2026 scUM Shenanigans, Arguments, Arrogant Twatwaffles, Emasculated Cucks, Feckless Marmots, Dirty Cheaters "Mid"chigan

They didn't make any hires that are going to make them very attractive to most higher level portal guys .

They might replace them with some Utah/BYU guys but most of those moves are likely lateral at best.
Honestly, I think some of their hires seem fine. The big knock on them is not being acquainted for long periods of time with players east of the Mississippi.

I am for OSU getting a staff upgrade in portal evaluation. There are some good players who come in and made a impact, but there are as many complete misses that were below OSU quality and were just cheap.

If Indiana can do it, certainly OSU can as well.

You are always gonna take a big chance when it comes to guys like Onianwa who comes from a very small time program. I can't really blame them there he was very covered but he likely ends up a dud regardless to where he went.

None of these guys have any serious experience outside of that Utah/Idaho sphere.

The OC and DC are fine for Utah/BYU. Both looked pedestrian in the 1 or 2 games they had this year against actual good teams. Neither were upgrading jobs either until scUM hired Whittingham and he decided to bring all his buds along.

These are not great moves for a supposed "upper level" program. I think all of these guys are going to have issues adjusting in general and especially to the heightened competition level.

They better get acquainted with New England and Nova Scotia REALLY quick!

With the schedule, scUM will have a very hard time getting above 8-4 at best in 2026 if all they are able to bring in to replace what they are losing are Utah/BYU caliber guys. The outlook for 2027 will be about the same as well if they have the same kind of off-season

“Fine” is the perfect word. Not exciting, not optimistic, just… fine. And that’s what it will be for the next 3 years for them until Whittingham is gone. This is Rich Rod, Brady Hoke shit. A medium to get them through darkness without too many losses.

I don't think Whittingham will tank quite like Rich Rod but it's hard to see them being better than 8-4 in the next 2 seasons unless they get some major player upgrades which doesn't seem to be likely.

The DFBIAs favorite logic is "Well this year's team went 9-3 with Sherrone imagine what they can do with Whittingham"

2025 is a 9-3 season even if they had Whittingham or any other coach this year. Their record was more of a product or being handed a comically easy conference schedule. They were non competitive for the most part against the 3 good teams they played. Things get much much tougher the next 2 years.
