Yeah, but I was the best goddamn paper-clipper you ever saw!

Just wait....next year will be #13 for the head football coach and year 10 for the OL coach.......
First, Cushing is not the only one recruiting these guys so while he is responsible for their lack of development, can't blame the recuiting on him or just on him. Also, our OL recruits tend to have ratings as high or higher than WIS In group 2 there should be an in between. We will win more games but we are definitely not in the category of most other teams. We have a below average OL and it will cost us games which is a crime because of the potential this years team had. I think we should be looking hard for a replacement for after the season. Too late to do much for this year unless we already have the replacement in house. In the last group answers are yes, yes, 0, potential win. While a couple sacks are the fault of CT most were fault of OL.
Teams win or lose as a team. Just that OL looks like a pretty weak link.

Are you actually admitting that you were part of the problem? Little wonder you defend it to the deathz. You've literally been dunked in the loyalty problem. That explains everything.
You should have stuck with being the lowly paper clipper. Again, another argument that backfires on you. Be careful what you wish for...
The two classes in which I played the biggest role produced Paul Jorgensen, Brandon Vitabile, Matt Frazier, and Geoff Mogus. Not world-beaters, but some of the better OL we've had (multi-year starters, etc.). I would put the 2010 class up against pretty much any Fitz era class in terms of contribution to the program; CJ Bryant is the only "miss" in the group. 2011 wasn't bad either.
More to the point, you literally have no idea what I contributed on a day-to-day basis. None.
Perhaps even more to the point, I still am not defending it. I've previously called for coaches' jobs and will continue to do so as I see fit. I just don't have to say it 75 times a day to feel better about myself.
What role did you play in this class? Are you trying to take credit for recruiting these guys? Sort of sounds like it, so please set me straight. What exactly was your role?
I'd like to hear it in your words. You seem willing to say so - you do tend to bring it up all the time.
And, since you tend to call everyone here who disagrees with you a know-nothing, I think it's fair to ask you exactly what you say you know. And given that you're so close with the staff, why don't you tell us all exactly how close you are and what you did for them?
This is the internet after all. Lots of people make all sorts of outrageous claims. (I, for example, invented both post-its and the question mark.)
So let's hear it. Do tell.

Yes, I played a role in recruiting those guys as a member of the NU football staff. I was one member of a very small full-time recruiting staff (one or two, depending on the year), doing everything from film review to transcript screening to planning official visits to hosting visits to giving campus tours to evaluating in camps, watching practice every day, sitting in on staff meetings, etc.
I'm not particularly close to the staff anymore having left over six years ago now, but still friendly enough that we catch up if/when our paths cross.
Didn't realize NU had All-Pro wide receivers to throw to during Siemian's college days.
Does this again raise the question of the OC not improvising a scheme to downplay the OL deficiencies ?
Don't think so. Not many plays you can call when you can't block the other side.
I can still recall the TD pass TS zinged to KC against OSU. A thing of beauty.
I can still recall all the plays Colter made behind terrible protection that nobody else on the roster could make.
In his stints at WR, he had one game where we sort of sprang it on the other teams and he did well but iin other efforts he was pretty pedestrian and didn't he get dinged up?
Persa, colter, TS all got injured. Only ones who didnt were CJ and Kafka but they still had Randy Walker OL that he recruited then developed. Hopefully CT finishes the year with 2 legs.
