Jordan Seaton Appreciation Thread
- Thread starter Hank
- Start date
Damn. Seaton was expected, Cleveland is a pleasant surprise.
he might have more starts at center than all other true frosh combined.
Walk-on Freshman All-American. Got to love it!
Xavier Payne via Scott Procter after his visit.
Seaton is going to be a guy the pros love.
He is already better than most of the guys out there but he doesn't act like it, he acts like a guy who still needs to prove it.
He is also a guy who is going to be a locker room leader, hard worker, wants to learn and get better, great attitude, and still a guy that other players like. These are the kinds of players a team builds their culture around.
Prime treats his pros like pros. He would allow Seaton to fire Shurmur, personally, before allowing anyone to put him in a doghouse.
100%. Seat owns his own house. No dog house.
Shurmur better figure out the game plan ASAP.
If the offense is lackluster these next three weeks, even if they win, I wonder if he Sean Lewises Pat Shurmur with Byron Leftwich.

We have no “plan” on offense.
Nothing is used to set up anything else.
Like…GT is very clearly a power spread option team
They are going to run, and unless they are behind the sticks, when they pass, they’re going to make it look like a run.
Shamir just calls random plays
Thats
That’s the kind way to put it. Let’s hope it’s random plays he’s calling. That’s better than the alternative.
No need to wonder. It’ll happen.
I’d be concerned that would make the position completely blacklisted if he does it a second time.
Usually it would. I think the Prime factor would make it less so. If Leftwiich or whoever gets the job has success then there will be no shortage of people who want to follow.
I’m pretty sure it kind of already is blacklisted after the one. They did an entire search and then ended up sticking with Shurmer. To me that seems like they didn’t have a ton of interest from good candidates
But the position is a year to year position at every program anyways. Produce and get elevated or you get fired.
Prime also isn't looking for career college coaches. He favors coaches with pro backgrounds. Pro coaches (and players) are used to the idea of no guarantees, no security, past the current week. Players get cut, players get traded, players get benched, coaches get fired. It's not even what have you done lately, it's what can you do for me right now.
Prime has also shown that he is willing to give opportunities to coach to guys who have never coached that position with the expectation that they will perform.
I do think Prime has respect for Pat and his long tenure and isn’t likely to fire him. I do think he could ask that he hands over playcalling duties at some point if things don’t improve.
Agree completely. I think Prime appreciates Pat's knowledge of the game. Some coaches are was better during the week than they are on game day. Shurmur has always been respected preparing his team but boring and predictable calling games. Prime has to know somebody who can make better use of the available talent.
I don’t think the year to year thing holds people back. But I think candidates would be hesitant about a position where the coach has shown a propensity to strip you of duties mid season.
Is he really only a sophomore? He has so much football wisdom already and is very level-headed. CP's hit grand slams on the recruiting trail with Travis Hunter and Seaton.

He didn't say anything that wasn't true imho.
