any school with pretensions of academic and moral integrity. Outstanding to serviceable...

It should be up to the players. If they don't want to play meaningless bowl game in front of 15,000 fans I don't blame them a bit. Pitt and BC players are doing the smart thing.

You can do all that OR do what UGA, Clemson, Alabama, Auburn all do... pay them early and often.

Too many to the point that they have in most cases become meaningless. Dodd had a pretty good team in 1964, even though they lost their two biggest games to Alabama and UGA, that went 7-3 and never sniffed a bowl game. Then, there were really not enough but it was a precarious business back...

I counted five bowls cancelled with ACC tie ins. Only one with a SEC tie in. Must be that SEC speed.

My top three things to work on: 1) Offensive line 2) Defensive line 3) Defensive line some more. That about covers it.
