I’m so on the damn fence with this.

1) we gotta play with the big boys. Hell the medium boys

2) what the hell else can we do after getting the commitment, acceptable paper work in hand, and then an 11th hour “psych” - I’m not sure what we are supposed to do if we aren’t given the chance

3) and if they gave us a chance to match and we said “piss off” that’s one - but also, there has to be SOME responsibility here. If he’s demanding sorsby/Leavitt money after agreeing to 2/5 of that, that’s pretty wild. We are literally promoting extortion at that point

The answer can’t be “cave to every demand a 20 year old makes”. You don’t negotiate with terrorists, and this is fucking TERRORIST behavior

Texas Tech or Indiana doesn’t seem to have these issues. We need these players much worse than those other programs. Either we’re serious about paying the market rate or we’re not. Unfortunately it’s clear we are incapable of acquiring the very large quantity of quality players (of which would put this class near the top of the class rankings) necessary to ensure this roster doesn’t get run off the field next season.

I hear ya, Biscuit. I hear ya.
 
All the talk about how he is such a good human being, great team player etc. makes it even more amusing. But honestly I can’t really blame the kid, this staff would have ruined him. Especially if he’s getting more cash. Every man for himself right now unfortunately.
It's so funny, dead on.

He went to a private Catholic HS then went to Notre Dame. Gets the amazing human being rap. Then says fuck you when he gets a better deal.

I'd go with Will Stein and more $$$. It's a friggin easy call.

It'll be the easiest decision he's ever had to make TBH.
 
Based on the guys mentioned, I think you have to take Chiles.

My glass half full take is that he had a better QBR than Raiola this year. I’ll keep stressing that.
This guy's video is amazing. I love it. He's like a little bulldog back there mixed with some Napoleon calling the shots. We need a guy like this honestly.

No more Sims/Chiles/Raiola All-Bus team. Give me a dude like this! He's from Florida though and looks like he's visiting FSU.

His UVA stats scare me too much:

This guy is right on this. Colandrea QBing your team for a season is like snorting 4-inch lines of coke before hitting up a Berlin nightclub. But I'm here for it. Why not? Nothing else has worked for us. He only has 1 yr left so you probably get to keep Lateef.

You get a QB like Colandrea and you might unleash the old Dana Holgorsen too.

For the love of God being a Nebraska fan is already not for the faint of heart.

If playing it safe gets you 7-6, 20 points a game, no pass rush, and a groundbreaking portal flip of a qb, let’s let the lord of chaos reign.
 
Nobody on staff that is as good of a coach as Dan Mullen when it comes to Qb play. Would be weary of him because of that.
The real Dana Holgorsen is alive somewhere. He lives on deep inside of the pale imitation of DH we employ in Lincoln.

I believe the real Dana still exists. But he needs something to bring him back to life. Colandrea might be enough of a psycho nutter to bring out the real DH lol


(Check down king Dylan was the worst thing we could have - he made imitation Dana stronger. Check down after check down)

the only time you'll see that is when Rhule gets canned midseason and Dana is the interim
