Maybe ended up on their radar as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he is referring to Jamie Quarles, who many believe should be the head coach. Perhaps they are right, but I don't know enough about him to say that. He seems to have a good rapport with the team and I think the staff overall, along with Angres Thorpe are very solid. When I was a student at UB in the early 90's a lot of people thought Frank Reich was the best QB on the Bills too. Assistant coaches and Backup QBs are some of the best positions to be in for your self esteem 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a reference to Hodgson. Hard to know who was the better coach, but Hodgson clearly was responsible for bringing more recruits to UB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving the head job to someone whose only d1 experience was a couple of years as the recruiter (yes, a very good one) would be unlikely.

Indeed one most ADs would not take. But the best ones know when and when not to go against the grain. In this case we’ll never know. I played for a coach who was a great recruiter, but not a great coach. We did great winning our conference championship four years in a row, but likely not quite as well as we should have. If you have the horses easier to do well than without especially in hoops. Regardless looking forward to UB football and hoops later this year. Go Bulls!

I feel like the D will be in good hands, but we need someone on the O side that has a vision. After all 0-0 games are still a tie not a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m that case Hodgson should be getting a lot of phone calls next year if Alabama continues their success if ADs think he brings more than recruiting. Nate’s star shines bright so some may perceive him as everything and the assistants as bit players. As for our team, I am more than happy with the recruits we assembled this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a chance to talk with Jimmy Conners once when he was in Toronto for the Players Tennis Challenge (which we had sponsored). I asked what he thought was a key to his success (charm aside)? He said, "I play to my strength, not my opponent's weakness". So maybe you can't/don't need to hide your weakness...but you better be prepared for what your opponent is good at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuchMany Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I have a feeling this is going to be good for our overall brand as long as the winning keeps up with our recent standard. We're the main story in college football right now and it's all got a positive sheen to it. Coach Mo should be able to parlay this MoMentum (😪) into recruiting success and program notoriety. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
