Basically he was saying, I'm OK with him assaulting students because that guy can coach. College football everybody, where we are OK with a coach physically assaulting a player, but if that player gets paid it is the end of the fucking world.

EVA Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 But seriously, good for him. I thought it was odd how Temple kinda flew under the radar this year despite having a better season than last year. A lot of coaches have had that one-year wonder where they jump into the spotlight out of nowhere (hello, Colorado). But following up with another strong season proves you've built a legit program.

The best defensive player in the country. Shit, Allen has half as many TDs as Peppers and he only really plays defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most overhyped player in the country. Talented guy, but he simply does not produce at an elite level at ANY of his many positions. He's up for player of the year at 3 positions in the best conference in the country. He was elite on defense but not offense or returner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was elite on defense but not offense or returner. Can you point me toward some data that actually supports the notion that he's elite on defense? Because the only statistical category where he rates at all on that side of the ball is TFL, where he barely sneaks into the Top 30 with 15. And even that number falls apart as "elite" under scrutiny when you consider how significantly it's fluffed against bad opponents. His only really good game against a quality opponent was 3.5 against Colorado (which is good!). But when it comes to how he fared in the best conference in the country...he had a whopping 5.5 for the whole season. And against the best teams they played in conference (so Penn State, Wisoncsin, Ohio State, Iowa) he had.....zero. That's right. He had zero TFLs against teams with winning records in conference (or winning records period, once you get by Colorado). That is not elite. And he wasn't any better in coverage. PFF tracked him as allowing 20 completions on 26 targets where he was the primary defender this year and he has ZERO pass defenses on the season. His 1 interception was a Manti Teo Special where he happened to be in the right place for a tipped pass to fall into his lap. That is not elite. Look, he's a fine player, but the bottom line is, before the season even started, the media created this narrative that he was the 2nd coming of Charles Woodson and that has carried through with him into awards season. But he's not even close. But just so it doesn't seem like I'm piling on the guy, I don't understand why Myles Garrett is up for the Bednarik either.

EVA Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 LSU OC is Kiffin's fallback if he doesn't get a head coaching job. Watch out for him to be the top target at USF, though. Meanwhile, point and laugh at how badly Houston bungled this coaching search. Classic case of a small program trying to overstep their bounds and getting smacked back down to reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
