  15. Yep... FAU: The Owls are firing head coach Tom Herman, sources tell 247Sports' Matt Zenitz, Richard Johnson and Chris Hummer. The Owls are 2-6 in 2024 and are 6-14 overall in Herman's tenure. Herman is the former head coach at Texas and Houston.
  16. T-Bob takes similar position that stronger defense gives Texas a better chance in CFP playoffs if they get there. And Aaron questions Texas chances due to Quinn's lack of mobility...
  17. Here's T-Bob earlier in the day Saturday...
  18. BoB pisses off another QB, who then quits Boston College quarterback gets benched, quits team The current system in place allows, encourages and even rewards players for leaving their teams at certain points in the calendar. This isn't one of those cases. Zach Barnett Nov 15, 2024 We're in a long-overdue player empowerment era in college football. Seemingly overnight, players have gone from being forced to sit out a year and in some cases needing their former coach's permission to transfer certain places to full-blown free agency twice a year, under a system that encourages players to put themselves on the open market as often as possible in order to extract as much value as they can from the system in place. This system may come to an end somewhat soon-ish, but in the meantime it's become commonplace, even expected, for players to put their own interests above their team's. In the vast majority of cases, it's hard to criticize the player -- major college football is a big business, programs look out for their own interests above an individual player's, and, again, the system allows/encourages/rewards such behavior. This, in my opinion, is not one of these cases. Boston College head coach Bill O'Brien announced a quarterback change, elevating backup Grayson James over starter Thomas Castellanos. In response, Castellanos made his own announcement -- he's leaving the team, effective immediately. Castellanos never comes out and says he's leaving the team, but the implication is clear: an Eagle on Thursday, a free agent on Thursday. This isn't a situation where the system incentivizes Castellanos to leave now. He played in eight of Boston College's nine games to date, and was BC's starter until James replaced him midway through last week's Syracuse game, which the Eagles came back to win with James on the field. This year counts against Castellanos's eligibility; assuming eligibility clocks still exist next season, he'll be a senior somewhere else in 2025. This isn't a bowl game opt-out, either. Boston College still has three games -- a quarter of its season -- remaining. At 5-4, BC needs to defeat one of No. 14 SMU, North Carolina or Pitt to earn the right to extend its season into December. And speaking of December, the transfer portal doesn't technically open until Dec. 9. Officially, legally, there's nothing stopping or even dis-incentivizing Castellanos from remaining with the team through its Nov. 30 regular-season finale and then fielding offers once the portal opens nine days later. Nothing in this player-friendly system penalizes Castellanos from finishing the season as an Eagle, nor does it punish him for remaining with the team. He's decided to leave the team anyway, which is his right as an American. But the coverage of Castellanos's exit doesn't tell the full story. He "announced transfer." He "exited." He "made a decision." He "stepped away from the program." None of those are wrong, but they don't tell the full truth, either. He quit the team. "We wish Tommy the best," O'Brien told WEEI. We think very highly of him, and we wish him the best. But we’re going to rally around Grayson. We have a lot of confidence in Grayson." Castellanos will likely step into a starting job wherever he lands. He started a season and two-thirds at BC, firing 18 touchdowns against five picks this season while adding nearly 200 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The supply and demand of major college football favors Castellanos, with more QB1 jobs available than there are quarterbacks who've proven they can produce at a high level. And that's fine. Along with his former program that was his current program as of 24 hours ago, we here with Castellanos nothing but the best moving forward. We also just want to be honest about what's happened here.
