Delaware moved up to the FBS Sources: Delaware to join C-USA in move to FBS Will have the 2nd best looking helmets of all the FBS schools
I don't really get why a number of successful FCS programs have moved or are moving to FBS? Is the money that much better?
well even I can read between the lines from Freeman's presser this morning. Parker will be the OC next year, and we are taking a QB in the portal for sure. Also, he talked about what happened in the first half of the Stanford game that I thought was true also.(turnovers) We have to hold some of own players at fault. Eliminate the 3 turnovers and Stanford would probably have only 3 pts at the half while ND easily would have had 31. I guess that's on the coaches as well. My point though is I don't think we can blame all of that on the OC.
Yes, Max Johnson is entering the portal as a grad, and would be a great pick up for any team with a decent O line. He's smart, tough as nails, and can throw well. Not much of a "danger" clock tho, so that OL better be good at keeping him upright.
I don't know Scott, it certainly sounds like the Board of Regents may have had second thoughts. Why did the fans not like.Stoops
What it sounds like is usually not what happened... especially when you are hearing it from the internet. We'll never know for sure. Fans don't like Stoops because he costs damn near as much as Jimbo, for same to less results. At least Jimbo won 9 games playing teams from the West and beat both LSU and Alabama. Stoops' best seasons were when Florida and Tennessee were both bad, and he's never beaten Georgia. I admit I was underwhelmed when I heard that rumor Saturday. But I'm done with my season tickets, and being more than a casual follower of college ball so what I think isn't worth much.
Not necessarily. They've won 4x as many games in 2023 as in 2022. The CO folks likely are satisfied with the "turnaround" and are willing to wait and see. Other than Ara Parseghian in 1964, who in his first season at ND turned a 2-7 team with great athletes into a team that came within a questionable holding call of being an undefeated national champion, I don't know of any coach who's performed a near miracle in his first season. Lou Holtz was 5-6 with much better players than CO. If you (rhetorically) don't like the guy - and some don't - you're gonna gloat. I like him and will wait and see what happens in the next couple of seasons.
The resentment over Sanders comes mainly from the Press and how they hyped him early on this year. They had him on the coaching Mt. Rushmore after four games. He was just being himself. If he doesn't make it it will be because he burns every bridge as he crosses it.
My thoughts were more based on what's happening with his recruiting now. Seems a recent rash of decommits and transfers are happening.
Georgia DB Coach Fran Brown is going to Syracuse. He'll stay with UGA through the playoffs. He's reportedly the top recruiter in college football.
FWIW, IU is not looking at Tommy Rees. The reporting includes names of established head coaches running successful programs at schools like Tulane and Toledo, high profile assistants at major programs (not Rees), and a former head coach, Paul Cryst.
QB Danny O’Neil, the first hand-picked QB by Deion Sanders at Colorado, has decommitted today. Colorado has now lost its lone 2024 & 2025 quarterback commits in back to back days. Man, this team is getting crushed by defections.
O'Neill is a superior HS QB with solid D-1 potential, but I would not classify him as a Power 5 type of QB. I watched him play my grandson's team, and he had a so-so game. Kids who are P-5 recruits don't have so-so games. I have a granddaughter at Cathedral, so I kept track of him during the season. His stats were OK, not eyecatching. Sanders has an obvious problem with defections, but O'Neill is replaceable IMO.
