I hope they do hire another coach. Not that I see any glaring vacancies on the staff (and I’m not counting DC; if we were going to hire a new one, we would know by now), but there must be some area of the team that would improve from having a dedicated coach. How about a QBs coach? A Special...

I thought Bryce Koon did a good analysis of our transfer portal gains and losses on his podcast. The only guys he mentioned us losing that I would have really liked to have last season were Kaleb Oliver and maybe Antwan Owens. Another guy we lost to quitting football who might have been nice to...

I think they were inconsistent at evaluating their players. I know he gave his best, but it was baffling to me how stubborn they were about keeping TaQuon at starting QB. It seemed like every time he had to take a series or a game off, his replacement would light it up, whether it was Matthew...

Unless Chip Long has a QB coach in mind who would take the job, I expect our last hire for the coaching staff will be a dedicated Special Teams coordinator. Wasn’t Burton coaching the “defensive” special teams? I’d be in favor of having a coach completely dedicated to that. Our special teams...

Well then they’d better be ready to pony up the money for the buyouts and then pony up enough money to pay the next coaching staff competitive salaries in relation to the rest of the conference.

Here’s my hopeful take on the situation: our O-line will probably not be dominant next year, but there’s hope that they will be better than last season. From my (admittedly flawed and imperfect) eye test, our offense has improved each of the past two years. Not enough to win more games or carry...

If he likes Franklin at Center, maybe he starts there if he’s ready, and Minihan moves to Guard. And if Franklin needs help on calling the protections, Minihan could take on a Shaq Mason type of role.

Interesting hypothetical. I suppose it depends on why CPJ retired. If he was forced out, then of course there was no way we would have gone with another option guy. If CPJ retired because he felt that there was little hope of success going forward, then it’s hard to argue that Monken would have...

Oops, my bad. You replied to my post, so I figured you were talking to me. Agreed, 3 years of 3-win seasons is going to make any fan base mad, no matter what the coaches said publicly.

Who says I’m not mad about that? Is there anyone here who’s happy about that? Just because I don’t spend every five minutes of every day complaining about it doesn’t mean I’m happy about it or find it an acceptable level of performance.

I was making more of a general statement on the quality of articles from him. Yes, this particular article is about PR, but he’s written plenty of articles that follow the formula I described. And as someone else pointed out, 3 wins a year for three years in a row was going to have us all...

I have to agree with you. He writes like someone who doesn’t know how the game actually works. He doesn’t seem to have an understanding of the nuts and bolts of how offenses or defenses function, and rather than trying to educate himself on where our team is failing, he just doubles down on the...

There’s a safety from Michigan State in the portal named Michael Gravely. Maybe he’s following Tillman to Atlanta? He has “Grave” in his name, so maybe that’s the Undertaker reference?

I swear, if Riley hired him away and then waited until we hired a replacement to change his mind about Tashard, I’m gonna be really nettled.

In general and in an ideal situation, it’s better to under promise and over deliver. The problem is when the one evaluating the promises can’t tell when the over promising is BS. Sometimes there’s an attitude of “This other person promised me more than you, so if you don’t promise me more...

We don’t know that Gibson will even come to Tech. Sims is very talented, but he still has aspects to his game that really need improvement. And Pyron happens to be skilled at the areas where Sims is struggling at this point in time. Sims very well may fix his weaknesses and lock down his spot...

I wouldn’t worry too much about that. There’s a little more class separation between Sims and Pyron, especially if Pyron takes a redshirt. And Pyron is pretty talented. Sims may have the advantage of experience at the start, but I think by his third year, Pyron will be pushing Sims for that...

That’s way more succinct than what I was reading. So in that case, I would assume that it’s a 2 high safety look? If so, do you think it would reduce confusion if we scrapped the single high safety stuff in the short term? Is it easier to switch between Cover 2, Cover 4, and Cover 6 as opposed...

Really? Kudos to them! I got a headache just reading about it. Is it common as a base or does it tend to be more of a situational thing (like 3rd and long, for example)?

So after looking into the basics of how different coverage shells work, it’s now no surprise to me that there was so much confusion in the secondary. Cover 6 seems very difficult and appears to require a very high level of communication, understanding of roles, and situational awareness. If I...
