The CheckerBoard

You mean the aggressive style of play that helped gash us for 721 yards against Troy at home?? Being aggressive doesn't mean anything on defensive, especially if you have no discipline or communication between players.

This is Dooley's recruiting MO. Like I said when we offered these type of kids are not going to fire up the fans and build excitement for next season.

We need kids who already have size and speed.

His length at 6-2 and with 4.4 speed fits the description of potential. Taking the ACT in December may indicate why not many teams especially SEC, where it is a bit harder to get in school than some other ptograms, have not offered to date.

Dooley just wants to give guys opportunities to jump in over their head much like he did 3 years ago. Or was that 2 years ago? All of that "year zero" talk has me as confused as Coiner looked on the sideline in Starkville.

Also I would think this guy was a little more priority if Hinshaw was recruiting him. Hinshaw has an established name and reputation in that state.

Which brings up and entirely different issue I have with Dooley. Why on Earth do you make you best recruiter your "Recruiting Coordinator", and have him doing the busy work and paper pushing?? That one made no sense. It's why you never saw Thompson as the RC here, in fact, he laughed and politely said no when approached about it.

Eric, you seem to be good at identifying the problems but don't ever give any solution. What's gonna help fix the problems? (not being a smart a$$, just want to hear what you think will fix it...)

Understood. And I appreciate the response. I'm not real familiar with the responsibilities there, when it comes to paper pushing and didn't know what all that entailed. Just figured it would be some low-paid underling, pointing out the hot-spots to the coaches.
