I think he will definitely be here until the end of this season.
His contract doesn’t run out until January I believe.
RS performance is delaying JH progression to the next level.
We held time of possession lead in the first half vs Cincy. To open the half they went on a 9 minute drive against Randy’s defense. UCF then scored a touchdown to take the lead. Cincy proceeded on long drive after long drive after that including the final one that took the last 5 minutes and 3 timeouts. What sort of clock management solves that?
I really liked what we busted out mid-season to slow things down. Instead of lining up and waiting for 25 seconds, then snapping it, we’d huddle until like 8 seconds left on the play clock, quickly line up and go.
Vs the cows we did it in the last TD drive. Vs Houston last 2 drives for TDs were 9 plays 4 minutes and 6 plays in 2:40 so slower. Vs Tulane game ending drive was 8:29.
Agree. Tempo is a tactic, not an entire offensive approach. This was one of the things that told me Heup is developing. He's trying things he didn't do before. That's a good sign even if it doesn't always work out.
D Wilson waiver wasn’t approved for Memphis. Thornton split time with Maxwell at corner in the game and Lester played the entire game at corner. Per PFF Thornton was the second best defender that played against Memphis trailing only Richie Grant while Lester was the worst.
Well pff is a broken system especially on defensive metrics, but that’s a discussion for another time. An yes I know that Wilson wasn’t approved until after. But then explain why he played against usf over Wilson? Cause he got abused by usf too. Him and the western kid who should be a safety but is a cb. Randy has a hard on for playing his boys over best talent. He’s doing with Thornton this year
Thornton didn’t play “over” Wilson. Wilson played 59 snaps vs the cows. He played over Maxwell and Brown who went out early. Alongside Thornton. Also Robinson was out second half so they were moving guys around that were healthy and able to play. Including Wilson.
And Wilson has made more plays this year in limited time than Thornton, who sucked at Booker T. We, IMG, just attacked his side of the field and he couldn’t do shi to stop it. Which is what everyone has been doing all year. that’s the film on him and has been his entire career in hs and college. You force Him to make plays and he can’t. BYU will do this and it’s not going to be pretty.
This analysis is accurate and supported by Burgess-Becker (Miami-based player) starting over Nate Evans during the first few games of Shannon's first year.
Accurate analysis. Justin Hodges from Western should not be a CB. He is definitely more of a safety. He has limited coverage skills, but is a quick closing tackler who is a big hitter.
Went to UCF for undergrad. UF for masters. Worked for uf. Tried to get job at UCF. So lol not attached to um at all. I just have watched Shannon up close for 5+ years
Tin, My Brother went to UF. Why do you think Shannon has been JOB JUMPING for so many years. Also, has he commented on the defensive recruiting class?
The thing is we have seen the same pattern everywhere he’s been: 1 “rebuild year”, 1 great year, 1 year where he falls on his face. He hasn’t changed his schemes, hasn’t adjusted to modern defensive philosophies. Plus we are so friggan small on the defensive line and linebacker positions. Another Shannon staple.
More than 6 guys were lost. Starting CBs were projected to me Gowan and Dawson. Davis would have started on D line. Charlton, Mitchell, Collier, and Turnier all were let go after that police incident. This doesn’t even take into account depth guys that opted out or injuries like BAM.This guy lost half the starters and still got fired. We lost 6 guys in total and the defense wasn’t great to begin with.
