Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Did a interview with Eklund.

We allready did it w/ the cb from Arizona, then he also mentions one committed to WSU, from Oregon State (out of Tenino in Lewis County), UCLA and then a set of twins currently committed to Idaho State.

Millions of words will be written and spoke about 2022 recruiting class, but all you need to know about how JL and his staff are doing is reading the sentence above.

    Is this a joke? He really said, as a positive I assume, we have a chance of flipping Idaho state commits? Yikes.

    Don't be such a pessimist he also said we could flip from THE Oregon State University

    I was re-listening to the Cinco de Mayo TSIO recently and DDY was describing why Terrence Brown and others are “scavengers.” It was pretty good stuff but yeah, this is what happens when you don’t have a plan or any urgency.

    You actually listened to it twice?

    Yes, but on different days.

    I'm pretty sure I can flip a recruit from Arizona, the Beav or the Coug. Give me their phone number and I'll call and say "Hey, do you want to go to Washington instead of any of those places?" That's all it should take and you gotta try harder than that. Did they flip Troy Franklin or Matavao yet?

    If you can’t tell the coaches had this higher on the board than anyone else I can’t help you.

    I remember when Slingblade was recruiting like this.

    It DID NOT work out.

    I remember when Cristobal was a great recruiter and went 4-3
    Not often I get to use an actual photo of Race in a meme

    Every coach i don’t like is helf potd
    For all the shit talked about Slingblade, he took Oregon to the natty. Anyone is lying if they said they wouldn’t take that. This is Oregon and Washington. Sling is the 2nd best Oregon coach of all time after Chip. And Chip is a bum too.

    Head coaches main job is to build culture. Guys like Jimmy Johnson, Bobby Bowden, and Don James are perfect examples of that. A culture of winning breeds more winning and attracts talent to the program.

    A lot of guys win without that cultural foundation, but they don’t win for long, and they don’t do it with any kind of consistency.

    This isn’t rocket science. Remains to be seen if Jimmy really has that in him, because culture, more than anything, is what success is all about, in any business enterprise.

    Being a good coach in college is all about your ability to sustain success

    There are a number of examples of coaches having initial success after taking over a talented roster and then having an ability to sustain it

    In hindsight most of those future failures were fairly easy to see coming

    Chip left Slingblade with a fully loaded Ferrari 250 GTO in excellent condition. Slingblade then proceeded to drive that Ferrari for 4 years without a single oil change. The first couple years, he got away with it, but soon it died on him. You or I could have taken that team to the title game. They had one of the best mobile college quarterbacks of all-time, a veteran O-Line, and a veteran defense. Helfrich was a poor man's Larry Coker. People give Coker a bad time for sinking Miami's program, but I'd argue that he had twice as much success as Helfrich, in a more competitive conference at the time.

    Helfrich was a reasonable on-field coach, from the standpoint of game-planning and a fine offensive play-caller.

    He was a below-average recruiter and talent-evaluator. Campbell and Lubick carried his mediocre to bad classes.

    He was miserable as a CEO from the standpoint of making hires and setting culture. Pellum and Hoke were disastrous coordinator hires and Frost was an empty headset. Lubick was really the only good coaching personnel move he made. Every defensive hire he made was worse than the one before….

    Vernon Adams saved him from crashing and burning in 2015 as opposed to 2016 but the writing was on the wall big time when TCU came back and won that Alamo Bowl.

    Rick Neuheisel at Colorado and UW . . . He replaced Karl Dorrell at UCLA so the bar was very low there.
