good. that kicker might be the best in the country. pay that man whatever he wants.

in a shock to absolutely no one, CB Will Johnson declares for the NFL draft.

yeah buddy, we knew that was coming when you quit the team halfway in the season to avoid injury/protect your body and prep for the draft.

top 10 overall pick lock imo.

not sure on the hire but its giving me Al Borges vibes. they could've done so much better....

This is where I’m at. I think he’s solid at qb development, but I’m not sure he’s an OC. We’ll see.

yeah, in wait and see mode. feel like it was a panic hire to not miss out on portal targets....

I'd also add...whatever one thinks about this hire....Kirk Campbell just flat out HAD to go and Lindsey's resume/experience/background and various different coaching stops/coaching roles are infinitely more impressive than Kirk Campbell who had basically none and was just handed the job first by Jeem then by Sherrone.

College football is filled with moments where a hire that doesn’t look very good at all totally works out.

But that is not at all a good looking hire

agreed. might wind up being a home run, but I doubt it. seems very meh. all things being equal still think he's a real upgrade over Kirk Fuckface Campbell.

At least the schedule gets way easier. In terms of OOC play I'll gladly swap out a playoff Texas team in Ann Arbor for @Oklahoma that's in a rebuild. There's no Oregon or Penn State on conference schedule and the conference road games are @Nebraska, @Sparty, @Maryland, @NW, and @USC which is in flux trying to rebuild after a 6-6 year and they get Wisconsin, Washington, & Ohio State all at home.

Donovan Edwards sitting out the bowl game. I'm assuming Mason Graham, Will Johnson, Colston Loveland, Kenneth Grant, and Kalel Mullings probably are as well. Yay bowl games!

Jack Sawyer was a 5* and like the #1 DE and #5 player in his class. 

Josiah Stewart also missed like 3-4 games, he's double digits easily if not for the injuries.

and that's the 30 second version. Watching it for 3 hours per saturday was far more prone to someone wanting to rub their eyes and wonder how they went from watching JJ to this.

how? Jeem kept flirting with the NFL every off-season which lead to them not being able to really recruit fuck-all at QB to replace JJ in the '22 and '23 classes and then by the time the Natty run was over and Jeem took the Chargers job and Sherrone actually got the head coach job the portal was pretty much over with and they couldn't get a QB.

If Sherrone had the job earlier and they were able to go throw a bag at Cam Ward they are probably 10-2 and in the playoff right now because the defense was still very good and special teams were as well, the offense and QB play was just comically bad and it's not 1968 anymore, you can't win a lot throwing for 60 yards a game.
