If we had gone the recruiter route, who knows what kind of goofy stuff we'd be trying to do. Not disagreeing with you but the big unknown about Babers has not gone our way. I'm sure the next coach will be joe recruiter and then we'll have to worry if they know how to run a team or know what to do on offense. murphy's law around here
Why is wake easier to recruit at then us?
He's had multiple great wins and didn't have enough depth to have multiple great seasons
Better football in the south?
In the South they start ORGANIZED football in the 5th grade. I know because I played it. That was back in the 50"s. In the 60's, the President insisted I enjoy a summer of exercise and sunshine in Fayetteville NC. I have been eternally grateful. While I was there, NC was playing the annual high school all star game with VA. The Fayetteville had two weeks of coverage of the game including bios of every player in a special five page supplement.
is partially true but play calling has been awful, did not play the back up in games to the extent needed --witness wagner for one, pitch back from a ha; yard out seriously?, clock management, sloooow to adjust to situations. well dropped passes ??? lack of ol play of late may speak to your comment --- it all is not crap imho
They had that same base in the 90s though….we need to recruit better in the northeast.
That’s why I was kind of mystified to hear that we’d offer Dan Conley’s kid at FM if we were sure he’d accept. That’s kind of a** backwards if you ask me, not least because he’s a (very) talented legacy and we toss out offers like candy.
Northeast football ain’t what it was and that’s why we aren’t
Right. Let’s get back to it? How many good programs are there in the northeast? Why can’t we get back to recruiting well within a 5-6 hour radius?
because parents don’t want their kids to play football. Too dangerous. Create a map of where the top 300 recruits come from.
Personally I don't care if other programs and fans respect us. That also means they have no fear of us.
Every game wasn't televised (more reason for good kids to stay withing driving distance), psu was down, put and bc were disasters, Rutgers and temple utterly worthless, facilities arms race wasn't as bad
True, but I still look at that list and see opportunity….if we can get to where we can out coach and play better football than those schools. Whatever advantages that some of them have over us are not insurmountable, and we’ve got some of our own advantages over some of those schools IMO.(college town vs. pro town/area being one….nobody cares about BC, Temple, or Rutgers and even Pitt has a soulless, half empty stadium for most games.
So we’re already talking about next season?
