So guys that were with Gattis for 3 years that can't catch the ball consistently are Corley's fault? Hamler and Pat F seem to be fine and they barely sniffed Gattis....just saying you cannot have it both ways. Now I know Bowen coaches TE's, but Polk, JJ, and DT all had years under Gattis. None were ever consistent threats but would make the occasional circus catch. You cannot coach hands and focus. These guys are in their own heads regardless of the coaching IMO...at least that is my take.
Huhh, JJ had one TD catch last year. They both had drop issues last year as did Polk and Charles. Let's not re-write history here. So in your world they forgot 3 years of coaching in 8 months....got it. I see a frosh getting separation somehow. I have also see Thompkins create separation with no issues only to drop the ball. The drops are mental just as the OSU ones were. This offense is one of the better ones around in spite of these mental lapses. Whether or not Corley stays or goes isn't my concern, but blaming him for mental lapses is a bit of a joke to me....sorry but it is. Did Corely teach JJ to make the circus catch? Of course not. What do you think he is teaching differently.....be specific. Do you think he is saying precision doesn't matter in route running? Catch with your chest versus your hands. Don't block downfield?
Corley is also the primary recruiter for Top-100 receiver David Bell, who we are the current favorite for.
Based on what I saw only Wiltfong has Bell to PSU. Others have him leaning to Purdue.
JJ had some drops last year as did DT. Drops are a part of the game. OSU had 4-5 the other night as well. Sometimes it a tough catch and we all get that. Mac H had one the other night, but it was a sidearm throw coming at a funny angle....still a good WR should grab that.
I trust Wiltfong more than the rest of them put together, to be honest. Especially since Wiltfong is based in Indianapolis.
I don't think you have enough data as done anyone else to make that conclusion. I also know if you have a revolving door less than a year later you will lose some very elite recruits you are in on. Whether or not he is an upgrade or downgrade remains to be seen. I just don't blame him for wide open WR's dropping balls.
Maybe Mike Tomlin would take the job. He's a Tribe guy from way back.
I would think many asst FB coaches would take a pay cut to have a shot at being a HC even at that level. I would have to think even at 1aa (FCS?) level, the total package for a HC would be somewhere in the neighborhood of what they are making now. If you would be expected to beat Richmond, then they should at least pay you like Richmond's HC. From 2016 Richmond’s Danny Rocco received a total package worth $437,672.
I think it's fair to say he was a great coach as well. Makes sense as a former NFL safety who knows exactly how to beat...himself. I give him a lot of credit for DeaSean's ability to catch passes in extremely tight coverage because he was phenomenal at disguising that the ball was actually coming to him. He had a unique understanding of the position that most WR coaches probably don't. Nothing even needs to be said about his recruiting which was clearly elite.
Shane Lee, the linebacker from Baltimore - and I’d take Lance Dixon and Brandon Smith every single day of the week.
Yeah. Don't want to hype a kid too much ... Still. Brandon Smith looks like he has the potential to be a great football player.
That “drop” was on 9, ball was low and behind 12 who was cutting across the field. Trace’s deep balls were on point Sat night but many of his intermediate throws were not.
