Chalk Talk

Anyone going to hear aww shucks?

Have attended everyone of these events and it is very nice…but there is no way in hell I am attending it this year. Once Judy is gone and a competent replacement is hired I will come back.

I haven’t attended any of these, but IF she’s gone I will go. Regardless of our feelings on Brad and his return next season, if she’s gone we all need to support him and the team. New AD means we all put on green tinted glasses. New AD is going to need all the help they can get rallying this fanbase.

If you go and question our recruiting tactics, be prepared to be told that you have no idea what you’re talking about. The coaches are taking all of this very personal.

need to make sure the hudl server isn’t going through maintenance that night for when we play videos of recruits.

Good, I take my failures personal as well. They have to be expecting it to be brought up, just as if Judy is there she has to expect question(s) to be asked about the under-performance of the athletic department. Unless they plan on not taking questions this year?

Pretty sure I will be there but will know for certain in a couple of weeks.

fire judy
fire lambert

then I am not only in for this event… and in for season tix both sports.

49ers better start looking at macro vs micro or their won’t be a team 10 years from now.

I’m curious about what the format change is going to be. At this point, it’d be a smart idea to eliminate the Q&A.

Brad “no other offers” Lambert mad?

Anyone attend with a recap?

This guy was live tweeting.

You used to be able to raise your hand to ask a question. Now you have to right it down. I knew it was a scam. I wrote, is not recruiting local kids, angering HS coaches, & not recruiting Memphis QB Riley Ferguson what led to the 1-11 collapse? Their edited question, Coach, I know you touched on this earlier, but isn’t it hard to recruit locally with bigger schools stealing kids? No, that’s not what the hell I asked.

Forcing us to do a standing ovation for Judy? The person who ruined FB & MBB. WTH?

So the Gold Dusters have to do a GoFundMe to go to dance finals in FL. Since they help w/ FB & MBB that make $, why isn’t the AD Office paying for it?

Asking us to buy tickets for vets to go to games. Doesn’t the AD have $ to give vets free tix?

Three cheerleaders & three Gold Dusters standing around while we eat. I asked them if they were going to eat, they weren’t allowed. Crock of sh*t. Make those poor girls watch us eat while they starve? Maybe they let them eat after we left, but the food would be cold by then. If AD staff & FB staff can eat, why not the girls helping out?

So we are in for the same ole shit. Only now, the coaches seem pissed off that we have the audacity to question their bullshit? And forcing everyone to stand for a standing ovation for Judy?

All the more reason to fire Brad. What a crock.

Little confused. How is one forced to give someone a standing ovation?

My honest thoughts:

This was a down year for the area of Charlotte football recruiting in general. By my count, there were only 4 kids in mecklenburg county that went G5. Two went to Army, one went to Colorado State, one went to ECU. In my opinion, that signals that we lost out on one kid. CSU and Army offer things we simply can’t to a mecklenburg county kid.

Our staff are regulars in local high schools, despite common sentiment.

If we are recruiting fearing coastal and liberty, it doesn’t matter if Brad Lambert goes to every high school in America every day.

If Brad stays or goes, it is clear that our staff needs some swagger again. Some Phil Ratliff, Napoleon Sykes, Aaron Curry swagger. I think we have a lot of nice, hardworking people on our staff. I do believe we have lost some of that edge. I think the guys in those chairs would tell you that.

If we get a new coach, we have to have the mindset that we shouldn’t just be winning in CUSA, we need to be competing with the big boys. I don’t know if our current staff views us in that light. I think many of them would tell us that we are being irrational. I don’t think Lane Kiffin thinks that way though.

As for this season: With good quarterback play, regardless of who it comes from, we are going to be better in '18. This is also our best schedule yet. We went into last spring with 60 guys on the roster. We have 90 this spring. I absolutely loved hearing that Brady is going to be attending spring practice. This is going to make every practice rep more meaningful, and competition breeds success. I do like some of the pieces in this class. That redshirt class was talented. This place is ripe for a grad transfer quarterback. If I’m honest with you guys too, I really like Brady Pope. I think he may walk in here, and take it over provided we don’t get a graduate.

Finally, this new offensive scheme is going to pay dividends across the board. I loved the tape I saw of what montgomery ran at Youngstown. The best part is, he never really had a great quarterback. The simple nature of taking a little more time off the clock each drive is going to assist our defense. 3 and outs suck, but they suck more when you only take 11 seconds off the clock. The things we are going to ask our lineman to do are much more technique based, and they aren’t going to have to “run track.” I look for much more deliberate play calling and game planning rather than reacting to a particular defensive look. It all depends on QB play though.

I never expect 4-5 star ACC SEC talent to ink here. Ever

What is not tolerable is signing half our class who have no offers and no stsrs, MEANWHILE our peer level non P5 competition get multiple 2-3 star kids locally.

In business this is called market share. If the 49ers ran a market share report we are getting our ass handed to us in revenue sports. Heads roll in real world when this happens.

This is the same group who asked for a round of applause for Alan Major at press conference announcing Mark Price. Not surprised at the standing o for Judy. Get ready for much more of that between now and June 30.

Also, sounds like we need to start another hashtag movement: #LetTheGolddustersAndCheerleadersEatWithTheRestOfUs
