January 29, 201610 yr If you need to see what an "up and comer" looks like I suggest you take a look at the guy that replaced Eddie in Clifton. UC got better in this deal... :clap:
January 30, 201610 yr :clap: Zac Taylor got his first OC job at 32 years old. Eddie Gran got his first OC job after 25 years as a position coach. Up and comer... :lol2:
January 30, 201610 yr Zac Taylor got his first OC job at 32 years old. Eddie Gran got his first OC job after 25 years as a position coach. Up and comer... :lol2: From what I can tell everyone UC gets is an up and comer until the day they leave.
January 30, 201610 yr From what I can tell everyone UC gets is an up and comer until the day they leave. Urb, Dantonio, BK, Butch, John Harbaugh, Rex and Rob Ryan, Mike Tomlin, Jimbo Fisher. Been a few good ones around the program over the years. I will say, the term up and comer associated with 50 year old Eddie Gran will keep me laughing for a long time... :lol2:

He did have a top offense in the country didn't he? Those kinda guys get HC jobs.
January 30, 201610 yr How about a rising assistant? He did have a top offense in the country didn't he? Those kinda guys get HC jobs. He had an offense that killed between the 20s, failed a ton in the red zone and turned it over at an absurd rate. For the record I like Gran a lot. He was great to my partner and did a solid job in his first run as OC. That doesn't mean his flaws are null and void when it comes to him running the show at UK. What he doesn't have are 3 NFL quality WRs, a QB rated #1 in the country and playing against the AAC. I hope he does well. I'm skeptical he will given his new situation...

You know Gran is a major upgrade from Dawson. Do you think none of the WRs at UK are possible NFL quality? Barker was suppose to be so good, so? Granted he's in the SEC now, I get that. But come on man, he didn't become a bad hire just because he "left" UC.

They didn't change just because he went to UK. I'm not sure what is hard to grasp about that...
February 2, 201610 yr I had these concerns about Gran when he was at UC. They didn't change just because he went to UK. I'm not sure what is hard to grasp about that... Don't worry give it to the first half of the first game and many will agree and probably blame him and say they want Dawson back or someone new.
February 2, 201610 yr Don't worry give it to the first half of the first game and many will agree and probably blame him and say they want Dawson back or someone new. What's wrong with that? :lol2:
February 3, 201610 yr I had these concerns about Gran when he was at UC. They didn't change just because he went to UK. I'm not sure what is hard to grasp about that... It's not about grasping. It's all good, I just disagree with your take on it now that he's gone. Time will tell I guess.
February 3, 201610 yr It's not about grasping. It's all good, I just disagree with your take on it now that he's gone. Time will tell I guess. If my take was the same when he was at UC, what's the difference? He was good, but left a lot to be desired in his first 3 years as OC. I'd be most concerned that his 3rd year was the worst of his tenure when he had the most weapons and experience. Trending down isn't exactly ideal...

February 3, 201610 yr Makes one wonder why UK stole him from UC. lol He's tight with Stoops. They both better hope it works out... :lol2:
February 3, 201610 yr He's tight with Stoops. They both better hope it works out... :lol2: That certainly explains it.... Thank's for clearing that up.
