re: Ole Miss QB Situation for 2026

Plus, Trinidad just signed a new NIL agreement with Ole Miss so the damage to Trinidad being ineligible is very real rather than it just being hypocritical.
That should have no impact. If it does teams will just start signing Sr’s to new NIL deals and using it as the basis for them to continue to come back. And he isn’t ineligible…he’s out of eligibility as every 22+ year old should be.

OM sure lucked out. Can’t remember who their starter was but doubtful he would’ve done as well as Chambliss
I think we’ll see more FCS and D2 transfers with the expanded rosters. A HS kid that isn’t ready isn’t going to stick around for 3 years to develop.
While I don’t like NIL it does seem to have overshadowed HS recruiting which had gotten out of hand. It’ll be interesting to see what the impact is to HS recruits and if we start seeing fewer of them get signed by P4 programs cause all the emphasis is on transfers.

re: OM Spirit message board coming to terms with Golding

After OM beat UGA I thought this could end up like State when they won their baseball title. Guy inherits a built teams, back into a title and gets fired 2 years later cause he caught lightning in a bottle and isn’t really a great head coach.
Given Golding didn’t win a title I’m guessing the natives grow restless mid-season next year. I don’t see him sustaining what Lane built.

For the QB crowd. The staff is supposedly all in on KJ so they’re looking for depth.
Good approach. I think they can build around KJ and worry about QB next year worst case scenario. QB market is insane right now and we have way too many other holes to fill.

Anyone know what other QB prospects we are hosting besides the JUCO kid?
Good question. We only have 2 QBs on roster right now? KJ and the transfer from Memphis. Speculating here but I’m guessing we feel good at QB and won’t be signing anyone of priority but will pick up a few for depth. Not sure if we have any uncommitted HS QBs to maybe target for the Feb signing date.

105 roster spots and 105 scholarships I believe. I’m guessing if you “walkon” and make the team you automatically get a scholarship. Though with the transfer rules I’m guessing walkons aren’t really a thing and they’d be encouraged to play elsewhere and transfer in if they improve.

Around 44 spots left to fill. Curious to see what we save for the spring portal opening.
With the new rules there is no spring portal. This is it. Hence the volume of players and urgency from teams to land players now, even if they might be overpaying some.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong but pretty sure this is the only portal opening till this time next year.

Defensive players are being signed down other P4 schools with actual stats from the season compared to the 3rd and 4rh string at UGA, G5, and FCS level. So far it kinda is night and day. They may have enough players to have an actual rotation on the dline next year.
This is the key point. The guy from UNC for example was their leading tackler last year I believe. I don’t care about star ratings when you have actual games stats and experience at the P4 level. This is how OM, IU and TTU built playoff caliber rosters. Fill areas of specific need with guys who fit your scheme.
I’d like some more weapons at WR and depth on the line, but I’m glad they are spending more time on fixing the D as we are void of talent/depth on that side of the ball.
re: Lamar silenced his haters tonight, right?
Posted by GoldenSombrero on 1/5/26 at 9:04 am to ReauxlTide222
Andrews drop against the Bills was bad, but it was also a poorly placed ball.
Lamar is good but even in the game last night he’s not making the same throws Rodgers was in tight coverage.
I’ve played with freak athletes (nothing close to Lamar) that would “carry” a team but not really elevate the play of their teammates. Can’t see it on the stat sheet but it’s definitely a thing.

Same thing happened against Mizzou. Pretty obvious who we prioritized to keep within the first 2 weeks, and for good reason.
Biggest takeaway to me is how absurd the rankings are.

Would require seriousness. Like hiring Bob Chesney that has won at every level.
I’m not a HY fan but let’s be honest. Cignetti had 1 offer, that was from IU. Same with Chesney. I’d have loved to hired him here but nothing is guaranteed.
Whether it’s college or NFL there are a lot more misses than hits when it comes to hiring coaches.

That’s not the point. Point is he’s willing to put in the hard work and do whatever it takes. It may not translate to wins but certainly a breath of fresh air compared to what we’ve been seeing.

I admittedly wasn’t a fan of how the search went down or the initial announcement. Trying to hold off on drinking the koolaid but I’m starting to see why we hired him.
Most coaches preach accountability and effort and are demanding…but the good ones are leading from the front and not asking you to put it more work than they do. The difference between a boss and a leader.

Hasz had 2 catches for 25 yards at Ole Miss this year. Guy should have never transferred.
Is Santaga (sp?) the only guy we’ve lost to the transfer portal that had an meaningful impact? Maybe Paul or one of the DBs that went to LSU?
Point being we’ve benefited more from the portal than it’s hurt us IMO. Hopefully we are smart enough to track this stuff internally and use as a selling point when trying to retain guys.

The question is, if you give him 1M do you get more than that much back in donations from people who do think Archer is the second coming. I think it's an interesting business situation myself
I don’t think it would impact our overall NIL but I’d imagine he’d personally be getting local NIL deals at a higher clip than he will out of state.

We have KJ Jackson and Trevor Jackson (Florida St. transfer) along with Grayson Wilson possibly returning. Not sure the NIL demand he has is worth it if we keep those 3. If he wants to come great but not at the 7 figure deal he’s demanding.
Yeah I don’t think we can risk that much NIL for a QB who probably needs a redshirt year, given the roster overhaul we need this year.
He performs at Utah he’ll have plenty of options to transfer, if that’s something he wants to do.

His past history does not warrant me buying anything yet, I still think we have the second coming of Chad
I wasn’t excited initially and still cautious. However other than coaching in the AAC they are nothing alike.
His resume is much better. He spent several years in the NFL, which frankly is probably understated just knowing how to manage guys getting paid. Chads only claim to fame was coaching HS in TX and recruiting Watson.

I hope so. One thing about RS radio interviews that brought back some bad memories was his comment about coaches reaching out interested in a job. We heard that twice from the last 2 and ended up with less than impressive assistants after being told otherwise.

It’ll be interesting to see how Auburn does going forward, considering they basically just got the staff a lot of fans were hoping & planning on.
I expect they’ll be in the playoff hunt next year or the year after. Primarily due to keeping Durkin and adding an offfense. Though I will say Golesh isn’t a Time of Possession guy ( somebody posted that here I think) so we’ll see what impact that has on their defense.
