Well as I said yesterday, you have to protect the plate with two strikes. Reese took an inside and low pitch for strike three. Too close to let go by.

Physically can’t get a bat on that ball where it was my dude.

Don’t need a track guy telling me about baseball.

RIP Mike Leach and Bo Pelini.

Yeah i would call them co #1s. My bad.

Which is without question better for a RB. Their longevity directly correlates with number of carries, they are making a bad decision if they opt for more touches in college.

We will see if he can recover, but he quit coaching after the 2015 team and has been trying to rely on talent ever since. He hasn't worked for years. When he was hired at UK he said he didn't see himself coaching beyond 60. He should have retired after 2019.

Sadly this has happened to several great coaches in all sports over the last decade. The game has changed rapidly and not everyone moves with it. Same happened with the one and done change.

Arkansas is a bubble team. They never should've been ranked but their season isn't over because they've lost to three better teams.

You get a little rep bump when you hire the ghost of Ben Howland. Edit: John Calipari.

Could work out. Would keep in mind though that anyone on this board could probably average 35 PPG with Murray, Gurley, etc… in 2011-2014’s SEC East. The division was so bad Missou was winning titles.

Because every foul in like 10 minutes has been called on State. Feels like about 8 in the last 10 minutes. :lol:

Weird, I was just thinking he was doing incredibly well.

I think you have to go big for the positions that have longevity and don’t command a lot of NIL, specifically OL.

Then you identify raw 4 stars at specific spots like ATH’s and WR. Sell them on playing early and developing so they command more NIL money in a year or two. If you lose them after 2 years that’s fine, it means they produced. The biggest earning potential for those guys isn’t going straight to a blue blood and maybe not getting good playing time for 3-4 years, it’s showing out early and hitting the portal as a proven commodity. Just have to make them buy into that.

The portal is there, have to use it instead of getting burned by it.

Like he destroyed it when he hired Mike Leach?

Like when he passed over Johnnie Harris, your current HC, to hire McCrae Penson. Or when he passed over Butch, also your current HC, to hire Cannizzaro. He passed over Grantham, who may not have worked, to hire Moorhead who had less experience and certainly didn’t work.

Not knocking the decision to go outside, it’s the right decision more times than not. But when you have an obvious and qualified successor, passing over them to hire someone else’s assistant coach is generally not one of those times.

He got better with time I would argue, on our bill while he learned on the job. But those later hires were also risky PR hires (Leach and Jan’s), if more certain performance hires, because he knew he was running out of tarmac.
