I think the reason starters get more reps is so that your starters have had enough practice to go up against the best of your opposition, who also had starter reps. If you’re not getting starter reps then you’re probably on par or worse than Citadel throughout your guys above the line.
I like that the guy can recruit and generate excitement. I don’t think some of the stuff is necessary and actually detrimental. There’s a reason why there are established ways of doing things, and anything revolutionary, if it doesn’t work, well there’s a reason it doesn’t work and why it’s never been implemented.
Not sure I agree with that. I used to run my baseball practices exactly like this because Ron Polk's Baseball Playbook showed how he started doing this to maximize reps. At the time, nobody else was doing that either. And Ron Polk is now a College Hall of Fame manager whose teams made it to the World Series 8 times.
I don't know that some of the antics are necessary either but he's definitely trying to make it seem different to the recruits and if it works with them, then I don't give a rat's rear end because we need more/bigger/stronger/faster and need it quickly. FWIW, I think his attention to detail on every little aspect of perception, culture, planning, facilities, strength & conditioning, etc is phenomenal and reminds me an awful lot of 'the process' that Saban has at Bama and somewhat like Dabo has at Clemson.
It has been pointed out that we will never 'out Jimmy & Joe' Georgia and Clemson and that might be correct but we should be able to recruit much more closely to them than we have been. If he can get the proper OC and DC's beneath him, that might just work out really well for us. If he doesn't, oh well...at least the next guy will inherit some really good talent which is more than I can say of the current situation.
