Losing Philon and Sherrell looks pretty tragic from the outside perspective im assuming. You throw in Williamson and it looks downright catastrophic.

True, but they are going to have to pick through some carcasses this year to field 12 teams, I mean some absolute dogshit teams

We will hear it next year for some other program.


You are probably right, but after seeing how desperate we are for possession type receivers (yesterday being a prime example), how the hell is this guy not getting any action if he is even remotely serviceable?

It didn’t fare too well at UTjr….40 points 7 times including 50 twice.

Not too hard to coach that 2016 and 2017 defenses


Yea, it seems those UT days were swept under the rug.

They will spend whatever it takes to get the right coaching if the team continues on its current trend


Players still win championships though and we need at a bare minimum about 60-70 really good ones and they are really expensive. Saban was 3 deep with studs in his dynasty. We are paper thin with skill after the 1's now and that's a growing trend everywhere except for the very top spenders.

Yes.. maybe.. but take in the last 20 years of winning seasons.. 7 national championships..even more conference championships. Indiana is not matching all rhe revenue from merchandising and such and all the money from the exposure. Alabama made themselves a household name.. Thats definitely not Indiana and theres not matching money from that perspective...plus ..yes we have a ton of rich boosters as well


They have two very specific alumni that basically can swallow up most of our entire alumni base with a stroke of a check and with the right incentive, they probably will.
You are 100 percent right... Cignetti, I give credit because they had won 22 games in a row.. A very solid roster, but it's so hard to keep these guys focused at this point with the agents, side jobs, etc that winning 5-6 games in a row without a monumental collapse is a big deal..

I don't think we can get Cignetti and I don't think Deboer is going anywhere. Sark has never won anything. The only guy that im even mildly curious about that I think we could get is Stein.

Shift all the $$ to Oats. He could win a national title if we gave him enough $$ to build the right roster


Absolutely..

Wish we had Cignetti and he’d probably come. Hope someone else doesn’t get him.


3 years ago, no brainer that he comes... Now, I just think the landscape has changed too much. Indiana is spending like crazy and they have a billionaire or two. It is an absolute requirement that you have a huge NIL budget in order to win championships now. Football is expensive as hell because of the numbers. Depth and experience wins championships now and this year and last year have proven that we get very beatable once the injuries kick in (and that is applicable to about 95 percent of college football right now).
I admit, I follow basketball more closely. But in the 3 years I have watched these Deboer teams I have no idea what the team's identity is supposed to be.
quote:

Well I mean I get the frustration but I don’t know who you get and how that would help out NIL situation with huge buyout to pay. I mean last week everyone was in love with DeBoer even in a loss because he showed fire and emotion and this week we’re back to fire him again.


Yep and 98 percent of college football teams are officially schizo anyway. No consistency. LSU, Texas, Uga, Bama, Fla, Tamu .. these were supposed to be the class of the league and all have vomited all over themselves in many cases more than once
quote:

Think we finish 9-3 with a loss to LSU.


This team isn't beating Auburn unless things change dramatically
Bishop is a nice back, but damn he has eaten up our safeties after initial contact
Hubbard, definitely not an all American
We insist on losing yards on 2nd and 5 or less
quote:

I feel like half of our 4th and short plays have been delayed plays under Grubb.

There is definitely always some f-ckery tucked in to every one
quote:

We just can't have two good plays in a row


I can't remember the last time we didn't lose yards on 2nd down
He needed that, UT missed the chance to bury this game... I love it
