It feels like he wants to someone to kiss his feet and make him feel like there could be no one other than him. And after a team interviews and finds that out they are like uhh nooo
Exactly, this is really what we needed, someone who's not coming in to let Day ultimately wiggle his way back into play calling. BoB will completely take over and Day can focus on being a HC and yes he will also be a great mentor for Hartline.
I disagree. I think Trevor Lawrence has the athleticism to play quarterback in the NFL, and McCarthy doesn't.
But what do I know? I thought that Saquon Barkley would be a bust, based on his performances against Ohio State.
Agree, Barkley is the same guy he was at PSU.
He will break off the occasional big run for a TD, but after 10-15 carries he's a liability.
And this year he couldn't even do that.
Definitely been a decent player to have for fantasy or as a gadget player, but as the 2nd overall pick... oof.
I hesitate to call him a bust, but #2 overall is a waste. Especially at a position that can get production from mid round dudes.
Unrelated but I know some people aren't happy that the new President doesn't have a PHD. Well even less people have been Admirals in the Navy and I find that highly appealing to be frank.
And even less of THOSE admirals have been through the Navy’s Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program. Add in the fact that roughly 1% of Americans serve. He is literally the 1% of the 1% - who cares about a PhD? Not a whole lot of time to work on dissertations when you’re deployed, TDY, or flying - it’s a VERY hard life. His combat hours speak for his time away from school.
For perspective, having been a career AF aviator, I’ve been through Advanced Airlift Tactics training (dogfighting), advanced mountain courses, HALO/HAHO, and plenty of other training, and that’s nothing compared to his accomplishments. I couldn’t even imagine going through TOPGUN and someone saying “yeah well you don’t have a piece of paper from a university acknowledging you did some schoolwork studies.” I’m absolutely over the moon for this hire. He has all the qualifications and qualities you would want in a leader. I would rather he mentor me than half the professors I had with cool LinkedIn acronyms after their last name.
I think the reaction is going to be very similar to the Bjork hire. Everyone is going to bitch and moan because *insert whatever—the Patriots offense sucked last year!* and then people will actually look at the reasons why the hire was made and most normal people will calm down.
From the 11W board:
Do with him exactly what Bama did. Give him a place to shine for a few years (mentoring Hartline) and then mutually part ways when he gets his next HC gig.
O'Brien coming in isn't just some empty suite, Day has to be 100% giving up play calling. FINALLY. He's someone who's very experienced who can take everything over offensively and allow Day to focus on being a Head Coach and Head Coaching duties (plus not a bad guy for Hartline to learn from). It's not a flashy young up and comer higher, but it's a very solid one that makes a lot of sense considering the current situation.
6th in PPG in 2021 and 4th in PPG in 2022 at Alabama. I don't get the hate about this potential hire. Say what you want about his Ped State background, but guy has shown he can be a good college OC. Wasn't my first choice either, but we could do much much worse.
Something that his lawyer amd business manager have definitely told him to do to insulate himself should it come out that the llc did anything illegal. Yet, nothing.
He'd only be ok right away because hiring him and retaining a good amount of the staff would keep a max exodus to the portal from happening. They still have enough there to be competitive in 2024 right now (especially with how lacking in talent most of the rest of the B1G is outside of a few teams), though there will be obvious declines nearly across the board.
My hunch is that Corum wasn't taking any income from the LLC. Instead, he was pumping money into it to finance the scouting operation.
Still, that whole thing reeks to high heaven. And Corum just walked away from it and never filed a complaint with the state of Wyoming. DFBIA says it's because the LLC was dissolved. Bullshit. It was still a felony. If I steal your car but return it next week, I've still committed a felony. Stalions supposedly violates the trust of a star player (who never knew who he was), commits a felony and possibly makes Corum liable for the activities of this LLC. Yet they not only let him walk away from this, but current and former players are hanging out with him at the Rose Bowl.
I don't know how well Sherrone would work out as a full time HC anyways. We've seen interims do well to start and then crash and burn plenty of times.
This was a pretty different case than normal too, he wasn't captaining the ship all by himself, Harbaugh was still there all week for practice and game prep.
