Allen and Smith for sure; Peas is pretty up there though. I also still have a soft spot for Sean Chambers though. He may not have worked out and he wasn't a great passer, but there's a reason he was soooo popular in the locker room (and with fans). Great personality, great team player, similar "...

Was it ever announced who called the plays during the bowl game? It was mentioned in passing by the broadcast that it was "by committee", which wouldn't be abnormal (I've seen it a few times in this kind of situation). Usually there's someone somewhat in charge though; wouldn't surprise m...

Rag thinking he's got everyone in some sort of "gotcha" as if the OC situation isn't completely different.

This is the one position where I will be up in arms about an internal hire. Sawvell was fine, and A. Bohl is a major case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Both deserve the opportunity and have good credentials. The offense, however, has been beyond broken for years....it needs fixed, ...

For what it's worth, Sawvell addressed that and said he's pretty comfortable with our RB stable/prospects. I would've like to see one, but keep in mind a lot of ATH's and DBs convert to RB. And keep in mind we do have regular signing day to come. I 'm actually pretty satisfied with this class. We ad...

I'll leave it at that and won't respond. Translation: "I'm tired of throwing whiny, pessimistic sh*t out there about literally everything the last three weeks and being nothing but critical, and then *gasp* subsequently being held responsible by everyone here for actually defending my position...

Really loading up on defense and OL. I like it so far.

Seems we've kept most of our commits and are sticking to the same tough/trench mentality that we had under Bohl.

Some adjustments to scheme and we should be pretty good, depending on who our coordinators are.

Nothing amuses me more than to watch almost the entire board pile on rag as he continues to double down endlessly.

Guess he'll eventually have to resign himself to going back to shouting nonsense into the void in the off-topic forum. Lol.

That actually makes me more concerned.

Be real embarrassing for everyone involved if we changed systems and Svoboda, for whatever reason, doesn't master it fast enough to play at a competitive level. Lol.

I mean, it is objectively odd timing. Don't have to publicly announce it (especially this early) in order to keep him from transferring; those conversations can be (and are usually) handled behind closed doors until a later date. You don't generally see coaches officially, publicly naming next year'...

This now scares me a bit for Waylee of that is the case (I’m sure he could attract big money during the spring signing period) Idk; he's been banged up a lot and that adds to his previous injury/surgery history. He also fell off hard as the year went on, even in our run-heavy offense. I'm sure ther...

ITT: People should cut their own throats out of loyalty, apparently.

I don't know how many times, and in how many different ways, we can express that "not believing that a complete blowup is necessary or smart at this point in time" is not the same thing as "being accepting of mediocrity" . As for never personally attacking people...sure, you've n...

At the end of the day, we're all going to be guilty of nothing but speculation for the next eight months...and trying to back it up with random sh*t that suits our narrative. Lol.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a thing, lmao.

So we agree? It's weird to me how much more disingenuous you get in re-characterizing or mischaracterizing your original stance and argument as this debate goes on, along with continuing to mischaracterize, misinterpret, and strawman everyone else's positions too. It's weasel-y...and personally, I'...

I would 100% have him back. I've long made my position on transfers known here, so I won't get into it too much.While there were plenty of rumours of guys being problems in the locker room that year, he was never explicitly named and we'll probably never know. At the end of the day, he was a freakis...

@ragtime Look man... For the record, I've wanted Bohl gone since 2019, and I've endured some pretty intense arguments because of that position. I'm far from apathetic. I also think that Burman has had more misses than hits in his hires and his handling of some situations. However, I also think that ...

Anything less than 6 wins destroys the false narrative of "hiring to not blow up the program". How about this: less than 6 wins and we fire Burman for blowing smoke up our ass about an internal hire? I think 6 wins is a reasonable minimum for year one, yea. Less than that is a large enoug...

His base pay starts at almost a quarter mil higher than what you wanted, putting him just barely shy of what both Hoke and Anderson (two far more experienced and qualified coaches further into their contracts) made. You, on the other hand, wanted to pay him less than what even Wilson made. Don't hur...

Well, 1 thing about it, we'll know by this time next year. No first year coach excuse bs. He doesn't get that leash as an internal hire. It will be different that is for sure. If Bohl were staying....which most of us thought was going to happen, what were anybody's way too early prediction? Bohl so...
