This is so dumb its unbelievable. I'm not talking about just NFL picks. I want to see us develop the players we get now! That's when we start getting much more of the top rated players to come in together. We hire people who are not there for qualifications but their connections with the HC. Golden and Richt chose nepotism.
Also I remember before the Clemson game people were talking about the 3 stars they have on their defense. They shut our offense down. Everyone knows their role whether they are 3 or 5 star. That's having a proper coaching system. U can chat all u want but we get better players than 90% of the ACC, yet we consistently lost to 50% of them. That's why u can't get more high rated players to challenge Bama and Clemson. So miss me with that bull. Also when was the last time we had players who played above what they were rated coming in? Rarely, we used to be great at that. That more than stars was why we were great. Coaching
Well first off I don’t understand why you can’t comprehend that we do develop players above what they’re rated. For the past five or six years we’ve constantly put three stars in the NFL while a bunch of Bama‘s five stars haven’t made it. But at the same time you always compare Clemson’s three stars but where do they have their three stars at?. If you look at their defensive line I don’t think there’s one three star on there. And I don’t think they recruited any three star defensive lineman in the past three or four years. So If Clemson shut us down they shut us down with guys that are going to be in the NFL. They even have a Five star a back up.
Clemson has had the same defensive staff for years and most of the same coaches for years. Our problem is always players leaving too early backed up by second stringers weren’t anywhere near their level.
Take for example Alabama since everybody wants to compare the “goat” to everyone else.
They had 6 five stars on that class yeah you read that correctly six. Four of them are still on their team! Moses, Harris, Leatherwood and Ray. And for the past three classes after that class they’ve recruited just as many elite talented kids at the same positions. So you want to give them credit for development but at the same time not give anybody on UM’s staff credit for the kids we’ve had to go to the NFL that weren’t ranked anywhere near what those guys were ranked. Including Gregory Russo which for some reason you failed to mention.
is it all sunshine and rainbows? Absolutely not. Should we have won the coastal almost every year? Yes!
But it wasn’t cause of development!! And I know many people in here disagree.
Golden should’ve fired d-no. Plenty of points to win most of our games including some against FSU if we only had a defensive scheme that worked. Even d-no had players drafted from that shtty scheme.
CMR should’ve never hired his son and went spread. Enough weapons to win almost every game and a defense that shutdown almost everyone we faced and what we’re doing now proves it.
And let’s not forget that Clemson has arguably also had 2 nfl qb’s during that run including sunshine who people have been saying he’s the next great one at the position.
Watson almost single hamdedly took that team to the finals twice.
Our qb’s have barely been practice squad caliber for over a decade.
