Time off will be good.

it will give the echo chamber time to figure out which angle to take after losing to another 2nd year coach in a shıthole state in heartbreaking fashion

Agreed - will miss seeing the boys this weekend but anxious to see them take on Sparty and light them up. Excited for the game and I’m sure the guys are working hard this week!

They need to be tackling and making sure they can line up right during the off week. As ****** as meatchicken played at no time was the game in jeopardy for them and that's because our defense lack of focus with attention to detail.

Sparty's off too. Additionally, we never seem to get a positive bounce off a bye week. Hopefully that changes. At least I'll get a bunch of s*** done Saturday
Yeah and the noise around Holgerson to Oklahoma st is something else, yet again we are subject to drama surrounding assistants.

Based on the evaluation the team is doing - I could see there being an Oline shake up. Try to get Pritchett involved and get into a flow to see if the jumps continue to happen when he has a larger sample size and maybe move Gunnar to another spot?
I would guess film study by opposing coaches have figured out how to make Pritchett jump.
No point in exposing it until a crucial down and distance play.

So after a spring and fall practice schedule and 4 games into the season its time for an evaluation?

This team is 1 loss away from panic setting in.

I have not seen any reputable story of Holgersen even being in a top 5-10 to get the Oklahoma St. job. I've seen the most smoke about these coaches as potential replacements.

Traylor from UTSA
Kinne from Texas St
Monkon from Army
Klein from A&M
Kotelnicki from Penn St
Arbuckle from Oklahoma
Robinson from the Falcons (Alum)
Candle from Toledo
Vigen from Montana St
even Gary Patterson on lists I've seen.

their QB is massive, WRs made some big plays against USC

defense looked gettable, though
Agreed. Their D looks bad, especially in the passing game. Chiles is an ok QB, but makes some horrible decisions and I hope we can capitalize. Would be nice to jump on them and make them pass. That is going to be a broken record statement the rest of the year.

Agreed. There is no way Holgorsen is going there. Way too many young decent coaches that will probably get a chance before Holgo.

Well, good luck to whoever it is. If the lack of spending reports I've heard since T Boone died are even partially true, that's a no win situation.

I’ve read multiple stories by different writers in The Athletic about potential OSU hires. I’ve been surprised that his name hasn’t been mentioned once. Maybe his time at Houston took off some of the shine?

I was only commenting on what Rhule said himself in his press conference with regard to the D and O lines and RB positions specifically. I would hope the evaluation process is on-going - especially after a loss where those position groups were dominated.

I’ve seen his name on a few lists. They don’t mean anything but has the potential to be a story

Yeah they had T Boone Pickens with his gifts….he is gone and others haven’t picked up the slack. Okie State is right where they need to be, in the big 12
