Ok, sorry. No, I’m not an insider. I wish our strength program maybe was a little better. I don’t want to guess if it’s up to par, but the law of averages says some of these large humans if developing physically and learning proper technique should be able to move people around by their 3rd or 4th year in the program . If not, we have a fundamentals teaching problem, our schemes are too complicated for college students to learn in 3/4 years, or our big boys aren’t getting strong enough! That is something Sark gets paid alot to assess. Maybe he should take a look at firing some of these peeps quickly if he wants to turn things around!. Although, I am on board with the defensive changes ( and I liked PK) the floor there was high. The floor for the interior offensive line doesn’t exist. Start there. Fix that glaring problem .

Any one of the 10 or so lineman we recruited to play for us. Whichever one or more develop and gets strong enough to play for us. Or not, maybe a transfer wins the job. What did you have in mind? Scrap everyone on campus and start over?

Unpopular I know. And the portal cures all diseases and causes world peace. But some of our players will get better and might just win the job even if we bring in new players . So I think the fanbase will be happy with whoever is the best at each position. Anybody remember Dominic Espinosa, or Christian Jones, they got better as the years moved on.

Yet somehow in the distant future they will claim a de facto National Championship for 2025.

Goosby, McDonald, Kanu, Wisner.

Didn’t he have an insanely low drop rate? I almost want to say he didn’t drop a pass.

I won’t speak about other players, I didn’t watch them too much, but I know this. I’m not putting Simmons on any second team anything. He’s my first pick in the schoolyard if I’m team captain everyday all day . I don’t have to see the other guy to know this.

No, keep the challenging non cons. When the CFP goes to 16 there will be several 3 loss teams and the SOS will matter more . Or win the games lol. We aren’t Notre dame cry babies. Let’s have some foresight for once.

From my understanding that’s how they operate. He told me Citrus Bowl with us way before the CFP announcements. And I was like, “we aren’t making it?” FYI, I knew we weren’t. But he didn’t act like bowl stuff was projection, he just knew, if you know what I mean. It’s a differ t level of money for some people .

I promise I’m not bragging. This is just for information purposes. I do know a HUGE Michigan donor. Thus my seats with him at the Texas game last year. Michigan kind of does stuff ahead of time. I think they might have someone. Or have already made those calls at least and vetted interest . That’s how they operate. I haven’t talked to him though. I’m pretty sure he knows what’s going on.

He’s a great offensive line coach. Bring him on. ok, I kid, I kid. 😂

I can’t concern myself with Notre Dame either. I think they are cry babies though, and cutting off their nose to spite their face. Those greenhorns are exactly why they need 15 days of extra practice. You essentially get another spring. And since we don’t use ours properly anymore (OTAs, that IMO make us soft) I’m glad we have sucked it up, and decided to use these practices.

These head to heads are like a fine wine. If the selection show would have been a couple of weeks down the road, who’s knows, maybe our head to heads against Oklahoma and A&M would have been considered more valuable. There are only 3 teams in the playoffs I’m scared of.

Because we are pansies.

We should have been more prepared for the 3 teams we lost. We could have beat Ohio Staye if Arch would have had half a pulse. He got way better. The stupid OTAs in the spring didn’t help our physicality. These kids aren’t pros! We were too soft against Georgia and Florida. Our game plan also sucked against both. We need to scheme to beat teams with similar athletes. We got out coached. You know who else schedules a hard non con no one is talking abou, Ohio State, and they had a good game-plan for a new qb and came out and beat us. Are we one of the best teams in the country. Probably top 7/8. Maybe 6/7, but I did r want to say that in case my kids saw me typing that. Should we be in, maybe. But we should have put up or shut up when it counted.
