OFFICIAL 2022-2023 COLLEGE FOOTBALL THREAD

In a good way?

Hell no, one of the worst games I've ever seen

 

[aepps20]

Very proud of that young man. He ran the play exactly how I would draw it up.

Hell no, one of the worst games I've ever seen

remember when Tony Elliot was a highly sought after coaching prospect?

Between him, Jeff Scott, and Venables... I hate to say it, but maybe Dabo doesn't get enough credit.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

HC is a much different ballgame than as a Coordinator

Plus (esp Scott & Elliot) aren’t working with nearly the same amount of talent that they’re used to. Life is much different w/o a Watson, Lawrence or DJ U (and an elite defense on the other side)

Nah, that’s not fair at all. Those dudes were good coordinators. Jeff Scott has USF looking much better too and UVA doesn’t have much. Bronco had them overachieving as it was. You also irrationally hate Oklahoma . Venables was arguably the best DC in CFB

You and I have talked about the drop off position groups have once their coach becomes a HC - see Donte Williams, Jimmy Lake, etc. - because the coach can't dedicate as much time to training and coordinating, but Dabo has always been talked about like he was interchangeable with many other HCs and that Clemson thing with IPTAY would just keep humming. Now it's looking more like it was the coordinators who were interchangeable and Dabo who was holding it together.

I had my criticisms of Elliot and Scott before, but they're even more heightened now that they don't have 5 star talent everywhere. I think Venables is an elite coordinator. Again, we've talked about what almost happened with him and usc and how excited I was, but OU's talent isn't as bad as it's played this year. Now, maybe that's because he's not actually involved with much gameplanning as the OU insiders have tried to lie and excuse away but maybe that's even an indictment on him.

Dabo's got interns running that thing and it hasn't missed a beat. He deserves more credit than he's been getting.

I mean, they had a bad year for their standards last year but you’re right. They also have more talent than every team in the conference. They aren’t smoking everyone like they used to but agree it’s impressive that they’re still winning.

[witnesskb24]

I wonder what the flag was for?

 

[651akathepaul]

So ****ed up.

What was the aftermath though? They let him score AND got hit. A real football experience.

Some guys top out as very good coordinatiors, but I still have some confidence that Venables will eventually turn it around there.

Even when they had Watson and Lawrence, there were criticisms that Clemson’s O was stale, and getting by on talent alone. I’m not surprised Elliot and Scott haven’t translated yet.

Venables had talent at Clemson and to lesser extent OU when he was DC there, but he was always doing innovative things to maximize that talent.

 

[rolaholic]

Woah

This can't be legit right?

 

[Bobby Layne]

Nah it’s a troll, someone with a blue check changed their name and avy. Look at the @ name.

Dude’s last Tweet was like 6 years ago you look at his timeline and he has 3k followers, so doubtful.

 

[HIM]

End of an era imminent

Doesn’t look legit

 

[2163O1baller90]

Nil deals have him spooked lol

 

[aepps20]

I don't like this.I don't like this at all. Some things are bigger than the game.

 

[nako xl]

Because Gameday never goes to the PAC I’m watching today like “why the hell is it nighttime??” I just realized it’s cuz it’s 630 and rainy in Oregon.

 

[firered18]

firered18 gotta come in here and talk his **** about Tennessee. Was definitely not a believer in Heupel last year and shocked at what they’re doing now. Hendon Hooker NEVER looked this good

Ay bruh I used to be ready to talk my tan but after 12 painful years since my freshman year on Rocky top, IM JUST THANKFUL
