  1. If you're going to hire a guy and demand he embrace your university culture, clearly the right guy is Jerry Kill That's a hell of an afghan.
  2. I guess no one has bothered to look up Saban's inaugural staff which includes Bo Davis, Cignetti, Smart, etc. The only supporting data point is Major Applewhite v Colin Klein
  3. My man. Lincoln Riley did y'all dirty, I agree. Venables was handed a tough situation. But, at some point, Venables becomes accountable for his roster. Wouldn't you agree that he and Lebby have mismanaged the QB room? To what extent do you hold them accountable for *literally* playing games without a viable player at the position? If you want to pin that all on Riley, be my guest. He's a fucking loser. I don't pin it on Riley. The rape enabling fuck in StarkVegas and generally affable first time head coach did that.
  4. You are 1000% correct in every post you've made on Casey Thompson and his potential to serve as QB2 at blOU. He's a better option than currently exists on your roster and will keep the Sooner Schooner afloat* in the face of abject disaster. And what an indictment of the program that is. *
  5. I did a bit of research on current LB position coaches with well developed units and up and coming DCs in g5/d2 and I'm more convinced now that it'll be an unexpected hire. Findings, mostly irrelevant: Guess who FSU's LB coach is? Randy Shannon. Well regarded UAB DC David Reeves walked away from CFB last offseason to take HC at Alabama 5A Jasper High School. Weird. Lebby hired 35yo and well regarded Chris Marve for DC/LB at 850k/yr. Boy, would it be fun to fuck with Lebby's first staff. Speaking of SCSU, Jonathan Saxon would be interesting. He came up under the tutelage of one *checks notes* Charlie Strong at Louisville. Bob Gregory, the last guy to coach Linebackers on the same staff as PK not named Choate, is the ST coach at Stanford. This path seems like a likely one. Former Bill Snyder LB, Hansen Sekona (poly ties are strong with this one) was a GA helping with LBs under PK at UW. Is now the DC at San Mateo College.
  6. Really enjoying the cognitive dissonance in aggy perpetually laughing at the sips for perceived culture rot and entitlement while claiming they're entitled to a $70+M coaching change to immediately fix their culture rot
  7. I understand why you think this, but it's not true. Meet Adam Weitzman, the NFT loving, crypto mining billionaire and self-proclaimed "Scrap Metal King", responsible for funding most of SU's NIL efforts Weitzman's is a prison to prosperity story, and despite the fact he's an alum of LIU, has spent significant personal capital in promoting SU athletics to potential transfers and recruits including two $1M endorsements for 5* recruits, one women's sports, one for men's. Initially, it was all splash marketing oriented and when the legality of it was questioned, he hired Darren Heitner, prominent NIL attorney, to advise. There was a very public falling out with SU administration this year after Ruiz's Miami efforts were "investigated" by the NCAA and SU told Weitsman to chill out with the publicity. Despite this public divorce, he's ramped up his support to not only contribute significant capital toward their relaunched collective, Orange United, but Weitsman also hand picked half of it's board and leadership. Now that he's back in the fold (although, there's some thought the divorce was a rouse to avoid the investigation that Ruiz found himself in), SU's collective is in better shape than most, almost certainly better than the rest of the ACC, and are going to let Fran Brown go nuts in the portal and in '25.
  8. JFC McCree was actually committed. TommyGufano was correct. Banks loved him, we heard about him for a short period, Ketch futurecasted him to Texas, and he committed to blOU within seconds. /fin
  9. Elko is efforting to flip Lagway, apparently. He's doing us a solid if Lagway sticks at double the price leaving UF too poor for Robinson and Gibson.
  10. The Manning's picked Texas because they believe in Sark. They did not pick Saban, they did not pick Kirby/Monken/Bobo, they did not pick Mario fucking Cristobal, they picked Sark. That doesn't somehow change when Arch's path to playing time does. If he left for another major program because that extra year is a really big deal to them, he'd be: Playing for a coach the family has either already decided against or never considered Competing for a starting job. He has a qtr of game film against a tech team that had a foot on the bus. No major program is going to guarantee a starting job, at least not one the Manning's would trust (see Cristobal). So, how different would competing for McCord's job be from what he'd be doing here? Intentionally creating media hysteria and unrealistic expectations - again, this is antithetical to what we've seen. Anything is possible - I don't see it happening.
  11. Sark uses the H/TE2 as a blocker first, route runner second, and receiver third. I'm perfectly happy with Helm in that role for the foreseeable future, and that's his ideal fit imo. Who plays Y is the harder question to answer, and idk that there's one on our roster right now. Maybe Shannon can catch? Probably not.
  12. They should be fawning all over His Whiteness, the Aryan ignoramus.
