Refried Beans 1,490 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Fontenot and Smith are great hires. It wouldnt be fair for me to always be negative about our front office and not give them kudos when they did something right. Arthur Smith and Terry Fontenot are something right! Great job.

falcndave 4,880 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm going to start off where I started off with Dan Quinn...on the fence. I like good 'ole fashioned smash mouth football. That said, we don't have a read option QB on the roster and Derrick Henry will not be smashing down the door at Flowery Branch. Don't misread this to say I'm upset. I just see this as a situation that could go either way. AS was, very marginally, my pick of the many guys I am not thrilled with for one reason or another at HC. I don't pretend to know enough about front office things to offer an opinion on Fontenot. Dukeduke211 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HASHBROWN3 17,752 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Cautiously optimistic. Very hopeful indeed. He'd be an excellent hire. PokerSteve, Refried Beans and Herr Doktor 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Doktor 8,278 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'd like to say I am super excited. But, I guess I am always on the fence just a bit. Not negative, not positive but willing to give the benefit of the doubt. My knowledge of either man is minimal. don l, octoslash and Tandy 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

booty-mane 96 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm excited for change that's coming. I'm hopeful for the results and don't want to get too ahead of myself emotionally. Let's see how things unpack. Just to want to see us get a ring and that too with MR2 and JJ. Refried Beans, Herr Doktor and GATXBOI 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't pretend to know enough about front office things to offer an opinion on Fontenot. I've been looking at the running backs in the draft. There are a few that look really good. I'm thinking Kylin Hill might be picked up in the 3rd or 4th round - not super speedy, but for those short yardage and goal line situations or for holding on to a lead - and to break down defenses and for receiving (he excels at receiving too) - he might be worth looking at for us. There are actually several good options in the draft. PokerSteve and falcndave 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Da_Truth 1,927 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm excited about someone other than Dimitroff running the draft ZoneOne01, Dr Long Shot and Tmodel66 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Herr Doktor 8,278 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm kind of hoping Ollison might still develop into our short yardage back. Maybe a scheme change helps him. Tandy, marvinthemartian and RetroRoq 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmo_dlo 2,499 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Two questions on Fontenot: - Is he gonna pull a Parcells? - Is he willing to say F$&@ the aints? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats the 64K question really bro. Another back won't kill us for sure. But Ollison just evaporated. All I can figure is he practiced poorly or had handle problems.

That looms as either conflicts with the coaches, poor practices like you said or personal issues off the field. It was a head shaker. Herr Doktor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
