You really shouldn’t be calling others ignorant if you think we lost 55-0 to ND because of some inexperience on the OL.

I agree with this in regards to UGA. Not ND. Losing 55-0 to a team that beat FSU, Toledo, and VT by 3 points each isn't just a case of being outmatched unless you feel we are at the same level as a bottom tier FCS team. That was some mixture of below average talent, awful coaching, and general I...

Honestly I would be pretty surprised if our offense showed improvement this year with the personnel losses we have taken. The coaching staff has been upgraded but they don't have a great deal to work with. If our team is going to take a big step forward it will probably have to come on the...

Good FCS program that is moving up to FBS. They already have a good QB for 2022 but he should have a reasonable shot at taking over in 2023. He could make a name for himself there.

Lol. Give me a break. I literally went over every year of Weinkes career as a QBs coach to try and make some judgement. If you would like to give a counter argument and give some examples of times where QBs he coached excelled at their position then please do. We will wait. Here is an article...

I actually don't disagree with all of this but the Rams went from dead last in the NFL in passing in 2015 and 2016 under Weinke to top 10 in passing in 2017 without him. Tennessee went from 75th, and 85th in the country under Weinke to 39th without him in 2021. The worst season of Nick Foles...

Goff was the 5th rated QB in the league after Weinke left and raised his QB rating nearly 40 points.

Nick Foles, Case Keenum, and Jared Goff.

I may be too hard on Weinke, im just going from his results. He was a QBs coach in the NFL and his QBs finished near the bottom of the league in QB rating each year. He then went to Tennessee and his main project there (Jarrett Guarantano) regressed under his tutelage. The data on him isn't...

Oh how I love the emotional argument when someone just has a differing opinion. If you think there is no possible logical reason for anyone to consider this a mediocre hire, then you may want to evaluate your own emotions.

Here is my main reason for feeling that. Most explanations for why Chip Long left Notre Dame are related to his relationships with players and other coaches. No one ever really questioned his play calling ability from what I can find. Chaney has just been mediocre in general. He had poor results...

Weinke and Chaney were there in 2019 as well. It wasn't much better (76th OFEI, 100th total offense, 97th scoring offense). Im not expecting much, if anything from Weinke or Chaney honestly. Long is a different story. He has the potential to take the offense to a much higher level. We will see.

Like Yeti said, I was speaking more of the time these guys were together. Somewhat acknowledging the posts about them knowing each other. A pretty alarming stat though is what happened after these guys left UT. 2020: 90th OFEI, 102nd total offense, 97th scoring offense 2021: 6th OFEI, 9th total...

You aren't feeling the magic of rebuilding the 2020 Tennessee offensive coaching staff that finished 90th in offensive FEI and 102nd in total offense for a 3 win team?

If we can't compete with Duke and UVA in coaching hires going forward then we need to go the Vandy route and pretty much give up on football while diverting funds elsewhere. Hire whoever you want as HC at that point because nobody will be paying attention anyways. I don't think we have fallen to...

It’s not impossible but I’m not sure what it says about our program if Miami is taking Oregon’s head coach, VT is taking Penn State’s DC, UVA is taking Clemsons OC, Duke is taking A&Ms DC, and we go after Tulane’s OC for some reason. Happy for Dixon for a well deserved promotion but I don’t...

Actual attendance maybe. Hard to quantify though. Reported attendance was 37733 on average last year. A 50% increase would be over capacity. Personally I think an 8 win team could get us into the mid 40s on average. If you want to consistently be over 50 then we need to be a consistent national...

I think it is worth asking if the reasonable suggestion (8 wins a year) would do much for attendance. It would likely be better than it is now, but im honestly not sure that it would make a significant difference. 8 wins wouldn't even have us in the top 25. We would likely still be losing to UGA...

Is he wrong? Feel free to offer a rebuttal if you agree that it actually was the perfect time for the Spring game and we were the only program smart enough to figure that out.

I haven't had a chance to watch this yet but if our second string defense is significantly worse than our first string defense which will likely be pretty bad this year then holy cow, what are we doing on that side of the ball?
