It's easy to point out those players on other teams now - they're getting superior coaching and are being developed. It's an indictment on our staff that these garbage *** kids are making plays in other defenses.
Go back to these kids coming out of high school, before Dorito got his grubby paws on them and coached them straight into the ground.
Martin Ifedi only other offer was New Mexico St.
Marcus Whitfeld was the 90th best player at his position, and was down to Maryland and WVU.
Nikita Whitlock held one other offer - SMU. He was a low 2 star.
Jeremy Cash was a 3 star and 25th ranked guy at his position.
Yet we're allowing 500 yards to offenses ranked in the 100s with these kids:
Anthony Chikillo - 3rd rated DE, 4 star, UF, Bama, FSU, Auburn, Clemson, Michigan, ND, South Carolina offers.
Curtis Porter - Offers from Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Michigan
Denzel Perryman - Offers from Auburn, UF, FSU, South Carolina
Tracy Howard - 5 star, #1 at his position. Kid could have named his school
Deon Bush - 4th best safety in the nation, 4 star, also could have named his school. BAMA was all over him
Tyriq McCord - 7th best at his position, 4 star, Goergia, South Carolina, ND, USC, UF, FSU all on his ****
Raphael Kirby - 5th best at his position, 4 star, Offer list looked like a ****ing medieval scroll, Could have played anywhere
Luther Robinson - 4 star and 18th at his position in the country.
So, we can't get any of these kids to make plays, yet these nobodies are carrying defenses. And that's not coaching? You don't think Memphis, Maryland, Wake, and Duke would switch players with us on every signing day? You're only proving that even with superior incoming talent, the staff can't get these kids to stop offenses ranked in the 100s from destroying them.
When do we have enough talent to not get annihilated by awful offenses? Does this staff need the #1 ranked player at every position? Will that be enough?
I have already made this point 100 times, its talent and coaching.
Jimmy Johnson's 29-25-3 at Oklahoma St goes to Miami gets players like Jerome Brown, Michael Irvin, etc.. Wins a title. Goes to Cowboys, goes 1-15, gets Aikman, Smith, Irvin, Maryland etc wins 2 super bowls, goes to Miami never does better than 10-6. Is he a good coach or not? He didnt win at Oklahoma St. but he won at Miami. He didnt win with the Dolphins but he won with Dallas.
Bill Belichick was 36-44 with the Browns, he wins 3 Super Bowls with the Patriots with guys like Brady, Bruschi, Wilfork etc.
Pete Carroll fired by the Jets and Patriots goes to USC wins a title with players like Bush, Palmer, Palamalu etc..Goes to Seattle and makes 200 rosters moves in one season to shape his team. Goes 11-5.
Nick Saban at Michigan St. From 1995 to 1997, Michigan State finished 6–5–1, 6–6, 7–5, 6-6, then 9-2(finally has his recruits). In comparison, MSU had finished 5–6, 6–6 and 5–6 in 1992–1994. Goes to LSU goes 8-4, 10-3, 8-5, 11-1(title), then 9-3 again. Goes to Dolphins and goes 15-17. Then Bama and 3 titles.
These are some of the best coaches of all time and still needed GREAT players to win Championships.
