I do wonder if they gave Air Nolan a ground heavy offense as part of the overall plan for 2024. Like if we got into a Cotton Bowl situation or emergency #3 QB situation, it might be best to get a QB with very good legs in and try to grind out a game that way. Sayin or whoever is #3 QB won't...

I wonder what the "plan" for Hayden was. It's the part that confuses me. Was it similar to the plan they pitched to Xavier Henderson to come back and it never really materialized. Like could they have been pitching him as a Curtis Samuel like player and trying to develop him during these red...

Kelly was in the running in the first cycle. The rumor is that Kelly pulled back because he wanted to give UCLA a chance to figure out how they can compete in the NIL world. UCLA basically came back to him and said they weren't going to change much which is why Kelly was ready to leave. The...

Bill O'Brien not moving his family isn't that weird though. When someone works long hours or travels a lot and also moves their family alot, there is a point that the family just will basically refuse to move with them. They basically know how to operate without that person and most likely...

Even if he did use his one time transfer exemption, having Saban announced he was retiring on the day that classes start is probably a real easy case to get a waiver. My guess is anyone from that recruiting class from Bama can easily make a case for a waiver because of the timing of Saban's...

Classes started at Bama on the day Saban announced his retirement. I think anyone who was in that recruiting class that transfers in this window and wants to transfers again is going to have a strong case for a waiver.

Troy Smith was recruited as an athlete and played special teams and RB as a redshirt freshman. He wasn't brought in as competition to Zwick, QB just ended up where they needed him and where he fit. It's like how Jalen Marshall was brought in as an athlete but to be used as a hybrid WR/RB but...

I do wonder how Day sells this to Noland or even Sayin. I could see the coaching staff saying that with more scholarship QBs, the less one QB has to play scout team and can get reps with the actual playbook. Realistically how many teams deep do they really go? Like is there a 3rd and 4th team...

If Day really likes Air Noland, he should try to keep him. If Bill O'Brien does good things here, that's great, but it will also probably mean he will be up for a head coaching jobs at some point. If Sayin is coming to play for Bill O'Brien then he probably will leave with Bill O'Brien if he...

I think a lot of schools expect the NCAA to expand the number of people who can recruit on a staff. It was suppose to be changed last year but NCAA hasn't done it yet. Maybe he buys his time as an analyst or consultant until they expand that number and he goes to being the recruiting...

I saw reports that he was asking alot in NIL money. It seems like he wanted a bidding war for his services and every team that might have wanted him decide just to go another route.

I think this is a hole in the recruitment strategy. Go out and try to find a Ohio kid who will be happy being a backup even if their ceiling isn't high. I think these older QB from other programs are just bandaids. They should want to at least get a guy or two that stay with the program for...

We really don't know how much Hayden was suppose to play in this game. I do think it's understandable if he didn't play much when Kienholz came in. They really needed veteran players to be in the back field to help Kienholz get the play in, call protections, and make any adjustments. I did...

Howard can run and it's not some potential that is seen on some high school tape. He has legit running ability for college football. He needs someone like Day to coach him up as a passer if he wants a real chance to be a NFL starting QB. He can win games with his legs especially if he has OSU...

I don't think Day can risk not getting a portal QB. He can't go into next season with a QB with so little experience as this QB room has. Go get Ward or Howard, both who have a lot of college football experience and roll with that over the potential of Brown or Kienholz.
