The Miami Ute

I have heard some rumors but don’t wish to repeat them. They are different than those ones. I trust the source of mine. But it kind of confirms the difference when Rose, and Bottari come in and move the ball. Players look more energetic.

Wilson’s last game he was holding on wayyyy too long. Maybe he is that kind of QB. Makes like one bri…[Read more]

He had some bad punts as well. He had a good average though. Special teams was just poorly coached this season. Finding a punter won’t be hard.

I think it is the best indicator that Beck is running the offense. But I could be totally wrong. I have never worked in the business but it makes sense for an OC to bring his own position coaches rather than trust the existing ones adopt your philosophy.
Which is why I continue to believe it is just another Whitt hire.

No. Path of Exile 2 is out and it is glorious.

Everything I hear is that he is a terrible teammate. I am 99% sure he is gone.

And over his 10 seasons as a OC/QB coach, Beck’s quarterbacks have averaged 3,300 passing yards and 509 rushing yards, for an average of 3,809 yards of total offense per season. I’d love to see Isaac in this style of offense.

to your second #2: A lot of those bad bounces were self inflicted which doesn’t always revert to the mean. Just dropped interceptions alone cost the TCU and parochial school games. Even after the “hold heard round the world”, Calhoun dropped a pick 6 that would have iced the game. That’s execution not luck.

My guess is after this weekend is when we would start seeing movement among position coaches if it’s going to happen. Early signing is done but you still need position coaches recruiting the portal. If you’re going to make a change and your target is on a bowl team now is the time to go get them. If they are on a playoff team, you probably have…[Read more]

The game of college football doesn’t give extra credit and there’s no handicap system. It doesn’t matter whether you are an 18 year old freshman or a 25 year old 7th year senior, when you step on the field you have to produce. It’s the ultimate Darwinian process and Wilson didn’t pass the test. Any blame or credit Wilson got was earned by his…[Read more]

It’s not an either/or world any more. You’ve got to figure out a way to pay both and Whitt said during the season that he already had his spreadsheets and budgets set. Now we’ll see if Blechen / whitt are as good at Moneyball as Billy Bean was.

The only direction this team can go after this disastrous year is up.

That’s not necessarily true. I agree that I don’t think it will get worse but there is still the possibility that the end result is the same as 2024 but with different players.

A lot of what people were banking on for 2024 success was based on the relatively easy schedule.…[Read more]

Statistically the offense was an outlier. It will go back up. I don’t think the coaching improved at all in the BIG12. The defenses top to bottom were pretty unimpressive.

but, but, but.,, the fact that players hadn’t announced yet was proof that the staff and the season weren’t problems

2023: 45.5 yards per punt (tied #21)
2024: 44.7 (tied #35)

of all the dark spots for the last 2 seasons, Bouwmeester wasn’t one of them. If the only acceptable punters are Ray Guy winners, be prepared for a lot of disappointment.

Barf.

There’s plenty of room for optimism and the farther we get from game 12 of the 2024 season, the more optimistic this place will get. By next August you’ll be begging for little ole Eeyore to get the red kool-aid out of your sippy cup 🙂 I kid

Right now, the rhetoric is worse than normal for this time of year. It’s only been a week since the…[Read more]

He absolutely needs to return. He obviously lost a step this season because of his foot injury. If he can get healthy and back to his freshman all American level he’ll be a day 2 pick.

You have to recruit out of the portal also
