[Willow Grove Dawg]

This has a chance to be a complete FUBAR

I really hope this opinion is Old Takes Exposed material in a couple of years

 

[Crazy Cotton]

Youth movement!

Honestly have no idea hos this impacts recruiting. I could see the athletes appreciating something other than some grizzled old coach, but then what does Momma think?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Coaching is a young man’s game. Especially nowadays.

While I wouldn't completely disagree, that's what we told ourselves last summer.

Bleh. Experience is still key, just like in anything.

They appreciate a fat NIL check whether it’s promised by a 22 year old straight out of college or an 82 year old headed to the nursing home.

He's getting the band back together.

When that grizzled old coach (Saban) waves those bills under an athlete's nose they won't see young or old.

Didn't we have like 100+ years of SEC experience with Arnett's staff?

Heavily skewed by David Turner and Tony Hughes. We had a first time HC and first time DC with a promoted analyst coaching safeties. This staff feels similar.

[Rupert Jenkins]

Shoulda got rid of Turner. He is throwing the numbers out of line. I like the youth. Remember Friend had all that SEC experience. Also remember when Collins and Shannon were brought up they had " lost the fire" and were " has beens". Can't have it both ways guys. This might be a total dumpster fire but we will have to see

 

[Bullldawg78]

Is it normal to have two OL coaches? Just curious, one for left side and right side and the split the center?

According to King Solomon, this is how you figure out which OL coach loves the center more

He’s starting a band. They’re not old enough to have a comeback tour

Leach hired his friends, how is this different. Every coach brings in his people with whom he is comfortable.

 

[HumpDawgy]

David Turner gonna need a buddy on that staff. They are gonna call him Grandpa.

Paging Melvin Smith!

Lebby was given the golden opportunity to coach in the SEC. The coaches you put around yourself will make you or break you. Just ask Arnette. I hope he's not blowing it.
