The Legend of Kevin Sumlin

doogie

-- Kevin Sumlin is the name people keep bantering about. It makes sense. He passed on the UCF opening and fits the profile of what Oregon was looking for when it hired Willie Taggart. Sumlin is a good recruiter. He's an upgrade as a coach over Taggart. I expect he will interview. Let's place him as the early favorite.

I’ve been so mesmerized by this gif every time it’s posted that I never noticed the game situation.

Still can’t believe they blew that lead. If ever a coach deserved to be fired on the 50 yard line...

Interesting tidbit from article:

Oregon had its chance. Throwing $9 million a year at him won't do it. ... (P.S. UW is so lucky that USC hired Sark over Petersen. I think the entire Pac 12 is.)

Can you imagine the fucking juggernaut Pete could create at USC? The access to players, with his system...jesus...

I was in the airport when they were up by 4/5 scores then when I landed I couldn't believe it to see they had lost.

I was like what in the fuck happened?

Canzano's article just tells me Oregon is about to get it wrong again. "Oregon's contingency plan for Taggart is anchored in recruiting", "Sumlin is a good recruiter," etc.

In his own column Canzano notes the importance of recruiting by stating that guys looking for jobs are still busy forging relationships with recruits. Guys *looking for jobs*. These "good recruiters" got FIRED because they aren't good coaches. Fuck if you can recruit! As much as the TSIO guys would disagree, it's not really about recruiting. Part of it is, sure. To get from a B+ to an A+ it's about recruiting. But look at the great coaches, and they were great (generally) before they got "their guys" in place. Peterman wasn't a "great recruiter" at Boise, he was a fucking great evaluator and developer. MSU under Saban wasn't winning the recruiting natty. Tedford at a Tuff Fresno team didn't just use a time machine to recruit a whole class and turn them into seniors in one year to turn that ship around.

Les Miles recruited like a motherfucker, coaches like shit (okay, he's pretty good, but he was never going to be Saban or Urb). And so on, and so on. You need a HC that knows what the fuck he is doing, and he needs to hire *assistants* that can recruit.

No one gives a fuck about Canzano or any of the worthless drivel he spooges. HTH.
