It's weird because on paper I don't think our OL depth is too bad, but the group as a whole seems to have been snakebit the last two years so in my head I feel like we need twice the depth of other teams due to swapping guys in every other week. Hope we've used up all our bad luck and the...

I'm glad we finally cleared that up. I don't agree with you, but if you truly and honestly think we are less talented than Wake Forest then that is your opinion and it helps me understand where you are coming from. I disagree with that assessment and I think most people would as well, but there...

The sack leader last year was a Junior from BC. High 3-star recruit from NC which is kind of our wheelhouse as far as recruits go. The kid from Pitt was 7th in the nation. Duke Ejiofor at Wake Forest had double digit sacks (remember that name when we play them this year, kid is very good). NC...

I think this would be successful by Roof's own standards. Bring that 80+ percent redzone points down significantly and we can drop the ppg. We know we can bend, but that doesn't work when we break as well.

I think it's "Start in the dome, finish in the dome" referring to the opener in the Benz and the title game being in the Benz as well. Ambitious.

I know I've said it a bunch in this thread, but I don't hate Roof and I don't want him fired. I just don't think he's earned an extension and there's really nothing realistic he can do in 4 months to change my mind. I'm not trying to call you out PBR because this thread is all opinions and...

While I do like TCUs results running their varied and down/distance specific coverages on defense, how do you avoid being exploited by the super fast up-tempo offenses these days? It would seem you would need guys across the board who are great in both zone and man coverages and would require a...

Doesn't everyone get an additional coach next year or was that rule not passed? We should have some cash coming in from the new apparel deal...

It would be worth it if we can get someone equally or better at recruiting on that side of the ball. CAM isn't the end all be all of recruiting by a LONG shot. There's a great recruiter/dline coach just fired from UGA that we could reach out to...

I agree but I think of we change coordinators we should clean shop. I haven't been happy with the fundamentals for a long time here. It probably won't happen because Paul Johnson is very loyal to his position guys but we need a change in culture on the D.

We've also had coach Mac and coach speed around since 2010ish. Maybe they need walking papers as well.

I think KeShun started almost every game in 2014 and was playing at a very high level for a true freshman but then fell off. That list has a lot of other talented players who just seem to have been wasted. Kallon and Barnes were 4 stars, KeShun never got back to where he was as a freshman. JHD...

To piggyback on 33s list, I don't wish him any I'll will or hope he gets fired. I just know his contract is up after 5 years and I don't think he's shown me enough to extend him and definitely not enough to warrant the raise that usually goes along with it. He did the best he could but we should...

We also couldn't get any sacks (bottom 20 if I recall) and we gave up points on over 80% of RedZone trips, which was down from over 87% the year before. We ranked 84 overall in the stat with recruiting doormat Vanderbilt leading the nation at 64%. We weren't just below average with below average...

Simplifying is a very good strategy especially since we have a very efficient offense. My personal opinion: you don't need to get super exotic with your coverages and blitzes or have a bunch of substitution packages with an offense that can score like ours. I personally love the Michigan...

Football can often be boiled down to needing three basic ingredients to be a good team (great teams require a few other things like luck etc.): 1) Talent 2) Scheme 3) Fundamentals With some synergistic effects between the three: fundamentals based on talent etc. I think all Tech fans agree...

I'm not disagreeing that our recruiting is better, but Roof inherited the following draft picks: Gotsis Attauchu DJ White Jamea Thomas Brandon Watts He hasn't sent a single one of his defensive recruits to the draft yet but he's entering his 5th season so maybe some of these guys will get...

Roof has had some good lineman like Gotsis and Attouchu here so it isn't like he's working with chopped liver. His defenses, in my opinion, are bad because he can't teach fundamentals which was Groh's problem as well. Our LBs are constantly put of place and we don't wrap up. We miss tackles and...

The screen game is also tougher with a shorter QB. If TaQuan is really being moved over to AB then our shortest scholarship QB this season will be Jay Jones at 6'0". MJ is listed at 6'2" and LJ at 6'3". Justin Thomas was a great passer but his physical stature did limit what we did in the...

Womack's defense got worked last year after a lot of those top rated recruits graduated or went to the NFL and they couldn't reload as well because of sanctions. However sometimes you do need to be in the right place with the right people to succeed. Kevin Steele was laughably bad in the ACC but...
