Epley's comments on Talent

[In the Deed the Glory]

It’s still maddening that a guy in his 60’s who has been coaching for decades was constantly arguing he needed more time. Diaco sounded like he had developed a drug problem. Cavanaugh sounded like he was poorly cast as an offensive line coach and is better suited to be a short order cook at a Waffle House. Lee is some combination of colorblind and near-sighted and yet he was still the starter. Players weren’t being developed or even required to work out.

Frost’s first attempt to put the team through an actual college football workout almost killed two of our players.

Let that sink in. That’s how bad Riley let things get here.

So more time for what exactly?

I’ve gone from seeing Riley as a kind of lovable and clueless loser who was doing his best to having far more contempt for him, his coaching, and his methods. We brought kids here to play big-time college football and Riley screwed them big-time. 

I went from laughing in the first paragraph, to dumbfounded with the bolded, to angry after I took the advice of the third point....and then feeling sad for first Riley and then lastly, the players as I finished reading.

I mean the entire gamut of emotions in that post, guys.  This really needs more +1s.  It is a hall of fame post.

We have 3 NFL caliber athletes, 7 above average, a significant number average, and around 20 walk on caliber.

I cant link via mobile. I read the Journal Star article, OWH has one too.

Epley says Phillips is doing best he can but we need 1.5 years to get the talent we need.

I wonder what Epley would have to say about this now.....

Since you brought it up...F Scott Frost. If I never see that guy again it'll be too soon.

In the end it turned out Frost was just an extremely neglectful football coach, and it wasn't anybody fault but his own.

Everyone blames Riley for the S&C program issues but it was Epley that caused the problems.  He made life very difficult for Philipp and Riley when it came to the S&C program.
