I think so too. I think the administration thought they're all laughing at us, we have to do something, and they panicked and fired him. The SEC is a pressure cooker.

Once we realized just how stupidly the contract was written (by someone who should be beaten like a rented mule) and we owe him the same amount whether he stays or goes, it had to be done.

Quit frankly, screw em. The offensive line was dog shiiite, the cornerbacks couldn’t defend anyone. Max Johnson has been an extremely mediocre QB everywhere he has been. Evan Stewart is a head case, always has been. So far there really isn’t any big losses talent wise.

Elko actually hired a person on the recruiting staff that has the portal as his entire responsibility. That is pretty cool, and shows that he is up to speed with modern CFB. He also hired an actual GM.

A&M needs to split recruiting between high school and proven portal players. Fisher never got that ...

similar to when we cut O. sucks at the time but best thing for the program in the long run


Lol it is not similar. We got the GOAT Natty out of it. They got NOTHING. They will have paid him over 100 MILLION with the extension. 100. MILLION. No titles. No playoffs. Nothing but a gutted roster. It’s not like a new staff is going to come in and get all that talent to produce because they were only there for the money and now they are all leaving. Is this the norm now for when a coach is fired in tge NIL era? Complete roster turnover? How is all of this sustainable. All of this is leading to less development, sub par football.

How is the roster gutted?

Gilbert - kind of slow, and sucked at tackling
Chappell - replaced with a quality CB from KSU (team player)
Overton - this one is a loss
Nolen - talented but he's going to the highest bidder
Lost a couple of backup OL. Seriously, losing OL is the last thing to worry about. The OL was TERRIBLE.
Lost a backup QB ... who cares. We still have the more dynamic third string and the starter
Lost his brother - still have plenty of TE's to choose from
And Stewart STILL hasn't gone in the portal. Will be interesting to watch

Still a few upcoming NFL decisions



We lead for a great portal WR to replace Anias. Another CB, and a LB from Oregon State. I'm okay with getting an actual coach and replacing these kids ... we are still DEEP on the DL. And a good OL coach is the best part of this deal.

Chappell is a good CB. I don’t know if he is committed anywhere else yet.

But I like that we have gone out and found a starting caliber CB.

Need better OL play. Should be the major focus.

Chappell is going back up North. He, Bisontis, and Diggs are definitely gone. I'm okay with that. Like I've said elsewhere Bisontis is the one that got BOTH of our QB's hurt this year. His OL coach sucked, but still ...

I can't speak on Johnson but Weigman's was actually the fault of the right guard.

Also, is Diggs even in the portal?

Yes, Diggs is in the portal. He's extremely loyal to Elijah. Enough to possibly go to Syracuse ...

Cushing made two Duke OL some of the best in the ACC. I'm excited about a technician at OL - we already have talent there.

Is he also from back East? I think that is a risk schools take when recruiting out of state players. They often get homesick and want to be closer to home.
