I don't see anything to indicate they upgraded the OL this offseason. They shipped out their best OL in Tunsil, added a few JAGs like Trent Brown and Cam Robinson and drafted the one 2nd rounder. Probably better depth than last year but I don't see an overall improvement on the starting line unless someone improves quite a bit.
I was actually thinking Miami would be a good spot for him before the draft so I like that landing spot but damn, I did not expect him to drop so far behind guys like Mertz. He and Cam Williams should have stayed in school
Some of these GMs truly blow my mind with their decisions. Only ONE OL in the whole draft? Graham Mertz who has like a 1% chance of even making the team?
Did I miss the part of the CFB season where ISU had the best WR room in the country? I'm cool with the first one but the second one seems unnecessary after adding Christian Kirk. Should've taken like 3 OL by now
Terry Joseph really hooking up his former guys yesterday. His new team picked Banks and his cousin is the DC for the Broncos who picked his former pupil Barron.
It will be interesting to see how the Broncos use Barron with Surtain, Riley Moss and their existing young nickel.
Also, interesting note, on the ABC telecast Saban said Golden wasn't a good route runner when he got to Texas but became one here. Great recruiting material.
Kind of interesting that the staff seems to be prioritizing portal additions with multiple years of eligibility left. Mosely, Brad Spence, Kanu, Endries if it happens. They don't seem as interested in the one year rental types other than DT where they didn't have much choice.
I had a feeling ATM was going to back into a better coach if Buzz left. Was hoping he'd stay, he never worried me. Beard is a massive upgrade on the court if it happens
Miller should be an improvement over RT but it's not an exciting hire. The guy has been mediocre at best the past 6 years. He was good in his first Xavier stint and at AZ while he was paying players under the table but pretty weak since he got busted.
A little surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Eric Musselman. I know his last 2 years were weak but before that he was a top name. Not that different from Sean Miller.
Well if the typical CDC timeline holds up, this means the replacement is ready which means it's probably not someone who is still in the tourney. In other words, it's Miller time meh (unless there's an absolute stunner with Mark Few)
I am very interested to see how much Sark lets Arch use his legs vs. protecting him from hits. We know Sark wants his QBs to be pass-first and limit hits but that running ability is a major weapon. Tough balance to find there.
Why tf was he hanging out in Georgetown?
Regardless, the Chiefs are one of the teams that will slap him on the wrist and happily let him back on the field. They've proven that over and over with other guys.
Still, what a shithead if true
He said P4 coach "from last season" so there aren't many names that fit the bill. Who else besides Mack and Neal Brown? Ryan Walters is the DC at UW now.
Someone will have to explain to me how RT got such a big buyout when he probably had zero competitive offers from other schools and was clearly getting a job way above his resume. ADs have no financial sense when negotiating these things
Honest question - what was Akina's track record at Stanford and Arizona after he left Texas? I know Tacario had a good year in 2023 with Akina as Analyst and then regressed some this year. No clue beyond that. How were his Stanford secondaries?
