Castellanos quits BC

"Player empowerment" is why I do not go to games any more and only watch Tech on television. These players want to be free agents? Good, when you screw up, you should be fired and have to hand back the money. Now you will be "empowered."

Now get off my lawn

Actually, I don't think Kazakhstan is known for it's football prowess. (Appears to be Kazak on rail car.)

Neither is fsu nowadays.....

Sure. Give the colleges the ability to take their money back if the players don't perform to expectations. Seems fair to me. Now you get off my lawn before I shoot your ***.

In Houston he came in to a talented team that had won iirc 9 games in 3 years. He did well but over years peaked and started down. He traded a long time good wr for rb and draft pick and press was after him.

He looks and sounds like Belichek but not nearly as smart.

He will be a competent coach but will never have a running qb unlsss desperate.

I can remember when he was heralded as the "boy genius" Fun times.

He's a very good coach...unfortunately, his ego is writing checks like he's winning national championships and Super Bowls. Look at Boston College this year. They almost beat Missouri and SMU, both on the road. Outside of the VT game, they had the chance to win every game. This is in O'Brien's first season, with a team he didn't take over until February of this season. Which means he's playing with guys he didn't even get to recruit. They'll probably go bowling again this season (need to win one more between UNC and Pitt).

He's going to be a VERY good for BC, but the big question with BOB is whether he stays there for long time or tries to "climb the ladder" again. That's always been his MO, along with his giant sized ego.

He was having a pretty good year, statistically:

More on the situation. It seems like the backup has always been the better fit for BOB's offense, but it's pretty d@mning all around...for Castellanos, BOB's coaching style, and the NIL ecosystem of college football today.

I did a quick look. This guy was a FR in the same year that we brought in ZP if the data I looked at was correct. ZP was a higher rated guy and has been hamstrung a bit by a horrid coaching staff, injuries and the decision to bring in HK. Bottom line, there's a million great players and you can't recruit or sign them all.

Why not? Especially if they are in your own state? TFG is to blame for this, imho.
