I don't know anythg besides the fact that our safety play has been horrendous since Charles Mitchell graduated.

Yeah I don't want to speculate either but said it has been known for a week or so that changes were coming. If that is true I just don't understand that. We are 10-1 and playing our rival with huge implications. Save that for after the season IMO.

Edited. I get it now bucky. Really have a hard time believing what you heard. Does not add up.
DT is gonna resign.
Why?Quote:

That would really hurt recruiting if it's Hughes or Townsend. Both are good recruiters and have a lot of ties to our commits.
He coaches corners not the entire secondary. If he does resign he'll be picked up by someone quickly.Quote:

Collins - pretty much every recruit from Alabama.
Hughes, yes. Townsend, not so much. Townsend is secondary recruiter on Smitherman and Stamps. He's not primary on a single class of 2015 commit. The idea of Townsend as a recruiter has thusfar greatly surpassed the reality...Quote:

Deshea might help us out in South Panola- but the reality is if we get a player from there it's usually because they are a MSU fan and would come if Charley Shira offered.Quote:

But hey, Dan whatever makes you feel better.
I can't see us getting rid of Hughes to be honest. It's not his fault that Cox got into a domestic dispute and that Market blew out his Achilles Tendon. If we're going to hire two coaches, let's make Hughes the DB coach and essentially use Deshea's spot for a real special teams coach. Whomever the other coach is, I imagine he probably coaches something critical that we can't combine or leave vacant.
Townsend has actually been very good with the CBs. Corner play has actually gotten better since he's been here. But the S play is what cost us on defense in that game.
If anybody needs to be fired its hevesy, people have bitched about him for years. it has about a 0000000000000.1 percent chance of happening though. i would be surprised if anybody left on defense, they do need their asses chewed after yesterday though. mullen included
I shutter at the thought of what our recruiting would be like without Hughes. I have felt like safety was our least talented position and that was a lot of our problem back there. But, I don't know a lot about football, so.
Coaching moves happen. Let's let it play out. Normal for this time of year.
I could see Hughes moved to recruiting coordinator, with his son moving on maybe! Also word is Mullen wants Coach O in some capacity, can't see this happening unless he is the DC, maybe demote Collins to LB'er coach. Townsend isn't the problem nor is David Turner. Time will tell if this staff but lots of rumors on the defensive side!
Whatever is going on needs to happen now. We don't need it hanging over our head or the speculation.
Id take O as one of our famous CO-Coordinators. And let him call the schemes and shit. Collins still gets his $$$ but can't cost us another Natty with ineptness.
Deshea is gone and needs to be. Our cb's have gotten progressively worse since he has been here. period.
I know for a FACT that coach o has spent a great deal of time on campus this year. I know also for a fact that during game week a few weeks back he was seen coming out of the seal building.Quote:
