i actually dont think he does a terrible job recruiting, he is getting athletes here. this is where i think he is ABSOLUTELY terrible......developing the players that he brings in and schemes that he has a hard on for that dont work. he cant do it worth a lick and he needs to be let go for it.
I think he's done well signing the skilled positions, especially RB and WR. Other than that, we are not very good on defense, the DL, LB and DB are just not that good. The OL has good size, but they are not very athletic and only zone block well. He simply hasn't recruited well enough and developed younger athletes.
You don't have a player, well maybe one or two, on the field that will have a chance to make an NFL roster. If you look at very good to great teams you may have 4-5 on both sides of the ball that have aspirations of playing on Sunday. Therefore all we have are players enjoying the thrill of playing the game and killing time on Saturday afternoons.
Robe uses the term "underwear models." That's what we have on this football team. We have a bunch of guys who look the part and can run a decent time on a 40 yard dash, but they can't make an open field tackle or catch a pass on a 10 yard out route. But don't we look great in those uniforms?
I agree T. We have decent skill position players, but you win (and loose) in the trenches. Look at our O-line and D-line today compared to the lines we had in his first 3 or 4 years here. There is no comparison. Thus it comes down to evaluating and recruiting talent. I'm afraid Hud just doesn't have that ability!
