Well we were starting Jack Tyler, a redshirt freshman walk on at the backer spot; but the guy he was replacing (Lyndell Gibson) was even worse
The funniest part is some fans on VT boards literally said, "Who needs Travis Hughes or Curtis Grant...we will take our Jack Tyler's and call it a day." Reaaallly? You'd rather take the slow white walk on than the 3rd ranked prospect in the country?

A 3-4 defense? They want Paul Chryst to bring that power running, Wisconsin style offense? Come on, Mack.

Kansas Co-OC/WR coach Darrell Wyatt took the WR position at Texas.
It's strange to me that Texas is hiring all of the position coaches before getting coordinators in place.
I think Diaz would be a good hire for the Longhorns. They have quite a few playmakers on D to make that blitzing defense work.
They're going with a pretty young staff, too. I guess they're wanting to get some more energy back in the staff.

I don't understand why they ever went away from their old offense in the first place. You've got Gilbert, one of the most prolific HS QBs in Texas history, who dominated while running the spread...so you take him and put him in a pro-style offense...? It didn't really help that they were still working with an OL built for the spread, though. If Mack still wants to go pro-style, at least he has his sights set on someone that runs a more pro-style offense.Originally Posted by Nowitness41Dirk

Glad our recruiting was on point with Shannon this year....Originally Posted by Fear The Ibis
Our top 3 corners gone.That #2 pass defense is dunzo.
If I'm Golden i'd be calling Latwaan and begging him to stay. Either way we're screwed.

Nick Saban will be meeting w/ 2012 OLB/DE Chris Casher out of Mobile, Ala. tonight. Battle between Bama and FSU. He announces tomorrow. Plans to get his decision out of the way so that he can shut down his recruiting and focus on the classroom for the next year. His grades are in question and he doesn't want to have to go the Juco route. Once 2012 rankings come out, he should be a 4* on all the major services.
Should be Tally bound thanks to Coach Craig
Next Step is to steal Eddie Williams back. +*%* you Saban.

Manny Diaz is a straight beast. He's one of the main reasons I wanted Mullen at Miami because he would've brought Diaz.
Dude is just salty Randy retracted his offer. Which was stupid on Randy's part anyway.

Writing was on the wall, and RR never really endeared himself to anyone at UM.Originally Posted by Nako XL

He was a bad hire from the start since he runs a different system, add the seperation from WVU controversy, and instantly coming under the scope of the NCAA for practice violations. On top of that you have probably the worst stretch in Michigan football history, this year gets off to a good start until they started playing good teams, with the cherry on top being the %%% whooping in a nationally televised bowl game. How Michigan got a prime time slot is beyond me, serves them well though, they got embarrassed on national television.
At this point, it is not a good move to let RR go, however there is also no point in keeping RR. It was time to tear the house down, and start all over. Even if they bring in Harbaugh there will be one or two more lean years while he overhauls the system. It's a mess, and it was handled poorly by UM. They need a big name to keep the UM faithful happy and buy some patience. A return to prominence is not going to happen overnight.

Wouldn't surprise me to see UM go after an ex-NFL coach.
It took Rich Rod a couple years to transition to a spread and get his players in place. Now it's going to take the new coach a couple years to transition once again if they hire a coach who doesn't run the Spread Option. It's gonna take a year or two for UM to bring in and develop some depth on D too.
That's why big name schools should be cautious when hiring coaches who run completely different offensive systems from the previous coach. It takes awhile to transition and if it doesn't work out then you're even more F'd because you'll have to transition again when you bring in the next coach.

He will play corner. Can he play both? definitely, but we have plenty of talent at RB: Baxter, Tyler and Morgan and we are very thing at DB. It will be a no brainer.Originally Posted by after h0urs

Baxter, Tyler, and Morgan can't bring the same gamebreaking ability as Black Mamba. Morgan pre-ACL surgery maybe but not post-surgery.Originally Posted by ooIRON MANoo

I'm hoping for Tyler and Moody McNeal rotation next year with Mamba getting handful of carries per game

I think Thomas' corner skills trump his value as a RB at the next level. He can truly become a shutdown corner.
Personally I would rather have a Tyler/Baxter backfield, with occasional carries for DJ. I don't see McNeal being on the team next year, he's having a lot of trouble keeping up academically,
