Better players don't always execute. Particularly when they're poorly coached. LSU says hi.

Obviously they aren’t robots but better players usually add up to more wins on average

You mean that Mendoza would not run up to the line to change the play to a run up the middle better than Athan did?

Mendoza actually did that. Except it worked.

I stopped being surprised at how good they were after I saw what they did to Illinois earlier in the year.

For me, it was Illinois and when they beat Oregon on the road in a game that wasn't as close as the score.

Coaching coaching coaching coaching coaching…

Ryan Day 3rd and 1 inside the 10 twice, throw a 10 yard pass both times … what a loser. Same loser who lost to Michigan 4x in a row. Cignetti runs the clock out, nothing cute. A winner.

Day is 82-11 overall and 54-5 in the B1G. Fire him now.

This is semi-pro football with little revenue sharing.

Serious question, if I won the powerball, is there any limit to how much I could donate to fund NIL and buy the roster?

could I just single-handedly fund the football team to the level of the juggernauts in college football?

Then all you'd need is a coach.

This is what people are missing here. The components to building a winning roster are evaluation, acquisition, and development. People are focusing on acquisition and ignoring the other two components.

Because the idea "he did it without 4 and 5 stars" hides the truth.

He just waits to see who the players that got 2 and 3 stars but are really 4 and 5s are, and gets them through the portal. Yes, at 17-18 they were nobodies but he then uses NIL to see who the raters missed on.

And plenty of 4s and 5s don't pan out, as we know well.

There's nobody with massive on field success right now making major use of NIL.

RU cannot do that with some of our stingy fans. We get some money- which is how we kept Monongai- but not enough to keep around Toure, and then people wonder how the D steps back.

So you are saying he was above the Mendoza line?

The QB wasn’t that good before him. He develops players. He doesn’t have one 4 or 5 star player on the roster out of HS.

Are you saying Mendoza wasn’t that good last year and they spent $2.6m for him? LOL get a clue.

RD same loser who we have never beaten on the field, what does it say about us

 

[RU#1fan]

They execute because they are better players. Great players make great coaches. They are spending much more than RU on a roster.

Wrong

he finished 6-5 in the ACC last year. He wasn’t some unreal stud.
