The structure of NIL creates weird incentives. Contracts aren’t with the schools, they are with whoever is fronting NIL money. Those NIL payers can’t obligate a kid to stay at the college, they can only make a kid forfeit money if he leaves. But that means any school willing to pay more can buy a...

I’ll put it this way - the team wasn’t ready for week 1. Had to install a whole new offense and defense with a new coach, new coaching staff in all key roles, tons of transfers/departures and a new QB. Add in a real QB competition in camp and Daniels just hasn’t looked comfortable - it’s one read,...

Idk, he gets a chance to legitimately play both ways for 3 years, and to be coached by the last guy to successfully play both ways (and multiple sports) at an elite level. I doubt he’ll do both so well as a freshman that he feels like he hit his ceiling. And I doubt he goes to Alabama and Saban ...

They did not deserve that ranking. The spread attack and burrows savvy in dodging blitzes or getting the ball out quick covered up a whole lot. The run game was ok but not great and didn’t get great push in obvious run situations. And none of those guys have had good starts in the NFL ...

He did a good job at the end of the season with a very depleted roster, and I think there’s something to be said for continuity so players don’t have a 3rd DC in 3 years. But even at their best the defense still looked disjointed at times and had lots of miscommunications, and he also didn’t really...

I mean he took over a program that was stuck in the past and known as a place where offensive talent was hidden by boring schemes, took it to seasons of 9-4, 10-3 and 15-0 and changed the perception of LSU into a top destination for offensive football. The last two years weren’t great, but rememb...

I agree with other posters there’s no way he’s leaving Cincy this year. Has a generational chance to take a group of 5 program to a playoff. If he takes a job, with recruiting etc, he would have to announce it before the playoffs. That would crush his team and leave him looking like a real mercen...

A lot of people nationally assume Aranda is staying because he and Baylor are “in talks” for an extension. Then why hasn’t he signed one yet, amidst a hot coaching carousel where he’s a very obvious candidate for a job? It just feels like he’s available and either (1) Baylor leaking that to warn...

They lost 9 out of 11 starters last season. The replacements are TERRIBLE, they were a top 10 offense (efficiency wise) last season but bottom half of the FBS so far this year despite playing terrible opposition. They can't run the ball and their skill position players do not have the athletic...

It can definitely be corrected, and part of it is probably just bad focus in blowouts. Watching the tackling, I sometimes get the sense that they are too comfortable with a big lead and just trying to make a big play or get a big hit. Hopefully they use Utah State as a real tuneup after the ...
