If Koon can beat Jack Kiser in the Oklahoma drill then Al Golden should unironically be fired on spot. Am I doing this right?

I'm not afraid one way or another. But if you've missed the tune today, it's rumor season and they're coming from 247 among other sites and being shared here.

Dismiss it, get scared, get happy, don't care - all are fine options, just sharing the rumor.
Yeah idk Phil McCracken or Dickson Cider from a random 247 board don’t exactly hold much water especially without a link to the thread.

You should read Jamie U's 6 Thoughts article on ISD today. This isn't a new thing, we've been young on offense for the last few years
And we haven't been able to beat any of the high level defenses we play either. So cool that it's how it's been but guess we can continue to expect 9 win seasons too.

Why on earth would Marcus Freeman be interested in coaching at Texas A&M? This is silly. Gonna be a long offseason.

Assuming Chansi was a shitty coach and a bad locker room presence, it would be stupid for Freeman to hold onto him to hope that a few mediocre receivers stick around.

Let's get a grip.
Fair point, but why stop at Stuckey? Parker is an equally shitty OC. Why not can/demote him?

Freeman has confidence in him (for whatever reason) that he can correct the offense and right the ship.

In Parker’s defense, the wide receivers, collectively, created little separation all year — with some limited exceptions.

However, the offense approach, creativity, and play calling largely devolved as the season progressed. I doubt it was just due to the WRs….

It’ll be interesting to see how they perform next year with losing Hartman, Alt, Estime, Tyree … They’ve got to bring in a bunch of talented, ready-to-play guys.

They'll feel it the most with Alt and Estime, and outside of these two, I feel like the production can be matched or exceeded. The sky is falling people need to get a serious grip on the transfers leaving.

You what the beauty of it is? Catholics can bend whatever rules they want when the situation calls for it.

Like when he said one thing on Monday and did the opposite of that thing on Tuesday? He's fitting right in.

Since day 1, Freeman has talked about the importance of recruiting. Well, his OC decisions have caused the entire WR room to leave. You could argue that Parker isn't to blame, but how many truly great offences would see this level of defection? If the players believed in the OC they would stay.

In the end, the fish rots from the head down. Freeman let the players have too much say over hiring Klein. Then he panicked after Swarbricked blocked Ludwig and elevated Parker without the resume. And now he's sticking with his friend when the results show us how entirely stupid that is.

I wanted Freeman to work out but now we have a coach who regularly screws up on game day, can sign players but can't keep them, and makes awful coaching decisions.

Let's just get through year 3 and then we can all start tracking the ND plane again.

I’m still struggling to figure out the Stuckey firing. The only thing that makes sense is Parker and Stuckey didn’t jive, and Freeman picked Parker.

If that is true, a “Head Coach Search 2024/2025” thread could be made now.
This is where im at. 9 transfers already with 5 being receivers is going to be difficult to replace even with the portal.

I really want Freeman to succeed, but the writing is starting to be visible on the wall.

O'Malley said for the last 2 weeks he expected like 18 or 19 to medically retire/transfer/head to the NFL.


This train ride is just getting started.

Don't get me wrong I somewhat expected this fallout. Its all the receivers entering the portal that doesn't sit well. Already thin at that position and its starting to look like there was some bad blood somewhere.

You would think we were 6-6 and had a #17 class coming in based on this board. Jesus Christ.

We're 9-3 with and are 9th in the SP+, this is a very good team, even with the often dysfunctional offense. We hired a 35-year old first time HC. Did we really think we were immediately going to go 11-1, 12-0 with no hiccups?

We are signing another 91+ avg recruit rank class (basically never happened under Kelly) + 5 star QB + #1 QB in the portal inbound and we're bitching because a couple mediocre WRs transferred after we fired a shitty WR coach.

Shaun Davis is divulging details about Stuckey currently.
What's he saying? He kept on saying he couldn't believe the news he was hearing in regard to Stuckey and his character. Supposedly, Stuckey was heavily involved in his church? Driskell was the one dogging on Stuckey, at least his character as a football coach, more or less.
