2009 class was the highest rated ever But 2014 class was the most productive by a country mile

Looks like Larry Scott is the new HC at Howard University

Maybe more of an option to play right away...Maybe his old position coach is not interested.

He was in the tweet of CJS shaking hands with the players running back from conditioning...all players have numbers on their Adidas shirts..Ford is wearing #1...the Oregon transfer RB is wearing #2

Looks like he has LHS covered.

 

That's awesome. Nice way to start a pipeline

So I wonder how that works the other way. I know CJS made it sound like an engagement...so what about recruits committed elsewhere? Does he still go after them or leave them be because they are spoken for? Its always cool to flip a kid but I think that means they were not 100% to start with.

I do know that Scott pulled schollys from kids who were originally told that they stayed committed through the coaching change and took no other visits, that wouldn't happen. I understand that those were CCs holdovers but still,  if loyalty is a sticking point, its gotta go both ways..........

Who did that happen to? Just wondering who, not being argumentative.

He said that his policy is that if you commit then you are committed...period. No more visits. If you commit then take a visit somewhere else then he will pull the scholarship. He compared it to getting engaged then dating other people up to your wedding day. 

I agree with the policy, but i can see where it will be difficult due to these kids being young and easily influenced.

If he does Scott will pull the offer...that’s his policy...commit only when you are ready to settle down and truly commit.

1 minute into the Penn State game .... PJ starts, we win and are in the Big 10 now.

Big Facts. Don’t know about the Big 10 entry bet we for sure win that game.

Meh...more like a flea market....but a classy flea market like Big Top flea market, you know where part of it is air conditioned.

That's gonna be a long wait I'm afraid. I'd love for him to get another job and lessen our financial burden but I'm not sure he wants one and I'm not sure any good destinations want him.

I think he could make a very comfortable living as a DC somewhere. My feeling is his HC days are done.

Just about anything you watch can be considered "lowbrow entertainment". I can tell you however that I watch football at a much different level than I do any movie or tv show, or just about any other sport. 

I watch USF football with my Father in Law and we are dissecting the game as we watch...paying attention to schemes, formations, game plans, etc and discussing these topics. I am sure there are lots of people out there and on this board that do the same. So in a way I would say I am a more sophisticated football fan than not.

And as OBSESSED you are about CJL, you must watch at some level of sophistication......or not.

Tallahassee is and that and Boca which is are the last two jobs he has had since he announced that desire, the job before that was being the highest paid DC in college football. 

He was never the highest paid DC....

He likes being close to his ailing mother, the heartless bastards on here wouldn’t understand that somethings make some opportunities more valuable to some people.

San Francisco, Colorado, Oregon, Tallahassee......Close to Mom?

If they had better opportunities they would be at them.

Just like the DC at FAU right?

This kid is talented...maybe a late bloomer. Watching the highlight video makes me think how did we not look at this kid.

Another video to look at. At 3:06 mark in the video...takes a snap from inside his 10...drops back into the endzone...ends up running for a TD...this kid is FAST

It’s 50 percent more than was being paid to the FAU assistants before they were all fired, we paid them all more for no other reason than because we had the budget. What’s the point of raising the pool if all we do is hire fired people that were making 50 percent less with it? Seems we only needed a pool of around $1.5 million and we could have invested the other two million into only losing a few million every season.

When did they get fired?

I think it is still more apples to oranges.  I get that FAU destroyed Temple, and that was quite impressive.  But it was a meaningless Bowl Game, so you have to wonder how much of Temple's heart was in it.

I think the majority of the Cusa teams would struggle mightily against the AAC teams if they played each other throughout the entire season.  FAU is at the top of that conference right now, so if we were to raid any Cusa coaches, that would be the best school to target.  

I don't have a problem with this approach.  But these coaches are in for an upgrade in competition and they will need to be ready for that.

and the hopeful thing is an upgrade in talent to go against the upgrade in competition.

Looks like an upgrade for the most part, but we have to remember this is CUSA level football, so its a little apples vs oranges.  Also, don't particularly like the Pass Defense stat - looks like a downgrade there!

Is it really though? I would say more like oranges vs grapefruit. CUSA level football destroyed SMU which destroyed us. Also, when was the last time we beat a CUSA team? We are 0 for the last 3.....

Did anybody look at the history of these coaches?

Was there all this skepticism when the last Db coach was hired?

Jason Jones has had higher profile jobs than this guy....which seems to be the measuring stick for some on this board. 

Some numbers:

Total Defense: FAU 49th USF 72nd

Turnovers (fumbles/ints): FAU  11/22   USF 12/12

Sacks: FAU 34  USF 29

Pass Efficiency Defense: FAU 39th (123.42) USF 51st (129.08)

I love the helmet stickers! My assumption is because they use multiple helmets They don’t have stickers
