Confidence not high with Spindler.

I hinted at this a month ago on here, but since things have changed a little I will just flat out explained what happened.


I posted on here “something happened” with Spindler & ND. What happened was he told ND he was coming. But he still wanted to take his five OVs if/when they were allowed to happen. ND accepted this.
Over the past month PSU has really came on strong, passing Michigan up & closing in on ND.
ND is the leader still, then PSU, then UM. But he did halfway silent to ND about 6 weeks ago with the agreement he would still do OVs later.

Sure.


First, ND.
His father was recruited by Holtz in the 80’s & they had a great relationship. Then on a random chance, Spindler’s family & Holtz were at an event in Mexico together. Holtz spent a little time with Rocco talking recruiting & life decisions. It was the same talk Holtz had with his father. Rocco’s dad was immediately sold. Rocco also was sold.
Then Rocco contacted Quentin Nelson. And I don’t care who you are a fan of, Nelson is a bad mofo. Spindler is a LG. Nelson is a LG. Nelson talked to Rocco at length about ND & being an AA in college & All Pro as a rookie in the NFL.
Rocco wants to be the next Nelson.

Next, PSU.

The one position in football that players want to play with other greats is OL. PSU already got Tengwall & is the leader for Rucci. Rocco wants to play on a dominant OL. That’s how PSU closed the distance on ND, by landing Tengwall & probably getting Rucci. ND has Fisher, but missed on Milum & Johnson. So ND’s OL class in 2021 is weak compared to what PSU can get.

People won’t be happy to hear this on here, but Rocco’s only plus to UM is legacy & location. He likes other schools & coaches more.

Is that 'momentarily' because he's going to flip ?

Who would hire an average to above average Colllege HC as an NFL HC?

Never underestimate the incompetence of NFL owners and their love of recycling the same names over and over and over again.

See, I initially thought the opposite. I thought with the steady roster turnover of cfb, he would be less likely to have players burn out on his tactics and be less likely to lose a locker room.

But I don't think it matters. The manic, singularly driven psycho coach Jimbo was is gone. Nobody can convince me he isn't medicated. He seemed to flip from having one or two sideline tantrums every single week to a dead eyed borderline vegitable almost overnight. Something happened to him after The Game in 2016 when his antics cost them.

Now, in 2020, he's a below average coach that seems disinterested, disorganized and doesn't care to put much effort in to recruiting.

If you reverse the medication, I think you're right that he's better able to hold onto locker room compared to NFL.
But I think it also doesn't matter, once the media hype wore off his personality was never going to recruit well or be able to hold onto good assistants.

Hard to miss when you can't catch them.
