Of all the negative things that could affect Ole Miss with the new OC, I think this is the one people are spending the least time discussing. It may not be in the talent that they have the drop-off; it may be in the recognition, simplification, and support through direct communication after the play is called but before the snap that affects them the most.


Conversly, we should see a huge improvement in this area as opposed the the previous few years where we seemed to always be spending unnecessary time-outs because of slow/poor communication.
Your opinion doesn't matter because that's not official school policy.

Also false. Jersey is not retired. Only retired jerseys are Cannon, Cassanova, Stovall, and Alexander. Bert Jones joins this year. That's it.


I didn't mean JD's specific jersey. I was definitely not clear with my verbiage. What I meant was "when a jersey is retired, the jersey itself is retired, but the number isn't."

Tell that to our last two Heisman winners

They clearly don’t know anything about it


False. The jersey is retired, but the number isn't. Joe was told they probably won't issue the number again, but they reserve the right to do so

Current, followed by Sailor Mike.
This is on Brian Kelly, he and his staff are the ones responsible for promising a recruit a number in order to get him to sign with gs. Kiffin's doesn't have any obligation towards Jayden Danueks. He does have an obligation towards his current team. If Pickett was promised #5 during his recruitment, then that is what Kidfin should honor.

I like and respect Jayden, bu Kidfin and the current staff us stuck between a rock and a hard place with this one. You don't want to lose a current player of a jersey# because it was promised by someone else. This whole situation is dumb.
Benefield, Uman…and I’m especially excited to see our stable of RBs in this offense. I think we’re going to see a plethora of explosive runs.
So basically he’s doing his job, but the guys in front of him are not doing their jobs.
Rick Neuheisel, the guy who left Colorado to take the HC job at Washington.

Truth is, if the kids signed a revenue deal with Ole Miss and got up front money and the contract was specific with details of what the money was tied to, they should pay the money back. I would hope the same for LSU if a player wants to leave and signs a revenue sharing deal. What they shouldn’t be required to do is stay, if the coach they want to play for leaves.


While I kind of agree, I also think OM is opening up a can of worms that no other school wants opened. They're really aiming to the most disliked school in the country.

Absolutely not. By all accounts, we were all in on Sorsby.

Do you you remember the picture of Leavitt sitting court side at the LSU bball game with Lane and just on his phone like he wanted to be anywhere else in the world?

That's when we really heated things up to try and get Sorsby - then he picked TT - then Lane knew he had to be all in on Leavitt and flew to Knoxville.

We got lucky. Plain and simple.


I though that episode was regarding the QB from Washington or WSU...?

Could be a power move to gain leverage. No idea if that would happen. But its out in public now.


Its almost certainly a power move, a shot across the bow, so to speak. In the last 25 years, we've seen the SEC go from one of the premiere D1 conferences to the leader among college athletics. At this point, if the SEC breaks away from the NCAA, either all other power conferences will break away with us and the NCAA will crumble all at once, or it will just happen with a more gradually decline as other conferences eventually break away one by one. If the NCAA doesn't make major changes, we will likely see one of these scenarios occur within the next several years.

Its also likely that Greg Sankey and other commissioners are already having these discussions, likely in small groups for now, getting a feel of how each conference would take to the idea.

You should NEVER set these kinds of expectations. You're setting yourself up for disappointment because it's an unrealistic expectation. It's hard enough to win one! So many things need to go right, at the right time. Repeating us even harder.
See, this is the prime example of why I dont make "absolute" predictions. Sometimes, things don't play out as they're expected to.

This is how you build through recruiting.

Well, we're well past 11th and he wasn't drafted. Thinking he wants a number nobody wants to match.


That's likely the case. If so, I'll gladly have him on our roster.
quote:

And to post about where you want. The OP isn't wrong. These kids want to be paid athletes and they are, so no reason to treat them as kids.


That has nothing to do with the OP's states issue, though.


quote:

I'd have more respect for one if he announced that "for the next 2 to 3 years, I've agreed to a contract to play football at blah blah University".



And you still used the statement the OP complained about. It will satisfy you, but not him/her.
Why? Because you're tired of hearing it? It's part of the presentation. Half of the kids that even get this opportunity will be irrelevant, average joes just like you and I within a few years. Let them have their moment. You have the freedom to not watch/listen.

I hate these types of threads.

I have no doubt they will come in pumped and ready to play. I don't expect ANY team to just roll over. But this is game 1 and we beat them in their house last year. Of course they want revenge.

But I also expect our own Tigers to come in focused and ready.
What time is his commitment set for?
