Me and my role model, look-alike, favorite runnin back, brother from another mother, @rayrice27 twitter.com/jc_coleman_4/s…— J.C. Coleman (@jc_coleman4) February 19, 2012
I almost said the exact same thing about Mangus reminding me of Tony G
I'd actually like for him to start watching Ray Rice
vice average speed.
...for the Falcons - and taking copious notes. Seeing the 5'6" Queezy plow over the Seahawks safety was a thing of beauty.
Give the kid a break- If you have kids in HS going to college, let alone the complexities of post grad + HS transcripts, etc., you know that it can be an absolute PITA to get the school to send the proper paperwork to the Univ. plus get it there on time. You'd think they'd be well versed in it, but it gets screwed up ALL THE TIME. We had to lean on HS admin constantly to get it right while the kids tried to help. I feel for Drew in this situation.
Coleman gave us a glimpse in the Duke game, with a little hole and downfield blocking he can take it to the house!
I wish we could just rotate JC and Harris, but I'm pretty sure the coaching staff is set on having Edmunds as a tailback
would be nice if they could find some way to make this happen, but judging by the activity on this site, I'd say Weaver has his hands full at the moment...
Haha I basically just said the same thing below
Thank you for ignoring Michael Holmes. I hope we treat Tony G in the same way - yes he's fast, but he can't break tackles and he still has a fumble problem.
I hope Harris/Edmunds are our Evans/Williams combo and JC4 can be a change of pace guy mostly used in the pass game and in space.
I will say this in regards to JC4 - I don't think we really know what we have yet in him. He didn't shine last year but how could he in a terrible system behind bad o line play. As a Pats fan, I've seen what a little back (woodhead) can do when the big guys in front of him do their jobs, so I wouldn't be surprised if JC4 breaks out next year (assuming our offense as a whole is competent).
Can we all just agree that Michael Holmes and Tony Gregory should only get touches when we're up by at least 40?
yeah, Pep Hamilton basically coached QB's and WR's even though he was the OC. Shaw was the defacto OC so that left Hamilton with that extra time.
Seems Moorehead was not one of their 10 official coaches. The buzz on him is that he is a film-room genius, but as a non-coach I don't know how much he has worked with players on the practice field.
As a non-coach he was not allowed to recruit off campus either, so that means he's almost completely inexperienced as a recruiter. Similar to Cornell Brown when he came in.
Not as excited as this potential hire as I was when I thought he had taken over as WR coach when Hamilton was promoted.
The reports that came out last week had both Grimes and Loeffler in town for the second interviews together, so I think they come as a package.
Also, with Grimes, Loeffler and Morehead we will be adding someone with an NCAA championship ring, someone with a Super Bowl ring, and someone who was the position coach for a Heisman winner.

Since he's raw like Joe said and since Stanford's wide receivers aren't standouts, granted the system doesn't need them to be, it got me thinking. Maybe we're bringing him in because he knows how to coach WRs in a pro style system and knows how to get them to BLOCK (not only from his coaching experience but from his playing days as well). This, plus Logan's comments yesterdays about getting back to running the ball, make me think that Loeffler really is going to be a run heavy kind of guy and we're going after guys that fit the system.
Exactly what I said last week.
Way I see it, if they don't work out, we move on, since I don't see any huge ties to the program.
If they do work out, they are young and there's the potential that they stick around for a good long time.
Is everyone just assuming Jeff Grimes is the guy because we grabbed Loeffler? It seems like there hasn't been much talk about Grimes after the Loeffler news broke. Part of me wonders if we're still looking for a OL coach.
Also, with Loeffler and Moorehead, these hires seem a bit riskier than meets the eye. Loeffler is only 38, and Moorehead is only 32. These offensive hires could flop, but who knows - they could end up really coming into their own at Tech.
But Moorehead was an "Offensive Assistant" but not a position coach....but they didn't have a position coach in charge of WR's.
I think it meant he was effectively the most junior of their offensive staff (they also have one or two "defensive assistants" w/out specific positions to coach). I might also mean he was being paid very little, almost a hybrid between GA (his previous experience) and position coach.
He may have also not had specific recruiting responsibilities. For instance, Rivals doesn't list him as a recruiter...but they don't list many of Stanfords recruiters.
I had also heard that Erik "Soup" Campbell had been considered, lately of Iowa, but a college teammate and coaching colleague of The Loeffler at UM.
in the NFL and having a Super Bowl ring will be great with many recruits. Follow that up with Loeffler's experience with Brady and Tebow and Grimes' reputation. I am liking the hires greatly from a recruiting perspective. Let's see how the product is on the field.
#BEATBAMA
My Junior year i arrived to campus and scholarship people (and partly my fault for trusting naivety) had not filled out some forms correctly. Essentially they said I couldn't enroll that semester. However some very frantic phone calls and hustling on my part opened the doors to me. I am surprised that if it is a university thing and not Clearinghouse then there should be some wiggle room. Weaver should be busting his A$$ trying to get something worked out here IMO. It would be best for him to have that spring ball time to get the playbook and new or refined system down. Also conditioning will definitely be an issue.

# | Footballscoop saying Stanford's Aaron Moorehead will be the new WRs coach. Former Illinois standout and Super Bowl champion Aaron Moorehead enters his third season on the Stanford coaching staff as an offensive assistant.
He comes to The Farm after spending the 2009 season was a graduate assistant coach at the University of New Mexico, where he worked with the wide receivers.
Following his collegiate career at Illinois, Moorehead spent five seasons (2003-07) in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts, including an appearance in Super Bowl XLI when the Colts beat the Chicago Bears. In five seasons with the Colts, Moorehead appeared in 36 games, including one start, catching 31 passes for 330 yards and one touchdown.
Sounds raw, but considering he's coming from Stanford's staff, promising. So I'm going to speculate... Pep would have brought Moorehead from Stanford, and Greg Adkins was Pep's choice for offensive line coach?
So, what is he going to be doing between for the next 5 months between now and June?
Is he staying at FUMA? Community college? At VT but not on the team?
went to high school with Todd Nolen, saw the talent we would eventually miss out on firsthand. Wow that kid could play.
Shame he never was able to qualify... went to FUMA, then some JUCO out in Kansas.
Doesn't sound like Harris is in the same situation, sounds like he has already qualified but just won't be here in the spring because he missed some paperwork deadline.
I'd imagine this would violate some NFL rule, but could he still show up for some spring workouts, even if he isn't enrolled quite yet?
Post lightened up my day! Thanks
