He won?t run a sub 4.4 but he might end up being really good
Bring them all in, we need them.Quote:

Yep big difference in the response Joe is getting as opposed to the previous staff. Night and day difference.Quote:

Along with your perspective.Quote:

And Moorhead nailed it getting Michael Johnson and Marve to coach WR and LB. I think both are upgrades. Not to mention Tony HughesQuote:

Sorry to beat the dead horse but I think our class last year would have been different without the coaching turnover. Plus it was his first full year. It would be pretty rare for things to go perfectly for most anybody. I think we will do a lot better this year and to me it looks like our WR and OL recruiting have already picked up.Quote:

We need the boosters all on the same page
This staff will get better talent here, just a matter of can we turn that into more W’s.
Unbelievably frustrating.Quote:

We had a chance with Byron but his parents LOVED Saban. He wavered some but Saban factor was to much(getting baker didn't hurt) but he was going to bama. Straight from horses mouth.
It will be interesting to see how the 2020 class shakes out. I do see changes to the recruiting approach this year but at the end of the day Joe will graded on who he can ink. At this point I don't see us finishing much better than 25th overall.
I doubt it unless he gets a Qb.Quote:

Won’t shock me at all to see him this fall playing as a frosh .. and he is on defense there ..
Yep, I don't think we would have gotten either. We couldn't get Young to commit or flip to us when Baker was with us but because he left we didn't get him? Sorry, I don't buy it. And Mingo actually gave us much more consideration AFTER Michael Johnson came on staff. Mr. Green Bay did a pathetic job recruiting him but even after the switch he was just too in bed with the Confederates. Guess we will never know for sure, but I don't think we were as close on these two as we would like to make ourselves believe. Now I do think the staff we have now is a MUCH better overall recruiting staff than what we had last year. Two of the guys that left were in the NFL and had no clue what was required to recruit in the SEC and the other, Baker, is an excellent coach but probably a below average recruiter. Even swapping out Hud for Hughes was a good trade though Hud was definitely the best recruiter of what we lost.Quote:

CC said his son was friends with B. Young, how much closer to the situation can you get? CC brought us the best info on JT Ginn and said JT's dad was a friend of his. CC is also careful about how he lays information out on this board, often using a disclaimer about stuff he's not sure about. If CC says it I lay bank on it!Quote:
