2024 DL Kamarion Franklin 2.0 (commits to Ole Miss)

Most head coaches were coordinators but they’re not all still coordinating their side of the ball still. Nick Saban and Kirby Smart aren’t calling their defenses.

There’s advantages and disadvantages to having a CEO type of coach. On the bad side, you have to trust he’ll make the right coordinator hires and if he does, it’s only a matter of time before the coordinator leaves for a promotion. On the positive side, you won’t get stuck with a system that may not be effective because the head coach is glued to HIS system. The best coaches know when to step aside and let the assistants do their thing.

Not true. The best head coaches specialize on one side of the ball. They were coordinators before becoming head coaches. Most of the top guys have a DC that runs their defensive if they are a defensive guy (Kirby, lil Nickie, Kelly) or an OC that runs their scheme (Day, Dabo, Riley, wittingham, gundy) and many others. Being the CEO type ain’t winning
Bill Bellicheck and JJ say hello?

Lol everyone on that list that has a ring is a CEO type that is involved with a certain position.
 
Thanks for the lesson. But ur wrong. The only thing you're right on is they were mostly coordinators before they became head coaches. When a head coach hires a coordinator from his side of the ball he integrates his philosophies and that's about all. But feel free to stick with that. We can go back and forth on this all day as their is plenty of examples for both sides. But you guys don't like looking at both sides. You like to think you're right and everyone else is wrong. Stick with that if you like but life's already frustrating enough.
Facts they never like looking at both sides. Or looking at it from another point of view.

Sir, with all due respect.

dont think you have to be a coordinator but i do think dabo was one of those rare instances. do i think mario will be nick or urban at this stage in his career? no. do i think he can win? yes. do i think UM will ever win a title again no matter the coach? no. i think those days passed us by. maybe we get lucky one year (LSU with burrow). id be happy with UGA Richt consistently. provide some reason to invest time and money every year and saturday esp as your own personal life takes over and pushes time for sports to a min.

Last week I leaned war eagle , this week I think it’s very close, like tossup close. This Nil stuff is just different.
It’s a different game now. Lots of those in the “know” now looking from the outside in.

You can always tell who has the juice by following Wiltfong’s moves. He leans heavily on his regional/team specific employees… when he’s removing CBs and saying “it’s close” just means it could go either way.
 
I understand that, I get it just seems like the last 20 years we always have 1 top class per coach and the rest of the classes are usually no where close and we convince ourselves they are good evals. Just once I would like to see what would happen if we stacked 2 classes back to back. We do seem to be doing decent at evals now but even still for example McCoy is good but he's no Francis at the end of the day.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. You need BOTH the national elite kids and good evaluations. Nothing wrong at all with bringing your own recruits into the pipe from your network. But there's a reason we were/are going after nationally recognized recruits like Scott, Stone, Franklin, Breland, A Jones, J Jackson, McCray, et al. along with all the other top P5. They're really good football players. Hopefully our staff has also evaluated them athletically and mentally to conclude they're capable of playing at a high level, be leaders on and off the field and take care of business in school.

No worries if you cannot share, but is this really just changes to $$$ made available to player, or are there more intricacies in the terms, delivery of payments, start of payments, etc.. in these negotiations?
