Coordinator Search: Weekend Thread

It’s news to some, maybe more than some?
I guess, I took that for granted. Forgive me?

I’ve heard that it’s the DE coach at FSU…if that’s the case, it would be better than snagging Cooper. Some feel that Cooper has benefited from unbelievable talent…you know the player’s with natural instincts-the stuff you can’t coach…..

There is a coaching search website, something like the coaching search ticker or something like that…..it covers rumors and the real deals, so there is some sifting and interpretation involved…..but the author is usually honest about the ’rumor’s vs credible sources…

Really, Ron Zook??? I was only kidding when I talked about a zombie apocalypse if he’s hired….mainly because zombie apocalypses are highly unlikely, not because I was kidding about Ron Zook being an ideal hire….

UGA started crying all over again…LOL

Sleep tight! Thanks for the thread!! I’m going to try to stick out this game through the 4th…but I’m starting to become pumpkin-like….

If you want to beat Bama and LSU, you can’t out-finesse them or out-run them. You have to out-scheme and out- execute them.

What makes the SEC so dominant is the size and speed of the d-line on the best teams. Every team in the SEC has good speed on the edge. 5’8"-6’ speed guys are a dime a dozen. What makes Bama and LSU so good is that they have 6’4+ 320lb guys in the middle of the line, who make it impossible to run inside and blow up the pocket with an inside pass rush.
To beat them you have to wear them down with a punishing inside running game, alternating with a speed attack on the edge. We have the speed guys for this attack, what we are missing is the 220+ lb running back to pound the interior. Once you have that true inside THREAT, it opens up play action, regardless of down. You can play the spread or pro-style with that offense. You aren’t going to dominate these teams up front but you can open up pockets of weakeness on the field as they work to combat the interior attack. This is not to say you want to spend your time beating your head against a brick wall, BUT you have them respect your ability to attack the interior.
Yes, that will decrease scoring as we speed up the game by controlling the clock, but you don’t end up on the wrong end of the stick in the 4th Qtr with a dog tired defense.
On defense it will be really hard to get the same amount of big athletes that LSU and Bama get on the line BUT we can develop them over time, so its important to recruit D-Line depth with large framed guys that can add weight over their career and be starters in the junior and senior season. That way when they are losing their stars in their junior year, our guys will be starting to blossom. We have to CONTINUALLY be starting Juniors and Seniors on the D Line, except in the rare occasion when we get a Tracy Rocker or Nick Fairley ……and hopefully Gabe Wright…. who can come in an contribute immediately.

but he was a crafty and resourceful player that got Florida started onto their era of domination.
He was a winner.

We had a 17-0 lead going into the 4th quarter. Bell comes off the bench (he was injured) and leads his team to victory. He even hobbled in the two-point conversion for the win close to the end of the 4th. He is a winner. I know nothing about him lately.

Eguae will be a force again. Nosa really benefitted from Fairley picking up a double team in the middle.
I wouldn’t mind having Tracy back as DC. He would definitely make DLine toughness a priority.

At first, I didn’t know what I was reading until I saw IT. Good gracious!!! Everyone knows that you have to be Tebow to get that kind of personal attention during a football game!
