Firing Keenum would be monumentally stupid at this juncture. I don't get that narrative by State fans

Kinda have to get a little lucky there, like we did when Doc came in, changed shlt up, and fired himself.
I don't want Keenum fired. But Selmon was a bad hire. Maybe he could delegate athletics hiring to a committee or something.
What has he done besides build buildings and the rainy-day fund?
^^^THIS^^^
I think that only the individuals contributing to NIL should be able to b!tch about how much money MSU is spending on NIL or how that money is being spent.
I got questions, lots of questions, on these subjects.
This. If you are a promising 19-20 yr old lineman and you hear this guy talk, are you excited?
What if we don't believe in tipping professional athletes? This is a weird culture being built out. I don't feel the need to tip Ja Morant when I go to a Grizz game but I do wish him success in getting paid obscene amounts of money by his employer and advertisers. Keep compensation in the business model world and don't ask regular fans to subsidize anything directly.
Now, if you're the guy that gets some sort of personal joy out of it, I don't see why you shouldn't pay a stranger to play sports above and beyond what they get through their employer. If it makes a better sports product for me, I'm good with that. I just think it's weird to ask the masses to participate in that model.
its very difficult to get five new O lineman every year and have them play As one unit, in synchronicity with mediocre O line coaching. Iowa has stacked classes they develop and by the time they are juniors they start and are monsters. They use the portal for maybe one piece if needed or for depth.
i Don’t think this approach will work, O line will continue to be a mess
Sooo, a fan that spends money on tickets, seat fees, parking, hotel, meals, gas, etc needs to keep their mouth shut about the terrible product on the field the last two years?
All you have to do is take a short peak at the W-L record the last two seasons, a lot easier to do that than to be a 17-18 year old HS kid and try and go do your school research on a free website full of messages from know it alls like us
If Baylor can do it, why not? We can offer more than a practice squad salary and clearly eligibility rules dont matter.
You are correct. I should have added those items since a significant portion of NIL $ is coming out of the general athletic revenue.
I think the ol coach not getting canned is a clue. Technically the defensive staff not being fired last year was a clue. Or just the staff to start with. We increase our talent because we could be Toledo but we should have beat them with the talent we had, this year the excuse is the line talent was not good enough. Maybe true but doesn't look like it's being fixed
More than most. Less than a lot. Who cares?
He better have less time than that. He needs to be gone by the end of October so we can get his replacement in place and started on recruiting.
By the people making money off of their performance, names, image, and likeness -absolutely! They get my dollars through ticket purchases, espn subscriptions, or a small cut of the sales from businesses they are representatives of. Good old fashioned capitalism. Just like the pros. All for that.
If we are going to embrace the tip for play culture, we might as well be honest about it. Let the athletes put their Venmo QR on their unis. That would at least be an honest this for that transaction. Plus, it would result in a better distribution of dollars for performance than me sending 100 dollars to a collective and have 80 of it go to who knows where.
Y’all better chill out with the Lebby slander or will rogers is gonna start another thread.
Lebby’s up tempo, high volume offense doesn’t require a bunch of elite portal NIL bloated offensive linemen like more traditional scheme or tempos do. Instead, it thrives with a rotation of well conditioned o-line sized bodies that can sustain the most snaps in the country. High tempo demands rotating some linemen to stay fresh. Several solid, cardio trained bodies are valued over brute strength in Lebby’s style of offense. That’s why Shaud Williams specifically trains them for this style. We are good and will add a few more guys who fit this mold.
We had the second largest offensive line in the country this year.
We are good? Like now, currently?
We’ve been watching different football teams apparently.
3*, 48th OT in the portal. BUT he redshirted last year at FSU and hasn't played a down in college. Hopefully he's a good addition.
State's academic reputation has gone steadily in the dumper since he's been president.
I was just thinking that while reading Will's post. Is there really any one, outside of Will, that thinks we are quote "good" in current the state on the O-line? I am just curious to know.
That comment is all I need to see to know he is just a troll.
I was thinking so. I was just genuinely curious is there anybody dumb enough to agree with the troll about our O-Line. I have been an O-Line coach in high school for the last two decades along with playing O-line in college. It took me about 2 seconds to realize he had no idea what the hell is was talking about when it comes to O-Line play.
Remember, before I was banned, when I used to talk about the “temp-tax” with regards to linemen and Lebby? Most here laughed at the notion.
