Gerad Parker - Troy Head Coach :)

[Bluto]

3rd year is the first year you can judge someone’s coaching?

Without there being an association to the previous coaching staff who may or may not have mismanaged the roster, generally speaking I think that’s a yes.

How much is Charlie Jr's buyout?

 

[BeatSC]

Let’s see how the rest of the Ole Miss game goes. Dart is far better than Hartman.

 

[Giddyup]

Charlie JR is a ball boy for Lane Kiffin. Lane calls the plays.

No, but there is context here. In the case of Stuckey walking into an almost completely empty room, literally empty, yes.

lacking depth no doubt, but styles regressed and Thomas colzie lenzy underperformed

I'd agree Styles regressed, but last year we had a MAC quarterback who lacked the arm to utilize Lenzy. And Thomas, a three-star recruit who became our most reliable WR, did not underperform. This year he and Colzie have been hurt pretty much all season.

 

[BeatSC]

Styles needed a shrink. He was in his own head. We could still have used him this year and he would have been better off staying. Degree from OSU vs ND?! What a dipshit.

Thomas was a 4 star with offers from every top team

 

[mrmcgrail]

He was as a composite 326 so he was never some blue chip recruit.

Three stars on 247. Borderline four star composite. The lowest-rated WR or TE we recruited in that class, way lower than Styles or Colzie.

He did have some good offers though.

I actually don’t prefer composite because part of it is clearly BS

Either way… yea Stuckey didn’t walk jnto the best situation at wr, but two years in the only thing thats improved is the numbers

I think we got lucky with faison, hopeful with cam next year, but think Rico needs to be beat out by Thomas when healthy and hopefully others

Lenzy had his best year under Stuckey, and Thomas has not underperformed, he had been hurt all year. Nagging leg injuries will derail any skill players season.
Colzie just isnt it, but not every player hits.

 

[IrishLax]

In retrospect, getting Styles to stay and getting Lenzy for a 5th year would've made a crazy difference.

 

[ulukinatme]

Both played better than any wrs this year, And we probably have 4-5 wrs rated higher

Can you talk about any player developing under Stuckey over the last 2 years?

Greathouse looked awesome when he was in the Slot, Tyree has made a good transition but also at Slot which is Sam's favorite position. Rico has been pretty good for a true freshman getting thrust into a starting role. Tobias isn't there yet, but he still has some time. Thomas and Colzie have been injured. Can't really gauge WR performance last year because of QB issues, and this year has been injuries. I like what I've seen from Stuckey's guys in limited reps compared to Del's product.

OK. Well some services had him as a high three, others as a low four. Either way, Thomas isn't the problem. When healthy, he's a solid #2/3 WR for us. The problem is we've got a bunch of those guys but we don't have a #1.

Greathouse I do agree looked like a good slot. But I think Rico has been disappointing despite being a frosh. Way ahead mentally but lacking talent. Tobias very disappointing and yea Thomas colzie have been injured

I’m not giving up on Stuckey but next year is big for the wrs

You saying the true freshman who is averaging nearly 16 yards a reception lacks talent is almost as ridiculous as you saying you played CB in the big 10. Tool.

 

[DillonHall]

It would've been Lenzy's 6th year I think. Good for him for moving on with his life and using his degree

 

[arrowryan]

I wonder what Marcus Freeman is waiting for?

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

I'm still surprised there are people who actually have their hopes up that Freeman is going to fire Parker on a bye week with two regular season games left.

Like if i woke up tomorrow with my head sewn into the carpet I wouldn't be as surprised as I would be if Freeman suddenly fired Parker later today.

You mean like yorcich just got fired in season and he actually was a qualified OC

I get it, truth hurts.

I wish Rico was awesome but he’s probably the least athletic nd wr to start a game since Robby Paris, I’m not sure Robby wasn’t a better athlete

Funny too, you’d think someone would appreciate the perspective of someone that’s done it (even though not great in college) even if I don’t sugarcoat my thought, but no, try to turn that into a lie somehow … soft

Less about hopes of firing right now. More about delaying the inevitable. Maybe he already made the decision but will wait until the regular season has concluded.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

If they intend to hire a new OC, my hope is this gets done as quickly and quietly as possible. It needs to be 100% complete to the point that the new guy is in before Parker even knows about it. After the Ludwig fiasco, you go Chicago Cubs Craig Counsell on this and do it covertly as humanly possible so you not only get the guy you want but you don't look like idiots again if it goes sideways the second time around.

This, we got Hartman being aggressive early behind the scenes, do the same for OC

Not his first year as an Oc though. People have been frustrated with him for a year+. If Parker is going to be fired, the people who need to know, know

He hasn’t fully driven me insane yet.

He’s got “smartest guy in the room” syndrome

Unless there’s an analyst you want to promote to staff member there’s no reason to cut staff. You can shift responsibilities without making announcements.
