David Curry

Me and my dad where talking about guys coming back. Can you really say that Curry wouldn’t be a good example for young guys? I actually respect him a lot and think that he might make a pretty big impact next year if he’s here.

I wouldn't be mad if he did. Dunno about the academic side. Probably wants to start making some money

This is not a post to degrade the dedication and hustle that was attributed to David Curry but I just did not think he ran 5.6 miles during the Duke game. Duke ran 81 offensive plays and let assume David was in every play. I do not need to even use GT calculus but simple math.

5.6 x 1760 yd/mile=9856 yards


9856/81 plays=121.7 yards per play. I think we need better pedometers or David runs winds sprints on the sidelines

The metric is worthless. It’s as useful as how many pull-ups a player did durning the week prior to a game. Who cares?

If we are serious about getting the program to the next level, EVERY old guard player has to be replaced by better talent.

Eventually sure. But aside from parts of the discussion about culture from coach being nauseating, currys brain in other players would have us 5-4 at this point. These young guys do need someone older on their case to show them what the expectation is. Coaches can’t do it because of how their words fall flat after so many repetitions.

I mean really if you think about it we are talking about ONE specific player from the old regime. Sometimes it’s addition by subtraction but I like currys leadership. He’s the kind of guy that can lead from second string.

I'd like to see him come back. Is he in a graduate program? He's been here for a while

Maybe not by itself, but in combination with other metrics I'm sure it is a pretty good tool for coaches and the S&C staff

You can do that too quickly.

Next year there will be between 50 and 60 Collins recruits on the team. Maybe less, with normal attrition.

You want to go to war with a team of 50 to 60 players? And your youngest players at that? You can't.

Collins knows this. He got the holdover players to buy in on him. The way you get the holdover players to buy in on him is to treat them the same as "his" players, have one team and only one team undivided, and motivate them to be more than they ever thought they could be.

I love it when Curry and Mason and Carpenter do well. We would not be the team we are without them. I wish there were more holdovers like Curry, and less like Christian Philpott, Mikell Lands-Davis, Dorian Walker, and Dante Wigley. Not criticizing those athletes directly, but they were rated higher than Curry, and Curry is here and they were not.

Two FCS players, a D2 guy, and a guy that was able to play at Colorado after JuCo. This is where our transfers end up. These guys would not have made a difference.

Your forgetting that every time the announcers say the word "egg white omelet, transitioning from the Triple option, waffle house, positive energy, hashbrowns" it will add 50 yards to any pedometer within broadcasting range. I got like nearly 15000 yards sitting on my couch drinking booze.
 
Curry is a coach on the field just doesn't have that speed. Noticed during the ND game when we put meguiez in we had a lot better looking plays than when curry was in.
