We have one more year of this and then we have to hope we can do better than get a Head coach good enough to get our hopes up but not good enough to actually win a lot in the Big Ten. Please not another head coach who will hire his lesser/inexperienced buddies for the AC roles because they were good enough at whatever G5 school he came from. Groundhog Day.
And yet, miraculously, Oklahoma State has Mestemaker, Hawkins, and the starting North Texas OT from last year on board and is going to land the UNT #1 WR Young. Mestemaker and Hawkins could’ve gone anywhere in the country and Young isn’t far behind.
agreed,, It's easy to be very emotional here on the internet w/out millions of our own money on the line.
Yeah, bringing players along definitely works at a higher level when it is the HCs that move instead of the assistants.. There is a much better chance than new place will feel/be like the old one.
I do think the HC v Assistant piece is fair but not by any means insurmountable and thus is part of the reason I am frustrated with how the situation has played out with the SDSU guys and Nebraska
Tech did with McGuire. Seemed to work out

Plus our administration put the university into a worse predicament extending Rhule which was just stupid. It’s going to be harder to fire him after next year due to a huge buy out when we likely don’t make a bowl game.
We had 9 portal visits scheduled within the first day of the portal opening.
Agree @Seaofred92 on pretty much all of it and yeah…two days in, it seems we don’t really have anything to base success or lack thereof yet.
Winning cures everything
You gotta admit, his coaching hire doesn’t look to bad now compared to what we’ve had.
Which is pretty sad. Point was we had money back then but went the cheap route vs proven winner or close to it that would’ve brought infrastructure etc. Bo did well with the Callahan recruits and then it fell apart.
go back in time & I wouldn’t hire Bo. There’s a reason Youngstown state was the only one who wanted him & calling in a favor at LSU to get back into the P5 which was a disaster. Now he claims to not be coaching cuz of his stance against NIL & the state of cfb lmao
