Significant offensive improvement seems unlikely after losing Gibbs and others. If we are going to take a leap as a team it is going to have to be on defense where we really shouldn't be as bad as we are.

No they aren't because it turns out getting more money and still having less money than everyone you play against isn't really much of a strategy. If we could move to the Big 10, get their money and still only play ACC teams then that might work. I don't think they would let us do that though.

The same OL seemed to do ok the next year with a different QB. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eh. Dude has 6 tackles in the last two years. Slow your roll.

Neither of those scores make much sense. Why is Clemson going to be lucky to score 21 when they scored 30+ in 5 of their last 6 games last year against mostly better defenses, and now have a phenom QB ready to replace DJ if he struggles? Why are we expecting to do much better offensively with...

Expecting our offense with new coaches, and new players all over the place to come out swinging against probably the best defense in college football in the first game is asking too much. We might have a fighters chance against Ole Miss though. Depends on how in sync they are with all of the...

Decent chance we don't score against Clemson.

Most of the rumors for why Long was fired at ND centered around his relationships with players and other coaches. You can read somewhat about it at https://theathletic.com/1460968/2019/12/15/chip-long-notre-dame-offensive-coordinator-tenure/. Some rumors were that him and the OL coach Jeff Quinn...

Pretty meh on this one. I guess we needed a third QB though so we can redshirt Pyron.

There's not really any evidence of that being true. What other teams were after him that we beat out? More realistically we were probably the best offer he could get a year after Tulane was the best offer he could get. I think he is better than our previous OC, but the efforts here to brand him...

Tom Herman could have a number of jobs if he wanted. Rumor for now he is that he is enjoying working as an analyst in the NFL while still being paid 6+ million a year by Texas.

This path would make college football far less popular and far less lucrative. That may not matter to ESPN though. They may be looking to cut content if their intention is to go full streaming.

No offense to Louisville, I have great respect for their program, but making a team we have played 2 times in our history a permanent rival is pretty lame.

Just because Collins had an approach of heavier on recruiting doesn't mean he is excused from terrible on the field results nor is the man who hired him. NIL and the one time transfer rule didn't exist until mid last year. They had no impact on the results we have seen so far.

If Collins has another poor year this year then he will likely be the worst head coach we have ever had in the history of the program. Im not sure why we would want the guy who hired the worst coach in the history of the program to hire another coach. Thats just my feeling.

So if one of young talented wide receivers has a breakout year, you personally expect them to be a Yellow Jacket the year after? The reason we only lost one quality player is because we only had one quality player. Although I would personally put Ivey in that category as well for his potential...

What changed is a combination of more money money via NIL and the new transfer rule. It used to be that we were worried we couldn't get enough good players because of the money being given by other schools during recruitment. We always had hope of getting some diamonds in the rough though that...

Not sure I agree on Bama. They have only brought in 5 transfers while losing 20. They are mostly replacing the guys who transferred out with new high school recruits. The portal really just gives them an easier way to process underperformers (by their standards), allowing them to bring in bigger...

You guys have weird definitions of struggling to get on the field when you include someone who scored 23 TD before transferring.

Im not leaving out the guys that came from the bigger schools. They fall into the same category. Before 2022 we had 8 transfers that would fall into the struggling to see the field category. Many of them 4 star players, from schools like Bama, Miami, Texas, and ND. None of them have made any...
