Your 8th grade Pee Wee playing career says differently.

Collins said he was the best dl coach he'd ever been around.

Turner isnt your average joe.

That may be true to and heard some of that before. Mainly posters believe Wilson was more liked than Turner, the degree the players liked one over the other, I don't know. It seems for sure that Wilson is the better recruiter and Turner the better DL coach. When it comes to coaches in the trenches, I had rather have the better coach than recruiter. Other positions I think differently but line coaches need to be good coaches, teachers of the game, command respect from their players. Likability is also down the list. Obviously, you would love to have a coach with all of it but if not go with a good coach first and get him help recruiting.

concur.

It is official per CDM tweet. Will be interesting to say the least. My big question is will it help improve our db coverage and reduce the number of big pass plays against us? That seemed to be our major weakness ( duhh!!!) and the deciding factor in the EB, also kept the winning margins from truly reflecting our play in at least 4 of our wins and maybe led to some lack of confidence on the team overall against Bama and tsun ( not much but a little bit can hurt and make a difference ).

This makes sense b/c Hughes can coach the whole secondary. Hopefully Deshea hates the 1a/1b as much as me. Let the position coaches decide if their player needs a break.

Jackass? Playing does not equal coaching. What about a two year coach makes you think he can be a SEC DC? Some are you guys are crazy as hell. Next you will be calling for Boobie as OC.

It's two more years than you have. So yeah jackass he is still more qualified than you. With NO experience he would be more qualified than you but he actually had two years prior to coming here as an assistant with the Arizona Cardinals.

ETA: It's the absurdity that you are on his coaching level not whether or not he is ready to be a DC. That was what your original post stated that is getting you called out. Nobody was pushing him for the position.

He carried a Cardinal clipboard. He came to State to learn to coach. Take me, the jackass out of the coaching equation, Townsend is not qualified to be DC. Kirby and Nick are not NFL standouts. How in the hell did they become great defensive coaches? Townsend, our DC? Really Clark?

I wouldn't put smart in the same sentence as saban. Smart runs saban's system. Smart may be great and he may not.

Anyway, carry on with the original argument... Haha

Thanks Sir. Townsend May be better than Nick. But I wouldn't consider making DT DC Smart. See what I did there? Seriously, does DT fit in the conversation with potential candidates for DC?

Well you were the one that put yourself on his level. Your original post had nothing to do with comparing him with other coaches. Nobody said he was on par with those coaches. And I wasn't the only one to make fun of you for it.

Just so a Jackass can understand, nobody, myself included said he was ready or wants him as our DC. But the option was between him or you. We choose him.

I really don't think that you should be calling other people jackasses until you have learned to identify hyperbole when you see it......it kind of makes you look like a jackass.

You betcha!! I wasn't the only one calling him out for his post you know. Then he changed the subject of what he was trying to say.

Jesus Christ, he is not actually saying that he is as qualified as DT to be the DC. He is using hyperbole to say that he doesn't think that DT is anywhere close to being qualified to be the DC of an SEC team. And based on DT's resume alone, that is not dumb at all.

Thanks Sandwolf! I'm glad someone gets my point. I was about to go commit myself.

I don't this an audition for Deshea or an indication of Turner.

Mullen said it was a fairly obvious decision to hand the play-calling over to Townsend, as he didn't want to pull defensive backs coach Tony Hughes from his normal spot in the booth and said David Turner would have his hands full with overseeing substitutions along the defensive line.

yeah -- I get that Deshea here is not ideal. What I don't get is that anyone else on staff is a damn bit more ideal....

I think everyone got it but one poster. That's why I posted, "????"

ETA: Nevermind, I see it went over greenhead's head too.

It wasn't that we didn't understand the hyperbole, it was an unwarranted post. One person was speculating on whether or not this was an audition for the DC position. Nobody was stating he was ready or wanting DT for the position. All we know is he is calling plays for the bowl game. That's it. It was a jackass statement that had no bearing on the original point of the thread or the question that was raised. And you got called out for it by multiple people.

Jesus Christ, I understand that he was being sarcastic. But to imply that DT knows as much defense as a poster on a forum, which means he knows nothing, is stupid. That was my point. He may not be DC material but the guy has been a part of some good defenses

Damn, can we just play the game already so we can see?

Dude I know. I was just bring it to his attention that multiple people was on him. Not just me. Hoops didn't even look at all of the posters that called him out over his statement.
