Buster Faulkner

[BainbridgeJacket]

Long was demoted after the UVA or FSU game; thought that was well known. Think it was UVA when he kept calling all vertical routes while our QB Gibson was rattled as hell.

It has a whisper of familiarity, but I think I blocked out the last 4 years because I don't have any distinct memory of that nor do I find anything on a quick search.

 

[00Burdell]

I don't think anyone is saying Buster isn't calling plays. This was about last year.

Just shoot me.

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

First I am hearing of this.

Same here

 

[00Burdell]

Same here

Long, not Faulkner.

I did hear about Long last year but somehow spaced out and thought they were talking about Faulkner this year.

 

[BigDanT]

Long, not Faulkner.

I FAULKNERED your mom for a LONG time when I gave her my WEINKE.

 

[THWUGA]

Boy this thread turned dumb real quick, as ushe.

Weinke and Faulkner did great this year together - everything points that way. I’m certain that zero people on this message board know exactly who did what in that partnership, and I’m pretty sure that doesn’t matter anyway.

We need both good coaches to keep improving, and more good coaches to do the same on defense.

Simon did his best stuff with Garfunkel, not solo.
same with Hall and Oates

There might be some disagreement about Paul Simon. Neil Young is a good example of soaring after going solo from CSNY.

Don’t need him around anyhow.

Dreamtime was catchy. It always stuck with me from Disney’s Monster Hits Halloween special in the late 80’s

Hall and Oates don’t get along much nowadays. Suing each other over who can perform what.

Neil Young was a pathetic whiny bitch. His weak-ass voice was one of the worst in music. Tone deaf people loved him though.

A candidate for MTSU job.

A candidate for MTSU job.

Buster used to coach there. I think he can get better offers in a few years.

Georgia Tech offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner is a candidate to become the head coach at Middle Tennessee, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed Thursday to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Faulkner, 42, helped orchestrate a major offensive turnaround for the Yellow Jackets in 2023. Tech has scored 14 more points per game this season compared with 2022, has the ACC’s top rushing offense at 197.1 yards per game and the league’s fifth-best total offense at 429.1 yards per contest.

“I think I’m the luckiest man in the world. Being from the state of Georgia, this is where I want to be,” Faulkner said after a Jackets practice in March. “I don’t want to be anywhere else.”
A former Parkview High and Valdosta State quarterback, Faulkner joined Brent Key’s staff earlier this year after three seasons as a quality-control and quarterbacks coach at Georgia. Faulkner was the Middle Tennessee offensive coordinator from 2011-15.
Faulkner signed a two-year contract with Tech and is being paid $750,000 annually.
Tech’s offense under the direction of Faulkner, and co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke, scored 48 touchdowns this season, more than twice the total from the ‘22 squad. Quarterback Haynes King has thrown for more than 2,700 yards, King and running back Jamal Haynes have totaled 1,579 yards rushing and 12 different players have caught a touchdown pass.

Middle Tennessee fired Rick Stockstill on Monday. Stockstill coached the Blue Raiders for 18 years.

This would suck. Couldn't blame him for taking the opportunity but really hope he feels the need to finish what he started here first, and get some more development. He's still young.

MTSU isn't an opportunity. It is a paycheck.

As long as Weinke stays, I'm OK

Head coach at an FBS school is absolutely an opportunity for someone with no HC experience.
