    Murphy at 16 is a good indicator that that mock is total horse shit. 

    Murphy has been rising on internet mocks after comments made by Jim Nagy that Murphy is going to go significantly higher than people have him right now. Expectation is he is going to show out at Senior Bowl and will test exceptionally well at the combine. 

    Also - that mock is from Dane Bugler, one of the most well-respected and well-connected mock draft guys.

  2. All due respect to Mr. Nansen - was he on anybody's radar as a HC candidate?  Anywhere?  Because that seems like a mistake if its just to placate players and 'hold together roster'.  That school in College Station tried that - offseason hasn't quite gone how they had hoped.

    Texas will just go out and hire another LB coach.  But Arizona might hire a guy, who no one thought of as head coach material, because of a hashtag.

    Maybe there is little difference, but it feels like an assistant DL coach in the NFL could be a little more flexible in departing before the conclusion of the season compared to the main position coach. Or at minimum announce the hire and let him finish out his duties. Of course this is assuming it is Rod Wright.

    Pretty important hire and we have junior days coming up/2024 dudes in limbo.

    I think it probably depends on the head coach.  I'm sure there are plenty of coaches who don't want any distractions - not even an assistant DL coach leaving.  Someone is going to have to replace the work the leaving assistant was doing and I doubt a Head Coach in the playoffs would be thrilled by the idea of changing things up.

    I’m guessing the choice is Tracy Rocker. Spent over 20 years coaching and developing DL in college. 6 years in the league and was headed back to college before he got the offer from the Eagles two years ago. Lots of SEC experience. 

    Dl coach at Arkansas, Ole Miss, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee, and South Carolina.

    Green Bay Packers coach. They thought he’d be free by now. ☹️

    Forgive me is this was just a Cowboys joke - but are you talking about Jerry Montgomery (former Oklahoma DL coach)?  They also have a Defensive Analyst, Wendel Davis, who spent a year at Texas under Strong as an analyst working with the DL before going to Georgia as a Grad Asst and then eventually Green Bay.  Played at Arkansas.

    Yeah one of the recenet 9.95 updates was worded in a way that made me think it could be a situation like that. 

    Probably can't apply to college teams but I also read the Falcons are blocking interview requests for Nielsen.

    Yes - they are going to give whoever the next coach is the option to retain him.

    A big part of this is how well Sark thinks the OLine will hold up in pass protection. If he feels good about it, then he can afford to detach that TE and go 4 wides far more often. I don't think he ever felt great with Christian Jones in pass protection. He got beat like a drum in the sugar bowl against that Washington DE on passing downs. Cam Williams should be better there.  

    The Washington DE (Braelen Trice) led the country in pressures.

    Yeah, I think it is dumb given that we are worried about having the resources for a portal TE. Plus, we need a DT as well.

    Heisman-level QB and one of the best offensive minds in football coaching the team - it’s an attractive situation for any receiver who hits the portal. Why not take advantage of that?  I understand resources aren’t unlimited - but if WR is where the quality is - I’d rather funds go there than pay for some middling DT who is attractive only because we’re desperate  

    Also, I think Sark wants Quinn to throw for 4k yards.
