    Did you forget what conference we play in?

    Four yards and a cloud of dust works great until you get called for holding, or have to come back from 2 scores down.

    It's a stupid take regardless of conference affiliation. It's a stupid take period.

    Doesn’t matter. Look at how the Ohio State vs. Oregon championship played out. I’d always choose smash mouth football over finesse.

     

    Smash Mouth football and having a wide open offense aren't mutually exclusive. Ohio State might have run the ball up and down the field, but they ran and run a high powered offense (when not being conducted by Tim Beck) because they could. I'm not sure it's smash mouth when Ezekiel Elliot is running untouched and free all over the goddamn field, and some of that is due directly to the fact that Ohio State spread out the defense plenty. 

    4 yards and a cloud of dust is an antiquated notion that only sits beneath a halo in the minds of old people who want to gas about bygone days and shake their fists at clouds. Ohio State vs Oregon wasn't 4 yards in a cloud of dust, it was 14 yards in an untouched sprint. And part of that is because of having a great offensive scheme. Unless the point of the original poster was to say "I'd much rather have bigger, stronger, and faster offensive players than the other team so I can run it down their throat" then, well, yeah. That seems rather obvious however.

    Personally, I'll take a good scheme period, almost regardless of the scheme, over some notion that it just feels better to play SMASHMOUTH football. In other words, why not both?

    Sounds similar to this year's group of in-state OL talent in Green (#15), Johnson (#33), Bragg (#164), and Shepherd (#234). If one of UT or aggy can grab 3 out of those 4, it will not only change the trajectory of their program moving forward but will also probably hold back the other, considering we both need an infusion of OL talent.  

    I'll take a split at this point and be fine. Bragg might be the biggest need recruit we have considering our deficiencies at Center, both in years past and on the current roster. If we can steal Shepherd late, all the better, but Green is a done deal at this point. Give me Bragg to go with Johnson and I'll take the push and move forward. This is going to be a bloodbath of a year in recruiting.

    Man. Meyer is either scared as fuck of TH or just is using him as a proxy for scouting. Or perhaps both.

     

     

    You forgot the most likely:

     

    Man, Urban Meyer just loves fucking with Tom Herman.

    Agree, and he’d have to face the new juggernaut of the SEC West  every year. Should scare him the death.

    This can't be true. I was told by two coaches currently coaching in the SEC that, in fact, the ACC was the best conference in America just last year.

    I think the idea is that Bama / Ohio State will poach a coach from a very good but not quite blue blood program, and the domino effect of coaching moves will eventually open up a realistic opportunity for Orlando; i.e., OP is not suggesting that Orlando is the next coach for the Buckeyes or Crimson Tide.

    That said, I don't think Orlando is going to wait that long.

    Ah, I see. Thanks for the correction.

    That's a bizarre way to look at it 

    It's an illogical and unrealistic way for anyone to look at it if they're approaching the college football landscape looking to get a head coaching job. If there's ones thing we of all people should know, it's the hesitancy of many schools, much less the bluest of the blue bloods, to hire a guy with zero head coaching experience. We all know that it can work out, but the guys who typically make decisions or weigh in on them spit the fucking bit at the very thought.

     

    Additionally the idea that when Saban retires, the notion that 'Bama is going anywhere other than Dabo Swinney to fill that role is hilariously ludicrous. Much less a Todd Orlando that has never been a head coach. Alabama would go to Dabo, then back to Smart, and Pruitt if he is successful at Tenn. THEN they'd expand that search to other good coaches at existing D1 schools.

    I'm always amazed at how much trouble people have tracking the original comment, be it Orlando isn't likely to be here when 2019 kids play, i.e. 2021, or Giles isn't a good recruiter, Herman should do more to help him turning into people responding as to why Giles shouldn't be fired.

    I hope Orlando stays here for 10 years.  The data on successful coordinators at big time schools indicates otherwise. 

    I'll also be interested to see how our D does this year. I think Orlando can flat out coach and I expect our defense to take a small step back from where it was last year, which would cement in my mind that Orlando is a great coach.  I don't see our defense being significantly worse than last year, but not many people foresaw Diaz's defense sucking ass in year 2, either. I think there a ton of reasons why Orlando is different than Diaz but regardless, this year will be big in terms of confirming what a lot of us believe about Orlando.  Right now, we're working with a pretty small data set. He's got less depth and less experienced talent than he had last year (and likely than he will for the foreseeable future), so if he can make things work this year, we should be in good shape for as long as he's here.

    This is generally where I align as well. I think Orlando might be a wizard, but I've been wrong before. I think an underrated aspect of last year is that while he had an experienced group, they were still learning a new system AND he had to change a culture (harder with veteran players) and by some accounts coach them PROPERLY for the first time in their college careers. I think those extra little things basically cancel out the experienced player aspect in many of the cases not named Poona Ford. 

    If we can manufacture decent line play, I am hopeful our defense to be as good or better than last year. Maybe I'm being unreasonable in my expectations, but that is where I am now.

    So Orlando may be gone in 2019... but I think he stays for awhile. 

    Only reason I say that is because I had a co worker that played for Orlando when he was at UCONN said that he’s just a football and defense animal. And his personality doesn’t really vibe with a HC. This was awhile ago so who knows. He could have changed, probably has, but he has always mainted that his personality has always been a DC guy. 

    Well, I believe the original comment was that Orlando would likely be gone by the time the 2019 recruits were vying for meaningful snaps. So by 2021. 

    I just think statistically you dont see a lot of Bud Fosters. I mean, Orlando landing at Texas was contingent on him not getting the UH job, which he interviewed for...so the guy wants to be a head coach. Best case is he feels loyalty to Herman, and he is patient to wait for a really really good spot. He's a midwest guy, so even though his alma mater looks stable for the foreseeable future, as do other midwest power house schools in Nebraska, Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State...he'll definitely leave for a job at some point.

    You’ll show him by putting money in his pocket.

  12. Someone kindly help me understand here...was that a HS kid who is going to college and likely to intern with the football program, or is that a legit graphic designer who just accepted a job with aTm and did a send up of commitments because that's the business he's been in?

     

    Either way, I assume good hire for them, because their edits have sucked and gargled a cacophony of balls.
