Not one single comment about the “Juice Squad”? You guys are slipping. I honestly didn’t think Pancake Posse could be outdone.

quote:Didn't hurt that he brought the team with him for sure.
Indiana definitely raised themselves up with the Cignetti hire.
I do agree that parity is the eventuality but right now that's not what is happening. And the blue bloods will always have the money. It's the little guys that will get kids that want to get coached up and move on that will pop up a la Indy/Vandy.
quote:I don't think they did at all. I could easily argue that the NIL effects on the larger ($$$) schools have dragged them down to Vandy's level. Still more of roster management than parity.
Did you ever believe Vandy would morph into a potential playoff team, I didn’t.
I will also add that Vandy and Indiana have something in common. They are schools with no real history of success. Kids who go there want to be there and good coaching + coachable plaers = success vs mercenaries. But in the NIL era, success breeds greed and greed = transfer time. Vandy and Indy are just behind everyone for the moment.
quote:It's not parity at all. What you see as parity is mostly roster management issues. Teams buying big money QBs or WRs and neglecting other key components. The next hit that is already happening is all the transferring is lowering player development. How many guys have transferred and maintained or improved their performance? Very, very few. Can't blame the kids for chasing $$$ but they are killing their own livelihood.
It’s all about parity now.
I will argue that Indiana is a short-term outlier. Full of 5th and 6th year seniors that followed Cig. Let's revisit in a year or two and see where they're at.

Totally agree that Saban’s last two years were his best true coaching and that is because of the issues. I also agree NIL was part of the decision but am convinced that he also wanted to preserve his legacy from the drop off.

Who's to say that one of the reasons Saban retired was that he saw the cliff coming right at him and it was unavoidable and cataclysmic? Imagine seeing that AND all of the players walking in his office demanding to start and get paid. He made a business decision, just like Bama's players did against Indiana.
We can certainly argue DeBoer's X's and O's, but the roster has not been great for years. And like it or not it is pretty damn miraculous to have had winning seasons and a trip to the CFP with the issues on the depth chart.

Seems like he would be a good pickup.
Is my monitor going bad or is the AU logo purple and gold?

They really don't and their efforts are completely inconsistent so you simply cannot build any momentum. This has been the core issue for several years from Saban to now. It has to be corrected or you have to find that 99 QB you created in NCAA Football on PS. Even then defenses figure out they don't have to do anything special to be effective by about mid-season. :banghead:
re: Is there any film study/critique on our o line?
Posted by Bamadiver on 1/2/26 at 3:24 pm to bamabonners
quote:The Film Guy commented on the line many times in his game film breakdowns this season. His analysis are very good. Many examples of poor technique, not getting off of first blocks, flat out being run past by athletic edges, etc.
Does anyone have anything where someone steps through examples of the bad play or technique?
re: A bad feeling in my gut...

That may be a very good thing. We bent over backwards to try and preserve the roster when CNS retired. Time to clean them out. Maybe find some guys who want to play.

Could have used a little propafol at least.
This is how you melt. Get it all out.
Utah State would like a word.
You are consistent.

Agreed. Indiana is really the last vestige of old school football. Hope they destroy everyone the rest of the way.

I’m completely ok with it here. At least a few guys want to make a play.
Indy is trying to shorten the game.
That didn’t take you very long.
