Fyi, that list is by college, not by high school. Probably less relevant to the discussion on recruiting.

Yes they did. Scoring that many on Groh when you have our calls isn’t that impressive.

But we've already discussed that we DO know how much Key has to spend. The pool expanded 30% and we certainly don't need that much to retain the coaches we already have on staff. No one else was going to try and poach most of our staff. We could definitely have a 1MM+ OC and there are absolutely...

I see this as the realistic path forward. Schools like GT will be left behind in the arms race and be better for it. There’s still good entertainment to be had but we won’t have to pretend to compete directly against schools which are on another level of funding.

Coaches can't revoke a scholarship for athletic reasons. Kid can tell the coach to stuff it and just ride the bench out if he wants the degree. Or kid can bring it up to the NCAA and get the coach/school sanctioned.

How? He's making 500k as a running backs coach at Texas. We're fretting over 850k for an OC. We would have to expand his role significantly to get him back (no way we can justify paying above market rate for a RB coach just for a feel good story to get a GT guy back) and quite frankly we need a...

Might be the only thing you and I agree on 👍

Well to be fair the argument was originally recruiting, which should be the whole team. If it's just offensive players you're missing on but clearly still have a potent offense without them, who really cares? The point isn't to win the NFL draft, it's to win college football games. I get to...

I'd be decently happy with WKU's head coach. I think Coastal's record is a bit more impressive vs their peers and I like Chadwell more, but since you threw it out there :)

How many draftees should a sunbelt team be putting in? Over that same timespan app state has put 1 RB and 1 OG on offense. Troy 1 OT ULM 1 WR I'm getting bored, but what are the standards here?

You see the same criticisms brought against Baylor when they were running Briles' offense or Auburn when they had Gus Malzahn. As others have alluded to, you can clearly have a productive offense with the type of players you still get even assuming there's an impact from the negative recruiting...

He's gone from 10->8->7->5->3->3 in the Sunbelt recruiting against his peers while transitioning up from FCS. I mean what do you want out of him as a recruiter? He still has to sell a program with little history, in a crappy area, with a crappy fanbase in a lower G5 conference. Tashard Choice...

I hope we can agree the G5 coaches being thrown around this time have a bit more of a proven track record as head coaches than GC did. No coach is going to be without risk, but I really want a guy who has lead a program and shown a positive trajectory over many seasons.

What’s wrong with betting lines? In general it’s incredibly difficult to pick better than them to the point that a 55% win rate for an advanced ranking system is the gold standard.

Wait so you’re talking about a guy in Patterson known as a “system” DC who had air raid heavy OCs, or Garret Riley brother of noted offensive innovator, an option heavy running team in Kansas state, a trick play meistro, and one of the best coaches at identifying up and coming coordinators (like...

Bill Clark would be a great option. He absolutely knows what it takes to rebuild a program from the ground up.

Where do you think the other 64% of the variance of team’s performance is coming from? Not to mention other posters already demonstrated that it’s quite easy to end up unranked even with highly ranked recruits. If you believe that Deion is a really good coach and brings more to the table than...

and schools like SC, VT, and Duke are fools to pass on a proven winner. It’s amazing how much the bar has continued to move. Even though though Leipold and Chadwell are proven winners, even the hint of an “option” in their game plan is enough to throw people in a tizzy. If people in...

I mean several public records have been presented to you that support the argument. Here’s another for good measure, Paul mentions he considered retirement earlier because it wasn’t fun working under the previous AD at 5:25 in his retirement press conference. The extent to which resources were...

Never in my life did I think our team profile would overlap Iowa's. I miss a functional offense. I have some hope for Pyron but less so for the current playcaller.
