No idea, but I feel like the kid would benefit greatly from some feedback from Drew Brees. No undersized QB did the job better IMO.

Well its not like they're grasping at straws here. 3 teams with a pulse, 3 losses.

I agree that there are definitely areas that deserve some criticism. But if you actually thought that Kiffin was going to come in here and get 12 wins, a playoff berth, and a Natty in Year 1, you are a fricking simpleton. Make your case for any college football coach that you believe could actually do that with the same portal players available and zero position depth anywhere and I’ll shut up.

Yeah, we should probably nix the band and the fans cheering too. Wins must come before that kind of tom foolery should be allowed.

This is the first reasonable post I’ve seen all night.

46MIL and #1 portal......this is unacceptable, IMO

$46M it costs to field a team these days. I don’t agree with it, but it’s the cost doing business. You seem to think that the spend should equate to instant success, but it’s not that transitive.

Adding a few players in the offseason as a means of roster maintenance is completely different than building an entire roster. For example, programs like Ohio State aren’t going to the portal for an entire roster each year, but they’re still spending close to the same amount to field a team. Last year they brought in 17 players from the portal and their roster costs around $50M. The difference is that Ryan Day and staff only have to plug in 17 guys into a system that’s already proven to be successful. Kiffin had to build a whole fricking roster.

Which do you think would be easier, plugging in a few new guys and bringing them up to speed on an established system, or having to teach a whole new system to an entire roster?

As for the #1 portal, Kiffin got the best group of guys available. That doesn’t mean he got elite talent.

You didn’t miss anything. Bama lineman swung his arm down and hit Leavitt on top of his shoulder pads and Leavitt just fell down.

I didn’t see anything on the replay that caused him to trip. Dude just fell down

Bro, you obviously know nothing about CLK. Dude practically lives in the OPS building. He’s got more work ethic than 99% of the people on this board. So honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find out that he’s in the OPS building right now reviewing film from today’s game, or watching film on some 28 recruit. You can say a lot of things about CLK, but calling him a fraud and insinuating that he’s not putting in the time is fricking retarded. The guy is the polar opposite of BK, so just stop with shite like this.

Agreed. I never said he thought he was elite. Read before you respond

Bro, you’re a fricking retard if you want to hang this loss on Kiffin. Yes he’s the head coach and all falls on him at the end of the day, but it’s not like he told Leavitt to go out there and play like a fricking moron, or wanted the defense to have a couple busted coverages which were costly, or hoped the o-line would struggle to block. If anything, I’d say the players choked in all 3 phases. Downvote all you want, but Bama just played better and made fewer mistakes.

I’m done with the guy who just rifled into the area with three bama defenders for a costly turnover.

The o-line is what it is

Dude just doesn’t have it
