They also run the kicks and punts back for obvious reason. Some moron told Sxhiano that he gets better position fair catching everything and he was dumb enough to believe them.
Are you saying Lanning and his Coaching Staff suck?
Thought he answered that question in the past year or so, and he said it was something about analytics and field position of no runback versus a fair catch on kickoff.
He said that’s why he does it. And if it’s what you say, that’s even worse. He’s paid a lot of money to win football games. If he’s afraid of the game, then he shouldn’t be coaching it.
It's not often I agree with @Caliknight, but I do here. It might be good to live in a world in which all punts and kickoffs have to be fair caught (although that would make football *much* less exciting). But in a world without that rule, coaches need to be willing to do everything within the rules to help their teams win.
100% agree. But that’s why they rerank and apply a new star rating to portal players.
Agree- but too many people are still talking about the HS rank of 23-26 y/o adults still playing college football100% agree. But that’s why they rerank and apply a new star rating to portal players.
College Football Top Transfer Portal Players
The best 2026 college football players that have entered the transfer portal.www.on3.com
the game has changed and looking at teams rosters now has to put players obtained by the portal in with HS talent when rating the incoming class.
Baloney. The farce is recent. And LeGrand happened on coverage, not return. That‘s more dangerous. Why doesn’t he have his special teams kick out of bounds every time? Just another example of stealing salary.
It’s sending by a horrible message to the team, that’s for sure. Cutting off the highest potential for juice plays because you are scared is grounds enough to fire him. If that’s true, it’s the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard in sport.
Pretty sure you are correct. Brian Leonard was a 2 star line backer. I think Deveraun Thompson was 2 star. You could recruit tough kids with big hearts and strong work ethic who were under the radar and develop them. You can't do it anymore. Now you develop them and they leave.
Not sure Shelby agrees. ND bailing on the bowl game over not being chosen for the playoff might be more pathetic. Let’s call it a tie.
That is my point- we have had so many 2 stars that have made the NFL- so, in reality, those kids were actually high 4 star players by the time they were in their last year or two. And these are the type of 2 star kids that the transfer portal allows you to take from the team that developed them. So- to say that someone is winning with 2 star players that they got from the portal, is very untrue...
