If there’s going to be a major overhaul, it makes much more sense to let Scalley take over at the end of the season with Whitt in a consultant role. Utah did this for Scalley after John Pease left for and for Brian Johnson after Norm Chow left.

Such a good point SteelUte! Does college football and bball each need a general manager to manage the financial side of the teams so that the head Coach can focus on football?

Exactly, Tony!

Why are people so rude to others on this forum to people who have a different opinion? I’ve said this before, if we all thought the same, this forum would be very boring. Why take the time to write that a post is ridiculous when you can just turn the page or ignore it? Why attack the poster? If you’re going to write something rude, “step away”.

NIL is an issue for all teams, but I believe some teams are more equipped than others to handle poorly appropriated NIL money, (i.e. players that were promised big $ but don’t pan out). I honestly don’t think it can go on much longer the way it is currently constructed. I would also venture a guess that half of the BIG and SEC cannot continue…[Read more]

I would prefer to get someone from the transfer portal who has more eligibility and is not made of glass.

I believe college athletes are only required to report their NIL deals to their schools and it appears that Isaac’s NIL deals have not been disclosed to the public. Does anyone have an inside source on this?

If I had to guess teams with above average NIL money, may find themselves struggling with this problem more than teams with less money to work with because of the locker room rifts the disparity of NIL money is causing.

Examples:

Utah
Oklahoma State
UCLA
Florida State
Arkansas
Iowa
Wisconsin
TCU

To answer your question DataUte, this would need to be a breakaway semi-pro league. I know that nobody wants that, but we are already there. We are a semi pro league living in anarchy. A semi-pro league with guidelines would be much better than what we have now.

Whittingham is a good coach. There’s no denying that. There is also no denying that his offensive struggles have been as consistent as his defensive successes. Although we were lucky to have him and he was the right coach at the time, I’m ready to move on from his ultra conservative style. Perhaps I will eat my words, but no guts, no glory.

I don’t want anybody from this offensive staff to stay on. I’m so tired of boring offenses. Many times the offense is so offensive that it feels like we lost the game even when we win the game.

As mentioned above, many of those have been transfer RB’s. I’m talking about recruits. Yes, it is not likely that we will be able to recruit a stacked RB room like your list, but we should have a highly ranked RB in every recruiting class, or at least every other recruiting class. Yes other schools are recruiting, but most schools are pass…[Read more]

The biggest quandaries for me are:

1. Given our physical pound it down your throat system, why are we recruiting so many scat backs?

2. Given the style of offense, it seems as if it should be an easy sell to bring in top rated running backs every year. I’m a little surprised we haven’t pulled a off a 5* running back yet.

I’m not a doctor, but this makes sense to me, (found it online, so it must be true):

“It is possible for an athlete to gain so much muscle mass that the torque generated by those muscles exceeds the capacity of their tendons to handle, potentially leading to tendon injuries, especially if muscle growth outpaces the adaptation of the tendons to…[Read more]

Our defense has kept us in games but here’s why I’m concerned about Scalley:

1. Defense has been pretty good but has regressed quite a bit the last two years.

2. We have been having major problems tackling 3 of the last four years. Remember Florida in Gainesville + last year + this year.

3. Major problems with over pursuing on rush defense.…[Read more]

Whittingham has done a lot of great things and deserves praise, his defensive player development and positioning is off the charts. My biggest problem with Whittingham is that ever since he became coach we have sacrificed offense for defense, including moving our most athletic players to defense. This creates three problems:

1. You create an…[Read more]
