That's exactly right. And with all the guys returning to this #35 rated defense they should dominate next year. So get a new QB and see how it goes. Should do just as well since they won't have to carry Will and CML
Will Rogers Rumors
- Thread starter GroundsKeeperWillie
- Start date
I feel reasonably certain that he had been instructed not to run., Don't think we had a viable backup, And a serious injury would impact the rest of our season.
So I’m putting you in the nine wins at minimum camp.
A lot already have. Just look at our home attendance average for the last several years. And see why we keep converting undesirable seating into comfortable premium sections. Might as well go ahead and bite the bullet and chairback the entire stadium, lower the capacity to around 50K. That's about what we average now anyway other than the BAMA & OM games. I wonder what Selmon will think about converting the stadium to a nicer more comfortable product vs losing capacity. This isn't the kind of problem he was used to facing at OK. And won't be the problem Cohen will face at Auburn either.
Not sure how the college football transfer portal or NIL is Zach Arnett’s fault
Hadn’t thought about that.
On another note, I do find it odd that he would try to bolt before giving the guy a chance. He doesn’t strike me as that kind of guy.
Wait, I know this one! 2014 and 15.
But I absolutely agree with you that anyone expecting a 9 win season next year is just setting themselves up for disappointment, and that would be true even if we still had Leach with us.
Even though State returns a lot - my worry is the swing games (Auburn, Arkansas, A&M) are on the road. You have to think Auburn and Arkansas will be better. I even thought this if Leach was returning. Even years are better for us in the current setup of the schedule.
Not sure about everyone else, but it’s pretty easy for me to replace it with hanging out with my kids. Honestly should have done it sooner…
ETA: Wanting a piece of the pie is not what’s going on here. They’re wanting the whole pie - every single one of them. And “the pie” is drying up. It took me 13-yrs to pay off my student loans. I’ll be Got Damned if I pay any money to pay for some kid besides mine to go to school moving forward. Just canceled by BI monthly…

I was hoping Will and his experience was something we could count on.
I'm going to wait for this to all shake out before I examine it. We have the portal and we still have the Feb signing day as well and every defection adds a spot to offer someone. I dont want to get deep in the portal merry go round.

If Jefferson stays healthy they will be better. New defense which was their main problem
Will is not going to make any NFL money. A guy that just won his second natty, and he WAS the reason they won them, is not getting much NFL discussion. So this is Will's one chance to make some big money from football. It is the smart move for him .
This. We made our decision. Now it's time to get to work. Arnett will be given time along with the OC unless we have a total meltdown on the field.
Bryce Young could walk out on the field in Maroon and White and some posters would b!tch
I think this might be a good time to suggest everyone back away from the recruiting/NIL/portal rumors and tune back in sometime during July. You can't control any of it and at the end of the day all you get is a few more points added to your blood pressure reading. Just back away.
Meh. Bama QBs usually suck after they leave Tuscaloosa anyway. **
He hasn't left yet. I think there is a great chance of him staying and even Tulu returning. Just have to get the staff and them on the same page.
A move to the PAC12 would be ideal for Will. They don’t play defense out there, and any benefit he provides is neutralized by average and above defenses.
I read somewhere that sixpack’s resident data analyst says 80% of what is on Twitter is ********. Given that, proceed with caution.***
I hate change and I'm sure most of the players hate change but it's always inevitable. By next fall camp everything will be smoothed out and starting to come together. Next year we will all be cheering for the team and hoping for all the success fir errbody
I love Will Rogers. I don’t blame him for doing what’s best for him, as we all would do the same. Likewise if we can get Walker Howard it could be a huge upgrade. I believe Walker Howard’s family is from Jones County Mississippi originally.
We will be alright. The death of Leach 17ed up our upswing in our football team. Morehead 17ed up the last one, and congestive heart failure 17ed up this one. Rebuild is on. The rebuild is much easier with Will and Tulu, but between the two I want Tulu. Tulu has a ceiling, Will has reached his.
Don't we have a pretty good OL returning This Spring? Didn't they seem to be improving towards the end?
I think much of the criticsm on will is fair game. But where you have a QB w/ "questions" you typically find WR's with "questions". Talent tends to cluster. That said, was I the only one that saw a 17-ton of dropped passes this year? Hell I could put a highlight reel together on # 0's time at state.
Edit: And for balance, notice that # 85 never so much as looked at the field again for punt returns after the lsu debacle.

My question was what are the networks going to replace college football with?
I remember when I was 19 and a professor in ChE left. I tried to transfer too.
jk

No clue. Our TV was on for less than 20-hrs in 2022…
Yes but I do think Will might actually benefit with this more balanced offense. High efficiency. Balanced. It might make him better and take the pressure off. He also won't be forced into threading the needle or throwing into triple coverage actually having a run game and play action. I could see more explosive plays with guys being wide open .
Damn Will got you in your feelings today**
I hope Will decides to stay because I think a QB with as much experience as him will be a good thing. However, if he’s leaving because we told him we are exploring bringing him competition for him, then he should go. I don’t want a QB scared of competition
I'm guessing we throw a bit less and may require a QB run depending on the defense. I love Will's heart, his reads on mid distance and how well he worked with Leach. You have to ask yourself though, if you get a true mobile QB and one that throws well down field, that can take a hit as well like it's nothing... You might say I don't like our offense being so heavily one dimensional.
Who knows. We will see
