  1. I know several kids that played under Coach Hood. Most of them do not speak fondly of him nor could I. The times I dealt with him and his staff they were rather rude. The kids all seemed to know this was going to happen last year. The rumor I heard was he will be at OSU next year. I wish I could say something nice about him but I can't. The dorms the team stay in are substandard at best.

    As of players I'm sure there are some bad apples but all the players I have met were respectful and very nice. Alot of them have even stayed in my home on there way to there own homes I never had any issues at all.

     

    That's not uncommon. Position coaches are usually the ones liked most by players because that's who they spend most of their time with. Head coaches are usually least liked by players because head coaches don't have luxury of forming relationships with 100+ players. When Hood was at EKU as a DB coach everyone liked and respected him and a large majority didn't like Roy Kidd.

  2. Compared to what Stoops took over, absolutely.

     

    What Joker took over, a team that went 7-6, 3-5 in the SEC.

     

    What Stoops took over, a team that went 3-9, 0-8 in the SEC.

     

    This is true. So what's the excuse now? According to many, stoops has more talent than recent years and playing in a weaker SEC East that we have seen in years and still can't get to get to 6 wins.

  3. You are correct that Joker was a primary recruiter under Brooks staff. The recruiting from the Brooks era and Jokers era were similar, however Joker did less with the same type of talent.

     

    I'm not sure I would agree with that. I think Brooks left once he saw the talent was running thin.

  4. I suppose that rule of thumb didn't apply to Joker then because recruiting during his tenure was abysmal.

     

     

    It's hard to compare the two considering joker had already been in the program for 8 years berfore taking over for Brooks. If I'm not mistaken Joker was the recruiting coordinator for Brooks when they had two 8 wins seasons.

  5. Finished the same as last year, but better than Jokers last year. They certainly have work to do, but the recruiting is much better under Stoops than we have seen in a long long time. That said, it takes a while to turn around a 1-9 program, especially in the sec.

     

    Recruiting is always better the first few years when a new coach comes in. The SEC east is weak right now compared to past years.
