I don't understand why in the most relaxed era of NCAA compliance we continue to be so conservative and fail to take advantage of opportunity. Makes no sense, and makes our administration look inept.

I'm hoping we hire a DC that will tell Mullen that the defense that he wants is bull. Hopefully manny will make that clear if he is indeed the guy.
I think it's most likely Mullen doesn't want an assistant he can't boss around. O probably thought he had the job via Strickland, then Mullen quashed it.Quote:

It will be the same defense Manny ran before. Not too many people had a problem with it before. People are really reaching with this speculation of Mullen over controlling the defense.Quote:

I think it simply looks like Mullen changed his mind. Because after the meeting in the New Orleans- O was gonna be the guy
I think this is really close and junk free.Quote:

Everything Cadaver and Coach say I believe to be given them with honest belief but we do not know what we do not know.
All the huffing and puffing about liking or hating the hire is pointless right now. The amount of residual butthurt over the TSUN loss and the Orange Bowl loss is worthy of a telethon to find a cure. I got a HC changing a culture with ten wins while still needing to adjust things. I'll take it and trust him to hire the guy hire guys he likes. I am not some sunshine pumper but even 50% improvement by a DC over Collins with any offensive productivity will get us to 9 wins a year.
If Dak comes back maybe better than 9. Lost in all the doom nd gloom is the fact our WR's have arrived. Multiple targets with mostly reliable hands and routes. We can go places now.
Probably so or the LSU situation made Coach O pause.Quote:

I'm still crossing my fingers that somehow we could get them both. Although highly unlikely. Like 1% chance.

The worry here should be Diaz's reluctance to embrace recruiting. From someone who knows him personally, he just is not a good recruiter for whatever reason. That is our life blood and your coaching is a lot better with better talent. There are many rumors swirling right now about our coaching contracts and is probably not worth getting into now. There concern here should be the number of DCs we've run through in a very short order of time. Our coach is developing a national reputation that might not be as marketable as he believes he is. This hire is really critical, he better get it right. I should add, I don't know Diaz . Someone else does.
My cousin's aunt's brother's sister told me that Coach O took a shit in Pat Haden's living room, and that's the reason Haden didn't hire O for the full time gig at SC. As it turns out though, Haden's wife's sister's mother in law is also married to Megan Mullen's uncle, and she heard about O shitting on Haden's floor. Once Megan heard about the infamous floor shitting, she immediately told to not hire O. However, Dan didn't listen to Megan and instead wanted to still hire, but since O also shitter on Strcklin's desk, Stricklin was only willing to pay O 750,000 per year but O wanted 950,000. Thus a deal couldn't be made and it is all Stricklin's fault. FIRE STRICKLIN!!!!
This may or may not be true. It's just what I heard but don't hold it against me. However, if you want to freak and blame Stricklin, go ahead.
Okay, so now we will always be 1A/1B, Bend-Don't-Break, and NOW, NOW we have nobody to shit in living rooms across the greater Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama suburbs!!?? How can you recruit without a closer and a shitter!?
F it! F it all! Don't start cutting and pasting how our pissing percentages were higher because the 1B's were unable to shit the bed at the right time. No, we have no designated shitter on the staff. The blame falls at Stricklin's feet.
Am I overreacting about this? Just want to be at the front of a message board rage once in my life. Just once. Sorry, gonna go take a shit in the toilet now. A proper shit as the Brits would say. A right proper shit.
Do you typically not take a shit in the toilet?Quote:

You watch Lifetime?
We want to attack on D. We want the end of the 1Bs. Seems to me Diaz gives us both of these in spades...
Diaz had 15 players on D record 20 or more combo tackles. With clear 1s across the board. Top 7 tacklers = all 7 starting LBs/DBs.

Collins had 21 players on D record 20 or more combo tackles. Without clear 1s across the board.

good stuff Engie
The good thing is, Collins helped prepare a lot of guys for Diaz. If Diaz does good, he could be a head coach in a year or 2.
Also, well done Cad. Glad I'm a part of this site.
Hell yesQuote:
