Jesse Palmer Quote re Mattison on CFL

I'd assumed that Mattison's name would carry weight but his enthusiasm for recruiting would be modest, and perhaps his one weakness.  Very happy to be wrong.  I like the words coming out of Jesse Palmer's mouth.

convince diabetics to sign up for a cake eating contest...

I can't put Jesse Palmer and CFL together and NOT think that CFL is the Canadian Football League.

well then.  get to work, greg.

Those quotes are bonerific.

That was one thing I was wondering about Mattison, if he would still have that urge to recruit after being in the NFL for a while. Good to hear he was such a beast back when he was still in college. After he shakes off some rust, I am sure he will be back kicking tail. Plus the whole "I coached the Ravens D" thing should be quite helpful...

Kind of nice to hear some positive things about Michigan again. I was a RR supporter but after seeing events transpire over the past week, this was probably the best move for both parties. Bank the scholarships this year because next year we are going to fuck shit up.

ESPN CFL's just blew him for twenty minutes. I hope every Defensive recruit in the country was watching.

Is not the first person to say that.  Everyone says Mattison is an awesome recruiter.  

If he even closes in on one or two DE/DL this year, I think he will prove it. 

I take anything Jesse Palmer with a grain of salt. I mean he was on the Bachelor

convince Yankee fans to cheer for the Red Sox.

I wish I was this excited for the HC hire, but I'm really warming to the new regime. Mattison sounds exactly like  what this program needs. GO BLUE!

My #1 concern was recruiting with Mattison. I was terrified we had another Gerg who was old and just sat home without recruiting! To hear this makes me BEYOND excited, great X's & O's coach combined with badass recruiter = Extreme Jubilation.

I'm becoming overwhelmed with positivity with our program...Me Likey!

Proven track record, excellent recruiter, Michigan ties, bald, so he's basically the anti-GERG. Excellent.

I didn't see his tenure at the University Offal Ifful on his resume.  Weird.

Jesse Palmer looks phenomenal.  In all seriousness Mattison is amazing and It's been longer than 4 hours, but I am not going to see a doctor.

From 2006...he's credited with the commitment of St. Tim Tebow.  FWIW, so was Dan Mullen...but hey, if he was even partially responsible for Timmy coming to Florida, then that works for me.  As far as I remember, Tebow was more of a Bama lean until late in the process...It's now closing time Mattison.  Go get em.

I heard that they use his foreskin to cover yankee stadiums infield when it rains. ;)

what Prescott Burgess says about him? he's still in Baltimore, right?

Both told me greg mattison is not a good recruiter, he's not a great recruiter, he's legendary. Urban meyer told my best friend, stop, study and watch greg mattison learn how to recruit.

Someone must have told Jesse Palmer to stop, study and watch Fred Jackson to learn how to gush accolades.  I love me some Fred Jackson hyperbole.

Looks like a good hire. Now let's hope he's up for some speed recruiting.

Cool beans, I like what I hear. Mattison's gonna do great things for us. Besides, any friend of Desmond's is a friend of mine.

His ability to recruit a damn good hair stylist that is. I still have no idea if he ever talked to any football recruit.

"but..but He is told old to recruit."  lol  Awesome, can't wait to see what he can do.

He's working in the Legends division! I can see the commercials now... Ugh

wait.  are we talking about greg mattison or bill brashky?

With Mattison?? he had a full cup of liquid LSD with his eggs, passed out, woke up three months later, rubbed his eyes and said, "all in all i prefer whiskey"

But here's what Bob Davie had to say about Greg Mattison...

is seems like when RR got fired evrybody was sayin "the future of the program is a mystery" and "they don't know what their doing right now, someone needs to save them". It's good to hear someone praising them for a change, but we won't accept the bandwagoners

I am excited for Mattison to start doing some work!

A lot of this whole process has made me upset, but this is some serious salve.

Let's wait to see if he can turn water into wine wiith this D.

Holy Fuck - we will win.

Holy Fuck - we will win.

The CFL is an awesome league.  If you can coach D there, you can coach anywhere.
