This, McCord would've been a **** raiser in JJ's defense at DE.
Shoot...
McCord probably would've had a monster career under the last coaching staff, to be honest. Marcus Robinson was a solid contributor for us and I don't think he had half the potential of McCord.
McCord is an all-conference player under any other staff. ****, if they used him like a real 3-4 OLB (Think Clay Matthews position before Capers kicked him inside) he could probably be a all-conference player. The two biggest personnel tragedies of the last 4 years are McCord and Tracy Howard. Gosh **** it, Golden
Dude...
Just watch what they do to Chad Thomas' career if they're still here for another few years.
What they will do? These are the 5 star DE from his class, it is safe to say he is behind every one except for the one that redshirted, and that is debatable frankly.
One of the 5 star DE from the 14 class got burn as a true freshman with 2.5 sacks for the perennial recruiting national champs.
One of the 5 star DE from the 14 class had 11.5 sacks as a true freshman.
One of the 5 star DE from the 14 class had 4.5 sacks and was a 1st team freshman all american.
One of the 5 star DE from the 14 class had 41 tackles, 4.5 sacks, led his team in tackles in its bowl game.
One of the 5 star DE from the 14 class preserved his eligibility and took a redshirt. Probably a good idea academically, he is at a top 5 university.
One of the 5 star DE from the 14 class burned his shirt for 7 total tackles, no sacks, no forced fumbles, but some valuable experience dropping into zone coverage.
