2025 IL DE Christopher Burgess (Notre Dame Signee)

Asking here, not questioning your opinion(because I partially agree with you): but is the issues in DL recruiting due to LJsr or issues with the OSU collectives? Because with NIL I see honestly less fault in coaches for losing top recruits, but put more emphasis on the NIL’s for OSU not willing to be aggressive enough in their fund raising
IDK, I could be wrong

It's probably a little of both, but NIL is what it is.
What i see is a lot of schools negatively recruiting LJ -- and successfully.
Not everyone takes the biggest bag; it's just part of the equation. But if you aren't the top bidder AND you have an unstable situation, that's going to be pain.
It doesn't even matter if the situation isn't actually unstable either -- if everyone believes it is. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Throw in the disagreements with Knowles, and i think it's time to find a plan and move on. A plan that the staff can point to and dispel the negative recruiting.
That at least puts us back on track with kids and families who are open to taking less NIL for the right opportunity in a stable environment.

Urban or Fick?

I personally would go with Urban in a heartbeat,A) He despises anything TCUN, he has the competitive edge we’ve missed since he’s been gone. He holds you accountable whether you are a walk on or 5* , anything less than an all out effort is non-negotiable with him B) he holds his assistants to the highest standards which is not happening, he also wasn’t afraid to mix young hot shot coaches with veteran leadership. He expects each position group to be elite at what they do, or not afraid to set the bar high and work tirelessly to achieve itC) I think he had a chance to reflect his time at Jacksonville. He has pride and definitely wants to get his name back in a positive light. You could see a slightly nicer, more engaging Urban but the fire would still be there D) he did not forget how to coach football and his influence still is large, he could call up any top assistant or elite recruit and it would move the needle . And I feel it would be more people contributing to NIL knowing it would for sure go towards a National Championship under his leadership. Just my opinion

Issue one is that Urban would never get past the Board of Trustees, and #2, he's said repeatedly he's done with coaching. And as someone else mentioned. He never had to deal with the transfer portal or NIL. I believe he's been pretty critical of both.

M's fans - what are my Braves getting with Kelenic?

Apparently, when he stays healthy, he's a good young player. With 4 years remaining of team control, he has time to grow and develop in Atlanta. Plus he won't be asked to bat 2-3-4...he can bat 7-8th and comfortably develop.

Maybe my outlook is too rosy

not a Braves fan but as you mentioned i think he can be very productive at the bottom of a deep lineup such as Atl's

Maybe injuries were more significant than we knew... Brown was still gimpy on the right ankle he hurt months ago. Hall was still damaged and got hurt again. Eich, Stover... Henderson? Harrison? JT? Proctor? Egbuka?
Altho... Brown's gimpy ankle should have made Day max amt of time Kienholz or even Gebbia were prepped... or OL drills
So dangerous changing out a new center... even if the old center was barely average... he's still been the one calling assignment changes...

Yes.

Steve Sarkisian - (Cutty Sark after Dark, Texas HC)

Sark couldn't dream of CFP after 2015 USC firing

After being fired by USC in 2015, Steve Sarkisian said he didn't see himself reaching the College Football Playoff, but now he and Texas are a win away from the national championship game.

Texas' Steve Sarkisian couldn't dream of CFP after '15 firing​

Steve Sarkisian said Sunday there was a moment in time when he thought he would never make it to the College Football Playoff, reflecting on his journey with Texas during the final coaches news conference before the CFP semifinal against Washington at the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Sarkisian pointed specifically to the months following his dismissal from USC in 2015 when asked whether there was a point where he felt making it this far in a season would ever be possible.

"Hell, yeah, I did," Sarkisian said. "I was out of work. Couldn't get an interview, never mind a job, never mind thinking about the College Football Playoff. Sure, it did. I think that's what makes part of this journey with this team this year probably so gratifying.

"So I think part of that puts things into perspective in that you appreciate the opportunities that you get. You appreciate the people that you're around every day. And you try to pour into those people. And when you pour into them, sometimes you get results like this, and you get on teams like this, and you get to be part of special seasons like this."

Just sayin': You do have to give Sarkisian credit having his alcohol addiction under control and turning his life around.
