Such a salesman.

My sentiments exactly. I had a friend say how he felt he was a snake oil salesman from day one. So he says " I still watch film like all great coaches I've known when they get fired do, to see what I could've done better". The host asks so what is that. This is why he has no credibility amongst the fanbase, I feel like his speeches fell on deaf ears, and  he lacked credibility with our players. He instantly is like "Ummmm, that's a good question" caught completely off guard like a kid bullshitting elaborating on a homework assignment they didn't do and stutters through some malarkey about player relationships. C'mon man, you look at film to see how you could have had better relationships with the players! No wonder everybody checked out but the dudes that played at Baylor and Temple.

Got around to seeing clips; man this dude is really high on himself.  I get he's trying to sell his abilities but he really doesn't take the right angles.  If I were in his boat, I'd position myself filled with humility and taking lessons learned.  What he admitted when he was asked about what he would do different was such a bad answer.  I always felt that he had basically no relationship with our best players and he pretty much admitted to it.  You just never saw CMC, Moore, or our top talent actually back him up or speak of him like they did Ron.  And then Matt is like, yep, I didn't really talk to them much, finally did after a few years.  

And meanwhile, he's still acting like he's got some type of secrete sauce.  Such a salesman.

All right, this is weird...

Those quotes bear a lot of similarity to what was said in the Charles Robinson article.

It wouldn't exactly be shocking to find out he read an article about himself, but to turn around and quote or paraphrase things that were in it would be kind of 🤔

He's NOW throwing covid under the bus!

You know, his persona is something Ive seen many times. I just never cared before to look up where he was raised. Sure enough I was right. He was born and raised in NY and Pennsylvania. He`s a god damn Yankee. I work around many different people that work in the trade field. Every time someone throws around about how much they know and how smart they are, it is always bullshit and just about every time they came down from the North or New England states. Yeah you can never trust what they say and when it comes right down to it, they suck at their job and dont know what they are doing. Someone always has to go behind them and fix their mess.

The fact that this is his answer to lWhat would you do differently” make me dislike him even more. 
I haven’t watched the clips because I don’t want to hear that idiots voice. 
But from the comments and tweets I read it seems like he doesn’t think he did anything wrong on the football side. 
Getting to know your players isn’t going to win games. Rhules problems were from how he coached and built the team.

It sounds like something that, if you are an AD at a major program, it will give you a pause about him.  Everybody tries and fails at things.  As long as they take something away from the failure that makes them better and helps reduce the likelihood of another failure, that is grown.  He failed at moving to a level that many good college coaches before him have failed.  The fact that he didn't own up to learning anything beyond BS, sounded like BS, could close some doors for him.  He didn't grow, at least that he would admit.

Geez, guy, act like a normal human being, not some guy on the tube at 1:30am doing an infomercial.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
