    Who thought the LB'er position would lack the ability.

    Sure, but it's still Duke. Well renowned basketball school; football, meh. The portal changes timelines, but it doesn't change "basketball school" narratives. Not that I think Manny is a great HC. Really good DC. Maybe great. I still have nightmares of that one 3rd down blitz Michigan burned...

    I think in their cases, you play. If you perform, you will have good offers. If you like the new coach(es), you stay. By not playing, I think that your value drops. None of the WRs were top 50. If you couldn't play in this offense, it doesn't make your stock look good.

    Terry Smith, JF, recruiting and this team going forward.

    And he likely will be if the new coach doesn't win vs ranked teams. I don't like Rhule as the pick either. If you want somebody like him, I'd prefer Campbell who has done more with less.

    If he can bring WRs to State College, Brian Hartline. Just my take.

    That concerns me. Rhule just comes across as an underdog guy. Yeah, he won at Temple, but didn't Golden and Addazio? Sure, he turned Baylor around, but they were good before Briles got in trouble and the Big 12 is trash. At Carolina, he sucked. At Nebraska, he's been average. What does he do...

    There was one scenario where Smith gets the job. That required winning out (already shot), making the playoff (a long shot at 9-3 but would have had 2 top 3 wins if it had occurred), and I'd even say win it all. Smith was made interim because he's probably primary or 2nd recruiter to 3/4 of...

    New staff might not get the opportunity to persuade if he checks out 6 weeks before they show up. These kids have practice footage to show in the portal as well. If he can play, play him. If we're worried somebody is gonna outbag us for him then we aren't winning a Natty regardless of who we...

    I think he did a good job with Wallace, but I also acknowledge that Tre will never be a WR1. I'm curious to see if we play any young WRs going forward. I'm also curious if AK can create any down field passing. Do you think the current offense is designed to benefit anybody? It's just random...

    There isn't currently a home run hire that exists. Every coach has some issues, even a Kirby Smart (can't beat Bama). Kiffin - loses against all the top 5 type of teams. Lanning - hasn't beat a great team yet. Saban - he quit for a reason. He never won until he was buying Unc a car and...

    And he is even more likely to leave if he continues to sit behind 3 transfers and a WR who is on the roster because Franklin liked his brother.

    It's tough to say much about the young WRs. They don't see the field. I know Hagans is gone after the season. No new HC is retaining him. We agree there for sure.

    AK would be my first. He can't develop a downfield passing attack. If he needs a mobile QB to run his triple option ish offense, he should have told Franklin that he needed Beau or he should have took the WVU job. The fact that he didn't throw a fit and demand Allen play over Singleton...

    Can't blame Franklin for not playing the young guys Saturday night. I'm willing to give Smith the benefit of the doubt. If this doesn't change over the bye week going into OSU, why bother? Why fire Franklin at 3-3 when he could have easily went 3-9 vs the rest of the schedule?

    He's been gone for 2 years now. He's a casualty of the portal era. He couldn't break our 2 deep while we had JThomas and Ellies. Our failure is not developing any other DTs nor going to the portal to get them.

    How he enters the game and runs one route, gets open, catches the ball and then doesn't see the field again is baffling.
