Poor Mack. Such a great job with such a bare cupboard

 

[slugboy]

I absolutely agree with you, this is why the SEC is held in such high regard.

Tongue in cheek?

IM still not sold in Mack himself but I think what makes him look like he knows what he’s doing is the staff he has around him.

I think the QB helpin him look good

They went 6-6 w him? They prolly woulda been 4-8 or so wout him

Everyone pray for UVA tonight. I really hope they hang with Florida. Just don't know. Not feeling it, for them.

Louisville has scored 31 straight against Miss State.

Louisville is going be a beast in another season or two. Satterfield is legit.

Very good coach. Limited recruiter.

Yeah admittedly I had no idea what they did with the 2019 Receuiting class when I made the previous comment. #69 in the nation and #14 in the ACC is what i discovered, to my surprise lol.

Why so bad? Is it his recruiting philosophy or is it because he came from a smaller school and isnt as well known?

I just assumed they had at least a middle of the pack ACC recruiting class.

Limited recruiter.

Doesn't seem to have bothered the teams he's coached much. As a head coach, he's 59 and 29 with three conference championships, 4 wins in 5 bowl trips during 7 years and two conference coach of the year awards (including one this year in the ACC). Given that his App State teams averaged 109th in the 247 "recruiting rankings", I think we can say that the coaching shines through here.

I agree with Kyle. This guy will make everyone up there forget Petrino pretty quickly.

They probably will. There's a long way until February and the pressure and poaching will have immense influence on the final results.

App state and scrambling to get a class after taking over. dunno whats going on with the 2020 class but thats probably why hes been a "bad" recruiter. i remember Louisville having a lot of decommitments after he took over

Oh I agree. Very good hire for Louisville. I just think he will run up against a pretty firm ceiling there.

They are trending to be more middle of the pack this year. I’m just not sure they will be able to rise above that with him at the helm. For example, we were able to go in flip Franks from them with a last minute offer. They lost quite a few guys like that just before signing day.

Doesn’t mean he can’t put together some solid seasons however.

Louisville is 6th in the ACC behind GT.

True. But there is a fairly big gap between us and them in the national rankings. I know we are 23rd and they are 36th in rivals.

Bama is proving how important retaining top assistant coaches is. They have top level players but the constant turnover with assistants has hurt them recently. It will be interesting to see how long Dabo can keep his.

Dabo has co OC's and Venables as DC. Venables is a head case and is happy coaching Defense and is well treated. And having 2 OC's will help buffer the offense if one leaves. To me Dabo, seems to be well set for the future regarding coordinators.

Well Virginia lost last night, so we only play 4 10-win teams next year LOL.

 

[Boaty1]

Watching Florida play both Miami and UVA this year to 1 score games I think the gap between teams like them and Auburn and the ACC is grossly exaggerated.

Kind of already knew this.
