  1. I feel like people underrate the difficulty of being a full-time OC in game while also being head coach. As a standalone OC, you can spend every timeout and defensive possession reviewing clips, thinking about the next drive, talking to players, etc. As HC, you spend that time focused on the defense, special teams and time mgmt. You don't have "free time" to look at clips from previous drives or think about what the offense will do next. Point being - I'm pretty sure Sark can make adjustments as an OC, but does he have the time to figure out what those adjustments should be while also doing HC duties? Probably not. Maybe that's why a playcaller hasn't won a championship in so long..
  2. So to recap: 1. People are already signing rev share agreements even though it hasn't been passed and the DOE is saying Title IX applies 2. It was a multi-year rev share agreement 3. Anyone can leave anytime they want Got it, cool. Seems healthy.
  3. Wait, they don't? Then wtf was all this transfer shit about all these years?
  4. Seems like the disconnect is the DOE is treating this as student financial aid, to which Title IX applies, when pragmatically-speaking they're really just employees being paid according to their value. Schools can pay teachers, chancellors, or Ministers of Culture whatever they want in order to benefit the university, but no, these athletes are just simple students getting financial benefit for attending the university and none should be treated differently. Lol If this sticks, seems like it would mean fewer schools max out their rev share cap (bc of all the negative financial-return $ required to be spent on women's sports) and collectives will continue to be a big source of NIL (to get around Title IX). It's yet another stupid twist in this whole NIL saga. Just make it a minor-league NFL already because that's clearly the only place this can end up.
  5. For some reason I thought Juan had another year left. Who was the genius that played him in 5 games his first year burning his redshirt..
  6. Historically Sark has been aggressive at portal WR but who knows now. Maybe not. AD was good. Golden was average at first but great in the second half. Bond was the reverse - started strong then disappeared. Bolden and Neyor didn't really get much chance because of depth chart and injury but I'd say Bolden did his part. Agiye was a flyer that failed. Overall though that list was pretty crucial to the team the last couple years.
  7. So seems like biggest spring portal wants are DT, K, TE, WR imo. WR or TE would've been nice to have for spring practice but oh well. And maybe shore up the OL or secondary opportunistically. I feel like spring portal could get wild depending on all this regulatory stuff with Title IX and the House Settlement. If schools have been making deals with the expectation of revenue sharing budget and that number gets lowered or delayed by the gov't, there could be chaos due to unfulfilled promises. Who knows what will happen though..
  8. How many NIL promises were made this winter under the assumption football would be getting the bulk of rev share? If this holds up, some schools are gonna be so fucked
  9. What do we think about the two PSU WRs in the portal, Omari Evans and Harrison Wallace? Yeah I know they struggled vs ND but decent overall production in the Big 10 on an iffy passing offense.
  10. Wouldn't it be nice to have a donor whose funds were dedicated to revenge tampering lol? Like if tOSU tampers MM away, we go offer Downs a big deal. Assuming they match, you offer Jeremiah Smith a big deal. And keep going down the list to make them feel some pain. Even if you don't get anyone from them, just make them pay a little extra for their own retention. Maybe that keeps them from tampering with us as much in the future.
  11. Speedster from Killeen. 19 yards per catch this year. Go get him Sark
  12. Important to remember that every departure theoretically frees up budget money to be used elsewhere. So these "losses" may end up being more like trades for other portal prospects TBD. The unfortunate part is that we're so late to the winter portal party bc of the playoffs that no one is really available until spring.
  13. I don't know if that was his plan but making a playoff run complicated things. Until now he didn't know who would be staying/leaving and how much they'd cost. Now the winter portal is closed and the good players are taken so there isn't really a choice. If not for playoff timing, I think it would be dumb to focus on spring portal. You want guys here for spring practice.
  14. Wow that's saying a lot coming from one of the biggest mainstream draft guys
  15. MM's cousin got an Oregon bag and MM has been openly talking about getting paid for a while now. He's gotta be one of the concerns. Hopefully it's not too late to get back in on Thaddeus Dixon (UW CB). Has Tacario signed? Simmons was my other biggest worry but hopefully IT is right about him being locked in.
  16. and Muhammad. Simmons and Hill probably worry me the most. Obv Arch but I doubt he leaves.
  17. He was the odds-on favorite at Betonline earlier today. Now he's been slightly passed by...wait for it..Jason Witten LOL Kellen seems like a sensible choice though actually
  18. This thread is such a beating that no one even bothered to ask or tell what this actual transfer update says
  19. What are the chances of Jerry convincing Belichick to ditch UNC?
  20. Also they tried to get tricky doing a rush up to the line and immediate snap. QB sneak/push is a skill and Arch needs to develop it but I agree it needs to be used more. It should be an automatic 1-2 yards with him. Idk how you practice that though if the QB can't get touched. The between the legs direct snap is a great way to keep defenses a little honest for it too.
