Not crazy about Coombs as the DC, but ultimately - Poisonut [17:29:51 01/22/21] (7)
- Watch the Fiesta Bowl. Coombs defense was lights out, better than Hafley’s with less talent. * - so-cal [18:37:22 01/22/21] (4)
  - The defense was better against a better Clemson team in 2019, but they got worn out. - Mr.C [20:00:05 01/22/21] (1)

    - They said there'd be no math * - Luckydog [12:52:04 01/22/21] (1)

  - I suggesting he has been under utilized, that’s all * - the Displaced Buckeye [16:33:55 01/22/21] (0)

  - You misspelled "hand wringing" * - ZEKE [12:01:18 01/22/21] (2)

Congrats to Mattison on retirement. Would have been nice to get Freeman back home * - 8NCs7.5Heismans [11:12:12 01/22/21] (3)
- Freeman wasn’t coming to be a Co-DC. He’s proven he has earned the right to run a D by himself. * - Moebuck [11:24:14 01/22/21] (0)
- all this was kinda known - wonder if there was a conversation with freeman a week or two ago * - woodhaze [11:21:48 01/22/21] (0)
- Missed him by *this much* - Mr.C [11:13:09 01/22/21] (0)
In terms of Coombs as DC. Ed and Beck should be exhibit A why you don't allow that 2nd year of incompetence * - Urban Cowbuck [09:49:04 01/22/21] (49)
- Hafley and the star-studded 2019 OSU defense held Clemson to 29. Coombs and 2020 D held them to 28. * - so-cal [15:34:39 01/22/21] (3)
  - 2019 d 4th in country - 2020 d 44th in country * - woodhaze [17:22:33 01/22/21] (1)
    - 2019 defense FAR more talented and far deeper. And yet Coombs D performed better against Clemson when it counted. * - so-cal [18:33:23 01/22/21] (0)
  - Interesting point! * - the Displaced Buckeye [16:28:38 01/22/21] (0)
- Not a fan of Coombs as the DC. Sorry. * - 8NCs7.5Heismans [11:12:58 01/22/21] (3)
  - Have a nice cry and a glass of warm milk. * - TellMe [20:39:49 01/22/21] (0)
  - A HS coach does snow angels after winning and the pass D is awful. Winning is a recruiter (not Coombs). * - BVistahC [13:44:38 01/22/21] (0)
  - All rah-rah-sis-boom-bah * - HithemhardNchowtheyfall [11:19:49 01/22/21] (0)
- In his defense, he was dealt the least talented D we've had since 2013 and covid hurt any semblance of development * - Salty Nut [10:58:03 01/22/21] (20)
  - Most people are missing these facts: (m) - OscarSierraUniform [12:24:30 01/22/21] (12)
    - spot on. * - jaxstor [16:07:46 01/22/21] (1)
      - +1 * - Iron Mike [16:09:15 01/22/21] (0)
    - MOst of these reasons were applicable to Alabama defense. Didn't hurt them against OSU * - DaileyB [12:53:03 01/22/21] (7)
      - uh,,,,no they weren't...they played 13 games...and OSU only had 1 practice in pads before that game. * - jaxstor [16:06:52 01/22/21] (0)
      - And Alabama’s offense would have scored 50 on Alabama’s defense. What’s your point? * - so-cal [15:30:06 01/22/21] (0)
      - No. Not even close. Do you follow college football? Just wondering. * - OscarSierraUniform [14:15:14 01/22/21] (0)
      - Game reps. They didn't have a new coordinator. They weren't breaking in a new backfield. * - OscarSierraUniform [14:07:05 01/22/21] (0)
      - Arguably it did hurt them early on, but they had a lot more game reps to iron things out. - Mr.C [13:00:32 01/22/21] (1)
        
        This for sure. The hype of us being "fresh" was ridiculous, our guys needed more games played. * - Luckydog [13:08:39 01/22/21] (0)
      - I must've missed it when Bama canceled their season before spring ramped up, interesting. * - Luckydog [12:59:54 01/22/21] (0)
    - This, plus, this was the 3rd DC and DB coach in 3 years... little continuity* - drdoublee [12:34:47 01/22/21] (1)
      - Exactly. * - OscarSierraUniform [14:15:57 01/22/21] (0)
  - Right on! * - bob [12:07:51 01/22/21] (0)
  - You are using logic and reason based on his overall accomplishments ❗️ * - SylvaniaBuck [11:26:05 01/22/21] (1)
    - Ah, you’re right. Salty, please delete your post. * - Mr.C [11:31:03 01/22/21] (0)
  - I agree. But Id like to see a proven DC get the “Co” tag... * - Tatum [11:06:27 01/22/21] (3)
    - I’d like to see no DC get the “co” tag. Bring in a good DC and give him the keys. * - Scarlet Ann Gray [23:09:01 01/22/21] (0)
    - How many proven DCs will accept that? * - Mr.C [11:07:14 01/22/21] (1)
      - Good question. I see where OSU practiced one day in pads between Clemson and Bama. Wow * - Tatum [11:09:42 01/22/21] (0)
- How would Hafley have defended that Alabama machine? * - ZEKE [10:45:58 01/22/21] (13)
  - Disguised and snuck in Chase, Hamilton, Okudah, Arnette, Fuller, and Malik (m) - Barrett777 [11:21:06 01/22/21] (5)
    - I’d agree, but it wasn’t just Bama that lit up our pass defense this year. - Mr.C [11:23:30 01/22/21] (4)
      - OTOH, one thing Coombs has proven good at in the past is developing talent in the secondary - Mr.C [11:25:52 01/22/21] (2)
        
        Aren't 2 of the top 5 corners in the '21 class? "They'll bite as pups" * - Luckydog [13:04:58 01/22/21] (1)
        
        And I’d bet that just modest improvement in the secondary mean big improvement for the overall defense - Mr.C [13:22:07 01/22/21] (0)
      - Agree. It was a combination of coaching, scheme, and players not executing* - Barrett777 [11:25:45 01/22/21] (0)
  - IDK - maybe try something different after similar play used 3x? * - Buckmich [11:11:13 01/22/21] (3)
    - Oh. So you don't know. * - bob [12:09:41 01/22/21] (0)
    - aac <sobs> * - Mr.C [11:19:39 01/22/21] (0)
    - Yes. Or rotate in some of the 4 stars on the bench * - Trucker22 [11:15:34 01/22/21] (0)
  - Kyle Jones gave his opinion, which was Bama runs it down our throat if we are in anything besides the 4-4(m) - Tatum [10:53:01 01/22/21] (2)
    - Needed a plan B once they shredded our defense for an entire half. It was weird to stick with the 4-4 - Mr.C [11:21:38 01/22/21] (1)
      - the 4-4 falls under the tyson line - everyone has a plan till they get hit * - woodhaze [11:22:55 01/22/21] (0)
- The old Co-DC should do the trick. * - uvsw77 [10:08:11 01/22/21] (0)
- I liked the way Urban facilitated Withers’ “promotion” after 2013. But not sure that works for Coombs - Mr.C [09:59:47 01/22/21] (0)
- legitimate concern * - Brutus [09:54:43 01/22/21] (0)
- It’s a Peter Principle thing. KC should accept this and assume his natural role as spirited DB coach/recruiter * - Solomon Dangerfield [09:53:52 01/22/21] (2)
  - Impossible to imagine him accepting a demotion without a 2nd try to get it right. - Mr.C [09:57:51 01/22/21] (1)
    - this - cant imagine he gets demoted - he'll be where he is right now come september * - woodhaze [11:23:52 01/22/21] (0)
From TOS: New Website to Pay Recruits to Attend Your College.... - gobux [08:39:13 01/22/21] (1)

- Expect some defections after Spring ball. * - Buckmich [09:10:51 01/22/21] (9)
  - Yeah, I don’t think there’s any chance we have all 3 stud QB’s in August. * - buckeyecurt [09:53:26 01/22/21] (3)
    - Depends mostly on if someone gets an edge in spring ball, IMO. * - Mr.C [10:13:05 01/22/21] (2)
      - They'd all be even heading to the fall if Im coaching. * - Tatum [10:55:06 01/22/21] (1)
        
        Heh, yep. Even Steven in the spring, then name your starter on day 1 of fall camp. * - Mr.C [11:28:24 01/22/21] (0)
  - i expect one, maybe two, of the returning RBs, and at least one of the returning WRs to be in the portal * - randy86 [09:43:46 01/22/21] (4)
    - Agree! I think a WR departs & I have a bad feeling it will be 1 of our top ones.* - Buckmich [11:16:42 01/22/21] (0)
    - I hope all the WR's stay, but I could see Williams going if he loses that starting job. * - CLTBUCKEYE [09:59:39 01/22/21] (2)
      - He seems pretty good to me. Good blocker. Elite speed. He ain't going nowhere. * - Tatum [10:55:56 01/22/21] (1)
        
        but very under-utilized, IMHO * - randy86 [11:41:28 01/22/21] (0)
- Been sitting here in the portal for a while but with my mad skilz I won't last much longer * - escargray [08:24:20 01/22/21] (4)
  - We want to question whether a recruit has hip rotation, not hip replacement. :) * - SaltLakeCity Buck [09:04:49 01/22/21] (2)
    - lol. Great rotation but can't stand up much less run. * - 00BuckShot [13:02:59 01/22/21] (1)

    - JTT * - SylvaniaBuck [16:55:25 01/22/21] (0)
    - Have a pretty good DB class coming in. Nobody really left you'd take over JTT or Davis. * - CLTBUCKEYE [09:16:30 01/22/21] (3)
      - some rumblings Elias Ricks may leave LSU..would certainly take him * - whobdis [09:23:38 01/22/21] (2)
        
        Just reading some stuff...The Transfer possibility seems to be heating up more today. * - CLTBUCKEYE [09:53:01 01/22/21] (0)
        
        Would be a good one, but I think that's a lot of speculation. * - CLTBUCKEYE [09:38:33 01/22/21] (0)
