I don’t think it is intellectually honest to say his hands are tied in this respect. That implies that he didn’t have any control over the matter, and he absolutely did.

He could have gone after a big back in the portal, and he instead went after Woods, who is not big, is not physical, and would not have helped in that regard, even if he wasn’t hurt.

No clue. My father talks with him a couple times a year but they don’t talk football. My guess is yes, but my guess is no better than anyone else’s. We know him as a friend, not a football coach.

He doesn’t hate the fans, he just hates interacting with them. It isn’t the one on one interactions he hates, it is the “elbow rubbing” and such with the donors that he really doesn’t like. He’ll do anything to help out the little guy… but the only things he really cares about relating to his job are the success of his players on and of the…[Read more]

All brakes bajakian

More licking will surely result in better team chemistry.

Bajakian is not really the new OC. He’s just a stopgap.

I don’t anticipate much will change this year. How could it?

Ludwig did fine for a few years. Better than fine actually, but he’s done.

I would still be having this conversation. This isn’t a conversation about the RB room in general. This is a conversation about HIGH SCHOOL RB recruiting not being good enough. Jackson’s presence on our team doesn’t change that, he was a transfer, and he was a QB recruit.

Did you even read my post? WTF do Gordon, Jeanty, Johnson, or Skattebo have to do with this? The only RB I even mentioned was the one that plays for Utah State. Booker, Thomas, White, and Jackson don’t factor into this conversation in the slightest. They are all transfers. This is about HIGH SCHOOL (that’s the one that comes before college, you…[Read more]

We have to have enough NIL money to get 1 really good back. I just have to believe that $ is out there somewhere. If it isn’t, we are screwed as a program.

A lot of talent? Nah. A lot of 4 star guys that should not have been 4 star guys IMO. Glover is one of the worst running backs I’ve ever seen in college. Randle was so bad that he couldn’t beat out Glover and was moved to DB. Stanley has only been used for one thing effectively, everything else they’ve tried with him has been a failure.

That list…[Read more]

It remains to be seen whether Ganther has it or not. Kind of seems like not at this point, but the jury is still out on most of his guys. Give him another year to figure it out.

do you disagree with anything I said? If so, please share.

My post wasn’t about the staff’s ability to pull rabbits out of the hat and cobble together serviceable RB rooms. My post was about HS RB recruiting failures. I’m not arguing that our running game has been bad (it has been good enough, but not much beyond that). I’m simply stating that I think it is crazy that we haven’t done a better job of…[Read more]

Ok, thanks for clarifying

Yeah, but I think they would all trade fan empathy for the $ in a heartbeat. They would be stupid not to.

Me not feeling bad doesn’t mean I wish injury on him, or that I don’t care that he is hurt. I just look at things differently. On the whole, he is a fortunate guy.
