Nice write up as always. Thanks! Ryan Niblett is now the 2nd leading punt returner in college football with 21.6 yards/return. One tiny nit to pick - you wrote "5 Arch was sacked 5 times" in "Stats that Matter" summary but "officially, he was sacked 3 times" in the main body of the text. . The ESPN box score credits Kentucky with 3 sacks and the Texas D with 5 sacks, so guessing you mentally flipped those numbers, no biggie.

Huh? No other team had access to NIL or the transfer portal during his time either. He had the same built in recruiting advantages every Texas coach has had the last 30 years. What type of context do you need to know that Tom Herman never lost fewer than 3 games in a season, was hated by his player, went 1-4 vs Oklahoma, embarrassed the university publicly multiple times and left us with 7 scholarship offensive lineman. He never sniffed the playoff. There is no further context needed. He was a boneheaded coach who produced inconsistent results and is currently unemployed after being fired in less than 2 years from his job after Texas.

Any players on FSU's roster that Texas would want? I know Texas recruited Kevin Wynn in the past.

Congrats quinn

Where was James Simon?

Oh I’m not aiming my upset at the kids/young men.

I am with you brother. As I said in another post - college football is now a big $$ industry, and changes happen a lot faster. Sux for the kids.

For sure staff changes, either addition (like defense) or replacement. College football is a big $$ industry now, and changes happen a lot quicker than when I had hair.

I think it’s horribly ill-advised. The program is going to implode in the transfer portal and there just isn’t a tried and true candidate out there to step in and immediately take over the reigns. There is no Kalen Debouer in this coaching cycle. And the coaches you would want aren’t leaving where they are at. Florida’s team is going to be gutted in the transfer portal. They should have stuck with the devil they know. I hate this for the kids that want to play on a team.

Ugly and disappointing win, however we are still in the race to get into CFP. Sark took a huge GAMBLE by going with young OL. He is betting on their quick development. The scheme is totally off to the current offense maturity. If his gamble fails we will be out of the CFP. Good Luck

Good guys.

Herman was hated by players end of discussion!

Not worthy of the extension IOM, hasn’t leaded a team to a deep run into the playoffs

Probably not much can be done now. The off season should be interesting. I see a huge influx of portal players on offense and some on the team leaving. A complete overhaul. Lets see what staff gets the boot.

Seems to be the go-to in today's college football; see Penn State. ADs want to get all their ducks in a row before next season.

My buddy is a huge gator fan and is excitingly texting me now. He didn’t think they would actually pull the trigger.

I agree with everything you just wrote, and also think that at certain times you need a fresh set of eyes out there for a series or two at the least. Or go two-QB system to make it harder to prepare for Arch which is getting very easy for coordinators right now. Arch has been on campus for three seasons now. The play is inexcusable and the lack of fire and leadership on th sidelines and the field as the starting QB is even worse.

for becoming the highest career earner in NBA history! 🤘🏼

Billy Napier out as Florida HC. No surprise here. Buyout = $19.38 mil, $9.69 mil to be paid within 30 days, per CBS Sports.

With a month more perspective I totally agree w you. Caldwell has been a calm, steady and productive presence every time they’ve brought him in this year.

This is going to be a crazy offseason for coaching moves, assistant coaches getting recruited and portal movement. It could be the craziest offseason yet give the big name programs that are all involved the same year. Wow.

You want a QB change cause that's easiest way that the offense would be fixed, in your mind. Arch needs to play better, but he's not reason we suck on offense. The sooner a lot of people come to that realization, the sooner we can look at the real problems for this team. Sark is way too arrogant in everything he's doing right now. The OL is hot garbage. We have zero game breakers at RB, zero. We always had one with Sark. Running the ball is paramout to his offensive schemes. Receivers are both too inexperienced and not talented enough. TEs are the worst they've been in the last few years. They aren't exceptional blockers and they certainly aren't athletic enough to make up for it. Sark still doesn't have a clue about what the offense does well: we have talented ENOUGH players that is just unthinkable to me that there isn't things we can't do well. Sark needed to figure it out months ago. We're complacent and we ride the emotional roller coaster every week. The guys are inexperienced and it really shows. We make stupid mistakes, after stupid mistakes, after undisciplined mistakes. I can go on. Arch gets 70 yard more in the air by hitting the easy stuff THAT HE SHOULD'VE HIT and it still really doesn't change the outlook of the game

At the very least, Caldwell gives a fresh look to the defense and may get throw them off a bit. If even just to give Arch a break from getting pummeled play after play. Particularly if it is causing UTEP Arch tendencies to come back. All hands on deck.

As Al Davis said, just win baby.
