Hauck to Illinois

You are better than 90% of the FCS, but you should be better than what you've doing at the DT position. It's not an impossible position to recruit. Overall your recruiting has been quite good, however your recruiting at the DT position has been quite poor relative to what you should be getting.

Yes! And it's a huge reason why (IMO) the 3-3-5 here struggled at times against the top teams, which hopefully Illinois has the resources to make sure never happens there.

Again, I have no idea if it will work, I just think it will be fascinating to watch.

DT in the Hauck 3-3-5 is not a plug and play a freshman out of high school position. Development is a huge key to their success more so than a lot of other positions.

Lots of opinions on Hauck from cat fans around here.
Go celebrate the fact that your team won the natty.
Go celebrate that Hauck is gone.
Go post on your own board we don't care about your opinions.

Griz envy even after winning a chipper. Kind of sad. Poor little fellas.

If you have a Grubner type at nose, which it sounds like Illinois does, the 3-3-5 is a great defense. It's all about personnel. You have a short memory. A nose who stuffs the A gaps allows the rest of the defense to scrape anywhere on the field and it's very difficult for pulling guards to get out in space to block it effectively. Plus there are so many stunts that are used out of it to confuse blocking schemes.

Right... That's why so many national Championship teams have run the 3-3-5 right?

I guess you're smarter than the Illinois coach. You should put your name in the hat and bring your favorite D.

I get what you're saying, but I don't agree with you.

You're viewing it from the wrong perspective. Yes, the 3-3-5 works better if you have better athletes (much like every single defense ever), and yes Illinois will get better athletes than UM did, but they won't be getting better athletes comparatively than what UM did.

UM is a better recruiting program than what, all of maybe 10 programs at the FCS level, and I'm being incredibly generous to the other 10 programs. I know you guys like to act like Gubner is a once in a lifetime lineman at the FCS level, and don't get me wrong, he was very good, but we've seen NFL DT's come out of the FCS in recent years! Plenty of other programs at the FCS level were recruiting and developing good to very good DT's, there's no reason that Gubner should have been the only one that UM got.

Anyways, I digress. UM was one of the best recruiting FCS programs in the nation. Now, while Illinois is going to get better athletes than what UM has been able to, they are not one of the best recruiting FBS programs in the nation. They're not even close to the best in their own conference. While the overall athlete may be better, Illinois is going to be recruiting at a worse level compared to their competition than UM did. We've seen what happens with the 3-3-5 when you get better players than nearly all your competition...it's what UM has been doing the entire tenure of Bobby 2.0.

We live in America. We are allowed to change jobs. Bobby to Illinois….good for him. I wish him the best, same as I did when Tinkle went to Oregon State. The rest of the chatter is all irrelevant. It’s insane how much people care about someone whom they don’t know. As my Daddy once said, “Your opinion matters when you pay the bills around here.” I’m pretty sure none of yous are paying Bobby’s bills right? If we can just get Haslam out the door, we’ll really be cookin!

I'll guess it's very close to 0 who jump in the portal. That's the real shame with his late decision, it left the kids with very little opportunity to move if they wanted. At this point the NILs are all locked up by those who hit the portal earlier. There's very little left. So if a Griz player wants to transfer because Hauck stepped down, they're going to have to do it without NIL.

Hauck gets a pay raise, the kids get screwed. Hmm.

You're an idiot.



Oh wait. I see now that you're a cat fan. My apologies for the redundancy.

So....does this mean I'm off your Christmas card list?
Maybe I am an idiot, maybe Griz players will hit the portal with the coaching change. But I'll stick with my guess, it'll be a lot closer to 0 than to the 11-15 range from the OP.
