Schnucks chip deal bitch.

Why the hell is Nate Johnson leaving?

Hope Jones got a degree.

Interesting name hit the portal. Michael Hawkins from OU. Would be good competition with Zollars. We would also get his brothe Maliek as a DB which we need. Hawkins flashed some ability. Will need to grow so is perfect to battle Zollars for QB1.

1st...2 weeks ago it was the Pedersen tree that was no good, now its the Malzahn tree.

2nd...80% of D1 coaches will be fired within 5 years.

Conclusion...Given a long enough timeline, with an 80% failure rate, any and all coaching trees will cease to produce. The challenge is recognizing the traits of the 20% who succeed regardless of "tree." IMHO, that trait is "in game presence." Meaning not only the ability to manage your team, but adjust to exploit the weaknesses of the opponent. Most coaches, OCs are lazy and/or unable to truly see from both sidelines. Drink and Moore are prime examples. Kiffin is probably the best in the game.

It's easy to condemn a coaching tree when the odds are 80/20 that you will be right. But its the individual traits that get you the 20% successful coaches. Im hoping with his experience, that Chip can see both sidelines and use whatever offense to be successful. Let's face it, the reason Malzahn or Pedersen or Saban have coaching trees to start with is because at some point they were successful.

We don't need some innovative offense. All we need is someone with an "in game" presence. Neither Moore or Drink have any idea what to do once the game starts. They both are so smart off the field, but piss down their leg on gameday. As long as Lindsey isnt the type to be intimidated during the game, we should be fine.

Actually its not that bad. If fired tonight, we pay him 7 million per year for 5 years offset by his salary from his new job.

The new OC may not be exciting, but he calls a better game than Drink.

Run Roberts to the left, all he had to do.

Hardy probably said he's hitting the portal at halftime.

Hall, and Banner were such a waste of scholarships
