  1. TIL Charlie Strong posts on Surly under the handle LTTxfan, which actually explains a lot.
  2. My original post was mostly a joke. In all seriousness, I am inclined to give Terry a pass for last year if he can put together a cohesive team this year that meets expectations. Hunter being so terrible at PG and Mitchell being a zero on offense made things extremely difficult, though I do think Terry should’ve recognized those issues last offseason. But if we see another team that doesn’t quite fit and can’t put it together, like last year, then Terry needs to go.
  3. Ok… The guy’s been a DBs coach for like 18 years. He’s never been promoted or stayed anywhere more than a few years while being related to guys who have flown through the coaching ranks. But sure, recruiting one guy who panned out in 18 years is huge.
  4. Look out, boyz! With a roster this loaded, Terry might just hover around the top 25 all season and eke out a tourney win again this year!
  5. He’s not a good safeties coach, either. Moving around the problem doesn’t solve the problem.
  6. This is a weird guy to bring this up on. I don’t think Austin Jordan needs Sark’s input to figure out he’s not starting over Jahdae Barron next fall. He’s going into year 3 with no prospect of starting or even playing much. Not that surprising he would want to transfer somewhere for playing time. This is a symptom of having a top 5 roster. UGA and Bama have guys like this transfer out regularly. After 12 years of wandering the desert, We’re finally at the point where we’re no longer taking that guy from Bama or UGA and instead have our own leaving. So you’re saying we’re going into Year 4 of Joseph coaching CBs with a success on the field and massive NIL resources and he’s still struggling to recruit/develop legitimate outside CBs? Sounds like a guy who needs to go.
  7. Joseph would have to learn to coach a first position before he can learn a second.
  8. He’s a nickel/safety. Him playing outside CB probably wouldn’t go well. Same for Barron, but Barron would be better outside than Guilbeau if we had to pick.
  9. Huh? Denver gave up next to nothing for Wilson. He’s not going to change their plans at QB.
  10. Teams will only have about 20 guys graded as first rounders each year, so this is pretty standard.
  11. This is a really good and relevant point in the context of Arch Manning’s career plans. Thank you for your contribution.
  12. I think we all know how that will measure out.
  13. JFC, man. This does not apply to QBs at all. Good QBs regularly play into the late thirties these days, so rushing to the second contract doesn’t matter. If anything, it’s the opposite for QBs. They get rushed into playing in the NFL, so having an extra year of playing and developing in college helps them be ready to succeed and maximize their earnings.
  14. Unless these are your personal rankings, swap Pinex and McCarthy. McCarthy is largely expected to go top 10. Penix is end of 1st/early 2nd. Even if you zoom out to the whole first round, the hit rate for TE in the first round isn’t good relative to other positions. TE is also the position most closely correlated with an elite RAS score, like top 10 percentile and up. Bowers is small for the position, so he would’ve had to test off the charts to get near that number, and there’s probably a reason why he never tested for teams, even at his pro day. So I can see why teams in the top 10 have some pause. Having said all that, I would still take him top 10 and it may happen. I think he’ll go somewhere between 7 and 13.
