You dumbasses are gonna get my POTD thread deleted.
quote:And this was, and still is, my concern with the Sumlin hire.
When has a defense EVER improved under Sumlin?
When has Sumlin ever won without an all-world Case Keenum/Johnny Football-type quarterback?
The answers to both is identical ...

After the '13 season:
"Picture our defense in 2 years!"
DE: 4* Junior, Daeshawn Hall:
Perception at the time: stud 4* who just needs a year morewith Larry Jackson! I wish he could haveredshirted!
Reality today: undersized and underpowered. He may develop into a good player, but hasalready been passed up by younger players.
DT: 4* RS soph, Justin Manning
Perception at the time: stud 4* who will benefit from a redshirt,will be a RS soph
Reality today: most likely overrated/bust, but could turn itaround. He has not developed and hasbeen passed by younger players
DT: 4* Junior Isaiah Golden
Perception at the time: what a great fish year for a highly rated4*! Imagine him after Larry Jackson getsanother two years!
Reality Today: kicked off the team
DE: 3* overachieving senior, Julien Obioha
Perception at the time: This guy is going to be amazing with4 years of experience!
Reality Today: Has not developed, will be passed by youngerplayers
OLB: 3* Junior Jordan Mastrogiovanni
Perception at the time: This guy is underrated! He willbe a great player!
Reality today: he sucks
ILB: 3* Junior, Darian Claiborne
Perception: what a steal! This guy should have been a 5*
Reality: kicked off the team
OLB: 3* Brett Wade
Perception at the time: This guy is underrated! He willbe a great player!
Reality today: he sucks
CB: 4* Noel Elis
Perception at the time: This guy is going to be a STUD!
Reality: has been passed by younger players, undersized,could develop
SS: 4* Kam Miles
Perception at the time: This guy is going to be a STUD! Ballhawk!
Reality: kicked off the team
FS: 3* Kenneth Marshal
Perception at the time: This guy is going to be a STUD! Ballhawk! We stole this guy from Texas!
Reality: kicked off the team
CB: 3* Victor Davis:
Perception: we stole this guy from BAMA, he is going to be great!
Reality: has not developed

I don't think D. Mack's chances of actually signing at A&M are all that great.
One of the following will have to happen:
1. We beat LSU convincingly.
2. We play Texas in a bowl game and win in a shutout/blowout. If it is close, he is gone.
3. We fire Snyder and get Muschamp.
If we don't do one of these things, this years defensive class will bail. We are most likely to accomplish #2.

While at uh, didn't he have winning years when Case was in the line-up, then a loosing record when Case was not?
And then he lucked int JFF.
And I need to look, but wasn't his earlier sucess, prior to uh, that he coached Bradford?
quote:I'm sure one of the most coveted head coaching prospects in football over the past 4 years is desperately concerned about winning your endorsement.
beerad12man,
Sorry I wasn't clear.
My point is, he - Sumlin - may be a great QB coach, but I did and continue to have serious reservations about his capabilities beyond coaching that position.
Long story short, when it comes to his credibility as a head coach, he hasn't proven to me that he's all that and a bag of chips

So they can get the accolades that come with playing football, but if you are critical they become helpless children who must be protected. You cannot have it both ways.
Well, minivan driving new math no wrong answer soccer mom types want it that way. Now we know who is who.
