It's definitely an odd case but when looking at his history he's basically only played 2.5 seasons due to a terrible string of bad injury and illness luck. He hasn't been transferring all over the place and, as @TooTall said he has earned both an undergrad and masters degree at Oregon. For...

And I’ll ask again. Why do you think that? There’s a long thread on this board where people have expressed ways Haynes King can get be better next year. I feel like every GT fan I know thinks Haynes King is the bomb and has room to get better. Have you not seen the folks saying he could be a...

Why do you think most of us (and by that I am assuming you mean most GT fans) don't realize how good we have it at QB? I'm genuinely asking that, not being critical of your point. My impression of GT fans in general is that most are giddy about the QB we've got. I see a few people who think...

I get it just fine. Hitting the fast-forward button isn't that tough to me and if I catch him in the middle of a sentence I hit the rewind button. If you don't like doing it that's fine but it's not physically difficult. Folks, if you don't like his style I promise I'm not going to be the one...

I hear what you're saying. Though there's no fee for joining the livestream. If I want to join JOL then there's a fee for that. I'll preface ALL of the rest of my comments by saying they are my opinion and I respect that others have their own opinions. I won't disagree with you about looking...

So these videos are livestreams, you know that, right? They aren’t pre-recorded and then posted. When you start a livestream you typically then wait a bit for people to join and while that’s happening there’s an awkward few minutes and as a host you are somewhat stuck waiting for your...

I can't speak to whether this is different for athletes but since my daughter transferred to GT last summer we did a lot of research on the classes she needed to take in order to get in to GT. One thing I found interesting is that, for some reason, Calc 1 is required for every single person...

It’s all good my fellow GT fanatic. We are in strong agreement here. I’m happy with the hires and concerned about the depth and I do think we will see a full court press on the portal once we’ve identified specific guys we want who might be there now but also more likely who have decided they...

I suspect that the total number of people spoken-to or communicated with was 30-40 and that Brent didn't speak to all of them himself. Perhaps that's why we appear to be disagreeing because my assumption is that in this context I interpreted the word "interview" to include our people reaching...

I will say that yes, some aspects of special teams were significantly better this year than the previous year. My initial response in this thread didn't acknowledge very well that the coaches and team did make some pretty big improvements. The ONE place where we did not do well was KO coverage...

Folks the 26.86 number came from the NCAA stats website. Stop giving Root grief for a number he didn’t come up with. If anyone thinks it’s wrong then take it up with the NCAA.

Yes I do and I see someone has already pointed out that it’s not average starting position. And of course we had some good coverage. To the poster who said we only remember the bad ones… 129th out of 130. That isn’t good no matter what your memory is like.

This take goes to show that someone will always find fault if they are looking for it. With an important hire like this Brent screened a lot of people with virtual interviews and from that he got to his final choices. Thankfully he was able to get the guy he wanted. What the high number...

They did make some strides but in KO coverage they were atrocious. Once Gavin was too hurt to regularly kick it into the end zone for a touchback we were rocked by our completely inability to cover a KO return. We were 129th out of 130 in average KO return allowed at 26.85 yards per return...

Yes there’s still the DB coach slot to fill.

Completely agree that the coaches have to plan on how to keep the ones they want in the room. This year it was pretty clear there was a plan on how to keep the ones they felt strongly needed to be kept from leaving. I would love to have the problem that we have so many talented guys all over...

YES!!! Thank you for refreshing my recollection. I remember thinking then that it was smarmy, at best, to try and ambush the players and that if I had been in the AD or CPJs shoes I'd have done the same thing they did. That was yet another of the reasons whenever I would visit Indianapolis...

Yeah I think you're right about that in this cycle. I meant that more as my attitude in general towards that practice.

I re-read my response to you and realized it sounded kind of judgy and I apologize for that. I truly did not mean it to come off that way.

How so? That’s an honest question. I don’t know what you mean.
