Funniest thing is that the OB mods were so quick to jump in and make fun of Hornsports when it was having server issues - and now they are down on NSD

Seems like the author's intention was to rank them based on whom the program could have had as a baseline rather than a ranking of the coaches.

In a heartbeat. Any kid that had second thoughts because of the old regime was just being smart in my opinion. Either he'd come and work hard, or he'd be gone. Definite take.

So that rank of 98 is actually quite bad, correct?

I think that is by team ranking - but Offensive Efficiency doesn't correspond to FEI (which is essentially offensive efficiency) that had Louisville at #25 this year, so I don't know. Link to those stats txscallywag?

FEI is looking at offensive efficiency / which really matters more than just how many points are scored per game.

Txxcallyway What does the metric there - Offensive Strength of Schedule mean? Does that read as the quality of defenses that Louisville faced was 98th in the nation? as in they were weak?

So I was really against the Watson hire - I'd seen quite a few of his games while the Nebraska OC, and I wasn't really thinking his last two years at Louisville looked very good considering he had Bridgewater to work with. This morning I had a little time to look at things more deeply - and...

MBHORNSFAN - People not happy with the Watson hire aren't happy because there's no reason he has to be the choice by Strong, he's in control of the choice.

The answer can still be a yes and the answer to people being unhappy that the hire at OC with Watson can still be a hell no.

Definitely do not want.

I'd guess the one star is in reference to Mack's Brick by Brick motto from a few seasons ago. Some people, myself included are very ready for the change. I do find myself with more and more enthusiasm, I'm really hoping for good assistant coach hires. I'll still one star Mack Brown on his...

The 4 game stretch starting with UFC this year and the uconn and Syracuse games last year all give me pause I'm going to see what video I can find on those All that being said we have to support him to give him the best chance

I don't think you count gruden as someone who should have been brought in for an interview, I'd have liked to see him get to sell his pitch For strong I don't think you are allowed to use conf titles echeese, anyone else can ;-)

Echeese I'm disappointed bc I don't feel we pushed hard for a top hire That would be true with me for mora jr or briles as well I will support strong Pattersons grade is currently at d for me and no amount of dr pepper or good nacho cheese is moving it upto a c You're right we just need to win

Coach Strong has my support also. Patterson has started out with a D grade from me. To not at least bring in Gruden / Fisher / Malzahn or any of the 3 in for an interview is dumb to me.

Agree with some of your thoughts there Whisenant. But we did settle I think. Look at the Louisville schedule results over the last 2 years, and you'll see a lot of very tight games against lesser schools than Louisville that are more than a tad concerning. Last year they lost to Uconn and...

It wont be Chad Morris at OC I doubt we get Orgeron if it's not as a DC - and I don't like that position for him.

I agree with others that no way Orgeron can be considered a great DC hire.

I don't expect us to land Morris at all. Why in the world are we going to shoot for the moon at OC when we wouldn't at HC besides Saban.
