You’re just going to keep coming over here to chirp huh? As i keep telling you, Ruffins 2015 recruiting class had THREE GUYS finish their four years of eligibility and make any kind of impact on the field. And the 2014 class wasn’t much better. That’s disqualifying from the jump. Idk if Scotty Mo was a good coach but i do know Ruffin left him with next to nothing to work with, unlike Satterfield. No thanks.ECU wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 11:13 amThat's fake news as I illustrated prior. Scottie Mo owns nearly all of the terribleness because he's a terrible coach. He couldn't even get decent production out of a Gardner Minshew that left and won the freaking Unitus award so how are you going to blame Ruff for how any of they looked under him. Most players that left did so because they thought Ruff was screwed over as he was.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 7:36 amThat’s the reason you’d like him to be the new coach? We’re really setting a low bar here. Ruffin played a huge hand in ECU going 14-34 the last 4 years, but he was an App DC for 3 years so...appgrad wrote: ↑Sun Dec 09, 2018 10:19 pmYeah… Can’t imagine why we would want to hire a guy who had the foresight to pluck an obscure assistant off of Texas Tech’s staff, who then turns into a coaching superstar.

At this point the success he had ECU can be attributed to Lincoln Riley right?
Ruff also played a huge hand in where Oklahoma is right now. Who was the first person Riley called up to be his Associate Head Coach and work as his right hand man and help guide him his first year? It's not like he called him in from Western Carolina either he was the top assistant at Virginia. Who did he turn too when he felt like he had to make a bold defensive firing early in the year to run his Defense and where did it get them? He's been a great asset to Oklahoma just as he was to Texas Tech.
The TT guys told us that Ruff handled nearly all the motivational pre game speaches and discipline stuff for Leach, and Leach just focused on the Offense because he wasn't into that. I would imagine Riley has leaned on him heavily beyond what is clear. He also has a Air Raid Rolodex of quality coaches to run it and a good eye and was clearly committed to it.
Also, i don’t know if you noticed man by Oklahoma’s defense is TERRIBLE. And got WORSE since Ruffin took it over. Not surprising though since his defense was absolutely horrific at ECU as well.
