That is an amazing stat. Hutch leads all rookies with 6 in 659 snaps. If we gave Houston all of Hutch’s playing time he would have 116 sacks. Fire DC!! He’s had bad clock management and cost us 110 sacks at only one position. We could be 12 - 0 at this point.
I doubt he would have 116 sacks. At least 1 of those would have been called back for roughing the passer vs the Cowboys and another 1 would have been called back for illegal contact downfield vs the Packers. So 114 would be tops right now.
Yea, that’s what I was thinking too. What about all those players he recruited and got to go to Jackson state that pretty much went there because he’s Deion.
In the end, it’s all about money, his new contract will pay him 5.9 mill per season over the next 5 years.
Deion did more for HBCU football than most people in the last 5 decades. He put Jackson State on the map, ESPN GameDay came to the campus and he’s leaving the program in a 10x better situation than they were in previously. He not only improved the facilities at JSU, he helped to get funding to upgrade facilities for other HBCU’s. Jackson State is now “primed” and ready to hire its next head coach, for a job that is now significantly more desireable than when he got there.
If someone thinks he can’t champion the HBCU cause without being the head coach at a HBCU…they need to go get a head coaching job at a HBCU. Brad Holmes can support HBCU’s while being the GM of the LIons. He doesn’t have to be the AD at one. The difference is Deion actually did it. He didn’t just talk it. And now people want to talk shit like doing it and leaving it better than he found it is less than never doing it a all. Bullshit.
I agree with everything you said, deion is just a lightning rod and with that will come both criticism and praise. I am not the biggest fan of his but not going to argue the guy didnt do good for hbcu or that he doesnt support it just because he made a career focused move.
They have announced they are changing transfer rules and also their NIL program. Deion has already got them making changes others couldn’t and his presence will be excellent for recruiting, may take a minute but he will get there.
Then…
on to FSU.
I said no such things, other than he chose to leave. I don’t expect any Deion bump to last that long though. His pull was strong but his legend is not such that his ghost can do the same thing. We’ll probably see his top recruits jump to his new team.
Are you allowed to hit a QB anywhere though!? High is no good, low is no good. Maybe you can tickle him to the ground!? Looked like Houston was being pushed by the tackle to me.
